Visiting Lancaster for awhile, I found yet another place that serves really good Latin food. Buffet style and ready to serve fresh food, with a bunch of variety. They also have the fast empanadas and other fried goodies.

Just don’t expect your food to look like the pictures on menu… I ordered tres golpes and asked for over easy eggs (as seen in the restaurant’s photo of the meal) and the eggs were very overcooked. There was no pickled onion (which is standard for this dish - and also present in the restaurants photo). Was pretty let down and had to cook more eggs at home to go with it, because over-hard eggs make me gag.

It was so comforting to find authentic comida Latino! I was very pleased to see they had Malta India, a sweet malt beverage made in Puerto Rico. I ordered the Mofongo with shrimp in garlic sauce. It was perfect. The plantain bowl was not dry and the sauce was spread evenly over shrimp and plantain bowl. Also had an Alcapurria made of yucca. Being far from family made it hurt a little less with these foods!

An amazing place to get authentic Spanish food. Wonderful empanadas. I love to make a pilgrimage to this comfort food spot. Be warned, the minimum you can charge on a card is five dollars.

Poor service . They are rude. The food was cold fried chicken was not crispy, mofongo was soggy and the beans were bland. It very weird to have bland food from Spanish restaurant so i was very disappointed. The empanadas were also cold and hard. Will not return

This was a last minute choice as the other two places we wanted to go to didn’t work out. I’m so glad they didn’t. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. We don’t speak much Spanish so we mostly guessed based on what looked interesting. We spent about $35 for all this.
