This little slice of heaven is located in an old bank giving it a fortress feel outside. Inside you find a cute space decorated by the very proud Puerto Rican owners. I ordered at the counter from an I-pad like device than sat with eager anticipation. The smells coming from the kitchen made my mouth water something fierce. When my food arrived I was like a Mad Dog as I tore into my meals ( yes plural, don't judge ) I began by dumping my garlic sauce all over my Mofongo. Next I poured my shrimp over my rice and peas and now I was ready to eat. The garlic completely complimented the plantain mash and when I paired that with some of my shrimp from my other dinner it was a match made in heaven. The shrimp were not only cooked perfectly but they were huge and I generously got about 10 to my order. The rice and peas were perfectly flavored on their own but were made better with the addition of the shrimp & peppers along with their magical Criolla sauce . I also tried both the guava pastries as well as the Quesitos and both were fire . Overall the prices are really good for the quantity and quality of their food, service was quick and my only wish is they were closer to my house, but they are definitely worth the 35 mile trip

RR is just what this area needed! I've been here a few times now, and I love it. When I confessed to the staff that I'm not fond of spicy food, they insisted that Puerto Rican, while flavorful, is not spicy unless you ask for a spicy sauce. They were absolutely right on that description. So far, I've had Monfongo (w/ shrimp), ground beef & cheese Pastalillo, loaded Relleno, and Maduros. Everything was delicious, but special shout-out to the Pastelillo, which was EXCELLENT. It's flaky fried dough, stuffed with your choice of protein. In my humble opintion, this is the best item on a menu filled with great food. Also...just added to the menu are Tres Leches cake, and Chocolate Tres Leches cake. The chocolate was great. I love that it was sweet, but not *too* sweet. I'll be ordering food here a lot.

Really loved this place. Authentic Puerto Rican food and great service…read more The staff is engaging and willing to help you if you aren't familiar with Puerto Rican food. Lots of locals and lunch crowd. Staff knew people by name when they came in. Everything was made by them. The pulled pork bowl was my favorite. The fried plantains in the bowl were awesome. If there is one thing I would change it is the dinning room. It is clean and spacious but very utilitarian. For all the ethnic charm of the staff and vibrant flavors the dinning room is spartan. Highly recommend you try this place - I drove out of my way to get here and it was worth it.

Extremely clean. They take much pride in cleanliness, that scored major points with me. El Turpial appears to be a mom-and-pop family-run restaurant, that has plenty of room for indoor dining, as well as a variety of to-go options. Wanting to come to support local businesses, I figured I'd give this a try. Plus the pictures of the food had my mouth watering The staff was friendly and helpful, and explained the menu to me. I had the chicken empanadas which were delicious. They had a tasty, slightly sweet taste on the outside, and on the inside the chicken was juicy, packed with flavor, and the melted cheese had an amazing savory, tangy flavor that practically melts in your mouth. I then indulged into the pastrami sandwich, which just smacked of deliciousness. Reminded me of something I could get in New York City. The bread had a great chew, firmness, and fresh baked taste. The pastrami was premium quality, and everything they put on it was perfect. And it was huge! I didn't want to eat too much, but I couldn't stop because it was so delicious! I love this place, and plan on returning next time I'm in Ashtabula to try some more Puerto Rican dishes! Wonderful!

For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and did a great job throughout our meal. I ordered the Garlic Chimichurri Shrimp. While the shrimp was cooked well, it had a pretty fishy taste that just wasn't for me, and I wasn't a fan of the cilantro aioli. Several people in our group really liked the pineapple dressing, though, so I'd definitely give that a try if I went back. Next time, I'd order a different entrée because there were several other dishes that looked delicious. The only thing that felt a little off was when we first walked in. The gentleman at the front just stared at us without greeting or acknowledging us, which was a bit intimidating. It wasn't a huge deal, but a simple "Hi, we'll be with you in a moment" would have made for a warmer first impression. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd definitely return to try something different on the menu. I also had the flan, which was pretty good and the Tropical Bay House which was tasty! ,
