Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5 out of 5; the flavors felt kind of weak. I got Arroz blanco con habichuelas guisada (white rice and stewed Puerto Rican beans) con carne frita (fried pork fritter) and the portion was a good ammount 5/5 there too. I also got two empanadas: one pizza, one beef, and cheese--those were a major hit, 5/5! I will be going back in the future to try all the other options they have because there's a lot to try

Owner Melissa is super sweet. Oh, and they have homemade picante (hot sauce) can't wait to try it. Will definitely go back later. They have a nice menu and outdoor seating.

One of the positives is they have their own parking lot, which makes it easier to visit in downtown Lancaster. The restaurant is set up in a cafeteria style where you can go through the line and see all the amazing food they have behind the glass to choose from. The employees will fill your plate/to-go container with the items you choose. They also do not skimp when filling your plate! I bet ours weighted a couple pounds! The large plate is only $17! On this first visit we stayed to the basics we know and love- yellow rice w/beans, roasted pork (pernil), sweet plantains, and a beef and cheese empanada. Everything was bursting with flavor and seasoned perfectly. The food we tried was the best we've had in PA! GSL is easy to get to off rt 30 and you can pre-order online for take-out. I highly recommend!

The food was flavorful. I got the goat, and morcilla (blood sausage) and my partner got the beef, platanos, and yuca. His beef was fall-off-the-bone tender, platinum, and yuca was great. My goat was a bit chewy, and morcilla a bit dry, but still very tasty. I'd definitely come back to try their other à la carte dishes. There are so many choices even if I went back every day for lunch for a week, I still would not be able to sample all that they offer. I couldn't take a pic of my partner's plate as it was so good he inhaled all of it, I barely got any, and that's how you know his plate was amazing!! Service was awesome as well, the lady was so nice and helpful.

First off LOVE the domino's setup inside the restaurant. Great cultural references to Puerto Rican and Dominican Culture. Menu is pretty extensive with tons of traditional dishes such as mofongo, tostones, pernil, rice and beans, pollo guisada, carne guisada, etc. We did the Lancaster Restaurant Meal Deal. 3 course for $29 dollars. Now don't get me wrong food was EXCELLENT. But 29 dollars was a little steep compared to other Puerto Rican and Dominican Cuisine restaurants in the Lancaster, York, Lebanon Areas! We got Tostones (garlic sauce was AMAZING!) typically tostones are served with mayoketchup (they have their own version of mayoketchup which was good as well!). The second course was their Pernil, Yellow Rice and side of beans. Also a fantastic dish. The Pernil was not fatty at all and had a great marinated flavor! The smoothie was the 3rd course. Morir Soñando. Think of an Orange juice smoothie/milkshake. Not orange creamsicle. I could drink one of these everyday! Very good would like to go back for the mofongo!

The doubles? Exceptional. Soft, perfectly filled, and full of flavor. And the hot pepper sauce? Whew. It didn't just add heat, it elevated an already outstanding dish to another level. I ordered so many doubles I barely had room for anything else but I had to try the dhal and it was exactly what I needed. Comforting, rich, and done right. Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint. Trust me, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.
