When I'm in town visiting my family, I like to take my nephews out for an ethnic feast. This time…read morewe selected De Rican Chef. Restaurant is somewhat sizable, with vibrant decor. Our waiter Ronald was friendly and helped with recommendations. We went with the appetizer sampler that included beef empanadas, tostones, chicharones de pollo and one other delicious item that I forgot the name of. We added morcilla (blood sausage) and yuca fries to the appetizer round. Both were very good. We enjoyed the whole red snapper, churrasco mofongo, and bacalao guisado mofongo. All were excellent but we found the dishes with the mofongo to be our favorites. We ended with flan, tres leches cake, and platanos maduros. All three were great, the platanos were piping hot and high quality! Somewhat surprised that they didn't have coffee available but all in all, a great experience!

Unprofessional and Discriminatory Treatment by Bartender Juan…read moreI came here with two of my friends (gay), and we all ordered the same drink, a pitcher of sangria that we shared equally. Out of nowhere, the bartender, Juan, decided to cut off only my two friends, even though we all drank the exact same amount. He told me I was fine to keep drinking, but refused to serve them and asked us to leave. The way he singled out my friends felt unfair, inconsistent, and discriminatory. They weren't acting drunk, disrespectful, or causing any issues. We were all just enjoying our time. Instead of explaining anything professionally, Juan handled the situation with attitude and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. This is not how customers should be treated, and it definitely ruined our experience. We won't be returning, and I hope management addresses this seriously.

The amount of time to get it to the table is at least 45 minutes. The flavor and seasoning is on point. The ambience was ok. I would recommend they decorate the table with glass cups which retain the smell of grease, less. It was so distracting to turn the metal cup around after serving myself water. To be distracted by the smell of grease on the cup. I smelled all the cups on the table and they all smelled the same way. The staff members try to do their best, but it is not a 5 star service if you are expecting that. It is ok.. I would go back with lots of time (not hungry) and ask for bottled water.

Theres another popular PR spot around here that a lot of people like but honestly that one doesn't stand a chance next to Borincano, they other one is grease central. The chicharon de pollo is great, the chuleta, churrasco and the sorullitos!!! That stands the real test,the sorullitos were crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside!!!

I had been wanting to try this place for months after seeing it all over social media and hearing…read moreall the amazing reviews. So on a Thursday evening l picked up 2 combo specials from Capicu. It was Buy one get one free. Each combo was 22 dollars. I ordered off of the website for pick up. l ordered the Pernil (roasted pork) with white rice, beans and sweet plantains and my second combo was the pollo asado with rice with pigeon peas and tostones . On my way to pick up i got a call stating that they were out of the chicken (totally understandable since it was close to closing time ) So I opted for the beef empanadas. I appreciate the customer service of them calling me before I got there and giving me different options. Upon arrival I was uncomfortable with the smell. Not sure if it was old oil and grease but it was pleasant. I received my food (which was so plentiful when I checked in the car.) However , the smell of the food , was as if the oil that it was prepared with was old. Not pleasant at all. Smelled up my entire car. Finally home to taste the peril was just okay 4/10 it tasted old and like it in fact had been prepared or reheated with dirty oil. The sides and empanadas were not bad. 7/10

Last month, I ordered takeout from this spot that's been frequented from Sophia and myself. The…read moreboth of us were never disappointed with our meals. Pre-pandemic, this was a place where we would have dine-in visits with friends of ours from a social group or just the two of us. It was probably close to a year since we last appeared so it was time to stop by. Similiar to the past visits, I called in our orders. They greeted me promptly when I walked in where there was only one table occupied. Quick and easy. For our orders, which both served as dinner and lunch for work at our respective sites, we chose their Cubano sandwich with our usual sides (fries for myself and plantains for Sophia). As always, the sandwich was pretty good packed with ham and roasted pork, pickles, cheese and mustard (both had no mayo). I would've liked for more fries in the box, but I had enough for both servings. La Pena Horeb came through once again. You know I'll be ordering takeout from here down the road. Till next time :)

I put specifics and they actually read them and it was correct. I always get the mofongos, tostones, rice and beans, pernil...but I was sad I didn't see the flan! I hope they decide to add it. I am obsessed! This place is hands down better than any other restaurant on the peninsula and south side.

I do want to next time I see the truck! So Filipinos have their own version of empanada with the biggest difference being the doughnut. Ours is thicker these are flaky and light and fried. Always good when things are fried! I really like the chicken (could really taste the adobo powder yum!) And the cheese. Very "pully" which i like. Lol the ground beef....hmmmm....not a big fan. I would have loved to taste an empanada with peril in it. Overall not bad though. I woukd definitely get it again! And next time try the alcapurrias.

However, of the things I have tried so far, it's hard for me to get other things when I go. I've tried five things on their menu and I'm kind of stuck there!

There is a reason Jabellz sells out within a couple hours of being open. This team of two are…read morerocking from open (often 1030-1045 until sold out). The menu at the window shows exactly what they are selling for the day. They prefer card (with very good reason since COVID started)! They primarily communicate their truck location on the Instagram & recently started testing mobile orders (which I think is AMAZING). I typically rotate between the taco bowl & the steak/chicken tacos w/ no hot sauce (I'm a wimp when it comes to any heat- so give it a try for yourself if you like a little temp). I typically eat here everyday for lunch on Langley minus Wednesday's (because they are not on base that day LOL)! Not only is the food phenomenal but the owners are pretty great also! Do yourself a favor & check out Jabellz, I promise you won't be disappointed!
