The lady put broth on top of rice (which is normal in our culture, I'm Cuban , but they put so much salt that it was inedible) Very small portions!

The server was waiting for me to place my order as I was looking at the various options I turned my head slightly and as soon as I did that she was digging so deep in her nose while hovering over the food. When I quickly looked up due to this bewildering and gross behavior the server quickly removed her hand and asked me what I would like to order. I'm not sure if this is a sick joke but hygiene and the dos and don't need to be reintroduced to this establishment. Not that they will ever be getting my service again. This is for future patrons that plan to dine there. Think twice they are hiring anybody!

I found this place and ordered some drinks--coconut water and a Monster, a Pernil Combo, and also a Chuleta combo. I took a bite from both, and it hit all the right notes.

The service is always good, I suggest using the app to order your food ahead of time. Especially if you want things that take time to prepare. The only large negative is the food is not always fresh, or hot. One visit it's perfect and the next it almost cold. Unfortunately, for me consistency is very important. Nevertheless try El Morro out, it's worth a stop!

I'm always taken care of with courtesy and given my order promptly by the ladies that work there. One of my favorite things to get is the boneless fish with fries. The fried fish beats the usual "bland" fish and chips that you get at most other places and has a lot more flavor. The beef patties are another favorite of mine, nice and spicy with a little extra kick to them! I'm blessed to have Yaad Food so close to where I work for lunch. Check them out you won't be disappointed!

A Place That Feels Like Home…read more Some restaurants are worth visiting because of the food. Others are worth visiting because of the people. Hola Restaurant is one of the rare places that gives you both since the moment you walk in. I first discovered Hola about 4 years ago when I was working near Island Pond. Every Friday, my coworkers and I looked forward to ordering from there. We'd all pitch in for breakfast or lunch, and my boss would pick up our order. It quickly became our Friday tradition, and honestly, it was always the highlight of the workweek. Over the years, Hola has become much more than just a restaurant to me. I've trusted them to cater my baby shower and my son's birthday, and every single time they exceeded my expectations. Whenever friends or family come to visit, Hola is one of the first places I take them because I know they'll leave impressed, not just by the food, but by the experience. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. No matter what we order, it never disappoints. Even now, living about 40 minutes away, I still make the drive because it's simply that good. What truly sets Hola apart, though, is the people. The woman who cooks is one of the sweetest, most loving people you'll ever meet, and the staff makes you feel like you're walking into a family member's home rather than a restaurant. They remember your name, they remember your family, and they genuinely ask how everyone is doing. Those little moments mean so much because they make you feel seen, appreciated, and welcomed every single time you walk through the door. In today's world, it's becoming harder to find places that combine amazing food with genuine hospitality. Hola Restaurant has mastered both. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share because the food usually disappears before I even think about taking one! But trust me when I say this place is worth every single penny. If you're anywhere near Springfield or even if you're not, make the trip. I promise you won't regret it. For me, it's not just a restaurant anymore. It's a place that feels like home, and I'll continue recommending it to everyone I know. Highly, highly recommended.
