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

I was not expecting to find several Puerto Rican restaurants in Lancaster PA, but that's exactly…read morewhat I found! El Jibarito has a window to order takeout from and a backyard area with tables if you want to eat onsite. I liked the casual vibe of this restaurant. My fella had a pernil sandwich that he said was one of the best he's had, and my friend had a pernil plate. I had the mofongo with shrimp. The shrimp were really good and I liked that the mofongo didn't have chicharron in it, although it was a little dry. Overall great meal and experience and it was nice to meet the owner who was a sweetheart. I watched a steady stream of customers come and go while I was there, so its safe to say El Jibarito is a popular eatery in Lancaster.

Absolutely AMAZING chicken pastelillos. I was in love the moment I took the first bite. Very soft outer dough, deliciously moist chicken, and mouth watering flavor. I almost devoured it instantly. I would absolutely LOVE to have some again. I'm ashamed to say that the pastelillos were the only thing I got. Overall: Chicken pastelillos 11/10 Service 10/10 Price: $8 for two

I was happy and excited to try fare and loved looking at the decor as I waited. They have chairs outside for you to chill and wait for your order because they do fry the pastelillos on the spot! Staff was helpful and you can see they are passionate. I ordered the 2 pastelillos with 1 side. I chose the beef and cheese and the mofongo jawn that has the mofongo and pernil. My side was the pickled yucca. I have to be honest! I loved the sizes and filling of the pastelillos. They do not skimp here on the fillings. The dough is light and perfectly crisp. The Mofongos jawn was a bit dry to me and although the garlic seasoning was good it was just too overpowering. All I tasted was garlic and I love garlic but that was super garlicky. The beef and cheese was good but a bit on the salty side. The yucca was well seasoned and delicious. It was given cold as a salad I was looking for it to be warm, the traditional way. It was still Bomb! I heated it up and the spices and pickling are certainly on point. I'll be back try some vegan options and the arroz con gandules. You can feel the

I will update later . The Alcapurias were delicious just a bit too small . The establishment looks very clean . The man in the pastry register was not open about recommending anything . He was in a big rush to get the line moving . The ladies working in the food section were not friendly. I recommend El Coqui . Overall the food & pastries were delicious.

No se si fue recalentado en el microondas o que, pero parece que fue así. Los patacones tienen que ser aplastados para que sean crujientes.

Dos platos, dos jugos = $75. Con propina= $90. Muy caro y la calidad no compensa.
