They are open until midnight and have a variety of foods that are already in a steam table prepared so you can eat quickly or you can order off the menu. The daughter is Naomi and she was our server and speaks English. I know a few words in Spanish, enough to order my food, but thankfully, Naomi spoke perfect English. It is a small place with a small parking lot. If you are looking for ambience, this is not an elegant restaurant, but more of an authentic feel. While we like elegance, we much prefer this home style experience. The service was quick, it was wonderful, and very helpful. They have juices made on premise. I had guava, and my husband had soursop. That cow foot stew was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. This is a little gem in Reading and in walking distance of the Santander arena and the Doubletree Hotel. This is a perfect spot if you happen to get into town late because most of the restaurants close very early. We arrived a little after 8 PM, and many things were already shut down and shuttered. El Tronco de Lily's to the rescue.

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. El plátano te lo sirven cortados en pedazos y medio aplastados y gordos - no crujientes. Los chips grasoso y la salsa, definitivamente barato y comprado en el supermercado (tipo Tostitos o Pace). Dos platos, dos jugos = $75. Con propina= $90. Muy caro y la calidad no compensa.

On top of that, they also provide a few sauces: brown beef gravy, green chimichurri-like sauce, yellow mostly sweet honey mustard, Italian dressing for the salad.

After I thought we confirmed it, realized they left out my tres leches but glad we checked before finalizing the order. The cashier lady was very kind in fixing it right away and also explaining what was all in the platter.

I was in Reading for a soccer game today and was looking for a place to eat afterwards. As I was…read morelooking on Yelp, I found Olocuilta and decided to give it a try! The restaurant was practically empty when we went in, and when the waitress came over to take our order, I asked her what she recommended. She told me that any of the pupusas were fantastic, the pechuga de pollo, or the carne asada; however, she told me that I should order la especial de La casa if I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so of course I had to go with that. When I looked at the picture given on the menu, it looked like it came with carne asada, a pupusa, and some vegetables. When I got it tho, it was loaded with almost everything on the menu! I'm not sure if it normally comes like this, but it was outstanding! Both the chicken and steak were cooked perfectly, the rice and beans were delicious, and served along side of a cream sauce, some fresh cheese, and avocado. But that wasn't it! Then another plate having some vegetables, a meat and cheese pupusa, and a tamal came out! I was definitely overwhelmed by the amount of food, but I wasn't complaining!! Everything was so delicious and I didn't leave anything behind! This all cost $16, which is a bargain for the amount of food and the quality of the food as well! I also had to get an horchata because it was recommended to us, and it was so good! It wasn't as thick as it can be sometimes, and went down really easily! I will be dreaming of this platter of food for the next couple of days, and highly highly recommend trying Oloculita out if you're in the area!

To make the process easier, we wrote down our order beforehand, since the employees spoke limited English. We ordered Steak, Adobada, Chicken, and Birria Tacos, and Bean and Cheese Pupusas.

She was more than eager to sway from the typical breakfast joints, and I'd had a hankering for Mangu con Los Tres Golpes, so I turned to Yelp for advice. I've wanted to visit this spot for a bit now, so I was happy to find it was on the menu! I locked my bike up to a pole out front, and luckily the window granted clear view, so I could keep an eye the entire meal. (No matter where I'm at my anxiety is always a bit high when I can't see her ) I was pleasantly surprised upon entering the establishment. It's just an open square with a very clean feel and plenty of chairs and tables. The waitress welcomed us immediately to the front counter, and I ordered for my friend and I since she wasn't accustomed to the cuisine. But she is very happy to know about it's existence now. And for the remainder of the meal our waitress was extremely attentive and helpful. She even offered a bag for my to go container when she realized I was putting it in my backpack for the ride home. Yay for no greasy leaks. I'm a proud Italian, but Dominican salami might be a little higher in my preferences. (Don't tell my PopPop). I obviously don't know exactly good from bad Dominican food, but I absolutely loved the texture of the mangu, the fried cheese, and the salami! The egg was cooked perfectly as well. For $8 you can't beat the portions. It's definitely on the greasier side (considering the butter and the frying aspect), but after leg day and a bike ride over, it's well worth it. Psh worth it even without the exercise! I (and I'm sure my friend) will definitely be back soon. Also they have free parking out back! The only negative I guess would be that our circular table swiveled around.. but I'm like 7, so I kind of enjoyed it.
