Outstanding. Puerto Rican food is underrated and this place does it right. I'll be going each chance I get.

I was recommended El Wiscorican by Bonnie's Balls owner, Bonnie and it did not disappoint! No…read morecarry-out meal has wowed me to this degree with quantity, texture, and FLAVORS! Puerto Rican cuisine isn't in my usual food palate but it will be now! El Wiscorican usually operates through a food truck but they also have family meals that are announced early in the week and then you can pick up either Thursday/Friday at FEED (Food Enterprise & Economic Development) between 4:30-6:30. What's really great is that that you can pick half of full orders. The half was more than plenty for me (and a few days extra). You call them when you are in the parking lot at FEED and they bring the the food to you car. The week I ordered, I decided to get the Skirt steak, Arroz griego (bacon n beer rice), yuca mofongo, Chimichurri, house made bread (pan sobao) full 45$/half $25. Let me tell you, I was totally blown away! The arroz griego was super light and fluffy in texture, a bright orange color, and packed with flavor (without being salty). I was surprised how large the pan was and impressed how fluffy the texture was. It had a bit fo sweetness to it which was amazing. The yuca are fried upon arrival so when you get them they are nice and crispy on the outside with a soft inside. The spicy aioli that accompanies them have the perfect kick of spice! On the main, the steak was sliced into bit-size strips and was so tender and juicy. The chimichurri sauce was delightful and just drizzled oh so nicely over the steak. My last shoutout that you do not want to skip on is the pastries! The guava cheese pastry was incredible! Outside was nice and flakey but the guava jam shined through so well and couple perfect with the cheese filling. Best and most convenient food to eat while driving (yes, I frequently eat dessert first). Don't walk, RUN to try El Wiscorican, because it really is just that good!

I went through my entire 34 year long life not being able to pick my "favorite food" and then…read moresomeone introduced me to El Wiscorican and I know for sure this is THE BEST food I've ever had!

The food here is authentic and absolutely worth stopping. I had a lemonade, arroz co pollo, and a…read moreHawaiian empanada. They were all delicious. The arroz con pollo was a large serving, it could easily feed two.

I wanted to check out this place due to the long lines I've seen on the weekends, the word of mouth…read morerecommendations, and generally the fact that I love Empanadas. I came for lunch with a friend and the experience was good! I can see why it is considered a staple. The space itself is large. Bigger than you would expect and has a decent amount of seating and very cute decor. It felt Disney esc and like they were trying to get you to have some interaction and immersion. The service was top notch. Our server was very attentive, informative, and friendly. She did forget to give us the lunch specials menu, but quickly got it when we asked, which PROTIP, there is a lunch special but it's not on the main menu at all. Now, lets talk about the food. We ordered the following - - Beef Empanada: Small, but mighty. Packed full of shredded beef and fried to the top degree, almost edging on too crispy, but realistically can there be too much? Like I said, it was small for $3.75, but was piping hot and I loved the cilantro dip that came with it. -Arroz Con Pollo : Super Flavorful rice that is piping hot when it comes out. I'm not a fan of plantains usually but these were fantastic and went well with the meal. The lunch doesn't come with Fries or a drink, but the amount of rice you get is enough to fill you up -Pechuga al Limon: Fried chicken with a buttery lemony sauce on top. This was a massive dish that also came with fries and salad. -Hazelnut Latte: Not too much hazelnut, lots of milk Overall, I'd probably give them closer to a 3.5, but rounded up as the food was good and the experience was solid. If I'm on the east side I would consider meeting up with a friend there, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
