a variety of condiments

A hidden treasure that you need to find is located in the Saugus mall. It's nested quietly and humbly in the old food court ...palace once inhabited by various fast food franchises. It is now a haven and hor bed of fresh ethnic food from Cuban to African. El Guajiro is one of those little places you will fall in love with. We were there early at opening around 10 am , they were still preparing the day's dishes. The empanadas are wonderful as was the Cuban sandwich. Choose from and entree and various side dishes including the rice and beans, tostones, etc. The staff was warm and friendly and have the location a welcoming feeling that is becoming rarer in today's restaurants. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

Went here for the first time last night (Friday night) after stumbling on it on Yelp. With the big snow storm coming today plus it being a bit on the late side by time we were there (~7:30pm), the food court was pretty quiet and the food had been sitting in their serving trays for a bit I'd imagine. That being said, it was all still really delicious! Got the Ropa Vieja combo (always one of my favorites) and it did not disappoint! And the Black Rice and veggies I got with it were great (and pretty rich in flavor). Hubby got the shrimp and they were awesome. As was the Yellow Rice and Tostones Had wanted to tried the Maduros, but the ones in the serving trays didn't look the greatest (again, likely because they had been sitting out for some time since the food court was so quiet last night). Definitely will be back and will try to come during a busy lunch time when the food is turning over more.

My second time there and the food is still awesome. Black rice, ropa vieja and platanos Maduro. So good!

Family-owned and operated, this Cuban restaurant just opened up the food court area of the Square One Mall last month. As first-time visitors to this mall, we were thrilled to see an authentic Cuban offering as it had been a long while since we had some Cuban food. We each ordered the (classic) Cuban sandwich, which comes with a side (we went with one order of fried plantains and one order of yuca fries--each were good pairings to the sandwich). The pork in the sandwich was shredded and juicy, which added more texture to the sandwich overall, pairing well with the sliced ham and pickles and cheese. This sandwich really hit the spot! We are excited to visit this place again whenever we come back to the mall, which won't be that often since it's quite a drive from where we live. But if we're in the area, we're coming back for more!

Caribe Restaurant - 2 Chicken Stew plates, extra rice + beans, 4 Chicken Pastelito, 1 Beef Pastelito + potato salad

Caribe Restaurant

Caribe is one of the best dominican restaurants on the north shore. i've never eaten in the…read morerestaurant so i can't speak on the ambiance, but i've gotten take-out dozens of times over 8 years. if you call to place an order, they only speak spanish. i recently ordered through ubereats and was pleasantly surprised at how much food we got. i ordered 2 chicken stew plates, one with white rice + black beans, and one with rice of the day, and an extra side of rice and beans, plus one beef and four chicken pastelitos. add potato salad + extra chicken sauce! dinner was to serve 4 people and i was worried i didn't get enough since it was only two plates, but we had more than enough. the chicken came with 4 thighs and 2 drumsticks, and everything was absolutely delicious as always. on ubereats there is no option to add a side of beans that aren't black, so it would be nice to have that option. also my order was $41 but $60 due to delivery fees + tip, so you're better off coming in if you can. CHICKEN STEW 9/10 CHICKEN PASTELITOS 8/10 BEEF PASTELITOS 7.5/10 RICE + BEANS 10/10 POTATO SALAD 8.5/10 i also recommend their breakfast plates, their eggs + yucca are a perfect start to the day. Caribe 4.3/5

A crime against Mofongo . Dry , horrible , served with chicken was shockingly fried to hell …read more Arrived cold even though it took forever to prepare . Giant disappointment
