Come back, Culturas! When this tapas joint opened up in 2008, I was excited -- I already loved El…read moreSerrano, and Culturas was just a kicked up version with more options and smaller plates. It quickly became my go-to place for special occasions and date night. To get there, you walk through the main dining area and take an elevator upstairs -- it feels like you're being whisked away to your own private VIP area. The tables upstairs are smaller and fewer, so it's naturally more intimate and less noisy than the main floor, below. The menu had everything you could want -- papas rellenos, yucca, lomo, lamb lollipops, chuletas, camerones, fried avocado, and the most delicious gazpacho I've ever had. When my family was in town, we used to order two or three plates each to share and a carafe or four of Sangria for the table. They changed chefs, they switched hours, they updated the menu (which no longer included gazpacho!), and the last time I was able to go was in 2018. Now the staff tells me Culturas is temporarily closed while they try and find another chef. It's a shame, because it really was one of a kind for Lancaster, so I hope they reopen and expand the hours again. Most recently they were only open two days a week with limited hours. A real bummer.

Me being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't leave work early enough, so I had to rush to get to…read morework on time. This means I didn't pack a lunch and I had to find something fast. My uncle used to be a resident in the Lancaster area, so I went to a place called Prince of Subs, which is known for their chicken wings and, of course, their subs--that's why it's in their name! When I arrived at Prince of Subs it was 11:30 PM at night and I asked for an order of 6 wings, but the guy said, "Let me check." I was surprised because it's a bar and they close at 1:30 in the morning, and of course, greasy food is the best thing to eat when you're drinking. Well, luckily they had six wings left. I asked for some fries and he said they ran out of fries. Me personally, I love some wings and fries. Can't forget about fish and chips, but that's more of a Dublin thing! I don't understand how a chicken spot bar that closes at 1:30 AM doesn't have fries ready, but that's just a story for another day. Because of that, I had to go to a second spot on my way to work. It was a food truck on the side of the road. It had lights so you could still see it, but it was kind of hidden. Come to find out, it's a hidden gem! I got some Dominican loaded fries which had shredded chicken, a bunch of different sauces, some peppers, and of course, fries. I was glad that I made this stop, but I pulled out my cash and I only had a $100 bill on me because it was Friday, it was payday, and I had cashed my check. The guy didn't have change, and so all I had was nine dollars in my pocket besides that one bill. I told him I would come back tomorrow evening. He had a surprised look on his face, but I said, "I work right down the road and I promise you I'll be back before I start work." He trusted me. I gave him my nine dollars and he said okay and gave me my food. As I walked away, it gave me a little bit more faith in humanity. It's amazing how someone that never even knew me, and never saw me before, actually trusted me to come back and give them cash to pay for my food. I did go there the next day and it was a warm welcome, of course. I paid him what I owed him with a little bit extra, only because he had faith in me coming back. I highly recommend this place! Being a truck driver, you always find good food spots along the road, and sometimes you find out if the food is really good or bad while you're going down the road, if you catch my drift. This place is very good; the food settled very well and I definitely give it a hard 4.5 out of 5, only because you cannot see the truck from the road. I hope my review helps you make your decision onto whether you want to eat at this location or not. I hope a college student sees this review as well, because it is right around the corner from Thaddeus Stevens! Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

The Dominican burger, as it's called, was just enough to whet my appetite ( no sides needed ), and I wouldn't ask the chef to change a thing. The ratio of bread to meat to sauce was properly balanced. I appreciate that he used thinly shredded red onions and lettuce in the sauce. Muy muy bueno! I have to admit that I was bugging out a little when I realized that the food truck is diagonal to the Lancaster County prison. I wasn't aware of that beforehand because I wasn't familiar with the area, and I didn't think about making a preorder for pickup. I was just trying to find some highly rated ethnic food on Yelp and just happened to stumble upon this listing. I was out there waiting for my food at 11pm for like 20 minutes. I wasn't scared or threatened... it was just a tad weird. the whole time I sat out in the park across the street from the cart I kept looking over my shoulder. The neighborhood Papi's were out there in full effect getting their late night grub. I also wished that the prices were listed on the menu. Someone posted a picture of the menu 4 years ago and chimis costed $5 each back then, but I paid $10 per Chimi. That's a helluva markup over a short span of time. On the bright side they do take cards unlike some other food trucks.

Sadly they were closed (permanently?!). I'll always have the memories. But, like they say, when one door closes another one opens. El Castro reasonably satisfied my craving for Latin food. I had the cubed steak with yellow rice and beans. It's a solid 7/10 flavor wise. I did notice that they really load up on the rice so perhaps you won't notice that they're going easy on the protein. It took a good while longer than the 10 minutes I was quoted for the food to come out even though it wasn't especially busy. Nevertheless, it's a solid choice if you are craving Latin food. It's no Mi Caldero but you could do worse.

We stopped in on our way home from the Lancaster downtown and we were in search of something that wasn't greasy pub food. Friscos more than delivered on that request. It was a bonus that they had TVs and the World Cup playing. If being critical, the white meat was a little chewy and dry but the charcoal flavor was there. I'm guessing they're being careful about foodborne illness and cooking to higher temps. Using some of the 3 sauces was a a must. The leg, however, was to die for even without sauce. Juicy and fell right off the bone. The rice (chaufa) was cooked well and flavor was not overtly soy sauce thankfully. Green beans were crispy and fresh. Overall, I would recommend Friscos to anyone in search of a healthier option for dinner.

The doubles? Exceptional. Soft, perfectly filled, and full of flavor. And the hot pepper sauce? Whew. It didn't just add heat, it elevated an already outstanding dish to another level. I ordered so many doubles I barely had room for anything else but I had to try the dhal and it was exactly what I needed. Comforting, rich, and done right. Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint. Trust me, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.
