I also like their flavorful sides - rice, beans & platanos. There are many people who swear by their Ropa Vieja but again I couldn't tell you about that or anything else on their menu. The Lechon just gives me such a comforting feeling of joy that I don't want to try anything else.

Their Santa Clara location is such a prime spot for great foods and the owners are such kind people! We tried their beef stew plate, it was hearty and packed with flavor. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked. 5/5! Their gauva strudels were so yummy and fresh. I air fried them when I brought them home to heat it up and that was magical! The guava cheese was also super yum! 5/5. The sweet owners offered us empanadas and croquettes during our wait and those were so good as well! The empanadas were flaky and flavorful. The chicken/pork croquettes were nice and crispy. Support local and give them a try!

I was in search of authentic Puerto Rican cuisine for a special birthday lunch at work for 15 people. I thought maybe we could try one or two dishes but the menu she put together was amazing! We had a delicious rice dish with pork belly, Pernil, fried chicken that was hands down the best fried chicken! Clearly made from the heart! The beans were like nothing I've had before, plantains and the beef empanada were cooked to perfection. Her mamagotchu sauce was a favorites by all, a fun savory condiment that complimented everything dish. Rochelle's communication from the beginning was dialed in and she responded within the day to my text and email inquiry. She met us at our budget with generous portions and every dish had so much flavor. She delivered the food with her warm bubbly personality and I'm so grateful we found her through Yelp. If you want a delicious, catered event with food that folks will be talking about for days after, call on Mama Roc! I will definitely be on the lookout for any events she will be at locally.

Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the sauces are seriously amazing. They make their own chimichurri sauce, a super spicy habanero sauce, and a creamy white sauce that somehow makes every bite even better. The fresh juices are also worth trying. You can tell they're actually fresh. This spot is flavorful, memorable, and absolutely worth going out of your way for.

Dip in the side sauce for extra flavor. Shrimp cheviche: ok, not very memorable Ropa veija: 3.5/5 not a big fan of this type and texture of meat but it had good flavor. Rice reminded me of paella. Pork empanada: surprisingly a bit sweet. It was probably the white sauce that was drizzled on it. Liked the crisp outside but filling could use more flavor. Havana Bananas: looked to be super sweet but it wasn't overly sweet. Bananas are a bit mushy so expect that. Overall tasty. Glad to have tried this place.

You Guava be Kidding Me…read more A bakery and juicery that has been serving up delicious Colombian specialties since 1999 in Colombia, before emigrating to the US and opening up shop here in Cambrian Park in 2014. Milohas (mil hojas) means a thousand layers in Spanish, and one taste of Milohas' pastries will make you understand why they picked that moniker. The Good: * Large shared parking lot * Friendly service * Covered outdoor dining * The crust of the empanadas was buttery, flaky, and delicious. All the fillings were good, but you have to try the Hawaiian filling! It was truly fantastic and had us wishing that's all we'd ordered. * Guava Finger has the same perfect crust and tasty guava jam--I could eat a dozen of these and come back for more. *oink oink* * Carissa really enjoyed their lentil soup. I didn't try it, so I can't comment. The Meh: * I kind of prefer the chunks of meat in Peruvian empanadas to the ground meat in Colombian ones, but that's just a personal preference. It was still delicious, so at the end of the day, it's all academic. The Ugly: * No indoor dining, and outdoor dining is limited to only a handful of seats. Conclusion: We've been on the hunt for the best empanadas in the South Bay, and we finally found them.

Finally tried Milohas as they've been on my list for a while and have a lot of great reviews. Oh…read moreman, was I disappointed. Ordered two empanadas: Spinach & Cheese and a Chicken & Potato. I wanted to get some desert items but they seemed to have very few things to choose from. I would have asked questions but inside the store was strangely loud and the woman who helped me was a low talker so I couldn't understand anything she was saying to me as it was. The empanadas are pretty large, as are the prices. $17 for the two. At this price point I was glad I decided not to buy more. Each comes with a tiny side of aji green sauce. They could have been more generous here. I found the spinach to be very salty and more breading than filling. The chicken one was a letdown. Chicken was lacking any flavor. For both the pastry was dry. Was only able to eat half of each and threw the rest away. Not really the kind of place you dine in for. You order at the counter and there is limited seating inside (in a way that makes you not want to dine in), and a few seats outside. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. This visit and subsequent review makes me feel sad. I want to support these unique, independent eateries but they make it difficult when the quality doesn't meet the high cost. Improvements would be to reevaluate their recipes, make the pastries less dry and dense, and maybe don't be so skimpy on the fillings.

My go to is the Lomo Saltado the meat is tender with the green spicy sauce is a game changer! Of course I want more meat (who doesn't!? haha) but portion is pretty reasonable for the price. My wife typically orders the Arroz con Mariscos which is a heafty portion with a very creamy/rich flavor. We usually add some lemon which elevates the flavor! We also order the ceviche trio & the pulpo appetizer both are great dishes just wish there was more pulpo. Nevertheless we will remain regulars at Inka's. We just love the food it's always comforting and delicious!

They don't tell you about 2% credit card fee unless you print out the receipt to check by yourself. When you select 18% tip, the amount calculated by POS is actually around 20%.

Unfortunately, I've now been missing the free pupusa four orders in a row. Each time I called to let them know, I was told to come back to get the free one. After the third time this happened, I stopped calling and claiming my free one. Now I no longer order 10 and instead only get the 7 I need for my family. Because the free pupusa is consistently forgotten, they end up losing out on additional sales each time I order now.

Catering service at my company and I was pleasantly surprised…read more First, the food came on time and we probably ordered for like 200+ people. Our menu includes stewed chicken, jerk pork, coconut curry garbanzo beans, jerk tofu, rasta pasta, steamed veggies, island salad, sweet plantains. I did not try all of them, but I tried the stew chicken, jerk pork and rasta pasta and they all tasted good. The Stew Chicken (What A Gwann) has good big pieces of chicken, such as the drum sticks or the leg quarter. There were bell pepper strips in the tray and they soaked up the flavors. The chicken drum stick that I got was not dry at all; I left the food on the plate for a few hours and finally started eating it cold (it was a busy day!) and the chicken was still tasty! What a pleasant surprise! The Jerk Pork was also cut up in big pieces, I do like the cut but there are some layers of fat on the meat that I prefer not to have but I understand that's what makes the meat has good texture. The Jerk Tofu was plated nicely, too bad my stomach ran out of room to try it. The Rasta Pasta was another good surprise. It was in a creamy sauce with bell pepper strips. It has a nice kick and not just like the usual white cream sauce, perhaps of the jerk seasoning. Overall, I would come back for the pasta and the stew chicken for the Caribbean cuisine.
