We are very blessed . . …read more That our area of Southeastern Connecticut has such a large Puerto Rican population - - or we may have never tasted the wonderful food that this restaurant offers. One of the best, if not THE VERY BEST, restaurants in the local area. My only concerns: 1) I didn't see a bathroom, but I didn't need one ‍; 2) we could have used a knife for the pork stick, but we should have asked. The staff is extremely helpful. Wonderful designs, with lots of inspiration. Now for the food: - Chicken Steam Plate: Chicken leg, rice & beans, fried plantain pieces. Chicken super moist, rice was outstanding, & plantains were very tasty. - Beef Stew: very good, similar to Filipino Beef Mechado. - Pork Stick: great tasting pork - - for me, I would have liked a bit more "fatty" on my stick, but it was really meaty!!! - Beans were nicely done. - Smashed Plantains were served with 1000 Island dressing: probably just as good without the dressing. - Ground Beef Empanada: good, a bit of vegetables would have put it over the top (potatoes, onions, carrots, peas) - - but that's there style. - Chicken Empanada: ok, a bit salty for us. Enjoy!!!!!

Hello all and welcome to the 7th episode of Ass or Gas!…read more Today we went all the way to Long Island to try Caribeno. I've had this place one other time a while back. Let's get into it. To start off this is place is a small hole in the wall, that's how you know it's gonna be gas. I got empanadas and chicken and rice, and wow guys it was unbelievable. Tender chicken, flavorful rice, and crispy empanadas with juicy chicken! I also purchased a piece of their finest tres leches cake(three milk cake). The best cake I've ever had no exaggeration everyone. I could go on and on and so could my colleagues. In conclusion this is by far the best place Ass or Gas has ever been! This meal was...GAS‼

This food truck definitely exceeded my expectations. The pernil (pork shoulder) was moist and had a…read moresmoky BBQ flavor. The rice and beans was, as always, very satisfying. You get a choice of yellow or white rice. I highly recommend yellow. The beans are served over the rice and the bean juices add a ton of flavor and moisture to the rice. The beans are easily worth the extra $2. The Paradise Plate also comes with a little side salad of spinach, tomato and grated carrot with a vinaigrette dressing. The portion was enough to share between 2 people. We also got the sweet plantains. They were crispy on the edges and soft in the middle - exactly the way it should be. I HIGHLY recommend this food truck, especially if you haven't had Puerto Rican food!!

The mofongo was incredibly soft and flavorful; I honestly couldn't stop eating it. I also tried the birria tacos. The hot sauce was great, but the dipping sauce could use a bit more flavor. That said, I'll definitely be back for the mofongo dishes. It was that memorable I'm still thinking about it!

Tasty lunch to go!

Pair that with Edwin, our top notch server, and Emily, an amazingly welcoming manager, it was a great experience! I went with Edwin's recommendation of Pernil Asado as my main course, it was incredible. Emily sent over some coconut shrimp, served in a coconut style platter on skewers, also delicious. Everyone loved their drinks, their food, and the atmosphere. Such a clean and fun restaurant, the only problem is trying to choose which dish to go with. Bring friends so you can share!!!! Loved it, see you again soon!!!

Been here once before for a special occasion. Returned for Christmas Eve dinner. Had the skirt…read moresteak with rice and beans. Rice and beans were great! The skirt steak was better the first time I went. This time it was not as tender and it was rolled up vs the first time it was nicely cut and presented. My daughter's carne asada was the better choice because it was nicely sliced and a more tender cut of meat. The appetizers were really delicious, we had nachos, baked clams and calamari. The nachos are not on the menu but when we asked for it, they made it for us. For dessert the standout was their flan and chocolate lava cake. The place was a little chilly inside. Our water glasses were frequently refilled and service was very friendly.

My friends parked in nearby business' parking lot and luckily they didn't get towed. They always have great service and great food here! The margaritas are so good. This time around I got the passion fruit and my friend got the coconut one. We were heading to the movies after dinner so I couldn't have another drink, but I wish I had more than just one. Come during happy hour and they're 50% off! I'm a creature of habit, so since it's a Cuban restaurant, I always have to go with their staple dish: Ropa Vieja. I got it with white rice and black beans and I added a side of maduros, because what's ropa vieja without maduros? My friends got chuletas and the other chicharron de pollo. The chicharron de pollo was a let down, didn't think it would come out the way it did and it wasn't described well either. We tried the bunuelos for dessert, but we were so stuffed that we couldn't finish it. The receipt says Raul was our server, and if it was him, he was so hospitable, hilarious, and caring.

Overall great experience!…read more It was my first time visiting this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The ambience was very comforting. Good music very nice crowd. Awesome drinks! The alcapurria was not greasy at all! The Bistec Encebollado was done medium and actually came out flavorful and medium! Fresh onions, and the arroz con gondulez were not salty or hard. from the bottom of my heart, this was a very at home meal for the culture! I heard they do a karaoke night! I 100% will be back!
