One of the positives is they have their own parking lot, which makes it easier to visit in downtown Lancaster. The restaurant is set up in a cafeteria style where you can go through the line and see all the amazing food they have behind the glass to choose from. The employees will fill your plate/to-go container with the items you choose. They also do not skimp when filling your plate! I bet ours weighted a couple pounds! The large plate is only $17! On this first visit we stayed to the basics we know and love- yellow rice w/beans, roasted pork (pernil), sweet plantains, and a beef and cheese empanada. Everything was bursting with flavor and seasoned perfectly. The food we tried was the best we've had in PA! GSL is easy to get to off rt 30 and you can pre-order online for take-out. I highly recommend!

The staff is so welcoming and very helpful in helping you decide what to eat at each meal! The layout is perfect, go down the line and see what you want to make your meal how you want it.

The Camarón Salteado is my new favorite dish featuring Tostone cups filled with crunchy cooked peppers & onions topped with a nice size shrimp (extra shrimp were added in a small bowl on the serving platter). The Bistec Encebollado featured tender steak with a huge side of rice and beans. We finished with the homemade flan - delicioso! Of course we had left overs and even ordered Empanadas to go. The food is of such high quality that when reheated properly it tasted as fresh as when first served. We can't wait to return to this island themed restaurant. The staff are very friendly. The facility is absolutely spotless.

I grabbed it…read moreto go because I was in a rush to head back home to try to make some beautiful music for everybody to dance to. Now, me being the true man that I am--with hair on my chest, a deep voice, and amazing muscles, can't forget about the skin of bronze--well, just like any man, I love a good sandwich. I got that Cuban sandwich this time, and I would never regret it. The layered meat with the cheese on top was to perfection. The outside of the bread had a crisp crunch, but yet it was soft on the inside. It wasn't too much meat, and it wasn't too much cheese; it was a perfect blend. Then, there was a special sauce--this sauce that they gave me along with the fries. I've had a lot of sauces over the years, and this was the best sauce I've ever had. And I've had a lot of sauces, and I know a lot of sauces, and all the sauces know me as well. I finished it off, of course, with a bottle of cola, because one day I hope to be like Warren Buffett and drink cola every day and hopefully become a billionaire. But until then, I will be constantly eating at this restaurant day in and day out. And of course, my next thing to try is the coffee, because I've noticed they had a beautiful coffee maker right behind the counter. I hope my review helps make your decision on whether you want to eat here or not. Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

Owner Melissa is super sweet. Oh, and they have homemade picante (hot sauce) can't wait to try it. Will definitely go back later. They have a nice menu and outdoor seating.

5 Stars - Something Truly Special…read more This place is something special. A friend of mine told me about it -- and he is not easy to impress when it comes to restaurants. He's usually the guy who finds something to critique. So when he described this place as "incredible," "authentic," "unbelievable," and "special," I honestly couldn't believe how highly he was praising it. Then I went. I was absolutely blown away. From the moment I walked in, the energy felt warm and welcoming. The service wasn't just good -- it was genuine. The staff treated me like family. They kept bringing out dishes for me to try, excited to share their food. I didn't even pay for some of it -- and I actually insisted on paying because it was just too good not to. (And yes... I wanted more.) The food? Incredible. Authentic Honduran cooking that completely won me over. I'm from New York City, where you're spoiled with diversity and world-class restaurants on every corner. Lancaster has some solid spots, but this? This competes with -- and honestly beats -- many places I've had in NYC. I genuinely couldn't believe it. The atmosphere was festive, vibrant, and full of heart. You can tell this isn't just a business -- it's pride, culture, and passion on a plate. Give this place your money. They deserve every cent. The servers are top-notch, the food is unforgettable, and the experience feels personal. They've earned a loyal customer. I'll be back -- many times.

There was a bright cilantro sauce, a spicy one that was pleasantly mild, and a mayo-ketchup blend that rounded things out nicely. The tacos were delicious and packed with flavor. They were also full tacos-they weren't stingy with the meat! Service was a standout too! Our waiter was warm and attentive throughout. We were excited to try the horchata, but they'd sold out by the time we ordered. I think it would be worth asking about early if you're set on trying it. The space itself is open and inviting, with a mix of bar seating and high-top tables. The food also came out pretty quickly.
