There is a lot of great Puerto Rican food in Vineland. Downtown was one of the top rated, and boy…read morewas it packed on a Sunday when I visited. Everyone is wearing masks and keeping safe and sanitary with COVID. They have tape marks on the floor, and customers were courteous to mind distance in line, etc. There were a lot of people stopping in for food at dinner time on a Sunday when I was there. They move the line somewhat quickly, but there was still a wait. Many people called ahead to order, but even those who did, ended up having to hang around a bit for their food. I was there over 20 minutes as a walk-in. The staff is friendly, but as others have mentioned, if you don't speak Spanish, there is a language barrier. I was there so long, though, that I observed that if they recognize you as a regular, they are more at ease about the language barrier because they memorize what their customers usually get, and it's easier to serve up what people want. So this tells me any complaints about language differences have more to do with the staff really wanting to please people, and just being nervous that they may not be able to get the order just as a customer wants it. For me, I have some Spanish skills, but I am not familiar enough with PR cuisine to know all these vocab words for food I can't even explain in English, so I didn't even try my Spanish until I got to the register, because I couldn't formulate a sentence around all the great looking foods to which I was totally ignorant. I always make fun of those laminated street sign menus that show pictures of food with prices... yeah, I understand why they make those. (They're still tacky though.) Anyway, I need to brush up on my PR food vocab, and maybe I'll get access to the delicacies they have to offer here! TIP: It definitely did help when I googled this place's FB photos and showed them what I wanted. They had big smiles of relief when they could know exactly what I wanted. They so want to please people here, you just have to calm down and be creative about communication. For my visit, they didn't have mofongo out in the case but when I asked for it, she made a special batch for me, which is totally a fifth star!!!! You pay at the front, and each takeout container is labeled so the cashier can tally it. This is a convenience store and takeout foods kitchen. There is also an eating area in front, with quite a few tables, and a view out the front window.

Always a good spot to stop at when I m in Vineland. Food never disappoints. Good amount of people…read morein there waiting to serve you. It's a nice size convenience store, nothing more I can say. I will be back

My daughter treated me for early Mother's Day. This was my first time there and it was a great…read moreexperience. Our server was wonderful. Our food came out within a reasonable amount of time and it was freshly prepared. Everything I had was so delicious, I certainly have to go back to try some other things. My daughter and I started with a pitcher of red sangria which was the best I've ever had. Our food was Gambas Al Ajillo (sautéed shrimp), Ragut de Setas (sautéed mushrooms) and a board (I don't remember the name) which contained fried cheese, chicken strips, fried pork chunks, empanadas and more. We had plenty to take home! The atmosphere was nice. I really liked the booths.

I want to start by saying the food is delicious and the service is very good. But the reason I gave…read morethree stars is for the credit card fee. Normally I give restaurants one star who pass business fees onto their customers but please read on ......We've been dining here since they first opened, and it's the only Spanish restaurant in the area. The food is consistently good, and I love the small plates, and the uniqueness of the menu. It's the kind of food and dining experience I can't find anywhere else locally. Over the years, we've enjoyed their various dishes as well as their selection of unique Spanish wines, although they are a bit pricey. The service is always good, and we've consistently left feeling satisfied. However, on our most recent visit, I noticed a 3% credit card surcharge on the menu. After years of loyal patronage, it's disappointing and insulting to see this added charge. When you're already tipping over 20% and purchasing expensive bottles of wine, adding another 3% just to pay by credit card feels excessive. I really wish this practice would be made illegal. Restaurants are already charging customers for their food and drinks, and we're contributing to their operating costs through our purchases and tips. At this rate, between the meal prices, generous tips, and added fees, we must be silent partners in half the restaurants around here! Please stop charging this fee for the love of God. I would give you five stars but I cannot give a business five stars who pass their business/admin fees on to customers, especially after so many years of eating here. What a disappointment.

What's not to like in this unpretentious Columbian restaurant that serves food with superb quality,…read morebreads and pastries that are mouth-watering, and service was impeccable. Our lady server was so personable and always answered our questions with a big smile. We met the owner who was as friendly as his staff! Excellent service is always a plus! The food was well-cooked down to its bananas and arepas! This restaurant is highly recommended and they close at 10 pm most days, so if you're still out and about at a later time, this is definitely a good place to get some delicious food! Order the platters! It's like getting the best of the varieties. Get the ham and cheese roll or the buñuelos and the pastrSo good!

First time at a Colombian restaurant with a couple friends who like to explore a different foods…read more We tried empanadas, chorizo, and then got a large meat platter, which had steak, chicken, pork and chorizo along with french fries and baked ground potatoes, it was four people, and the three of us could not finish it, and would feed5. Overall, the food was OK, the presentation of the fish at another table looked very nice, but the style of food is not really seasoned and so it's a relatively non-gastronomic meal but you leave feeling full. Maybe I expected more because I like Mexican and Thai food, but went into it with an open mind. It was clear that a lot of local Latinas went there, and that is a good sign that it fits the cultural expectation. So if you are Latina and know what to expect it is a good restaurant to try
