    Seco de chivo
    Carla O.

    This place has some of the best Ecuadorian food I've had . The place gets packed on weekends so come with time. There's live music on weekends too. I ordered the ceviche de camaron and seco de chivo, both are big plates and large portions- incredible! The service is also quick and good. I love coming here !

    The fees !

    Food was exceptional! Nice Ecuadorian decor! Go look at the video on my foodie page that I posted on TikTok/IG: zoetoldme https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAGu5jxvX3t/?igsh=MTI0cXV3YzA1NDl2OA== The only thing I didn't like was how many fees. The service fee was huge, also note that tip is already included, which is nice for the server. But if you're on a budget keep in mind how much they tax and add on in their fees towards the end!! I'd definitely recommend La Bolon!! only street parking

    After a long day of running errands + knowing we would get home late, we definitely were going to…read morebe in no mood to cook anything. I found Rinconcito Latino, which would be along the route home, so we ordered via Seamless for pickup, one Saturday evening. The quoted pickup time was 10-20 minutes but I still had to wait an additional 10 minutes after that. But no big deal, it was prime time on a Saturday night, after all. To start, hubby and I split a chorizo empanada. I enjoyed this but feel like it could have been served with some kind of sauce. We ended up making our own chipotle mayo sauce to go with it, which paired perfectly. For my main, I had the Jibarito Sandwich (instead of bread, it's a sandwich with two pieces of plantains with your choice of meat in the middle with lettuce, tomato, onion and house signature sauce). I went with the al pastor since it's not something I can easily make at home. The meat itself was more like sliced pork chop than it was al pastor. It was a little bit dry but the flavor was good. Overall, I enjoyed my sandwich. The plantains were a nice update from regular bread. The sandwich was also served with fries, which were soaked with oil but I ate them anyway. He had the Fried Pork Chunks, which comes with rice and beans, which was pretty good. But, I do wish there was an option of yellow rice rather than just white rice - but not a deal breaker. The portions are pretty big, and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day. If you're craving Latin food and find yourself in the area, Rinconcito Latino is a great option.

    This is not the first time I've ordered lunch from here. I placed my grubhub order at 11:40am -…read moredelivery was on time. But damn!! the food was horrible. Now I realize just like the last time, I got last nights leftovers heated up. I have never been served white rice that was this mushy and WET, totally inedible, and disgusting! If I were dining in, I highly doubt they would dare serve this to me or anyone else. The baked chicken, DRYYY and definitely not fresh. I felt so disrespected, you wouldn't serve that to your pet! Again, not my first time but definitely my LAST!!

I also had a cheese empanada for $3 that was great too, but I forgot to take a picture of it. Will definitely be ordering from here again!

    Latin Soul is a neighborhood staple that opened pre-Pandemic so it's been around a while now. When…read moreyou walk in, a giant mural on one wall greets you. To the left is a long counter/steam table behind glass. To the right is seating. Beyond the cashier is where desserts and drinks are stored. There is a rest room in the back. This is a relatively nice set up but it is also no frills. This space has clearly had several other identities over the years. My go to dish is rice with peas and pernil. I will also add in a side order of maduros. The rice is always delicious and perfectly cooked. The pernail is cut fresh to order as it sits in a steam table tray of its own juices. The crispy skin sits on top and they cut pieces for you with your order. Be sure to ask them to scoop some gravy onto your meat and rice! The pernil is perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, not under-seasoned and it has a great texture. It is never dry or chewy (in my experience anyway). The maduros vary visit to visit. Sometimes they are perfectly cooked and sweet, other times they are a bit too soggy. Just eyeball them before you order. While pernil is my "go to" dish, I have also had their turkey in the past. Turkey is hard to keep moist, even if it's sitting in a steam table tray of broth. I will say this, if you get it fairly fresh the turkey is tender and has great flavor. Again, eyeball it before ordering. There is staff turnover at Latin Soul, so my experience with the person serving me has ranged over the years. Years ago there was one person who was super nice and friendly. Then for a while a different person took over who seemed often eager for me to leave. More recently however the staff has been very nice and friendly. Your mileage will vary. Latin Soul is great. It's one of my favorite places to go on this stretch of Elmora. Definitely give them a shot!

The staff was friendly and offered great suggestions. Although it was very busy on Saturday afternoon, I was happy to find a few seats available with the background music at the perfect, conversational volume. I only came in to order coffee, but seeing all those delicious pastries and baked goods made me almost change my mind. There were several winter specials available, so I decided to try the dulce de leche latte. I really enjoyed it since it was bold and strong, but had a smooth, sweet finish. There were many tasty-sounding latte choices such as horchata, tiramisu, and the golden palms latte, which is made of turmeric. I look forward to trying one of those the next time that I return.

I ordered three fried empanadas (two chicken and one beef). they were okay - the crust is a bit different than I'm used to, but maybe the empanadas I typically have are baked. Also seemed to be more potato than meat in the beef one. The Americano coffee is awful. It gives mostly hot water with a hint of coffee flavor. I tossed it and didn't complain. Granted it's a cafe and not a coffee shop, but it's coffee! They have a plethora of other drinks that may be worth trying, but i will never order coffee here again. The decor inside is nice Also note, this is mostly a beverage and snack place. Very little food on the menu.
