"Since You've Been Gone" Sandwich - A Masterpiece!…read more If you're anywhere near Ashtabula and you haven't tried Fire! Chicken yet, you're missing out on a culinary experience that will absolutely change your life. I stopped in for their flash special, "Since You've Been Gone" ($14)--fried (or grilled) chicken, housemade deli roast beef, RB sauce, horseradish, and liquid cheddar--and I can't stop thinking about it. Pro tip: Add bacon. Trust me, it transforms this already mind-blowing sandwich into the best alternative to a turducken you'll ever find at a chicken shack. I paired mine with their fried pickles as a side, and it was the perfect complement to an already perfect meal. The magic is in the details. They nailed the ratios--nothing was overpowering, not even the horseradish, which is notoriously tricky to balance. Every sauce added to the sandwich's bold and unique flavor profile without competing for attention. And the textures? Unreal. Juicy chicken, crunchy breading, soft and warm bun--it was a symphony of flavors and textures in every bite. And those fried pickles? Game-changing. They brought just the right amount of tangy vinegar and a hint of garlic while doubling as the perfect mop for any extra sauce. Shoutout to the team: * Chicken Daddy? Playing 4d chess with this recipe. * The cook? Clearly working magic in the kitchen. * My waitress? On top of her game with quick refills and great service. This special gets a 10/10. Don't sleep on it. Get in here and treat yourself--you'll thank me later! What do you think? I'm just hoping next year we'll be able to look back on this as the first year of a new Yule-time tradition!

Extremely clean. They take much pride in cleanliness, that scored major points with me. El Turpial appears to be a mom-and-pop family-run restaurant, that has plenty of room for indoor dining, as well as a variety of to-go options. Wanting to come to support local businesses, I figured I'd give this a try. Plus the pictures of the food had my mouth watering The staff was friendly and helpful, and explained the menu to me. I had the chicken empanadas which were delicious. They had a tasty, slightly sweet taste on the outside, and on the inside the chicken was juicy, packed with flavor, and the melted cheese had an amazing savory, tangy flavor that practically melts in your mouth. I then indulged into the pastrami sandwich, which just smacked of deliciousness. Reminded me of something I could get in New York City. The bread had a great chew, firmness, and fresh baked taste. The pastrami was premium quality, and everything they put on it was perfect. And it was huge! I didn't want to eat too much, but I couldn't stop because it was so delicious! I love this place, and plan on returning next time I'm in Ashtabula to try some more Puerto Rican dishes! Wonderful!

This place has a lot of character! The wallpaper made me smile:). We ordered the calamari and pierogi appetizers and they were both very good. I ordered the Turkey sandwich and my husband had the steak sandwich. I enjoyed my Turkey sandwich and the fries were very good. My husband wound up eating half of my sandwich because the steak sandwich just was not good. There were spices on it that my husband and I just did not like, and the bread was hard to chew. Everything else was very good, so this sandwich was disappointing. Our server was friendly and took care of us despite the busyness of the festival. I'm glad we stopped here and if we're ever back in Ashtabula, we will try it again, but won't get the steak sandwich.
