It's been a while since I visited York. I was looking forward to trying Mi Caldero, a fantastic…read morePuerto Rican restaurant I'd visited on a couple of occasions. Sadly they were closed (permanently?!). I'll always have the memories. But, like they say, when one door closes another one opens. El Castro reasonably satisfied my craving for Latin food. I had the cubed steak with yellow rice and beans. It's a solid 7/10 flavor wise. I did notice that they really load up on the rice so perhaps you won't notice that they're going easy on the protein. It took a good while longer than the 10 minutes I was quoted for the food to come out even though it wasn't especially busy. Nevertheless, it's a solid choice if you are craving Latin food. It's no Mi Caldero but you could do worse.

For it being kind of hidden beside the laundry mat, I was unsure at first but their place is very clean and organized inside as well. We ordered food online via DoorDash, and when we picked up in store it seemed as though DoorDash made a mistake with the order..without question the staff remade our FULL ORDER and even gave us a bowl with rice, beans, pork aka all the goods while we waited for our food! It's something that stuck with us and we will for sure be back again to support!

My uncle used to be a resident in the Lancaster area, so I went to a place called Prince of Subs, which is known for their chicken wings and, of course, their subs--that's why it's in their name! When I arrived at Prince of Subs it was 11:30 PM at night and I asked for an order of 6 wings, but the guy said, "Let me check." I was surprised because it's a bar and they close at 1:30 in the morning, and of course, greasy food is the best thing to eat when you're drinking. Well, luckily they had six wings left. I asked for some fries and he said they ran out of fries. Me personally, I love some wings and fries. Can't forget about fish and chips, but that's more of a Dublin thing! I don't understand how a chicken spot bar that closes at 1:30 AM doesn't have fries ready, but that's just a story for another day. Because of that, I had to go to a second spot on my way to work. It was a food truck on the side of the road. It had lights so you could still see it, but it was kind of hidden. Come to find out, it's a hidden gem! I got some Dominican loaded fries which had shredded chicken, a bunch of different sauces, some peppers, and of course, fries. I was glad that I made this stop, but I pulled out my cash and I only had a $100 bill on me because it was Friday, it was payday, and I had cashed my check. The guy didn't have change, and so all I had was nine dollars in my pocket besides that one bill. I told him I would come back tomorrow evening. He had a surprised look on his face, but I said, "I work right down the road and I promise you I'll be back before I start work." He trusted me. I gave him my nine dollars and he said okay and gave me my food. As I walked away, it gave me a little bit more faith in humanity. It's amazing how someone that never even knew me, and never saw me before, actually trusted me to come back and give them cash to pay for my food. I did go there the next day and it was a warm welcome, of course. I paid him what I owed him with a little bit extra, only because he had faith in me coming back. I highly recommend this place! Being a truck driver, you always find good food spots along the road, and sometimes you find out if the food is really good or bad while you're going down the road, if you catch my drift. This place is very good; the food settled very well and I definitely give it a hard 4.5 out of 5, only because you cannot see the truck from the road. I hope my review helps you make your decision onto whether you want to eat at this location or not. I hope a college student sees this review as well, because it is right around the corner from Thaddeus Stevens! Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

The Dominican burger, as it's called, was just enough to whet my appetite ( no sides needed ), and I wouldn't ask the chef to change a thing. The ratio of bread to meat to sauce was properly balanced. I appreciate that he used thinly shredded red onions and lettuce in the sauce. Muy muy bueno! I have to admit that I was bugging out a little when I realized that the food truck is diagonal to the Lancaster County prison. I wasn't aware of that beforehand because I wasn't familiar with the area, and I didn't think about making a preorder for pickup. I was just trying to find some highly rated ethnic food on Yelp and just happened to stumble upon this listing. I was out there waiting for my food at 11pm for like 20 minutes. I wasn't scared or threatened... it was just a tad weird. the whole time I sat out in the park across the street from the cart I kept looking over my shoulder. The neighborhood Papi's were out there in full effect getting their late night grub. I also wished that the prices were listed on the menu. Someone posted a picture of the menu 4 years ago and chimis costed $5 each back then, but I paid $10 per Chimi. That's a helluva markup over a short span of time. On the bright side they do take cards unlike some other food trucks.

She was more than eager to sway from the typical breakfast joints, and I'd had a hankering for Mangu con Los Tres Golpes, so I turned to Yelp for advice. I've wanted to visit this spot for a bit now, so I was happy to find it was on the menu! I locked my bike up to a pole out front, and luckily the window granted clear view, so I could keep an eye the entire meal. (No matter where I'm at my anxiety is always a bit high when I can't see her ) I was pleasantly surprised upon entering the establishment. It's just an open square with a very clean feel and plenty of chairs and tables. The waitress welcomed us immediately to the front counter, and I ordered for my friend and I since she wasn't accustomed to the cuisine. But she is very happy to know about it's existence now. And for the remainder of the meal our waitress was extremely attentive and helpful. She even offered a bag for my to go container when she realized I was putting it in my backpack for the ride home. Yay for no greasy leaks. I'm a proud Italian, but Dominican salami might be a little higher in my preferences. (Don't tell my PopPop). I obviously don't know exactly good from bad Dominican food, but I absolutely loved the texture of the mangu, the fried cheese, and the salami! The egg was cooked perfectly as well. For $8 you can't beat the portions. It's definitely on the greasier side (considering the butter and the frying aspect), but after leg day and a bike ride over, it's well worth it. Psh worth it even without the exercise! I (and I'm sure my friend) will definitely be back soon. Also they have free parking out back! The only negative I guess would be that our circular table swiveled around.. but I'm like 7, so I kind of enjoyed it.

Unfortunately the one waitress was busy with tables during pick up so I can't say much about customer service. The most concerning thing is the quality of the food. I will attach my order and photos for reference but what is being advertised is not what I received. I was able to get a refund from the platform I used for pick up but I hope this is something the kitchen at this business can be more mindful of. I was excited about this place but it wasn't edible.
