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.

Monfongo, bifongo, trifongo . . . Since it was our first time in, we tried a lot of different items. The Monfongo with chicharones de pollo was excellent. The pastillilo de carne was good. The papas locas (with carne) was really good. It was so big, we couldn't finish it. We ordered it for an appetizer but it really could be an entree. The arroz con gondules was good. It could have had a little more flavor, but it was fine. I ordered a side of the trifongo since only the monfongo came with the entrees. I really liked their trifongo. Hubby got the pina colada frappe and it was very good, very fresh. Definitely a good place to visit. Street parking. Service was a little scattered and it took a lot longer for our food than expected. Lots of families and lots of people taking out, in addition to almost packed tables. Go, enjoy the Boricua food and feel like you're on an island. :)

I also got two empanadas: one pizza, one beef, and cheese--those were a major hit, 5/5! I will be going back in the future to try all the other options they have because there's a lot to try

They have tons of options from baked chicken, fried chicken, empanadas, pernil, stews, etc.. I ordered the pernil and it came with arroz con gondules, plantains, and cabbage.

Situated in Spring City, conveniently off the Schuylkill River Trail, The Latin Corner is accessible by foot, by bike, and by car. You have no excuse not to visit! This place is like a warm blanket. Comforting, homey, and incredibly delicious, I don't think you can go wrong with your order here. Everything is handmade with love by the owners, who are so kind and welcoming that I was tempted to spend the entire day here. If you're ever in the area and need a hearty meal- don't sleep on The Latin Corner!

The food was flavorful. I got the goat, and morcilla (blood sausage) and my partner got the beef, platanos, and yuca. His beef was fall-off-the-bone tender, platinum, and yuca was great. My goat was a bit chewy, and morcilla a bit dry, but still very tasty. I'd definitely come back to try their other à la carte dishes. There are so many choices even if I went back every day for lunch for a week, I still would not be able to sample all that they offer. I couldn't take a pic of my partner's plate as it was so good he inhaled all of it, I barely got any, and that's how you know his plate was amazing!!
