I grabbed it…read moreto go because I was in a rush to head back home to try to make some beautiful music for everybody to dance to. Now, me being the true man that I am--with hair on my chest, a deep voice, and amazing muscles, can't forget about the skin of bronze--well, just like any man, I love a good sandwich. I got that Cuban sandwich this time, and I would never regret it. The layered meat with the cheese on top was to perfection. The outside of the bread had a crisp crunch, but yet it was soft on the inside. It wasn't too much meat, and it wasn't too much cheese; it was a perfect blend. Then, there was a special sauce--this sauce that they gave me along with the fries. I've had a lot of sauces over the years, and this was the best sauce I've ever had. And I've had a lot of sauces, and I know a lot of sauces, and all the sauces know me as well. I finished it off, of course, with a bottle of cola, because one day I hope to be like Warren Buffett and drink cola every day and hopefully become a billionaire. But until then, I will be constantly eating at this restaurant day in and day out. And of course, my next thing to try is the coffee, because I've noticed they had a beautiful coffee maker right behind the counter. I hope my review helps make your decision on whether you want to eat here or not. Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

What makes it even better is that this is truly a family affair. Mom and Dad are working the grill while the kids help take care of everything else. You can tell there is a lot of pride, hard work, and love going into what they serve. The food was fresh, flavorful, authentic, and simply delicious. This isn't a fancy chain or some overhyped restaurant--it's the kind of small, family-run place you hope to stumble across and then can't wait to tell other people about. Places like this are what make exploring local restaurants so much fun. Great food, great people, and a genuine family atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Truly a gem, and we will absolutely be back!

The Camarón Salteado is my new favorite dish featuring Tostone cups filled with crunchy cooked peppers & onions topped with a nice size shrimp (extra shrimp were added in a small bowl on the serving platter).

The food is of such high quality that when reheated properly it tasted as fresh as when first served. We can't wait to return to this island themed restaurant. The staff are very friendly. The facility is absolutely spotless.

First off LOVE the domino's setup inside the restaurant. Great cultural references to Puerto Rican and Dominican Culture. Menu is pretty extensive with tons of traditional dishes such as mofongo, tostones, pernil, rice and beans, pollo guisada, carne guisada, etc. We did the Lancaster Restaurant Meal Deal. 3 course for $29 dollars. Now don't get me wrong food was EXCELLENT. But 29 dollars was a little steep compared to other Puerto Rican and Dominican Cuisine restaurants in the Lancaster, York, Lebanon Areas! We got Tostones (garlic sauce was AMAZING!) typically tostones are served with mayoketchup (they have their own version of mayoketchup which was good as well!). The second course was their Pernil, Yellow Rice and side of beans. Also a fantastic dish. The Pernil was not fatty at all and had a great marinated flavor! The smoothie was the 3rd course. Morir Soñando. Think of an Orange juice smoothie/milkshake. Not orange creamsicle. I could drink one of these everyday! Very good would like to go back for the mofongo!

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!
