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. :)

The beef and cheese empanada was my only complaint; although it's beef and cheese, I felt like it didn't have any cheese. But everything else was top-tier, and the portion sizes were on point. I spent 25 dollars for everything, and aside from the empanada, everything was worth every penny.

The payment was processed through GrubHub with no delivery fee since I picked it up myself! The location was easy to find. There's a huge, gorgeous mural on the side of the building. I wasn't quite sure where I "could" park, but there is no shortage of parking in the area, to include two lots on each side. Walking in was a little confusing too. Could be because we used the App to order, maybe they thought we were pros. We weren't greeted when we came in and we didn't really know what to do. We asked the people sitting at the bar about an order and they pointed to a bag on the table. That was a little confusing too because the App said the order wasn't ready and no one was really talking so we were a lil unsure and it was a lotta awkward. They lost a star for that. No worries though. We got home. It was our order. It was delicious. It was at a great price!! I will definitely be going back! Did I mention their potato balls are to die for? Seriously, you'll want to try them.

Now, as a Pennsylvanian, you normally run into people who say, "Oh, I hate this hot weather," and then in the winter, they say, "Oh, I hate this cold weather," as if they haven't lived in PA their entire lives! But doing all this hard work to prepare for the wintertime here in PA worked up an appetite, so I decided to head down to Rice & Beans in Harrisburg. As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed by decor that teleports you right into the heart of the Dominican Republic. The staff is very friendly, the bathrooms are super clean, and so is the rest of the establishment. Parking is a little tight, but the indoor seating makes up for it. Rice & Beans Restaurant Now let's get to the best part: the food! You're able to see everything before you order, which is great. This time, I got myself some rice and beans, of course, along with some bistec. The rice and beans were a little dry at first, but the more I ate, the better they got! I paired my meal with a cola. Although I didn't get dessert, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the wonderful food. I would definitely go back and eat here again because I like seeing what I'm getting--it makes it super easy to pick out what I want, especially if your taste buds aren't super adventurous. I hope my review helps you figure out where to eat next. Feel free to check out my YouTube channel (@brandenleebutler) for more reviews!

We rolled in without one but happily claimed a little café table outside. The weather was warm, the cocktails were cold, and our waitress checked in often enough that our glasses never sat empty for long. We kicked things off with the beef empanadas ($9 for two big ones) and -- oh my goodness -- these were dream-level empanadas. Golden-brown, fried crisp on the outside yet soft and tender inside, stuffed with simply seasoned, flavorful ground beef. The tangy-sweet red sauce they came with was the perfect co-star. I'd come back for these alone. Cocktails ran about $12 each. I had the Havana Special (fresh pineapple juice, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, and Cruzan Rum) -- tropical, bright, and just sweet enough. My adventure buddy ordered the Canchanchara (honey, lime, rum, and chilled water -- said to be Cuba's oldest cocktail), which was refreshing and citrusy, perfect for a summer night. For dinner, I went for the Camarones Enchilados ($27) -- Cuban-style shrimp in Creole sauce with white rice and sweet fried plantains. Generous serving of perfectly cooked shrimp in a savory tomato-based sauce with diced peppers, onion, and garlic... I brought half home, but not before finishing every last plantain. The sauce was light but packed with flavor, and the rice soaked it up like a champ. Adventure buddy ordered the Cuban Fried Rice ($25) -- shrimp, ham, chicken, and sweet plantain all fried together, topped with an egg. The rice had that crispy-but-soft magic, the proteins were tender and flavorful, and while he wished the egg had been runny, it was still well-executed. Another giant portion, another take-home box. Our bill for two was about $100, and every dollar felt well spent. Los Tres Cubanos is tucked just outside the hustle of downtown, which makes it easy to miss -- but don't. Between the authentic flavors, generous portions, and charming atmosphere, it's worth seeking out. And bonus: you can stroll the nearby Susquehanna River Walk afterward to justify ordering that second empanada next time.

I had the oxtail with rice and plantains and it was great, really great! The food was cooked perfectly and served in a very timely manner. There was really no waiters and waitresses, we was kinda on our own with finding a menu (besides the all pictures one on the tables) and ordering but it was a very comfortable experience. I personally felt at home almost. The lady behind the counter was very nice approachable with a smile that can light up the room. And for the price you pay for a plate, you get a mountain of food on your plate. I paid $12.00 for my plate of rice, oxtails and plantains which was well worth it. They serve so much that you have to take half the plate home with you in a clamshell box. Go for it!!!
