Che! Empanada: A Love Letter and a Warning ​Rating:…read more ​I went in for a "light snack" and left with enough empanadas to fuel a small army. ​The Crust: Flakier than my last three exes combined. Absolutely buttery perfection. ​The Fillings: The Beef Classic is a life-changer, and the Spicy Chicken has just the right amount of attitude. ​The Chimichurri: I'm 90% sure this sauce is liquid gold. I'd drink it out of a literal boot if I had to. ​Verdict: My waistline says "stop," but my soul says "get the Nutella dessert one for the road." 10/10 would ruin my diet here again.

We tried cafe Reyes for breakfast and we were not disappointed. You walk in to a quaint restaurant…read morethat is decorated in bright island colors. The staff is very welcoming and helpful when choosing from the menu. We started with coffee made with condensed milk. It was creamy and lightly sweet. It was very smooth and enjoyable. It took a little while to come out and wasn't super hot but it was a nice cup of coffee. Next we tried the chorizo empanada. It was very crisp and flavorful although a little greasy from the sausage. Still a nice bite. Yuca fries were up next. I dislike yuca and was hesitant to try it but I did and it didn't disappoint. It came with a garlic aioli and topped with onions and possibly a vinegar sauce. They were so delicious. Crisp outside and soft inside. Defiantly something to try. Finally we shared the breakfast Cuban. Piled up with ham, pork, egg and cheese with mayo and mustard. It was delicious. Mild and a little Smokey. It was great. We would definitely return to see what other treasures we can find. Overall we would highly recommend Cafe Reyes.

I really wanted to like Sabrosa but unfortunately I found it overall to be pretty disappointing…read more We stopped in today for a quick bite before checking out the Crompton Collective. I like to try a variety of food and decided to try this place. I want to make it abundantly clear that this three star review has NOTHING to do with the service. The young man who cashed us out was incredibly kind, understanding, and explained every aspect of the food. He even offered to let us try a free empanada. Their service was 5 stars worthy. The food was not. I had the bowl and my significant other had the chicken arepa. He said the arepa itself taste good but was small for the price. My bowl was just okay. The rice was bland with some hard pieces, plantains were mushy, and the beef was a little stringy and I felt it was pretty bland as well. The black beans were the best thing in the bowl. My dish was warm at best. I'm disappointed to write such a low review because I wanted to like Sabrosa but ultimately I should have tried any of the other dozen options for lunch in the market.

First, any place I can get good chicharron is a winner…read more A slightly cafeteria style Latin eatery. No frills, just really good food at a very fair price. I suggest going slightly before or after lunch peak to get in and out faster. I also suggest getting it to go since seating is limited. The service has always been friendly and as quick as they can be. Speaking some Spanish can make the interaction go faster. This is some of the most comforting comfort food around.

On the dicey corner of Main and Charlton streets in Worcester is one of the best restaurants I have…read moreever eaten at. I started going there about 10 years ago, moved away, and returned recently. It doesn't bother me much to go down there but it is unquestionably in one of the tougher parts of the city. The place is very small and very clean. There is probably room for 20 at the few tables. Parking is out front or on the corner. The food is in a large steam table and you can view it, decide what you want, and either sit or get it to go. It is pretty standard, rice accompanied by a meat and essentially sides. I am pretty sure you can get as much food as you want and they will just charge you accordingly. a feast can be had for under $7.50. To the food....Not being Puerto Rican I will do my best to describe each dish they have and compare it to what I know authentic should taste like. Arroz con Gondules, yellow rice with pigeon beans is my favorite. Their yellow rice varies from day to day. Sometimes plain yellow, sometimes with pinto beans. You can get white rice as well and always request a side of beans to eat with your rice. I am not sure if they use alcaparrado (olive caper salad) in their rice but it is very very good. The main dishes change daily but many things they have every day. There is chicken, beef, ribs, pork chops, sometimes pernil (pork shoulder), maybe an ox tail dish?, plantains, salads, etc. I sometimes see Pegao on a plate. Pegao is the crispy tasty treat that comes from the bottom of the rice pot. I have never had it there but I have seen it. They also have spicy and mild Pastelon? which are meat filled pies, similar to an empenada. I like the spicy myself. I also see alcapurrias? which I think are taro or rice balls filled with meat. Make sure that with whatever dish you choose that you request plenty of the sauce. That is where all the love is. You have more than a few options for Puerto Rican Food in Worcester but my choice is Spanish Grill.

Oh man. I want to cry! This food is SO good! The Pernil Asado / Roasted Pork was so moist and…read moretender that it nearly melted in my mouth! It came with a side of yellow rice, which reminded me of my grandmother's. And lastly- the relleno de Papa / Stuffed potato was, hands down, the best of had. It was seasoned to perfection and held its crisp even on an 11 mile DoorDash journey. I couldn't believe how they managed to keep the potatoes so creamy! It was almost like a layer of mashed potatoes in between. I'll definitely be ordering again.

I had the mangu with a fried egg, fried cheese, and salami. I also ordered the pernil plate with yellow rice, which came with some nice crispy pieces. The Beef empanada is one of the best I've ever had. Last but not least, the kidney beans. It's definitely a place I'll be returning to in the future, prices reasonable, all-around some great Dominican food.

This place is just so good! The food is always very flavorful and never overly salty like some…read moreother similar places. They have about 4 booth style tables, so it is more of a grab and go style. They are also now on DoorDash. The inside is very clean! The staff are always helpful and most speak both English and Spanish. My go-to is always the pernil with arroz con gondules and potato salad. They always have fried appetizer style foods available too. They charge extra to use a credit card now so pay cash when you go.

The $3 tiny "cheese" empanada had clearly been sitting all day. There was a tiny piece of dried up cheese inside the mostly hollow, chewy, stale empanada.

Same with the chocolate cake...it had potential but was dry and stale tasting. Disappointed overall, especially for how much I paid.

Food is adventurous & bold; memorable meals over the years: Fried Goat cheese with charcuterie meats, manchego cheese & french bread, have to do The Bocado Experience for 2 or 4, Jamon Iberico, Pato (duck pastrami w sherry glaze), tuna poke, atun de bocado (seared yellowfin saku tuna), braised pork belly, Spanish octopus, mussels in cream sc, twin mini Kobe style beef burgers, venison, fried calamari, lollipop lamb chops, seared beef tenderloin, classic paella & Paella de Mariscos, & baked flan for dessert. Just so fascinating - their chefs can put out such tasty small plates so quickly, each packed with such fresh & exciting flavors, always cooked to perfection (never over or under cooked). Get the sangria pitchers, bar is always packed & hopping. Dining room just got a refresh, but was beautiful even before with a great atmosphere also. Our least favorite was the rabbit (way too many small bones to pick out).

The ambiance was cozy and inviting, though our table was in the middle of the aisle which felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, the service itself was inconsistent. We had to ask for bread three times. When we ordered two brownies and one coffee, we were brought one brownie and two coffees. At the end of the meal, we asked for both my meal and my son's meal to be wrapped to go. My son's plate was accidentally thrown away because other plates were stacked on top of it. When I asked about it, the server explained what happened but did not offer to remake it, remove it from the bill, or apologize, which was disappointing. That said, it was a busy Friday during Restaurant Week, so I would consider coming back and hope the service is smoother next time. While writing this review, I actually received a text from the restaurant letting me know we left our son's plate behind, which was thoughtful and appreciated. If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give 3.5.

He seated us at a booth and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. The bartender was our server and he was very hospitable. My husband drank Sam Adams beer (for only $5. a bottle) and I had Mai Tais (for only $8. each!!!). We ordered a pupu platter for 2, beef lo mein and fried potstickers. The potstickers were absolutely amazing!!! The pupu was very good...especially the egg rolls and crab rangoons. We didn't particularly care for the was the spare ribs and teriyaki was prepared ( they had sauce on them). We really enjoyed our meal and time here and will definitely come again. And when we got up to leave the owner made us sit back down again and made us mai tais on the house!
