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.

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.

Service was excellent. I sometimes say "I wish I could bring this place back with me", but this time I mean it more than ever. Tastes like family. Love it.

Edgard ( I think I spelled that correctly) is still in the kitchen working his magic! Friends ordered the chicken tacos and shrimp tacos. Served in warm, soft flour tortillas, they are always a hit. DH ordered a smash burger which he said was good, but needed a bit more seasoning. I was I. Heaven with the delish marinated roasted chicken. Someone asked me what it is marinated in; my answer was: it's marinated in deliciousness! True! Served with choices of sides, my chicken came with a salad ( always fresh ) and plantains. So delicious and such a great portion! I remember when the owner talked about expanding and opening another place and I am so happy he is getting rewarded for his hard work. If you haven't been to Rocoto, do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and get there soon!

Here's the issue, the machine said there was no more chicken for the day. I'd driven about 40 minutes to get this chicken and for there to be no more, I was kinda irritated. Someone behind the counter heard me and went through a whole explanation of how the system doesn't recognize that they hold some chicken back from the system so they don't run out because it takes a long time to cook. So, I was able to get the chicken but I was now in a bad mood. We ordered a lot of food! chicken and fried rice, a side salad, lomo saltado, It wasn't bad, but it didn't blow my mind either. My chicken was really overcooked, likely from being made and held. There was only one sauce offered with the chicken. A yellow sauce that was very mayonnaisey. Everything was served on paper plates and boats. They only had plastic cutlery. I got the vibe that even though there is seating, this is a takeout joint.

Note that if you aren't familiar with the location, you might miss it as there's no major signs from the road. But it's inside the same complex of a lightbulb store and hair salon, with plenty of parking! Though a small restaurant front, it's kept very clean with a humble but inviting ambiance. Food is almost served cafeteria style for their staples: arroz con guandules, pernil, carnitas, plantains, etc. Their deep fried foods (e.g. empanadas, yuca frita, etc) are in a little heater fridge. I've tried their weekend specials like chivo (goat stew), but my absolute favorite dish to get is the tres golpe! This they made fresh upon order! Though tres golpe is commonly had for breakfast, I love having it any time of the day given that it's savory and plentiful in portion! It includes two pieces of fried cheese, fried salami, fried egg, and the best mangu (mashed plantains) I've ever had! Pair it with a freshly made cup of morir soñando? You're set. This is my favorite Dominican spot and I highly recommend it! They do well with ordering for pickup and food keeps well even when you order delivery! Though my brother-in-law is Puerto Rican and not Dominican, he will sometimes crave food from the Caribbean. He argues this spot has food that is probably the closest thing you can get to eating directly on the island itself! Staff were very kind and, as a previous reviewer pointed out, fluent in both English and Spanish. When we visited in-person, the restaurant was clearly a popular spot for folks in the community to pick up food to-go for lunch! I highly recommend you try this place out and support this local business!
