Island City is a food truck specializing in Puerto Rican food. My friend and I spotted it at the…read moreCleveland Market. We immediately agreed that empanadillas for breakfast are the best choice. FOOD: We both ordered pork empanadillas. They were good but the meat felt too soupy. I also ordered guava empanadilla. I liked the guava filling but felt that the dough felt too fried/oily. Portions were generous in terms of empanada size. I want to sing praises to Tropical Coco (Coconut Soda). It was the perfect hint of coconut and subtle sweetness. My friend and I decided to find and order this soda somewhere. SERVICE: More pleasant than it should be at a food trucks. Great hospitality. We were even called by our first names. Service was also quite quick. VALUE: The menu goes up to $16. Most items are priced at $12. $6 per piece is a bit pricey for empanadas compared to local restaurants but this was also event pricing. I'd visit Island City again. Next time I'd like to taste Island Sandwich. Another coconut soda for me of course as well!!!

I went with a large group for lunch on Sunday and we were all taken care of very fast and the food was served hot. Most of my group got the sampler so they could try a variety of items, but I got the cubano sandwich with yuca fries and a side of chicken + cheese puposa to go. I can't help it - if a Cubano is offered, I have to get it! The bread was delicious and had a buttery, crispy texture and the ham/pork/cheese/mustard combo was a delight in every bite! The yuca fries were a bit dry and hard. Not my favorite yuca fries I've ever had. But anyway - All this for under $20? What a steal!

Came here last year for Cleveland Taco Week and did not have the best experience. I love the vibe…read moreand what they are doing at this old fast food building, but the meal experience did not live up to the hype. We ordered a basket of chips along with salsa and guacamole and then a bunch of tacos (beef, pork, chicken). The salsa was thick and very onion forward tasting, the gauc was creamy and we liked the chips. Our tacos lacked seasoning on the grilled meats themselves which led to our disappointment. I did finish the meal with a flan that was creamy but was missing all the syrupy goodness that usually comes with the dish. Hoping it was just an off night for them and we can give 'em another go to see what so many others feel is a great restaurant.

Upon entrance I noticed that we were the only customers so I was a little skeptical. Let me first start off by saying that NaNa was the BOMB. As the restaurant started to get more customers she was alone but she kept up with our food orders and our drinks and kept a positive attitude despite not having any help. After asking for recommendations we decided to try the papas locas which is French fries loaded with your choice of meat, bbq, sour cream, mayo ketchup, regular ketchup, nacho cheese, mozzarella cheese and bacon bits. These French fries were amazing!!! I shared with my guy and we both were satisfied. As we ate we noticed that every single meal that everyone else ordered looked amazing and we wish we could've tried every single last meal. Needless to say I will be back!!!

I would have made this 3.5 stars if I could…read more Plusses: Large portions. The large Italian beef was indeed large (I should have ordered the regular; the large is more than any one person should eat) and packed with beef. The portion of fries was big, too. Quick service. Took only a few minutes to get my order. Minuses: While there was a lot of beef, the spicy giardinera was on the skimpy side. Traditionally, that would be piled high and falling off; this was not much and buried inside. The fries were limp; a few seemed not quite cooked through. My first bite into the beef puzzled me. It was mushy. This continued throughout the sandwich. From the pinkish hue of some of the beef, I'm guessing this might be due to being cooked less than I'm used to? In any case, it was disconcerting. And the jus was much plainer than I'm used to, as well. I expected to see flecks of oregano and other spices; this version was darker and seemed to be lacking those. It may be unfair to compare this to my expectations. Maybe, if you're new to Italian beef, you might enjoy this. But if you're looking for a Buona / Mr. Beef / Portillo's experience, you won't find it here.

Finally decided to stop in when I was driving by and noticed "open late" sign. AMBIANCE: Simple cafe with minimal decor. White walls and digital menus. Faux marble wrap around bar and a few chairs are available to dine in. All guests were picking up to go orders during my visit. FOOD: The menu is straightforward. It was easy to review it during first visit and make quick decisions. There are multiple categories including Italian beef sandwiches, sausage sandwiches, pressed sandwiches, and sides. I ordered Philly sandwich ($13), fresh cut fries ($4.25), and two Italian beef egg rolls ($5). I ordered Philly sandwich since it's a classic and I felt like it would be the best choice. The meat tasted high quality. Unfortunately, I did not like any dishes. Meat in Philly sandwich was bland and could use more seasoning. It seemed like something was missing - cheese or something like mayo or other ingredients. It was literally bread and meat. The price for the size did not seem like good value. Italian beef egg rolls were dry both exterior shell and meat. The fries were a bit soggy but included a generous portion. I didn't eat much of my meal. Perhaps other menu items are tastier. The cafe has rewards program through Toast. You receive sign up 25 bonus points then 1 point for every $1.25 spent. Although my points did not calculate accurately, less points were provided. SERVICE: I didn't feel especially welcome and was rushed. The service was very quick, order was available in minutes. It was very impressive. This eatery is a good destination if you're craving quickly served sandwiches. It's especially true later in the day or on weekends when most businesses in Parma open early. I didn't find any favorite menu items but you might!
