Wow! This was incredible! This is the first time I ever had Puerto Rican food, and I am a…read moreconvert!!! I wandered into El Turpial and was pleased at how immaculate the floor and tables are. Extremely clean. They take much pride in cleanliness, that scored major points with me. El Turpial appears to be a mom-and-pop family-run restaurant, that has plenty of room for indoor dining, as well as a variety of to-go options. Wanting to come to support local businesses, I figured I'd give this a try. Plus the pictures of the food had my mouth watering The staff was friendly and helpful, and explained the menu to me. I had the chicken empanadas which were delicious. They had a tasty, slightly sweet taste on the outside, and on the inside the chicken was juicy, packed with flavor, and the melted cheese had an amazing savory, tangy flavor that practically melts in your mouth. I then indulged into the pastrami sandwich, which just smacked of deliciousness. Reminded me of something I could get in New York City. The bread had a great chew, firmness, and fresh baked taste. The pastrami was premium quality, and everything they put on it was perfect. And it was huge! I didn't want to eat too much, but I couldn't stop because it was so delicious! I love this place, and plan on returning next time I'm in Ashtabula to try some more Puerto Rican dishes! Wonderful!

It was hard to pick one thing to try. We tried the bowls. They were so good and you got a big portion. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The sweet plantains were delicious. We love them and people don't always do them right. Would love to come back on the weekend and try the empanadas. Unfortunately, they're only available then. It's a family affair and they take such pride in their food. Go check them out.

It was disappointing to see the roti on top of the bones chicken and watered down gravy. It was not wrapped neither. I ate the roti 4 hrs after I bought it so the flavours could come together. Didn't really matter I had to debone everything and wrap the roti myself. I know the city of London is filled with people that don't look like you or me, if your gonna sell a roti at least sell It with the options with or with out bone.

I love Carribean food!…read more Atmosphere: Tucked away in the plaza, this place has both a restaurant sit-down area, as well as a take-out area. We decided to go for take-out, but peeking into the restaurant area seemed quite cozy. Service: Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Food & Price: Oh my goodness. This place lived up to the hype from the reviews! We ordered both the large jerk chicken (12.99) and the large curry goat (13.99) as well as a side of beef patty (2.50). Personal favourite was the jerk chicken. It is spicy and delicious. The chicken was soft and flavorful, the rice was nicely covered with sauce, and the macaronis and coleslaw balanced the flavors out. The curry goat was also yummy. Personally am not too big of a fan for gamey meats, but my bf enjoyed it thoroughly. Finally, the beef patty was delicious as well. My bf had recently visited Jamaica and he believed that this was probably one of the most authentic places he could find in London that replicated the patties he had overseas. Overall: For the price, the size and the deliciousness of the foods, I recommend you give this place a try!
