Definitely my new go-to-spot! The amount of food I got for under 11 dollars was ridiculous. I got an empanada, drink, and los tres golpes. Everything was delicious, warm, and flavorful. The staff was super friendly too! Highly recommend.

Welcoming owners, the shrimp mofongos were amazing and freshly done. Be warned that the mofongos turn into rocks if left overnight or gets too cold.

I have a new favorite! I'm less of a fan of the fatty pork and this place serves my tastes perfectly. There's still enough "spare on there" for a succulent flavor presentation while also avoiding being excessively fatty. Kids or adults, young or old... it's hard...Read More

Best Spanish food in Lancaster. I've eaten at all the rest and trust me their food has a traditional Spanish flavor. Reasonably price to boot. And the portions are more than enough. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up...

The mofongo & pork here is delicious 😋. They put lil pieces of pig fat in the mofongo. The mofongo was moist. I like that they put a piece of crispy fat in your platter in case you want to add it to the mofongo....Read More
