El Cubano Restaurant

"This place was just truly awesome. I really enjoyed every single item I had from them, and I don’t even eat Cuban food that often. It’s a real treat. I tried a wide assortment of delicious items. I tried a malteada, beef and cheese empanada, Jamaican beef patty, ropa vieja, and rice and beans. The two empanadas were incredible. They were crispy on the outside, very crunchy. Delicious stuffing. Very meaty and fresh. The cheese had a nice saltiness to it, and was also delicious. Stuffed to the brim. I loved it and would definitely recommend. Oh, and they were pretty huge, too. The Jamaican patty was quite spicy. I was surprised by how tasty this was. Perhaps a tad bit dry on the edges, but the stuffing was really tasty. Similar to the beef and cheese empanadas but with a different, flakier encasing. The ropa vieja was fantastic. The meat was so tender and perfectly cooked. It was juicy and flavorful. I would 100% recommend it. The meat went perfectly with the flavorful rice and beans, which soaked up the delicious meat juices perfectly. Finally, this was my first time trying a malteada. It’s kind of hard to describe this drink, a bit like caramel? It is very sweet but still quite enjoyable. Id say it’s not my favorite drink, and the smoothies are probably better in my opinion, but it was still nice to try. All in all, I would for certain recommend this place. The meat is amazing, empanadas are fantastic, sides are stellar…what’s not to love? Prices are amazing and portions are too. I’d definitely come back here next time I’m in Lancaster."
