Not a good experience for my brother and me.. who serves a plate at a restaurant like this ? Rice was full of oil,, my brother asked for Mayo catch up they said we don’t have anymore… Until my brother found it in their soda refrigerator relationship without my approval what restaurant tells you know instead of mixing two ingredients together and done… We received the plates never received silverware my brother had to reach underneath their cash register to get our own silverware… the carne frita was flooded with lime to mask being dry .. tostones was glued with salt … look at the platino marduro. Pic says it all..I paid $28 for that at a drink that wouldn’t even fill a To-go plate my brother paid 24 for carne frita that went in the garbage…evern the bodegas in Lawrence do better then this for 1/2 the price.

This place was recommended by a friend and it was my first time ordering Mofongo. Other than the fact it was a bit dry, it tasted amazing! All the food here was good. I ordered a Mofongo with Shrimp and a Beef and Cheese empanada. Service was great and they even handed out plantain chips that they were experimenting with to every table. Awesome experience and will definitely be coming back for more

We drove an hour to visit this restaurant. We were sadly disappointed. First I will say the pernil, rellenos de papa, sweet plantains, tasted great (could have been hotter)and their desserts are worth trying also presentation is appealing. Next, completely overpriced! Just Rice & Beans for $18. The sampler NOT worth $40 with taxes and fees almost $50 ( they add a 15% gratuity mandatory) The food is premade and probably in a warmer. It didn’t taste freshly made. There was no steam coming from any of the food. I would have liked to try Alcapurias made without yucca. The free soup when you dine in wasn’t hot and too much cilantro. Some people may not know but Quality good tasting Puerto Rican food is time consuming and a lot of work. It is worth the wait and money if done right but not when you cut corners to make a buck. Unfortunately I won’t be back.

I tried their arroz con gandules, maduros, alcapurria, and chicken empanada at a recent farm festival – They were the only Latin tent and I take any opportunity to eat my favorite alcapurrias, but unfortunately I was greatly disappointed. I paid $28 for everything and the only thing I enjoyed was the maduros.

This was our first time today here and we really enjoyed this place. The owner was really nice and treated us like family. He gave us the back story to his company. So far all the food was delicious! I especially love the guava and cheese empanadas!! The atmosphere was really good, walked in and it felt like grandma’s place. It was very clean and smelled good. We will definitely be back!!

Booked Cafe El Camino catering and did not regret it! The food was AMAZING! Everyone was raving, people who had never had Puerto Rican food before, people who grew up eating it all the time – everyone had the same review and it was 5 stars. Elizabeth was great to work with, communicative, and made sure the food was delivered at the requested time. Awesome experience.

BEST PUERTO RICAN AND OVERALL SPANISH FOOD I’VE HAD HERE! I had the rice with gandules and it’s the best rice I’ve ever had. I was able to try the white rice with beans as well and the beans were absolutely delicious! The carne frita was perfectly fried yet amazingly juice; and the crackling chicken was seasoned to perfection ! My taste buds are the happiest they’ve been since I got to New Hampshire 2 months ago! Not to mention the service was impeccable. The owner made sure that we felt at home ! Treating us to everything possible ! He was so, so sweet and personable it was unbelievable. I was extremely happy the whole time I was there and comfortable ! If I could give it 10 stars I would ! It’s a MUST for all Spanish food lovers. Will be coming back often I wish I would’ve taken more pictures of the food

Ordered catering from Cafe El Camino for my Memorial day party and it was absolutely excellent. Pork, rice, empanadas, all amazing. Everything was packed perfectly and it was ready for pickup right on time. All my guests raved about the food. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great catering option.

Best Spanish food I’ve had in years! So glad I found this place! Better than any restaurants I’ve been to in Lawrence and Lynn. So impressed. Tastes like home made food I’d eat at a family members house. I loved it!
