Customer Reviews
We were searching Chinese food and wanted to try a new place. El Calenton Chino popped up and we instantly wanted to try it. Nothing like a little twist. I ordered for pick up. The restaurant was very clean and staff was extremely friendly. Food was hot and fresh. My 16 year old daughter kept pointing to her Food and shaking her head yes. I've never seen her so quiet when eating. She said the only thing she would have different is the fries. She didn't like them in the same container with everything else because they got soft from the sauce. I have a seafood allergy so I requested my daughter's food to be bagged separately. They did exactly what I asked and made sure I was very aware of what was in which bag. My boyfriend, my daughter and myself are definitely returning.
I had an amazing time here. Todo muy rico — everything was truly delicious. The menu blends Chinese and Puerto Rican flavors in a way that feels natural and exciting, creating a perfect combo you don’t find just anywhere. Every dish tasted fresh, well‑seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can feel the pride they put into both the food and the atmosphere.
This is the 1st place since Puerto Rico I was able to get KanKan at a restaurant locally. The portions are huge and the people are always so friendly! So many more options I want to try, but I been stuck on the chuleta KanKan.
We had an excellent experience, everyone was so nice and helpful and the food was fantastic (especially the flan and empanadas)! We are definitely coming here again!
The food was absolutely amazing. It was worth the hr drive. Empanada locos Tostones con ajo Shrimp in ajo and mofongo plus what my sister got so good
