Love how close it is to my house. The food is great. Just like home cooked. You can tell it’s cooked fresh. The owner is so nice. Cozy little spot to eat and have nice conversation. I will definitely be back.

Such A cute little spot down here in Downtown Lorain OH, I’m just visiting but so glad I found this small family owned restaurant, really nice and welcoming people, the food was really good! Aghhhh y'all will definitely have to try the Cheddar broccoli soup, it was outstanding, and it’s such a staple where I’m from! 10/10 place and experience, definitely will be coming back before I leave !! Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing food! I had the yauco sandwich. Full size is humongous and a great value. The sancocho soup is legit. Customer service top notch. Not much seating but perfect to take to go or do a catering order. Ruby is an amazing person that likes to keep everything local and fresh. Can’t recommend enough!

This little gem in our hometown is such a blessing to our community. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, kindness, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can truly taste the love in every bite.

EDITED/UPDATED my original post was 1 star, they were closed unannounced. It was a time I kept seeing them on social media on how great the food is, so there was a day I was craving Latin food, went there and honestly yes I was big time upset, I’m a fat kid, come on lol but after a few days I got that craving again and wanted to go back and try again, DUDE……. Great things are worth the wait! My wife got the Cuba and I got the Chupacabra, listen, you may have to wait, because the food is made to order, you’re getting a legit home cooked meal from a corner hole in the wall, you’re gonna feel warm, full, happy, just from eating there, I will follow this little restaurant any where they go, El Pegao, my sincerest apologies for the first review, I have been proven way wrong and you have earned
