El Kefon Puertoriqueno: Experience Authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine in Lorain, OH

Very good tasting food. I have never experienced these tastes before. I kinda don't know what to say about the fried plantains. I thought I tasted something like bitter or almost vinegary, then sweet then back to this other taste. My tastebuds were exploding! Very different, very unique and dare I say tasty! Sorry I didn't catch the names of the food though, I will try to describe what we had best I can. The pork chunks ( with bones) those were amazing, that sauce!!! They serve it rice and beans and I want to say the price was in the ballpark of $12.00. Very tasty! I would have that again. The beef pieces over rice was good too but not as flavorful as the pork chunks and the sauce was good but almost greasy like. Still had a good taste and the meat was tender. Oh my goodness now these little pocket things, forgive me I think they were beef pastalios that sounds familiar. At about $3.00 oh my, my, my.... Pure Yum! The only downfalls I saw were There were a lot of flies from outside inside the eating area. So many that we were constantly waving our hands over our food. Yeah... I didn't like that at all. Granted it is summer and flies are in full force, but still. Secondly, the movie they had playing in the restraunt was gross...it wasn't appropriate for people to see big sharks attacking...blood, guts and gore and more as I am trying to eat my food. I would just suggest something neutral maybe. Other than that all in all it was a good experience. I liked the pastalios the best! Try it for yourself. As always I write detailed, truthful reviews and if you liked this review or found it helpful would you kindly give me a thumbs up. Thank you and Enjoy El Kefón!

So delicious! The flavor and texture of the rice this day was perfection!

My absolutely favorite ever whenever I’m in Lorain it’s a MUST I go ! On top of that the portions are great

Love their food!!! My husband and I grew up and Lorain but no longer live there. When we visit which is rare we get their food. It's amazing!!!

This was a great place for a quick lunch while I was in Lorain, OH. Service was fast and steady. Heavy crowd so this place must be great!

We were on a work trip, and this place was recommended. The white rice with frijoles colorados, and pernil was delicious! We even got some complimentary tostones which, as well, were fresh. Thank you very much! Edit: Back again! Best of the best.

Excellent excellent excellent!!!!! Every time we go there for lunch, the food, service and atmosphere is wonderful. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend. We will continue going to this establishment. Thank you guys for your excellent service to our community.

We were on our way home and decided to stop here. Fellow Puerto Rican here and let me just say, the food was amazing! The service was superb! We were able to sample different meats first and the plates were huge with plenty of food to feed multiple people per plate. We have so much leftovers and the prices are very affordable for the amount and quality of food. We will be coming back! Muchísimas gracias por un servicio impecable, que Dios los bendiga mucho y que su negocio sea bendecido siempre.
