El Kefón

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!

What an absolutely amazing place! In this day and age customer service has seemed to go out the window, however, that wasn’t the case here! The owner was incredibly kind, hospitable, and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. He let us try food items and was such a pleasure to talk to. Not to mention EVERYTHING we tried was amazing!!!! We will without be back and are already considering using their catering for our daughter birthday party!

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!Food: 5/5

Lorain has a jewel. Nothing better than authentic Puerto Rican food from people from the area. Must go place!Food: 5/5

Great staff. The food is always good and hot.

Nice family atmosphere and friendly staff, excellent choices for lunch and dinner. Love the yellow rice and beans! Several meat selections ,I like the steak w/onions and the beef stew w/ potatoes!

The food was really good, and the lady who helped me was soo nice! It was my first time, and she was very helpful, patient, and kind. Which is sadly very rare these days. So, I just wanted to say thank you! Will definitely be back.

Excellent food as good as my dad in puerto rico makes

The food is excellent delicious Food: 5/5

Cute little place! The food was good and it was so exciting to find some Puerto Rican and Cuban food not far from where we stayed in Vermillion. Serving sizes are huge, so come prepared with a hearty appetite or a companion to share your dish with.
