I've been craving pasteles for a while now... I grew up with Puerto Ricans in NYC, so you know, I know a thing or two about their pasteles...
After searching on Yelp, I found Ino's. I bookmarked it and I've been meaning to order for a loooong time. Well this past weekend I saw an ad on Facebook so I finally messaged them and put in an order.
The owner, Conchita was super nice and answered all my questions and made a delivery to my hospital room (I've been in the hospital for quite some time now). I ordered almost her whole menu and boy, it's worth every penny!!!
I inhaled my plate of pastele lumpia (her special recipe), gandules rice, pastele and malasada within minutes!! It was so good!!! Almost every single bite had juicy pork in it. Whole olives... even meat in the rice! Everything was just tasty and well balanced. Every bite was just awesome!
I'm gonna try her stew next time. And I'm def gonna order more pasteles... I love how she uses organic bananas too!
I've been eating the pasteles all week and is sad that I'm almost out. Have to call in for another order!
Yum yum in my tum tum!
