| - My sister used to live out this way and knows how I love my puerto rican food, suggested I try this place (thanks Alicia). Now she moved and lives near me, so I have no reason to go out to Lorain and therefore have not had any of my fix in a while. I was just saying how I'm going to make a special trip, since I have been disappointed with the overpriced and underwhelming puerto rican restaurants in Cleveland.
Lets talk food, the rice is great. I like my rice white, so I can dip it in some of the rich sauces your meat is served in. I love empanada's and the plantains (doused in garlic). I always, I mean always, get a side of the yucca or cassava. It is kind of like a potato, but is served with onions and red peppers and spanish olives. It is so moist and yummy and the flavor of the sauce and texture of the yucca is wonderful. I love their bacalao, spanish salt cod. It is served in a salad form and I only get this in small amounts and also pair it with a meat. I'm big on the pernil, spanish style pulled pork. Also, you cant go wrong with any of the meats. Pork, chicken, steak, beef stew, whatevers clever.
Just had to give El Kefon their props for making me miss them so. After having a few bad experiences on Detroit Rd and Fulton Rd in Cleveland, I really miss your affordable, filling and consistently divine offerings. I hope to see you soon El Kefon.
