- I have been going to El Oriental for many years was so excited when the re-opened. This is a class act of caribean cuisine...It's really Cuban but most of those amazing ladies in the kitchen are Dominican and can they cook! My mom Doña Elba is the harshist critic ,as an excellent cook of criolla food she is super critical of flavors, sazon. But for special occassions we hike from North Cambridge to El Oriental and just order everything! She is in heaven! Our favorites are the fried fish dishes al mojo, ropa vieja, mofongo, Bistec encebollado, and fried chicken. The portions are huge so we just get to share everything! The staff is pleasant and are accomodating. El oriental has something on the menu for everyone! Also try their sandwiches, bad ass cuban sub.

- Bomb Cubano's brah. They were super busy inside, but managed to get our food out hot and quickly. Price wasn't bad and the sandwich was freaking fantastic. Everything about it from the bread to the cheese. I want to try more things from this delicious place.

- Fantastic yellow rice and sweet plantains. Through my experience at El Oriental I have a whole new appreciation for Cuban stewed chicken. The service is on a fast pace since there is always a line for this place. Its a great place for a Saturday afternoon lunch with friends. A slice of Cuba.
