What an amazing little spot, our first time after looking up a Spanish food place more local and everything I read up on was just to the T. Great food, cool atmosphere awesome drinks 🍹and AMAZING food. Definitely a hidden jewel for sure. Truly recommend this place. Gained my business and worth sharing with others who want a good touch to the island Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 cuisine.

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere particularly in a relatively old strip mall. The decor is perfect. The food is amazing as is the service. Glad we finally tried this place. If you like Caribbean food, this is the place. The seafood paella is to die for! Got two meals out of one order. Please try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

Stopped in at El Cirillo today for a bite, I was very happy I did.. For appetizers we ordered beef Empanada's & Chicharrón which were absolutely delicious 😋 for our main we got fried pork chops & stewed beef, both with rice & beans. Both meals packed some serious flavor & truly hit the spot 🎯 This is a place i would happily recommend to anyone who likes food¡¡¡

Literally the best rice and beans I’ve ever had in addition to the roasted pork dishes both were fantastic! The empanadas were fire too. the drinks-the coconut mojito and leche martinis were delicious and the service was spectacular. Highly recommend
Best restaurant in the area with flavorful food and good service! The place was very clean with upbeat music and a full bar and some bar seating. Went for a casual meal but would be back with friends and can see it being a great date spot as well!
The food was cooked and seasoned well, presented nicely and in big portions. Bonus… it turned out to also be one of the best cups of coffee in the area too!
This hidden gem is among several small places in an unassuming strip mall. Went on the early side, parking was easy with a small lot in front.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options aren’t clearly labeled but if you often try different cuisines you usually know what to order and they openly communicated ingredients when we inquired. 2 sides is plenty to be a meal and they are all tasty, especially the fried plantains with salsa and rice/beans.
Dietary restrictions: Accommodated our dietary preferences and told us honestly what we could and could not order based on them!
Parking: Small parking lot out front and more rear parking too

The only thing is I like my beer in the bottle. I wasn't sure why we didn't have the choice of glass or bottle? In a restaurant, not a club or lounge... other than that everything and everyone was spectacular.
I love my Creole and Cultural food ❤️🇵🇷
