El Barajo has long been on my list of restaurants to try in the Utica area. We finally ordered lunch from there via UberEats and were very pleased with our meal. We ordered the pollo guisado, camaronfongo, and a vegetable empanada. All three were delicious, but I especially enjoyed the pollo guisado. The chicken--all dark meat, which I prefer--was melt-off-the-bone tender and very well-seasoned. We opted for yellow rice and black beans as sides, which were excellent accompaniments. My kids also loved this dish. I really loved the flavors of the camaronfongo (basically mofongo with shrimp), but only wish that there was more broth to pair with the mofongo. The mofongo was a bit dry, and I needed some more sauce or broth to moisten it and cut through the density. The fried vegetable empanada was crispy and delicious. The portions were generous; our order was enough for two adults and two toddlers, with leftovers enough for an adult's full meal.

Me and my coworker ordered lunch, I had the empanadas and she had the steak with peppers and onions. The food was good and the portions were big for the price. 10 out of 10, recommend!

I definitely expected the food to be better. Was very disappointed. The food was tasteless including the beans and rice... The empanadas were horrible, taste like they were made at 5 o'clock in the morning, I mean how hard is it to fry an empanada to order? The sweet plantains were decent as they were freshly made. Everything else was warm at best.. Would definitely not recommend it...
