El Principe Restaurant is a go-to spot for authentic Spanish cuisine, conveniently located caddy-corner from Episcopal Hospital. The menu features a big selection, including roasted chicken or pork, rice (red or white), and a variety of flavorful stews, each with its own unique taste. The baked pork with yellow rice and plantains is particularly noted for its deliciousness. The salad is also a highlight, and the tres leche cake is described as addictive. The small, comfortable, and clean interior enhances the dining experience, though parking is very minimal, requiring some guests to double park or use the middle of the street. While the staff may have varying levels of English proficiency, they manage to communicate effectively. Despite a few service issues, the food is consistently fresh and reminiscent of homemade grandmother's cooking, making El Principe a hidden gem worth visiting.
