I?ve had the opportunity to enjoy lunch here a few times this past year. It is always a nice experience. The food and hospitable wait staff make it comfortable for me and my friends. Thank you Paninoteca for your friendliness and variety of menu offerings.I like bringing my friends here.
Great food. Tons of gluten free options.
Stopped here for a late lunch and check the place out after the change in ownership, I know it's been a while. We were NOT disappointed! I love to check out new dishes and flavors from around the world, there is no shortage of different menu to pickfrom. We will definitely be coming back sooner this time.
Delicious food and very family oriented.

The owners truly invest their passion into this restaurant. I absolutely love both the food and the staff. If you're going to order, make sure to choose something from the Dominican menu. The mashed plantains are a must-try!
Tons of gluten free options. Good flavorful dishes.
Staff is always super cheery and delightful to be served by. The food is even better. I’ve never had a negative experience. There are some things on the menu that may seem scary at first but are definitely worth the try.
Quaint, family run, excellent Reuben and fried plantains.
The restaurant is now called Rico's. I went there for breakfast, and everything was fantastic. It wasn’t busy at all today. Our waitress was very attentive to our group.

If you want something new and different, you have to try Paninoteca. Amazing flavors. You must try the Italian sausage soup, it’s better than it sounds. One of the owners came to our table and introduced himself. They have some great menu options. Support local and try this place. You will not be disappointed.
Best smashed plantains I've had anywhere outside of the Caribbean. Great flavor in my pork chop dish but the pork chop was more like ham to me. Horchata was really great! I like the diner atmosphere coupled with some seriously good down-home cooking, Caribbean style. Will definitely be stopping back, and frequently.
The first thing that struck me was how clean and beautifully decorated the restaurant was. I felt comfortable and right at home. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly, making a fantastic first impression. I was recommended the shrimp spinach pasta, and it was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. I also savored an authentic Cuban sandwich, which was amazing. I ended my meal with dessert and a signature shot. It was the best Valentine's dinner ever!
I really enjoy this place. I come here often with my girlfriends parents as her mother has Celiac's and they offer gluten free options. It's real good food and staff is always very welcoming. It's a nice enviorment too. No complaints.
I recently placed my order and my waitress is a lovely young lady. However, the only downside is that she seems a bit unresponsive—not in a lifeless way, but she lacks a friendly personality or a warm demeanor. I really hope the food is just as good as I've heard. And let me tell you, the food is incredible!!! Also, I took the photos with a Samsung Note 8.

Delicious food and very family-oriented.
I stopped by for a late lunch to check out the place after the change in ownership, and I have to say, it did not disappoint! I really enjoy trying new dishes and flavors from around the world, and their menu offers a wide variety of options. We will definitely be returning!
