If you haven't yet tried Marcelo's, I highly recommend giving it a go; their food is simply the best. We've visited several times, and they always impress us. Last Sunday, we stopped by for lunch, and even though it was just Marcelo, the owner, working (he mentioned he struggles to find staff for Sundays), the service was still outstanding, and our food came out quickly. I also have a service dog, and Marcelo has always been incredibly accommodating, ensuring both me and my dog Phoebe are comfortable. I can't say enough positive things about this hidden gem, the owner, and his team. Don't let the exterior fool you; it may not look like much from the outside, but once you step inside and taste the food, you'll feel like you've dined in a five-star restaurant.
Food was excellent! We will be back very soon! Staff was very friendly and helpful as well.
My husband randomly found this restaurant while searching on a map in our surrounding area! We live in Chester and wanted to try something new, and wow it didn't disappoint! Delicious food! I got the Dominican Flag with beef stew amaaaazing! The rice was cooked to perfection. Marcelo was so kind and friendly, the prices were right and we enjoyed ourselves so much! Can't wait to go back!!
Highly recommend! Had a awesome experience here. The owner was extremely nice I felt like I was back in the Dominican Republic.
This restaurant is the best in town. Don't let the humble building exterior keep you away. The interior is immaculate and tastefully (not fancy) decorated. The food is exquisite. I had mofongo stuffed with pork and garlic sauce and it was delicious. This building does not have very good signage, so it's easy to miss it from the street, and that's unfortunate. Use your GPS, and plug in 2151 W Meeting Street Lancaster S.C 29720. It will be well worth it.
