    My sister used to live out this way and knows how I love my puerto rican food, suggested I try this place (thanks Alicia). Now she moved and lives near me, so I have no reason to go out to Lorain and therefore have not had any of my fix in a while. I was just saying how I'm going to make a special trip, since I have been disappointed with the overpriced and underwhelming puerto rican restaurants in Cleveland. Lets talk food, the rice is great. I like my rice white, so I can dip it in some of the rich sauces your meat is served in. I love empanada's and the plantains (doused in garlic). I always, I mean always, get a side of the yucca or cassava. It is kind of like a potato, but is served with onions and red peppers and spanish olives. It is so moist and yummy and the flavor of the sauce and texture of the yucca is wonderful. I love their bacalao, spanish salt cod. It is served in a salad form and I only get this in small amounts and also pair it with a meat. I'm big on the pernil, spanish style pulled pork. Also, you cant go wrong with any of the meats. Pork, chicken, steak, beef stew, whatevers clever. Just had to give El Kefon their props for making me miss them so. After having a few bad experiences on Detroit Rd and Fulton Rd in Cleveland, I really miss your affordable, filling and consistently divine offerings. I hope to see you soon El Kefon.

    Went on two different Sunday's, both times they were closed. The store hours on their window shows that they are open till 5:00 on Sundays.

    Tried this place for the first time the other day. It's pretty small and it's more a buffet than a restaurant, but the food was pretty good. The yellow rice was spiced perfectly, the beans were good, and the pork chop was so tender it fell off the bone. I'll probably go back again some day.

    Had a craving and needed my fix! I'm not sure why I haven't heard of El Kefon yet but, so glad I gave them a try. It was as good as I hoped! We had as much as we could... the chicken and pork, white and yellow rice, beans, empanadas, and ruellenos de papas. Fantastic! I'm confident to say 2nd best Puerto Rican cooking behind only Mrs. Camargo's kitchen in Brookpark!

    Owner acts like we're bothering him, if he's the owner. Some Caucasian people were in front of me, omg....he was SO different with serving them. He even gave them SAMPLES! In all the years of just trying to patronize our Latino businesses, he's never treated my family with any hospitality!! Food is mediocre.... nothing to write home about. Don't use bathroom, like most people, a clean bathroom & clean windows says alot about ANY restaurant!!! Yuck..... This "restaurant" has so much to be desired! #unsatisfiedcustomer

    If you want a styrofoam container full of lukewarm food-borne illness then this place is for you. I saw grease everywhere! It was revolting! Combine that with the cooks smoking cigarettes while cooking and you have a trip to Mercy Hospital coming.

    This was the jam to me! My puerto rican friend complained about the fatty bits in the pork. I got the beef and plantains and empanadas. Yum yum local lorain realness.

    The food is ok. The portions are huge, the price is cheap. When I need a fix of comida tipica not cooked by my own hands - this is a relatively close-by good alternative. I wish there were more options in Lorain.

    You can hold up your nose and say this is a dive. You can knock the formica tables and the cheap plastic and foam containers used for serving. You can even decry the lack of decor. You cannot criticize the large portions of well seasoned Puerto Rican food. And you gotta love the owners. We all know that it is best to go grocery shopping on a full stomach. Fortunately, El Kefon is a few doors down from Flignor's Market. Every time I want fresh Ohio meats from Flignor's I stop first at El Kefon. I always claim prices are so low at Flignor's that my total bill is surprisingly low. I suspect being so full from a platter of stewed chicken, yellow rice and red beans may have contributed to my disciplined cart. I usually arrive at El Kefon near 1:00 PM and there is perpetual small line waiting at the counter. Food is already prepared and sits behind a glass partition. Either the husband or wife takes your order as well as the order of the next person or two. That way as they pass by the trays they can fill more than one order. I do not know how but they outfast fast food. You help yourself to canned sodas in a refrigerator. Most customers carry out their orders but I sit at one of the long tables in front of the window pouring on the homemade pepper sauce. The menu is in Spanish so I either point to what I want or say chicken or beef or pork chop. I limit myself to what I see but some leave with steaks or other things that must be stored somewhere other than behind the glass. The pasteles seem to be the most popular item and fresh trays keep coming from the back. One of these days I will have to discover these other dishes. I know if I did not like what I eat here it would not be such a regular stop.

    El Kefon is an Amazing Puerto Rican Restaurant! The portions are out of this world for the price. The family that owns the restaurant are friendly and social. There's seating inside if you want the dining in experience. The only down side is that there's only a few vegetarian options. Otherwise, this is a great place for someone who loves meats of all kinds.

    Authentic Puerto Rican food with HUGE portions and cheap prices. Had beef stew with Spanish rice and some sort of meat pocket and all of it was delicious. Not a fancy place by any means...
