Reviews for El Poeta De Los Sandwiches in Hartford, CT
The monfongo suppose to be a popular dish. The food is savory not sweet at all. The shrimp monfongo is decent portion. The... shrimp is regular size. It's still plenty enough to eat. The service was little slow to operate when the restaurant is not evenpacked. Next time will try the Cuban sandwich. Read more
I went today to get a frappe. While I was waiting. There was also person saying to them to give them the money back. Because... they took for ever to give them the food. The most disturbing part was that the two women were in this guy face and threateningthis couple. I think it was the owner. All I heard was bad words from both parties. The women also try to kick the girl that waswith him and he told them she was pregnant. First and last time. I don?t usually do reviews but it was so disturbing. I don?treally know how everything happened but the way the workers acted was terrible. Read more
This was hands down the worst food establishment i have ever stepped into. It took an hour to get a sandwich that was so... disgusting that I gave the other half of it to a homeless man and felt bad about it. 10 minutes later, i came out of an actualestablishment and saw the sandwich on the street with one bite taken out of it. The frappes are all flavorless. Man at theregister said their best appetizer was the canoe. It?s a plantain with beef, squirt cheese, and yum yum sauce. Absolutelyrevolting. My stomach is in knots.

This establishment is not nice to people that are not their culture. I ordered the strawberry cheesecake frappe & was told that... it would take 20 mins to make. I stood outside as I timed the order. They ultimately gave me a drink that didn?t look prettylike as shown in the photo. Their excuse was that I took longer than 20 mins to come and get my order which is impossiblebecause I used their restroom and lingered around. I told them that I no longer want the drink and the lady snatched it out ofmy hand and said that they will make a new one. All they did was use the same drink I gave them back and put one tiny piece ofcheesecake & like two slices of strawberry. I am such an unhappy customer. They need to be more clear about their rules to thesedrinks. I?m not sure why they made the drink before my sandwich. I?m just such an unhappy customer. I highly will not recommendthis establishment to another person! Read more
Didn't try the food but the drinks were amazing The wait was a little long ... But definitely worth it
This restaurant is small but they have really good food. My favorite part is that they have Christian music playing as well as... they also have Bible verses around the restaurant. The staff is very friendly and lovable. Love their frappes and theirsandwiches. I recommend 100% you just have to be patient because they do take abit of time to bring the food out. Read more

This place was delicious! I tried the Boricuazo which was very good - like a cubano but with crispy chopped bacon along with... turkey and ham. The bread was perfect, smashed and crisp. We had some mini mofongo on the side which was tasty, but couldn'tfinish it all! Very generous portions. Read more
