Ileana's Kitchen — Restaurant in Pottstown

I wanted to love this place so badly. It's hard finding Puerto Rican food that isn't in Reading or that I have to make myself. But I noticed a few things with the food that could be better. I was given mostly white rice (yellow rice had run out), little to no beans on my plate. The food was also put in the lid portion of the takeaway box (lid is shallower than the bottom and has vent holes that can be popped out), not sure if this was done on purpose. The pernil was very peppery but I didn't taste much of anything else (it ended up tasting like peppered turkey rather than pernil). Beans were also very salty. The empanada was great, very crispy with just the right amount of seasoning.

I am unsure if it was an off day. But my meal all together was $26 with $6 being for the empanada alone. I wish the best for this place and their success. My experience wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either. I think it must have been an off day. And I'd be willing to try it again...

The food is amazing but I am absolutely fed up with this place, their hours are never correct, this is my fourth time coming here, first time food was amazing everything was great, next time he said they were closed even tho it said they were open which whatever no big deal, second time he said the only thing available on the menu was the few empanadas they had left, and now I’m sitting in the parking lot because there was no was at the counter when it said they were open, I call Everytime but no one ever answers the phones, these people do not know how to...

They make very delicious Puerto Rican style empanadas! They were really close to the ones I ate as a kid in Philly. I also had the pork and rice platter, which was good, I just wish the rice had some more beans in it. The staff were extremely friendly and nice. The price was more than reasonable. Once we placed our order it, it didn't take too long for it to be ready. Would recommend this place when you're in the mood for some PR food!
