I happen to run across this place by happenstance. Excited to say the least as there isn’t many options for authentic Puerto Rican food here in Indiana. The hours are short, but understandable, just need to work around it. 😩 As the granddaughter of the creator of the Jibarito sandwich, I am very particular and critical over how other make them, but surprisingly enough Lumar’s Taste is on to something. Very good taste, size and overall an excellent sandwich. The morilla is on point, next time I’ll order a lb. That 1/2lb.left me wanting more 🫣🤣 if you know, you know! Also, the potato salad was a smack, overall pleased. I’ll be back soon as I want to try more options, thank you Lumar’s for reminding me what home taste like. Wish we could bottle the smells.🥰❤️

Disappointed. This place used to be one of our favorite places to eat. Idk what happened. But their pastelios were soo good and had a lot of meat now they are big & deformed looking. All different shapes and sizes. With very little meat and pretty salty. No inquire taste. Thier papa relleno have more papa and very little amount of meat like everything else. Lately, each time we have been picking up their food, it's been very disappointing. We are done with this place.

Really good food. I ordered a couple of different dishes to try and everything was delicious and so flavorful! I enjoyed it all but my favorite was the Beef Pastelillo! Made to perfection. In fact, I’m going back shortly to order more. I ordered the Pork Pasteles Dinner, 2 Steak Tacos, & A Beef Pastelillos, and all together I paid just under $23. The price is not bad at all for all the food I got. Try them out!! You won’t be disappointed.

I've been craving a jibarito forever, and didn't know there was a place to get one so near now that I'm back in the area. This was hands down THE BEST jibarito that I've had, and I've had them from the originator's restaurant in Chicago. I got chicken, and expected to get a grilled chicken breast. No...it was juicy flavorful pulled chicken, the garlic sauce was on point, the Puerto Rican rice was perfect. And on top of that, the jibarito dinner came with a side salad and bottled water. It was so good, I may or may not have eaten a piece of the paper my container was lined with. The lady who took my order was nice, and it's cute on the inside. This will definitely be my jibarito spot!!
