El Pilon Market - Albany

For a cozy, home-cooked breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this is the place to be! They even offer some of your pharmacy essentials at lower prices. Just when the nearby Walgreens raises its prices, it's important to recognize the gems in our community. The customer service here is incredibly friendly and welcoming at all times. I highly recommend enjoying their fresh products, exploring the meat department, and picking up drinks on the go!

I found this amazing restaurant based on a recommendation after mentioning that I really missed this type of food because I've never learned how to make it. The staff couldn't have been nicer and thanked me multiple times for coming in. Honestly, they didn't even need to talk to me because the delicious food speaks for itself! I ordered two dishes of pernil with yellow rice, beans, and sweet plantains, and it was absolutely heavenly—generous portions, authentic flavors, and all for just over twenty dollars total. They suggested I call tomorrow to see what they have cooked for lunch, and I can't wait to try more. Thank you, ladies! Everything was delightful!

The food is excellent, and the staff is very friendly. My top picks are the pepper steak with rice and the chicken stir-fry with rice.

Their baked chicken is so good it just falls right off the bone and goes great with yellow rice.
