El Pabellon De Oro

This Chino Latino restaurant in Soundview has a steady stream of regulars: people who have a classic order and say things like “Am I the last customer? Well, I’m also the best customer!” Inside this neighborhood spot are mirrors lining the white walls, tables for small groups, and a counter where people wait for their takeout. The menu has full sections of American Chinese and Latin dishes, but if you’re in need of a quick meal, just get the ropa vieja and pork fried rice. Now you’ve got your order, in case you want to reach regular status at El Pabellon De Oro, too.
