This was my first trip and I will definitely be back. I had the mofongo with shrimp and it was amazing! I think I just found my new favorite food! The hubby had the pernil which was very most and came with yellow rice. Good, but not as good as mine. ;) We had the flan for dessert which was very good also. It was thick and creamy rather than the thin kind you get in Mexican food restaurants. The only reason I gave 4 instead of five stars is that I watched the busser wipe down the table with his hand. Lol now that's classy!

I'm in a happy, fat food coma right now. Today, my husband and I were trying to decide on take-out and I came across a BOGO coupon in the Entertainment book. Score and done deal! I was glad to see they had a website with the menu listed. The menu does the trick but it would be nice if the pictures listed the name of the entrée. The menu looked to be identical to the previous restaurant which was fine by me. We ordered the Tostones al mojo, 2 alcapurrias, pernil with yellow and gandules (pigeon peas), and the beef stew with rice and a side of red beans. Everything was very delicious. The rice definitely had some crunchy parts (as another reviewer mentioned) which didn't bother me. I am Puerto-Rican and grew up used to the rice intentionally being cooked that way. I can see how it could be off-putting to others, though. My husband thought the pernil was slightly bland but I thought it was just fine. The bill was $32 before coupon, and after coupon, came out to $19. I guess we were the first to use this BOGO coupon and the guy spent some time trying to figure it out. He was very apologetic, though. Overall, great value even without the coupon, as we have plenty of leftovers. Will definitely be back for some PR comfort food.

Having been to Puerto Rico twice with my ex who was born and raised on the island, I know authentic Puerto Rican food. Omg it's so good... just go try it. Celiac/gluten free note: most items on their menu are naturally gluten free. Food breakdown: Tostones: thousand island type dressing or a green garlic. Mix them Mofongo w/ pork: sauce was fantastic, pork awesome, a ton of mofongo Mofongo w/shrimp: very garlicky... good if you like garlic Side salad came from the store with ranch. Good to offset the richness of the mofongo. Highly recommended!
(5)L P.
Food was great. Would go back. You could probably eat off the floor it was so clean! Plenty of seating. Menu is limited, but I figured that.
(4)Nhu M.
I hate leaving bad reviews but I had the worst service here. Servers only paid attention to their assigned tables and big groups. Service was super slow, even for a soda refill. Appetizer came out the same time as our meal which was 45mins after we ordered. Not good when the hanger kicks in. When I went, I guess the owner had his family there as well so the kids were going crazy on the drums. It was loud and uncomfortable because it made me feel out of place, especially when I'm barely getting any service. Other than that, the food was good when we finally got it. The place was descent with good parking and design inside.
(2)Ahriza M.
It was my first time trying mofongo and it had a good garlicky flavor. I was surprised that it worked together. The fired pork was just okay - it didn't leave a WOW impression with me; however, their yellow rice with peas...is AMAZING! The Bistec is good...the only complaint is that I wish there was more meat! The meat was super tender and flavor was tasty! I also tried the Coco Rico which is like coconut soda...it was different (it was great nor terrible), but it's not really for me. So why the 3 star only? The service is s...u...p...e...r s...l...o...w! When I entered the restaurant, there was a large group leaving. I understand that it could take some time to get things situated; however, it took like 10-15 minutes for someone to approach me to let me know. A few other staff saw me and didn't even bother to acknowledge me or the other customers that came after me. Then I was told to follow one of the workers (which I think was an owner) and then he got distracted with other people and forgot about me until he made eye contact. And when it came to paying, the lady said she would be back to pick up the payment, but after 10-15 minutes, I decided to just walk up front to pay. I left this place more wondering, what kind of customer service they have here...
(3)Darlina M.
The most difficult task for my husband and I coming from NY and moving to Arizona has been to find Caribbean food, Dominican, Puerto Rican, even Colombian. This place was a gem to find. You can call it a mom and pop kind of place, nothing fancy. We met the owner, very nice gentleman and pleaded with him to remain in business atleast until we went back to the east coast.
(4)Cathy C.
Delicious authentic food. Haven't has a bad dish yet. I do mostly take out cause I prefer to eat in a quieter setting...but it's definitely a cool little spot. Service can be iffy...but patience. Food is worth it. Plenty of parking, easy access. I highly recommend.
(4)Jacob E. G.
I came here just to get out and find these great restaurants. Found this place and thought I would give it a try. The place does represent the a lot of nations especially Puerto Rico with all the flags they hang up. The place does look nice with the bright colors around it. I had a waitress who did enhance the experience, she seemed sweet and kind. The chicken I ordered came out longer than it should have. The food here is excellent and I really love the flavoring it has. This is a good spot to settle down to get some food.
(4)Michelle B.
I loved the wall mural when I first walked in and the music playing in the background. I went to PR for the first time 2 yrs ago so the wall brought back some very fond memories. The waitress greeted us right away and service was quick. I thought the food was delicious - we had a sample plater and the pernil was a bit salty but still very tasty. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner before we left - very kind man and he shared some fun stories with us about his Puerto Rico vacations. I can't wait to go back with my friends so they can get a taste of Puerto Rican food.
(5)Graham W.
Good food, the service was shaky... Our server forgot our tostones until we were half way through our entrees and she brought the wrong shrimp dish, but apart from that it was great. The owner/manager apologized and took time to visit with us.
(4)Kim W.
Amazing food, great staff and nice atmosphere. We started off with delicious crispy beef & potato empanadas. I give those a 10. Next we had some beef stuffed plantains, those too were amazing. For main course we had two different shrimp dishes; one with garlic shrimp and a mashed plantain. The other dish was shrimp sautéed with onions, sofrito, peppers w/ rice & peas. Food was good, good, good!!!
(5)Victor P.
The food was very good. Coming from Las Vegas where there is no Puerto Rican food. It was nice to eat some authentic PR food. Would definitely come again next time I'm in the area.
(5)Mikey M.
Been here a few times and they've all been excellent dining experiences. They have the best pork in the valley hands down. Great ambiance and a sexy waitress lol.
(5)Ninfa C.
As you taste each bite, you close your eyes and remember people in your life that are no longer with you. I don't cook PR food and rarely cook Dominican food so imagine the pleasant surprise when the smell and taste takes you back. My husband turns to me and says, "Food is supposed to make you happy, not cry!" Will definitely be back.
(5)David R.
I read the reviews and mostly all were positive. There were a few comments about service and it appears that that is no longer the case. I was greeted immediately and seated. I came in during lunch and there were quite a few people. I ordered one of the special options....pernil, rice and beans. It came out super fast. It was very good. Pernil was a tad salty but very good. I will come again. Just a note to the Puerto Ricans out there and the PR food lovers. I've lived in AZ over 15 years and there have been a few attempts by people to open and run PR restaurants in the past. I want a good place to eat and a place to remind me of home and mom. If you slam the place on yelp without letting the ownership know your concern then you are damming the place and ensuring that it will not remain. Make sure that your comments are voiced to the ones that can make the changes and let's give them the support and chance to succeed.
(4)Dennis M.
Really good and authentic Puerto Rican restaurant. Tried the carne frita con mofongo, and it was really good. The carne frita was a little dry on the outside but really tender on the inside, just the way it was cooked in PR years ago. Most times people who try to cook it that way end up over cooking it and make them too dry inside and out. The mofongo was just perfect! Not too dry, not too soft; really flavorful with just the right amount of garlic flavor. Service was awesome, super friendly; it was our first time there and I we were treated like if we were long time clients. The prices are also really good and considering the portions size I got to say, pretty affordable. I gave them only four stars because we all ordered the same plate and I didn't have a chance to see or try anything else. Can't wait to go back and try something else!
(4)Katia R.
Great food!!!!! With truly Puertorican flavor!!! Clean facilities. However, the service is not good. Also, if you are not Puertorican, the menu may be confusing. If they could improve those two things, and be a little more friendly, I would give them a 5 star. Really good food (though very very garlicky!!!)
(4)Emanuel L.
Had the Mofongo with Carne Frita and it was delicious! Loved the very calm and relaxing environment.
(4)Jose V.
Everytime I come here I feel like I'm back home in Puerto Rico! Best carne frita around! Plus pasteles!
(5)Chinasa N.
Was looking for a different feel tonight so decided to go with a recommendation from a stranger. I've heard slot about mofongo but never tried it even when I visited Puerto Rico but it was great. I had Mofongo De Carne Frita and moscato to drink. Customer service was great! Chef came out o ask how our meal was and said I was missing something!! Brought me a side of chicken broth moisten my mofongo,. Fyi mofongo is smashed plantains with herbs & seasoning
(5)Tiffanie P.
I wanted to badly to love this place, but I didn't. I visited Puerto Rico and had wonderful food there. This place is not up to par. The service is good, and the owners are VERY nice. The food was overcooked and dry. I couldn't eat most of the mofongo because I couldn't swallow it because it was so dry. In 6 months or so, I might give them another try, and I will update my review then.
(2)Alan K.
Stood at the door for 15 minutes. Nobody bothered to help us or let us know what to do. Would have liked to try the food. Oh well.
(1)Jillian C.
Service is terrible. Food is okay, but we didn't even have an actual server. The manager (who is pleasant) took our order then after that got barely any service after our food was served. Not one server stopped to see if we needed anything, gave us a refill on our drinks, and most of all had to ask twice for our bill after waiting 40 minutes ! We were ready to walk out. We got an apology from the manager a couple times telling us they were slammed. They only had 3 other tables getting served. They need a much bigger staff if they consider that being slammed. If this was our first experience there I would give them the benefit of the doubt that they were having a bad day. But we came here previously a few months ago and had an almost identical experience. We didn't leave a tip because there was absolutely no service whatsoever. Never coming back here again .
(1)Yvonne G.
Delicious food. Garlicky mofongo with nicely fried pork to go with it. The alcapurrias were delicious but small. I am deducting one star for running out of chicken which my husband wanted since he doesn't eat pork or shrimp. Good service. Good luck guys on the restaurant. I had not been there since the prior place closed up. I see you haven't missed a step. Will go back soon.
(4)Tony P.
Authentic delicious food from Puerto Rico. Definitely have some tostones, empanadillas and wash them down with either a Malta India or a Coco Rico. That is just to start off. Then select any of the delicious meals on the menu. For dessert either a Flan or Tembleque. Great food and good environment.
(5)Gael S.
Loved this place. Great food and great mission -- to be the very best Puerto Rican restaurant in Phoenix.
(5)Victor D.
Went for late lunch today. Restaurant only had one waitress and two cooks on duty. Food was good but service was very bad. Also they only have can drinks so there are no refills. Bistec was a bit chewy as there was a lot of grizzle on it. Tostones were delicious big portions. May try it again someday.
(3)Jen L.
Had lunch with the hubby here and this place never disappoints. We live their food and the customer service is great! This place isn't in the best area but it's worth finding for sure! Pernil and mofongo are always good! Yum- plus lunch prices are great! Try and experience the taste of Puerto Rican cuisine!!!
(5)Carlos N.
Good Service. Great food. So grateful to have this place in Arizona, so far away from PR
(5)Ms. T.
My husband & I love this place. We came here before the new owners. But since the new owners, we have been there more frequently. Wesley, the owner, is an amazing person and this place is his baby! You can taste it in the food for sure! Family owned and operated so you know it's going to be amazing. It's the best Puerto Rican food in Phoenix, hands down. My husband always gets the mofongo y pernil with a side of garlic oil for the mofongo (likes to keep the vampires away I think). I like to change it up and get something diff each time. I love the chuletas, alcapurrias, and the ambience the most. We make it a point to come at least 2x/month but if it were up to me, it would be a daily visit. Thank you for your amazing service and food each time.
(5)Mel S.
Oh, where to start...3 of us stopped in for dinner. Place was busy, we were seated right away. Husband ordered a Blue Moon and was told they didn't have any oranges for garnish, he opted for a lemon. Our food took forever to arrive at our table. We ordered shredded pork, which was fatty....fried chicken, which was dry and stringy and included indistinguishable chicken parts. I saw a leg and a wing and then there were several things that looked like ....tails? I don't know. There wasn't much meat on most of it. I ordered white rice & beans and all I got was rice, no beans. My daughter ordered the grilled chicken and it arrived swimming in grease. It was disgusting...made her stomach hurt just looking at it. The "salad with every dinner" is a joke. It's more of a hefty garnish of iceberg lettuce with a token tomato slice on top. We did enjoy the fried plantains, my daughter loved the creamy sauce that came with them. That was the best thing of the whole meal. For $50 I could have found much better food elsewhere. Which is what I will do next time.
(1)Rose A.
Not very good service- one waitress and 2 cooks for the entire restaurant. So food took awhile and the waitress never checked on us or refilled our drinks. Was really excited to find puerto rican food in AZ and drove quite a bit to get here. The food is mediocre and the service is pretty non-existent. Had the mofongo camarones al aljillo and the mofongo wasnt a great texture- not like the mofongo I'm used to having. Plus it was pretty dry and tasted like nothing other than a lot of butter! The person I was with had the carne guisada and it tasted like it came out of a can. Definitely not worth the high prices they charge.
(1)Kimberly C.
Such a great experience! The owner was so friendly and the food was delicious! Great staff too! I definitely recommend this place!
(5)Michelle B.
Great find! The owner Wesley was very friendly and both service and food were top notch. I highly recommend.
(5)Tomas B.
Not only is the food authentic, the people are too! I ordered the mofongo with fried beef and I was in heaven. Half way through eating it one of the guys walks over and gives me a little caldo from the carne guisada he was making to put on my mofongo...dude that's something I have never experienced anywhere else except with family! After that I had to order a side of the arroz con gandules! With Hector Lavoe and Rey Ruiz in the background I felt like I was in a restaurant in Puerto Rico. I live in LA and this place is worth the 1 hour flight or 5 hour drive....YES....it's that good!! Check this place out...you'll see what it feels like for Puerto Ricans to visit family since that's how I felt when I was there...and it was my first time,
(5)Mildred Kitty R.
Well, we were sooo exited to go to an authentic Puertorican restaurant. We are from Puerto Rico so you can imagine how happy we were to find this place. I would not have given even one star to this place. But cannot post if I don't. My husband and I entered the restaurant, my son, his wife and two babies came in after us. There were quite a few customers. We just stood there, no one greeted us, there was no sign that said seat yourself, there was a chef that could see us from where he was, did not acknowledge us. Then out came a young man, with a tee shirt and a soiled rag on his shoulder. Pointed us to a table. A couple came in after us and were served drinks and given menus. We asked the young man if we could have menus, and he said he would look for some! He came back, took the other couple's order and we still were without menus. We got up and proceeded to leave. Not a sound from anyone, the server did not ask why we were leaving, or if there was anything wrong. No customer service at all. What a disappointment !!! Definitely, sadly, we will not return. Puertoricans are famous for being friendly and welcoming. None of that here!!
(1)H B.
One of my favorite places to eat! I always enjoy the food. My biggest complaints would be they never offer refills on drinks and the waitresses aren't the friendliest.
(4)David B.
Very uncomfortable experience. My visit was the only time I've ever walked out of a restaurant. Upon entering, there was nobody to greet us, so after standing for a minute or two, we grabbed our own menus and sat ourselves. Even though there were two servers and only six tables of people, nobody acknowledged us. No hello, no waters, nothing. After 22 minutes seated with no service, we left. My girlfriend is Puerto Rican and was dying to show me authentic food. We drove 45 minutes from south Chandler specifically to eat at the best place in Phoenix. She had been telling me about it all week, about specific things she'd get us. It's a shame that my first experience was so negative, but I'll have to try some of the other authentic options (closer to home.) I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Especially if you live in the East Valley.
(1)SD M.
Really enjoyed the food and family atmosphere. My four year old and grandmother wiped their dishes clean. We had the pork shoulder and garlic shrimp. They both took a while to come out (came out fresh). Overall great experience!
(5)Elisabeth F.
I'm literally eating their food right now, and I wish I had an endless buffet of it. They are catering a luncheon that I'm attending for work, and they brought with them the most insanely delicious beans I've ever eaten in my life! And trust me when I say that- I'm a bean connoisseur. I've never been to the restaurant, or even heard of them before this luncheon, but you better believe I just bookmarked this place to come back this weekend! My belly is fat and happy :)
(5)Jose P.
As soon as I heard that there was a puertorrican restaurant in Phoenix i knew i had to go as soon as possible to try it even though I reside in Tucson. Once you go in you forget you are in phoenix and will feel transported back to Puerto Rico. The place is really colorful and feels really familiar to being in the island of enchantment. I am used to Puertorrican food since I AM from Puerto Rico so my expectations were high enough. The food was average, not that bad, but not that good either. I had the Mofongo with Carne Frita and it was great, but my friends had the Bistec with rice and beans. There was barely any flavor in that steak (it was over cooked) and the beans were barren and not flavorful at all, even when mixed with the rice. When we asked for some of the beverages on the menu they told us they ran out of them ( coquito, malta India, kola champagne). The prices were a little too high for what we received. All in all, it was not a bad experience but not a great one either.
(3)Kim D.
I've been missing Puerto Rican food since I moved to the west coast 7 years ago. I am so happy that I found this place!! It feels like home the moment you walk in. If you are lucky enough to get the owner as your waiter he's very personable and it makes the experience awesome! I had the pasteles and the mofongo and my husband had the pernil. The food was perfectly prepared and we had plenty for leftovers the next day! They definitely run on Puerto Rican time, but relax - it's worth the wait!
(4)Mrs. O.
It was a pleasure to find a restaurant with great service, I decided that I will be a regular client. Thank you for the amazing food. I am on cloud nine.. Hope everyone gives this place a try...you won't regret it
(5)Jen C.
The food is authentic PR fare like mom makes it. The service isn't super fast, but c'mon- we are on island time here. We will be back for sure.
(4)Angelo F.
This little boricua is a little gem in Phoenix. It is very nondescript but the service was friendly and the food was very tasty and authentic. We will definitely return.
(5)Carlos N.
Good service and good food. Very very grateful to have this restaurant when I am so far from home
(5)Anjolii D.
Love this place! It's a little bit of home. The service is always friendly as well as the owner. And their mofongo with shrimp is amazing! Would go more often if it was closer.
(5)L C.
As I write this review I have to be upfront and admit that I have only been here twice for carry-out orders of Mofongo(mashed fried plantains in a broth with garlic). I cannot get past the Mofongo on the menu because it is so good! You can order it plain or with a variety of meats on the side. I have had the Chicharrones(marinated fried pork) which are so juicy and go well with the Mofongo. I will continue to come back and am promising my fellow Yelpers and myself to try other items on the menu! The staff is so friendly and will explain their menu. The restaurant is super clean and love the music playing that brings me back to my childhood when Mom and Dad are dancing while preparing our meals. Please continue to support this place or stop by and try it out for the first time for a new experience! I don't want this place disappearing.
(4)Jovencio D.
Realized I just had to start making reviews on this service because of a nasty food experience at this restaurant last week. This is my first Yelp review. I had something that tasted like overcooked mystery meat with mofongo at dinner here. Nothing really had much flavor and they only give you little sample size condiments one at a time. The real surprise came later. . . if you all know what I mean. This place is trying to pass itself off as some kind of authentic PR experience but it's just sub par to go food. Stay away from this place, your digestive system will thank you later.
(1)Nick N.
Puerto Rican food doesn't get much worse than this--and way way overpriced too! My spouse and I had lunch here on a Friday afternoon. I ordered the pork which was dry and flavorless, just like the yellow rice it was served with. He ordered the mofongo relleno carne asada, and although the mofongo itself was very edible, the carne asada was deep-fried to the point of being hard and flavorless. We also ordered a mixed appetizer plate to share, which was a big mistake as I could run down to the grocery store and get frozen items out of a box that are far more tasty. I felt at one point like I was eating leftovers out of someone's fridge. I did appreciate that both the dining room and bathroom were clean. But frankly, just about amateur cook could make better food than we were served at PR Bar and Grill. Their prices are pretty proud for some pretty disrespectable food.
(1)Pebbles A.
I'm puerto Rican and was so happy to find a Puerto Rican restaurant moderately close to where I live. I usually go to Mili's Cafe all the way out in Mesa but found this place that was much closer. They do not have any customer service experience whatsoever. Don't expect to be seated when you enter just grab a seat. Is a constant hassle trying to flag down the waitress for a refill or a little more mayoketchup. It takes forever to get anything in this place. It takes forever to receive a menu, it takes forever to get a drink after you get your menus, and it takes forever for the food to come out. And the food doesn't even come out in order or at the same time. Is very disappointed because I love Puerto Rican food. The food itself is OK the pernil was super dry. if service was better than this place would be the shit.
(2)Mrs. C.
It was like being at home with my Mami cooking traditional Puerto Rican food. Of course I had to peak at the Chef and to my surprise she looked like a teenager. She did the damn thing... no better way to describe it. The flan.... geez... don't forget to order you some flan! And the staff... I swear it was like being back in NY with family.
(5)Mike A.
Amazing food! I live Mexican food, but Puerto Rican food.... Wow! Try the pernil and empanadas! Malta Goya and flan was great too! Definitely coming back with friends!
(5)Melissa W.
Eating here was like having dinner with family or friends - thanks to the owners and servers! I came in from Houston to hire and train new volunteers for our non-profit organization. The next incentive we are offering volunteers is a trip to Puerto Rico so I wanted to get them in the mood by going to a Puerto Rican restaurant. The food was good (appetizers are crazy cheap! So we got one of each) but service even better - they treated us like royalty. Ben broke out the guitar and sang to us and Wesley and Ben even got us dancing before we left. We'll go back and take more friends.
(4)Marjon A.
Awesome place! Great tasting food at great prices. Will definitely recommend this place. This is the only place I have had that tastes just like my moms! Try the pernil with yellow rice. The flan is also to die for!
(5)Joe S.
Why have Pasteles on the menu and then not have them.
(3)Amy O.
Food is great- full of flavor and reminds me of living in New York. The service, on the other hand is really lacking. At times, the restaurant will be closed without notice and there is no answering machine when calling. It is frustrating to want pernil and attempt calling for over an hour, just to drive down and realize they are closed (no sign- just locked doors). I love the tostones, pernil, arroz con gandules, but eveything seems to run on island time, instead of NYC speed.
(3)Tricia E.
I used a groupon here and the food was pretty good. I probably would not go here again unless I had a discount or coupon though. The steak was awesome.
(3)Dez O.
I recently moved from Bronx NY to Arizona withmy husband and kids. I tell you I was so stressed out, I was upset and having a tantrum that their were no puerto rican resturants. I was in furiated til one day i made it my mission to find a resturant no matter how far it was. I found Puerto Rico Bar and Grill online just googling. I decided thats where i was going to go. So my entire family went and my father who is a native from PR loved the place. The food was amazing I mean i didnt feel as home sick. Now all I need is to find a salsa club, with my salseras im not no pro but I love my salsa music. I am still adjusting to Arizona. its been 7 months.
(5)Antonia M.
This a great place great food and great service I love it!
(5)Chel M.
Walked in Saturday evening expecting a great meal. I was recommended to thiz place by a born and raised nuyorican. Reviews show food is phenomenal. Unfortunately I can't agree. We waited at the front door for about 10 minutes and nobody greeted us. The three people in the kitchen kept looking out at us but never nodded or offered any type of acknowledgement. As everyone already seated stared at us waiting to be seated, I noticed every single one of the 8 tables did not have food. Needless to say, after 10 more agonizing minutes of waiting at the front door, 10 we left.
(1)Micheal B.
Thanks to Yelp my wife and I have been trying a new restaurant each weekend. This weekend we tried Puerto Rico Latin Bar & Grill. We were very impressed with the quality and taste of the food. We had the Mofongo Carne Frita (mashed plantains with fried pork chunks) and Tostones Al Mojo (twice fried plantain chips with garlic sauce). They were delicious. We had Flan for desert, AWSOME. The restaurant was a true treasure to find. The owner came to the table and we had a great chat. This place was very clean and the food was very affordable. We will be going back very soon.
(5)Erica N.
I moved from orlando, Florida and was really missing the cultural food experience that you could find anywhere. After trying this restaurant, hands down it beats any place I've tried before. I no longer miss my orlando spot. The portions are very generous and the price is reasonable. Anything you order will explode in flavor on your first bite. Sofrito is made from scratch and any dish you order will be satisfying. To top it all off the service is genuine and exceptional! The owner sat us down, and the server vicki was more than pleasant. She is very personable and overall it was a fun experience. It is like stepping into the island itself! If you are looking for a genuine latin experience you must stop in.
(5)Diana M.
In my opinion, this is is the best Puerto Rican restaurant that I have had so far in the United States!!! The pernil and pork chops were so tasty and well seasoned! The bacalao and guneos guisado were great and made me feel like I was right in Puerto Rico again:) It really took me back home!!! Great food!..A treasure here in Phoenix! Glad I came:)
(5)Eugene T.
I love this place the food is the real deal. I will be back and Liz is a great waitress. The chicken was great the rice was perfect. I'm home sick for Tampa but this spot makes things easier
(5)Antonio L.
I'm hoping the visit was a fluke. Got seated on a slow Sunday for lunch with family. Had to wait 15-20 min to put in our drink order. Had to rush and do the food too, since we weren't sure when we would see the waitress next. Staff was somewhat nice but lackadaisical to the point of annoyance. Sad when I left, mostly due to service.

Went there for lunch today with a friend. The place was empty except for us and I don't really understand why. We ordered a couple appetizers to share. My favorite was the fried plantains. I ordered the Pernil which is a slow roasted pork dish and I had the yellow rice with it. It also came with a side salad which is a nice touch. The pork was delicious although it didn't seem to have as much flavor as it did the first time I came. Also there was some fat in it that I had to scrape out. It wasn't a lot but enough for me to mention it here. My friend ordered the fried chicken and yellow rice. She enjoyed it and said she would definitely come back. I love that they have the Coco Rico soda to drink. This is a coconut flavored soda that I really like. I can't speak to the authenticity of the food as I am not an expert on Puerto Rican food but I can say it's delicious and I'll definitely be back!
