It seems simple but the flavor was so delicious! Definitely very filling if you can manage to finish your plate. Very generous portion for sure for the price. We did have to box over half up between two plates. This meal really can hold you over all day. The signature drink, Morir Sonando means "to die dreaming" and is a signature Dominican drink. I have seen it on food shows in the past and has been a must try for a while. It is basically orange juice/ milk/ cane sugar sprinkled with cinnamon over the top. Think liquid creamsicle for us American pallets. Served ice cold. It really is heaven in a glass. While I have never had it before today, this was perfection. The staff is also very friendly and that makes it even better. I look forward to visiting again and trying more because the menu looks delicious.

Sound the alarms, we've got a new local business alert! Maw's Country Kitchen is located in a tiny…read morestrip mall on Blanding Blvd., across from Vystar Credit Union. They're serving up down-home country breakfast and brunch eats, all made from scratch. It's a cozy establishment (7 tables, 2 outdoor tables, and 3 counter seats), yet not at all cramped. Although they've been open for less than a year, i could immediately tell that Maw's has earned its share of regulars, with customers and staff addressing one another by first name. The character of the restaurant is as the name suggests...the sights, the sounds, the aromatic fragrances of southern delights such as fried chicken and smothered pork chops wafting from the kitchen...all reminiscent of a family meal at Grandma's house. Noms: Going back and forth between the breakfast and lunch menus, I decided to go with the open-face meatloaf sandwich meal, with mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese as my sides. The tender meatloaf was dressed in a rich, brown gravy and was absolutely divine. The red-skinned mashed potatoes and luscious baked mac-n-cheese were the perfect accompaniments to the main course. I couldn't help but notice the dessert case calling to me from across the room, so I snuck over and took a couple of pics before i ordered a generous slice of carrot cake to take home and devour while marathoning "The Queens Gambit." How was it? To sum it up...addicting and i want more. The carrot cake was equally fabulous. Stop by Maw's Country Kitchen and show some love and support to one of the newest additions to our local business scene! The staff greeted every customer with smiles and warmth, so thumbs up to them, and a big thank you! Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, thanks for reading, SUPPORT your local businesses, and till next time...SYOY!

PALERMO PUERTO RICAN... UN AMOR PROHIBIDO…read more Ay, Dios mío... I walked into Palermo Puerto Rican in Florida thinking I was simply going to have dinner. Pero NO. What happened that day was something much more dangerous... I fell in love. I ordered the Christmas Plate, and the moment it arrived at the table, I froze. Pork. Arroz con gandules. Pasteles. Plátanos maduros. I whispered... "No puede ser..." One bite, and suddenly I wasn't in Florida anymore. I was back in Puerto Rico during Las Navidades. I could almost hear the coquí, the music, the laughter of family, and somebody in the distance yelling, "¡Dale, que llegó la comida!" The pork was tender and full of flavor. The arroz con gandules tasted like Christmas memories on a plate. The pasteles... AY, LOS PASTELES! I wasn't emotionally prepared. And those sweet plátanos maduros came into my life like the forbidden lover my mother warned me about. I looked at my plate and said: "¡¿POR QUÉ?! ¿POR QUÉ TUVE QUE CONOCERTE AHORA?" Because this wasn't dinner anymore. ESTO ERA AMOR PROHIBIDO. Every bite brought back memories of Puerto Rican Christmases--the food, the family, the music, the alegría, the traditions. It was nostalgia, happiness, heartbreak and romance all served on one plate. And when the last bite was gone... I stared at the empty plate like the final scene of a telenovela. "No te vayas... todavía tenemos una vida juntos." Palermo Puerto Rican, you didn't just feed me. You took me home. And now our love may be complicated... it may be dangerous... it may even be forbidden... PERO VOLVERÉ. Because some loves are simply too powerful to forget. ¡QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO, QUE VIVA LA NAVIDAD... Y QUE VIVA ESTE AMOR PROHIBIDO!

I am a novice in espanol but I know enough to order my food, I ask the young lady for a split plate I wanted half goat and half steak, she gave me two different meals with two different rice, the brighter orange rice is hard and crispy like it's been exposed to hot air and dried out. The portion size is what got me upset at $14.50 and $18+ dollars I don't expect to see any gaps on my plate, these plates had more rice than anything. That really got under my skin. I will be taking a break from here and find another option because food is costly for remedial service and portion sizes. 2/5 stars today.
