    Mofongo, carne frita

    Finally a Puerto Rican Restaurant that taste like home. The owner & his staff are Top Shelf "Wepaa" it's A Must Try!! Clean & Soft Latin tunes so you can speak, the serving could be a bit larger but I will take it knowing what I have had to endure here in Jacksonville.

    I would like to highlight my wonderful experience at El Flamboyan. My second time visiting the Flamboyan restaurant. The food had exceptional flavor and quality, and the service was both timely and efficient. The waitresses were extremely courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The décor was tasteful, and the cleanliness of the restaurant--including the restrooms and dining area--was very evident and greatly appreciated. The atmosphere was warm, family-friendly, and pleasant. The chef was also very attentive. After we shared our praise with the waitress, he personally made himself available to thank us, which was a thoughtful touch. We were truly impressed by the delicious flavors and beautiful presentation of each dish. We are already planning to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our family at El Flamboyan

    Coconut flan.

    Absolutely Incredible - Two Visits Back-to-Back! Our first visit was nothing short of excellent. I had the shrimp with trifongo made with sweet fried plantains -- every bite was packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. For dessert, I tried the coconut flan, and OMG... it tasted just like my mom used to make! So authentic, rich, and not overly sweet. Everything was seasoned beautifully -- you could taste the spices without them overpowering the dish. It was so good, I couldn't stay away and found myself back the very next day! This time, I ordered the churrasco steak cooked medium, served with black beans, yellow rice, and fried plantains. Absolutely out of this world. The steak was tender, cooked to perfection, and topped with a mouthwatering chiasso that brought everything together. Everything was clean, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time

    Arroz con pollo

    Ordered arroz con pollo. So flavorful. Did not disappoint at all! Red beans are also incredible. I'm glad I decided to try something new tonight.

Service was not great, they tell you to grab a menu and seat yourself, which was fine but the lady at the front seemed busy and couldnt greet us. Juices tasted watered down, rice tasted almost like it was old. The only great thing here was the steak and the deep fried pork, otherwise we will not be back but this place has potential if they provide better service and keep consistency in their food.

My very first visit brought back fun foodie memories when visiting Puerto Rico several times and eating many homemade dishes when I lived In NJ. My favorite Latin sounds could be heard while outside of the restaurant and more so upon entering. The interior decor was spacious and made me feel like I was away on vacation in P.R. Staff was welcoming and friendly. The owner helped make me feel at home and was super professional. Then came the food and my refreshing non-alcoholic drink. My appetizer was a lobster empanada...Oh my how yummy! One of the lunch specials of the day was a Chinese Puerto Rican fusion style fried rice platter. My choice of protein was the popular fried pork chunks. French fries and an egg roll were included in the platter. Another popular favorite condiment was the "Mayo-Ketchup" sauce that one can drizzle on the food and as much as you please! To help wash down and add a nice sweet balance to the food, I ordered the "Guayaba" fruit juice. Fruity and tropical taste of its own. I skipped breakfast knowing that this visit would require some nice portions to enjoy. I was right and very pleased with the overall taste of the food. If you haven't had Latin food from the Caribbean then hopefully you'll consider visiting Flavorikan and try some of their cuisine. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

There was no line so I went up to look at the menu to see if anything interested me. I ended up getting the sampler ($12) which came with a taco and an empanada along with rice. I asked the owner for a suggestion with regard to the meat in the taco and he said that he recommended the pulled pork taco and a beef empanada. So that's what I ordered. I also added a side of plantains ($5). When I opened up the container, it looked pretty simple. My expectations honestly we're not that high. But, when I bit into the taco, I knew I was dealing with something pretty exceptional. The smoke on the pork was fantastic and the cilantro lime sauce added an additional layer of flavor along with the pico. I was definitely impressed. The pork was better than most of the barbecue restaurants around town. The beef empanada was also very good. The meat was well seasoned and very moist. While the plantains were a little dark for me and not as soft as I usually like them, I wasn't disappointed with them. I did find the mix of ketchup and mayo a little odd as a dipping sauce for the plantains. They didn't need it so I didn't use it. The portions here were sizable - the empanada and taco were stuffed with meat. The owners were very friendly as they took my order and the wait time was very short. All of this, in addition to the wonderful flavor of the food made this a five-star truck experience. This was definitely a better option than what I was originally planning to eat!
