Now let's get to the best part.... The FOOD is insanely good. The Cuban sandwich is by far my favorite in Miami. The perfect blend of juicy and crispy, the pork is perfectly seasoned and they don't skimp as you can see in the pics. The plating on every meal is above and beyond and much better than most Michelin star restaurants I've been to.

The person taking our order was friendly and gave us a heads up that the chicken had a decent amount of heat, which I appreciated. Food took a little time to come out, but everything arrived fresh and hot. The burger was juicy without being messy, and the habanero chicken had good flavor beyond just spice. What stood out most was how relaxed the atmosphere felt even during the dinner rush. Staff stayed attentive and kept checking on tables without hovering too much. It felt like a solid local place people actually return to often.

Found this gem while in Homestead, FL. Located on a corner near Krome. This is a Puerto Rican…read morerestaurant with all the best Puerto Rican fare! It's decorated in typical hibaro fashion (iykyk). There is both indoor and outdoor seating. There is street parking and I think you might be able to park behind the restaurant. We couldn't figure out how to get there...lol. The service was friendly and the waitress gave great suggestions. For our appetizer we had the Alcapurria's. They were sooooo good! For my main, I had the El Yunque Burger. It was delicious! Had everything but the kitchen sink in it but the combo worked! There was even mofongo in the burger. My fiance had the El Pork Belly tapa with Truffle fries. The El Pork Belly was scrumptious! Fell off the bone with tostones or fried green plantains ( for my English speaking folks). The Truffle fries were also very good. I can't recommend this place enough! Go there when in Homestead. You won't regret it!

Food is outstanding. Alcapurias were on point and the Mofongo was delicious! Will be back for more!read more

And he is truly a chicken nugget/tender connoisseur. Authentic Puerto Rican food with great flavor. The other little one is not usually a fan of beans but these beans were a hit with her and she cleaned her plate. Want to come back and try the monfongo and other PR specialties. Highly recommend.

A Puerto Rican coworker told me Coqui by Tayta's in Homestead was the best Puerto Rican food he'd…read morehad outside of Puerto Rico. That's a bold claim. Turns out, he was right. My wife and I both ordered mofongo, mine with bistec encebollado, hers with chicharrón de pollo. The mofongo was garlicky, hearty, and soaked up the rich broth like a sponge. The steak and onions were pure comfort food, while the crispy chicken skin shattered with every bite. This isn't fancy food. It's food made with care, tradition, and a clear love for Puerto Rican culture. If you're driving through South Florida on your way to the Keys, make this stop. A taste of Puerto Rico without leaving Florida.

We got a sampler platter that included some croquetas, plantain chips, tamal, fried pork chunks, and fried shrimp. Zero complaints about anything! So so good. My main was the Sopa de Res, which was a hearty soup. The serving size was gigantic. I actually took most of it back with me and it made two more meals. There were lots of root vegetables, slow cooked beef still on the bone, a side of rice and corn. My dad got a huge Cuban sandwich that he also ate on for days and my mom had empanadas, which I finished off for a third meal. We also went back for pie. That was ok - it was extremely rich and kind of pricy at $13 a slice. I also tried their Cortadito and took it to go. Great coffee as well. Highly, highly recommend eating here. The decor is fun and the wait staff super nice and patient with all our questions. They also have a separate ice cream shop across the parking lot.

My husband ordered a Cuban sandwich with French fries cooked to perfection in clean oil, and I had grilled chicken (pechuga à la Blanche) with beans, rice, and sweet plantain, along with cilantro sauce. The portion sizes are very generous and we each had leftovers for another whole meal. We will definitely be back! I also appreciated that the suggested tip amount started at 15%. We left more, but too many restaurants have the suggested tip amounts much too high. Do look at the menu item pricing, as some dishes were $75+. It may have been due to portion size as well as ingredients.
