I love Caribbean food, especially Puerto Rican and Dominican food. It has been hard to find any spots in SF so I was so excited when I walked by this place one day and had to come try it! I ordered the mofongo and the lechon con arroz. Both were arguably the best I have had in the bay. The mofongo was delicious and juicy with the pork in the middle and the sauce was tasty. The lechon was also delicious and seasoned so well. Additionally we received very friendly service from the staff at the restaurant. Cannot recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to try Puerto Rican/Dominican food! read more

If you're walking along 24th St and looking for a delicious meal, I recommend checking this place out! I stopped by for lunch on the weekend and was surprised that this place was so empty because I've had multiple friends rave about this spot before. I started with a guava lemonade, which was super tasty and refreshing. For food, I tried the mofongo and the ropa vieja. The mofongo (with pork shoulder) was definitely the highlight of the meal - highly recommend ordering it! The mashed green plantains were absolutely delicious paired with the veggie sauce, and the texture of the plantain bowl was perfect. The ropa vieja was great too, and I especially enjoyed how tender and flavorful the beef was. Service was excellent as well, and I liked the friendly neighborhood vibe of the place. read more

El Nuevo Frutilandia - Mofongo! Nice and crispy which I don't think I have had it so good. - Latin American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Had this in my collections list as a "want to try" after seeing it on Diners, Dives and Drive Ins. We ordered the empanadas which were the best I've ever had. Everyone always seems to get excited about empanadas but I could never see the reason. This spot gives you a reason to be excited about them. I enjoyed the beef one the best but I am a carnivore at heart so maybe that's why. The chicken tasted like the same as the pollo dish ordered and the veggie just tasted like veggie. Loved the beef (5/5) as the outside of the empanada was crisp but the inside still fluffy. Yum! Happy hour until 6:30 so what a deal! The taro chips were also spot on cuz they were light and crisp and lightly salted. Tastes way better than the fake ones you buy in a bag at the supermarket. Also ordered this during happy hour so the price was reasonable. The rest of the dishes were okay but nothing that made me feel like I have to return for. The meats were tender but it had been simmering in a big pot in the back and it's not freshly simmered. Maybe all the dishes have to be made this way so I don't really want to mark them down too much. The cook was super sweet and kept smiling at us. The cashier seemed a bit frazzled but was also really nice. It's a nice little friendly spot that I'd stop in for happy hour. read more

I am originally from the New York City area and am Puerto Rican in background. When I moved here to San Francisco, one of the first things I did was look for any Puerto Rican restaurants. Caribbean restaurants are tough to find here so I was initially skeptical when I found this spot in the heart of the Mission. Oh my God, El Nuevo Fruitlandia blew us away. I took my family and everything we ordered was authentic and delicious. You can tell that the owners love what they do because you feel it in the food. Definitely check it out! read more

There seem to be so many hidden gems on 24th. When my friend found out that this restaurant was featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, we knew we had to try it out. We ordered: * Ceviche Mixto: a refreshing starter with shrimp, fish, and a mango and jicama salsa. We ordered the taro chips on the side (+$3.50). * Tostones: crispy, smashed, and fried green plantains. They were SO crispy and the garlic sauce on the side added a nice flavor addition. * Lechon Horneado: roasted pork marinated in a garlic, achiote seasoning blend. We swapped the white rice with arroz con gandules (+$2.50). When we initially arrived at the restaurant around 7 pm on a Thursday evening, there was no one else inside, and it took a while for the server to recognize us. But he quickly came over once he realized and was friendly, recommending the main dish for us when we couldn't decide. I'd come back here just for the experience of the food alone - it was delicious! read more

The food is okay and the portions are decent. What I did not like is that they will charge you for every little thing. Besides the plate that you order, even if it says that rice and other things come with the plate... they will still charge you separately for those items. So whatever you order from their menu (which you have to do via an app on your phone when you sit down... expect to pay 20%-50% more. And they did not tell me this beforehand until the bill came and I saw the additional charges. AND another charge was the 4% credit card fee which they should tell you about beforehand as well, and not try to sneak in more charges as they also did with the additional items that should come with the dish. The place was completely empty for a Saturday night, perhaps because of how they charge people extra money. I do not recommend. read more

Went there upon review from DDD's , and was disappointed in everything from the get go. Waited 30 minutes after listed opening time to have been met by a barely awake semi sober woman who was bothered we are there. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and mofongo and was not impressed the sandwich was dry the bread stale and the mofongo, was only slightly better. Sorry pass on next trip to the city by the bay read more

Hmmmm...nice little place that had a good server and casual ambiance. Our server gave us the front window table which was nice. We wanted to start with sangria but were informed that because they were busy earlier that they were out? It is only alcohol offered there! Ok well we ordered and I had never had Puerto Rico national dish of mufango so I ordered it. It was just ok. It felt like they prepared it all at the opening and then just heated it up when customers order it? We got our appetizer fast and it also felt heated up not fresh and then entrees came five minutes later also heated a bit. Sorry I probably won't go again as I appreciate the service but the food just wasn't that interesting or fresh! read more

I got the Frutilandia combo plate and it was sooooo good! Everything was freshly made and tasting. All veggie too! It includes sweet plantains, green plantains (tostones), yucca fries, taro chips, and an empanada of your choice. I had never tried their sauces before, but I loved them! One is a garlic citrus sauce (mojo de ajo) and it was my favorite! The other was a sriracha spicy cream sauce. Both complimented the food very well. Next time I'd like to try their mofongo (veggie) since it was on the Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives show. read more

El Nuevo Frutilandia - FRUTILANDIA COMBINATION PLATTER - Latin American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I discovered this restaurant during Black Restaurant Week and I am so glad that I did! While el Nuevo Fruitlandia has an unassuming appearance, the looks and flavors of each dish are quite the opposite -- bold and beautiful. We started with the veggie mofongo and yuca frito. The garlic, onions, and peppers gave the mofongo a predominantly savory flavor but it had a lovely sweet undertone from the plantains. The flavors were rich and comforting. The fried plantains offered a subtle crunch while the interior was soft and chewy. Absolutely delicious. The yucca frito was a bit dry, but the flavors were right. The citrusy dipping sauce had a great flavor, but was very liquidy and took away from the crunch of the fried exterior. If I were to do it again, I'd pass on the yucca frito. The Ropa Vieja exemplified Caribbean flavors. It was not spicy, but was incredibly well spiced. The dish was almost stew-like and sat upon a brothy, tomato-y, pool. The braised, shredded, steak was succulent and tender. The meal was very meat heavy -- not a bad thing, just something to know before ordering. Oh my gosh the flan. Absolute perfection. The caramelized top was spot on and the texture was unbeatable. It was one of the best pieces of flan I've ever had. read more

The food was good, but I am not satisfied with the entire experience. We were going to use 10% Yelp coupon I got when I checked in, the waiter told me she doesn't know how to add that, so basically you need to pat the full amount. I was like WHAT??? My friend who was treating us dinner said it was fine. He paid and tipped well. Then we ordered some food to go. They messed up the order and mixed beef and vegetarian fried dumplings ( I forget what it is called). The waiter who doesn't know how to apply the coupon apologized several times, BUT the other lady was so impolite, and kept say that's why we don't do mixed. Anyway, the food is fine, but the experience is not. read more

I've been to a few Caribeño restaurants in SF and I like this place best. This is a Cuban/Puerto Rican restaurant and for those of you who don't know there has always been a friendly rivalry among Cuban, Puerto Rican and Dominicans in regards to cuisine. I'm Puerto Rican so of course I might be a little biased but I think Puerto Ricans do comida criolla best. Dominicans go a little too buck wild (cow lung and candied habichuelas?) while Cubans think a roast pork/ham/swiss cheese sandwich is gourmet (I tease, I tease!). I think you can never go wrong with a mix of tostones, pasteles, yuca con bacalao, arroz con habichuelas and mofongo. This place has excellent mofongo with arroz con habichuelas. My only complaint is that they don't have tembleque. It's been years since I've had tembleque. read more

Jessica greeted us and served our table with a big smile and great recommendations; great customer service! The Mofongo con Lechón was delicious, the meat was so tender and I haven't tasted a Mofongo that good since my trip to Puerto Rico in June. My kiddo had the arroz con pollo and she couldn't stop mentioning how amazing it was, she's normally a picky eater, not this time, too good to pass up. Great Service + Delicious food = Definitely going back! read more

First off, I travel the world trying new foods and cuisines . I love the fact that the restaurant is family owned and operated, but the food was not tasty nor was it flavorful. For starters, my order was made incorrectly twice. The Puerto Rican rice was dry, overcooked, and lacked flavor. The sauce used for the tostones and yucca fries fries was just sour and tasted like Italian salad dressing. I did enjoy the yucca frita fries, but unfortunately not enough to bring me back to this restaurant. read more

Infuriating! As a born and raised Cuban living in Bay Area I feel offended. How dare you try to pass this junk as our food? My review: -vaca frita- it's supposed to be on the crunchier side and flavorful, this dish is chewy, flavorless and impossible to swallow, imagine swallowing a ball of plastic. -arroz con pollo: main word is chicken, it should have it... this dish has a minimal amount of tasteless chicken, rice is mushy. -tostones:it should be double fried crunchy green plantains, this dish used sweeter plantains that were not properly fried resulting in sogginess and sweeter flavor rather than salty, pathetic. -guava pastries: OMG! Lacks any tangible amount of guava and they were at least 2 days old !! STALE ! Seriously?! - Mojo sauce: it was water with lemon and oil flavor, disgusting. -mango and passion fruit juice: neither mango or passion fruit, some sort of sugary liquid that made me diabetic just by looking at it. -yuca fries: the ONLY properly cooked item. Is the food edible? Yes if you lack standards. Is this cuban food? Resounding NO Should you eat this? Absolutely NOT I need a Miami trip ASAP :( read more

This is a cute neighorhood spot in the Mission with a lot of Puerto Rican and Cuban flavor for decoration. Clearly the owners have a lot of pride in their culture which is great! My friend and I made a reservation for Friday night at 7 pm two days earlier, but we really didn't need it as it was mostly empty when we arrived and was never too full the entire time we were there. We started with a carafe of their rose guava sangria ($22), enough for about 2 glasses per person. I didn't really taste the guava but it was good sangria. I just wish the diced apple pieces didn't all float at the top of the carafe. My friend poured first and she got all of the apple pieces which just sat floating in her glass as she didn't want it. We shared the picadillo (i.e. Cuban ground beef) empanadas for $9 and these were delicious. A great start to the meal. However, the rest of my meal was quite disappointing. They have three house specialties, and after reading raving reviews about their lechon horneado ($16.50) on Yelp, I decided to try that. It's a Puerto Rican dish with slow roasted pork marinated in garlic and pineapple, served with arroz con gandules (Puerto Rican rice). I don't know if they were having an off night but my lechon was really dry and bland. The top layers of the lechon already didn't have much flavor, and by the time I got to the bottom half, it was completely bland. I hate dry meat and had a really hard time getting through even half of the dish. I almost never leave food on my plate (always try to take it home if I can't finish), but I could only finish half and didn't have the heart to bring the rest home. My friend took a bite and agreed. She got the mofongo and really enjoyed that though. read more

*short review but I'll be updating when I eat here again* Got delivery via yelp on a Friday night. They had a cool looking storefront and awesome menu so my friends and I made a spontaneous choice to eat here (also we love cuban food!). We ordered the mango salad, plantains, chile relleno with mixed veggie filling, and their tres leches cake. Order was ready in under 30 minutes. When we picked it up we were informed by the very polite person working that they had to make some changes to the salad due to a shortage. It was all handled really well and I appreciated the clarity. As for the food itself, it all looked really good and was pretty tasty. The tres leches cake was a hit and the plantains were good, though I didn't really get any of the kahlua flavor and they were a little underripe. Chile relleno was also good but the rice (which is supposed to be just plain white rice) was odd and not like typical white rice. A bit confusing there. In any case will definitely going back to try other classic dishes like the ropa vieja and mofongo, as well as their super tasty sounding sangria! read more

The ropa vieja and picadillo are a little heavy-handed on the cumin seasoning, however, overall, the dishes are solid and tasty. What stood out the most was their sweet plantains (maduros) which were perfect. My only criticism was the price per dish. At those prices, the black beans should be included with the entree. I don't mind having to pay a la carte for the plantains. read more

Had never tried Cuban food before so thought I would try Fruitlandia. The Shrimp Camarones were yummy - cooked perfectly with a tangy sauce. The veggie empanadas were crispy, light and HUGE. The yuca fries were crispy and thick cut with a nice tangy dipping sauce. The chicken mofongo was tasty, but it was really dense and a little hard to cut through. I am no mofongo expert, but I saw it was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives so I was eager to try it. It was not my favorite, but I would definitely order the shrimp and empanadas again. Overall, the food was enjoyable although very rich. Looking forward to trying their other dishes!! read more

What an incredible experience at this restaurant! We had a birthday celebration with 18 guests, which was planned very last minute. The staff was very friendly and easy to work with, from the coordinating of the event to the actual dinner service. From the moment I stepped through the front door I felt like I had teleported to the Caribbean. The salsa music playing in the background made me want to move my body. The colors and decor really warmed up the place in a beautiful way. The food was deliiiishhh, authentic Cuban and Puerto Rican cuisine. The Vaca Frita plate had to be the favorite. Considering that we were such a large party, the food and drinks were prepared and brought out at the perfect pace. The portions were large, so plenty of leftovers. Thank you for making my birthday extra special! read more

I'm a fan of this place. Puerto Rican food on 24th Street. This was for a take out order. We didn't call ahead, but we waited outside and the food was done quickly and ready for us. We ordered Chicken in Creole Sauce (excellent flavor and delicious), shredded steak (which was plentiful and also had a good, slow-cooked flavor), and a side of yucca frita. The online menu has photos of what everything is, so if you're not sure of something check it out or ask. The staff there are friendly and helpful. We ended our meal with a piece of tres leches cake. It was the perfect kind of moist, and fantastic. Light and rich at the same time. How do they do that? All in all a very good meal. read more

I just ordered food via Doordash and was not disappointed one bit. We ordered a few entrees and tapas to share. In my opinion, the standout dish was the camarones al creole! This is shrimp with squash and a little kick of spice. It's paired with white rice, but if you want to upgrade it to Puerto Rican rice then by all means do so. I would say that I prefer a flakier crust for an empanada. Nonetheless, the dough was good and the filling was even better. You can choose from chicken, beef, or veggie. We chose beef this time around, and are looking forward to trying chicken or veggie next time. My favorite part of the meal has got to be the dessert or to some it's a tapa in itself. It's actually....... *drumroll please*...... sweet plantains!!!! *chefs kisses* read more

I was living in this hood for eight years and I've been wanting to try this place. After moving to the outer mission I finally came back and tried this place. It is so cute, it made me feel like i was out of town with all the decor. Great staff and service. we asked Jessica ( our waitress) to surprise us with some dishes and it did not disappoint. Everything was super delicious that we will be coming back for more to try other dishes. On top of it all the taro chips were home made and so yum. Surprisingly they only had a few people there. Id definitely recommend this place and after eating you can take a stroll down 24th street. read more

Este mensaje es directamente a los dueños de este restaurante. Ayer May 7 entre a las 7-7:30 de la noche mi familia y yo y estuvimos en su restaurante. No somos del área pero teníamos muchas ganas de comer comida puertorriqueña. En el momento que entramos, en el restaurante había solo una mesa ocupada con dos personas. La única chica que vimos en ese momento ni siquiera nos dio la bienvenida si no que de una manera no muy educada nos señaló a donde sentarnos. En ese momento la verdad no pensé nada de su poca educación así que nos sentamos. Acá es cuando empezamos a preguntarnos qué es lo que está pasando porque empiezan a pasar minutos y minutos y nadie viene a nuestra mesa. Les llegan dos clientes más, se sientan y tampoco ninguna atención. Mientras tanto la chica que nos ubicó donde estaba la mesa lo único que hacía es caminar de un lado a otro en el area donde está el bar. Atrás de ese bar hay otra chica al parecer ocupada haciendo algo. Luego sale un hombre que finalmente pensamos que iba hacer nuestro mesero, empiezan a hablar con la primera chica y luego el se desaparece y ella se regresa atrás de la barra mirando a lo que pareciera desde nuestra mesa un celular. Para esto los clientes que llegaron un poquito después de nosotros se cansaron de esperar y se fueron. Nunca las atendieron. Unos minutos después, yo me paré y le fui a preguntar a la chica quien nos iba a atender, y para mi sorpresa me dijo que ella y en un tono fuerte me dijo que ya iba para nuestra mesa. Yo le digo que ya estamos listos para ordenar y con un tono más fuerte me dijo que ya me había dicho que nos iba a atender. En ese momento fue cuando yo me moleste y le dije que clase de servicio era ese...? Y su respuesta fue que estaba ocupada en lo que era como un tablet no celular. Y que prácticamente cuando terminará nos atendía. Ya para esto yo ya estaba enojada y le dije que yo entendía el estar ocupado pero por lo menos ofrecer agua cuando llega un cliente, me fui y le dije a mi familia que nos fuéramos y me voltee y le hice el comentario que, que pena que no tuvimos la oportunidad de disfrutar la comida por culpa de ella y fue cuando se vino del bar a querer discutir conmigo. Yo en ese momento ya estaba muy molesta. La otra chica tuvo que salir de la barra a decirle que se calmara. Espero que este restaurante tenga cámaras. Yo trabajo como manager de restaurante por mas de 20 años. Unos de mis grandes hobbies es salir a comer y en mi vida nunca había tenido una experiencia tan desagradable como esta. Quiero dejar muy claro que nunca tuvimos la oportunidad de probar la comida y la razón por solo una estrella es totalmente por esta situación. Esta chica no tendría que estar en esta línea de trabajo. Yo entiendo que hay veces que tenemos malos días. Somos seres humanos pero lo que no tiene esta chica es educación. Ya estamos saliendo del restaurante y ella seguía discutiendo. Gracias a la otra chica que salió de la barra y la controlo. read more

We decided to order takeout from here because of it's appearance on Diners Drive-in's and Dives. They are currently only doing takeout. I'm not sure what to say exactly. I think I was expecting more. I ordered the shrimp creole and honestly it was very tasty and I would recommend it! The sauce was the highlight. Very rich and creamy. It really complimented the rice well. But, the shrimp just wasn't as good as I had expected, given that they're so close to the ocean. My boyfriend got the Cuban seared steak and it was okay. It was a little dry and a little bland. It just needed something more I think. I am going to give them the benefit of doubt and assume it was a little subpar because it was takeout only. However, for the steep price, I expect it to be a bit higher quality. read more

I love when a friend's random recommendation to try a new restaurant results in delightful dining experience. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Not only was the food delicious, fresh, and perfectly portioned, but the service was spectacular. My friend and I both enjoyed our entrees. The beef and chicken empanadas were fantastic. The plantains were not overly sweet, which made me happy. But OMG my ropa vieja was so tender and seasoned to such perfection I think it may have lasted 3 minutes on my plate. Our waitress was nice, with a great sense of humor, and attentive. The owner, who we met toward the end of our meal, is awesome! I love when I can walk out a restaurant with a big smile on my face. She definitely ensured that. We will be back! read more

Frutilandia is on SF bucketlist "Black owned restaurants & business to support"! Therefore, why not take advantage of this great time to try it out. We had a order of: Lechon, filete de tilapia, Creole camarones, yucca frita, picadillo and pollo empanadas with a order of tostones. Lechon: The rice and bean order brings pieces of pork. It definitely has good flavor and they provide a generous portion. The lechon is really soft, fall of the bone meat. I would say it was somewhat bland but if you incorporate the sauces they provide in general the dish is good. And they provide you with plenty of meat. (I have been told to be patient with this dish, the order usually takes about 45 minutes) Filete de tilapia: I did not have this particular dish. But it did look good, the person eating it stated it had some spice which made it taste great. Side was white rice. Creole camarones: I was told the dish was good. Shrimps were big, had flavor and the sauce that came with complimented the rice. Yucca frita: I have never love yucca fries as much. These are in the ballpark, the fries are fried pieces of yucca which can be good with the orange sauce but once cold, I don't see much appeal. Empanadas: Both the chicken and ground meat were flavorful. The chicken was a yellow sauce chicken that reminded me of curry. The ground meat was a typical marinade. Both were fried well. Not too big and have plenty of meat inside. Came with orange sauce. I prefer to dip it in a mix of the orange sauce and the garlic sauce. Tostones: Have always been my favorite side of all time. These were great, smashed perfectly to allow a even cook. Enough salt to give it flavor and with the orange sauce, YUM. read more

I've only had the tostones with mojo sauce and the sweet plantains here - through a delivery service. The tostones when hot are great (though could use just a lil more salt). They took me back to our time spent in Nicaragua. The sweet plantains - were also quite tasty - and cooked in a sweet Kahlua sauce. Based on the two dishes that I sampled - I could tell that El Nuevo Frutilandia takes a slew of pride in their cooking. From browsing the reviews - their standout dishes seem to be more meat based, but they carry some decent vegetarian options as well. Though I'm not in a hurry to re-order delivery from here - I look forward to hopefully dining inside their physical restaurant in the future. Trust. read more
