    Good food, but the in person service is a major letdown. I really wanted to love this place. We…read moreordered their food to my job all the time and always thought it was pretty decent, so I was excited to finally visit in person on June 7th around 5 PM. Unfortunately, the experience did not match the food. When we arrived, there were only two other guests being helped at the counter and the dining room was empty. No one greeted us when we walked in. No one offered us a menu. We actually sat down to see if anyone would eventually acknowledge us, but after waiting in silence for 20 min we finally had to get up and ask what they even had available to eat. Because of the vibe and the fact that they close at 7 PM, we felt uncomfortable ordering a full meal and just got some alcapurrias and pastelillos. To make matters worse, the girl with the red hair at the front counter was especially rude and made us feel like an inconvenience. We don't have many options for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine that actually reminds us of home in the area, so I genuinely hope management sees this and addresses the front of house service. Good food only goes so far when the customer service makes you feel unwelcome. A 3 because the food is genuinely good other wise a 1.

    I love the detail of including the flag in the plates, everything was so well done and it was…read moredelicious! I hope I can return to try it again.

    Came here on a quick lunch break during work. This is one of the only authentic Puerto Rican…read moreRestaurants in Clermont area. Definitely something much needed ! Service - walked in and immediately greeted. Asked if I wanted to do dine in or take out. Since it wasn't busy I opted for dine in. My server spoke a little English but was super friendly. She took care of me and and even brought a take out container noticing I didn't finish my food. Food- ordered the pernil lunch special and morir sonado to drink. Food was very delicious and reminded of the same food I would get on the island :) my only complaint was that my food was not super hot when it came out but it did coke out quickly after ordering. Food is priced well. Ambiance - small and cozy very welcoming. Not a ton of inside seating but could accommodate several families. 9/10 I definitely would return and make myself a regular here.

The service here was like at home. The food here tasted incredible. All of them were freshly prepared and seasoned. They have Mofongos from both Dominican and Puerto Rican. My party ordered the Chicharron y Pollo Mofongo from the Dominican side and Carne Frita Mofongo from the Puerto Rican side. The Dominican Mofongo was like a treasure chest that had fried pork rinds and shredded chicken hidden inside and melted cheese on top. The Puerto Rican Mofongo we ordered came with the fried pork chunks which tasted so good with the Mayo ketchup. But my number one today definitely was the cheese flan. It was perfectly sweetened with a texture between the cheese cake and caramel flan. I certainly will be back to try some of their other dishes.

    Excellent service! Delicious food!…read moreMy favorite food is the Mero-Fish and fresh vegetables on their crisp salad. I have dietary restrictions so their salad and fish meet my needs and a delicious place for lunch and dinner. Beautiful setting for a conversation with friends or family!

    After a visit to the Appleton Museum (a good way to spend an hour or two experiencing some…read moreworthwhile art pieces...especially an original Andy Warhol serigraph of Marilyn Monroe), my wife and I planned a late lunch at Latinos y Mas. We read some rave reviews on our community's Facebook page that intrigued us. The place looked nice from the outside and the interior looked equally nice. We were promptly seated after walking in and presented menus on these digital tablets...only one worked so we took turns looking at the menu. I was going to order their Arroz con Pollo but my wife, who knows I like pernil, pointed out they have pernil so I pivoted and ordered pernil instead. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich. We just ordered water for drinks and were served chips and salsa while we waited for our meals. Service was quick and efficient and we were soon digging into our dishes. The pernil was just OK. While the meat was tender, it lacked flavor. The yellow rice was just OK as well. My wife liked her Cuban sandwich. I tried it and it had decent flavors. While the pernil fell way short of what I've come to expect pernil should be after sampling it at Kinka's in Lutz, we still thought it was worth a return visit. I just won't order the pernil. Ambience and service were good and value was decent. Lunch for 2 with tip was just over $38.

This place is really hidden, I mean I went to middle school not far from there and never knew it was there. Walking in, Pa'lla Voy gives me the same feeling as a small mom and pop shop. They do plate lunches and more there. Truly a variety and personable feeling when you walk in. They're located at 1732 Rinehart Rd, Sanford, FL. I ordered the fried fish with mac salad and sweet plantains. I was really split between the plantains and the rice, however, the owner was so sweet that she threw it in for me anyway. She gave me a huge cup by the way without charging me extra just so I could try it. They had a whole case of desserts too, and honestly who can say no to a giant portion of flan? I paid about $25 for the whole meal and it was definitely enough for two meals. The fish was a fresh fried tilapia topped with onions. You have to eat it fresh, but it was so crispy and flavorful. The mac salad was fresh with bell peppers and a good palate cleanser when eating fried food. The plantains are a good staple. The rice really stole my heart though. It was so good. I would rate the plate an 8.5/10. I also got tamarind juice, which I would rate at a 8.5 as well. Overall, I would rate them an 8.5/10 and recommend anyone in the area to give them a try. They are so sweet and the food is good and a lot for what you're paying.
