Salmon filet with trifungo.
Jason T.

I have lived on this planet for 51 years and tonight I had the best salmon fillet I've ever had. I also had a side of trifungo which is a mixture of sweet plantains, green plantains, and yucca. It was sublime. The server was very attentive, and the only bit of constructive criticism that I could offer would be the wait time. The food came a little bit later than I was expecting, but it was worth the wait. It's clear to me why this restaurant has so many reviews and as of the time of this review, had a 4.5 rating. Don't pass by this restaurant!

Shrimp mofongo wow.

The food is very good and you are really Puerto Rican. The atmosphere is very familiar and with excellent music.

I ordered the grouper fillet and shrimp meal arroz con gandules as my side, to go. I paid $32 for this meal. First, I must say that the arroz con gandules was delicious and flavorful. But the rest, was short of delicious and flavorful. I was disappointed to see the salad wasn't put in a separate container as it's cold and the rest of the food is warm. By the time I got home 10 mins later, the salad was wilted. I had to put salt and pepper on it to eat it. Nothing special. The size of the grouper was good, but flavorless. I had to add salt and pepper to add some type of seasoning to it. I was told there was a garlic sauce that would be on top of the fish and shrimp, I tasted none. And the 5 shrimp that came along were good size, but again flavorless. This was my first time trying this restaurant. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. The $32 wasn't worth a flavorless meal excluding the rice with pigeon peas. That was the only thing that was truly enjoyable. Thus earned 2 stars.

Well-executed dish from presentation to flavor. Fresh seafood, great texture, and a good balance of seasoning. Highly recommend

$4.50 for this not to be filled up all the way. This place has gone down hill since they changed owners you can feel that the atmosphere is off! The fact that I asked why they didn't fill it up all the way and the person responded with we're not allowed is crazy. Also I requested for my pork chunks not to be cooked too much since they love to do that and dry out their meat. They're overpriced and when ordering online for pickup they still expect a tip on top of that. Save your money and go somewhere else. This is a slap in the face to your loyal customers, but I assure you that GANDULES WILL NEVER GET A DIME OUT OF ME AGAIN!! That's why y'all business is slow because of your guy's customer service, bland and over cooked food.

Mango "margarita"
Debora H.

Food was okay. Lack of seasoning on most things we ordered. Drinks were good though im sure my margarita had 0 alcohol. Tables are extremely close to others so it's a bit uncomfortable. Not to mention the chairs are uncomfortable as well. Music is way too loud so everyone is yelling in there. Tip was included in the check and a big party service fee even though we were a table of 6. Table itself was small as well so we were tight. Server was nice and attentive. Though im almost 100% sure the shrimp my in laws dropped on the floor was brought back to them. Server took the shrimp and brought back new ones about 15 seconds later. Definitely not going back here with the experience i had yesterday.

Food is amazing the atmosphere was very vibrant and high energy.we sat right by the bathroom and kitchen so there was a lot of traffic and the server was great but after we got our food I had to ask the bartender for to go plates and for a refill and for our check so we was there a little longer then we wanted to because of the wait but I would come back again for the food it was fresh and hot and seasoned well.

My dental hygienist recommended this place and since it was close by and the rating was high, we gave it a try. So very, very glad we did! The ambiance, service, drinks and food were all great. The grouper filet was lightly breaded and covered in sautéed peppers and onions, very flavorful. It came with a tomato lettuce salad and one additional side. I chose the white rice and beans, also quite flavorful. The spicy pork chop and shrimp was 1/2 great and 1/2 wonderful. Both were seasoned to perfection, but the pork chop was dry. The Puerto Rican rice was very flavorful. The mango pina colada was yummy as was the tropical sangria. And tip... the sangria is both a drink AND a fruit dessert! Really good. I was so stuffed when I left. Highly recommend!

Fried cheesecake ice cream with Nutella a la mode $9.50

Absolutely off the chain authentic Puertorican food, even better than in PR itself!! The chef is absolutely incredible!! The staff are friendly, the ambience is fun with Latin music playing on the background, birthday songs with " tambores" and the restaurant is clean! The bathrooms are spotless, so you know the kitchen is the same. Also the kitchen is open so you can see it's sanitary. Beyond impressed with this restaurant in the middle of Leigh Acres, we drove far to get here but it's worth the drive and we will do it again! Thank you Gandules for an explosion of flavors in our mouths!! The best part is the food is affordable!! 5 stars all around!!

What a really fun and happening place. It was packed on a Saturday night. We were a party of six so we were quoted a wait time of 45 minutes. It was a very cold evening so many people were wanting to eat inside. After about 20 minutes we were told our table was ready. We walked in and the aromas of garlic , various spices & Lively Puerto Rican music filled the air. There is no phone number to call and they do not take reservations so just go and wait if necessary. It is worth the wait. It was someone's birthday at the table next to us so the servers came out singing , clapping and the bongo made it really fun. The place is rather small inside so the seating is pretty tight. The menu had a variety of delicacies. They are known for the gorgeous tropical drinks along with beautiful dishes. Their portions are big so make sure to come with either a huge appetite or be prepared to bring some of it home with you. Since I was driving , I got the virgin Pina Colada while my friend got their Fruity Sangria. The drinks were so very exquisite & very tasty. I got their 6 inch liner and garlic shrimp with White rice & red beans. I added their sweet plantains. So very worth it. Expect to pay $$ but oh so worth it. Our server was amazing and we will come back again.

I always have to come here when I visit town--it's become a tradition at this point. The food is…read morealways so delicious, fresh, and consistent, and the service never disappoints. We had a server named Alexis this time, and he was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely great with people. He made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for families, but still great for anyone looking to enjoy a good meal. There's truly something on the menu for everyone, whether you're picky or adventurous. You can tell they really care about both the food and the overall experience. Definitely one of my favorite spots, and I'll keep coming back every time I'm in town!
