They have like 5 lunch specials for $6.25 and what an amazing DEAL! I got the Jerk chicken and it was like 2-3 pieces of chicken with half take out container full of rice & peas and a choice of side (I got green beans)...all of it was so yummy! The woman serving up your choice of lunch specials was super sweet and helpful since I didn't know what some of the things were. You also got "gravy" on the rice & peas if you wanted it. I took some gravy from brown stew and it was delicious! A bottle of water was included with lunch special for $6.25...can't find a deal like this anywhere else! I will definitely go back to try another lunch special next time I'm in the area!

Also the prices are extremely affordable and well worth the generous and large portions they serve you. If you live in. Broward check this place out!

Great place to have a delicious Puerto Rican meal…read more Service was fast and efficient, no wait time when I arrived. Monday evening, holiday. Food was delicious, from appetizer to main entree. Recommendations were made and I went with all of them. Pork belly chunks that were seasoned with salt and pepper, and lemon was added afterward for a little more punch in the flavor. Shrimp creole was delicious. The red beans and rice mix makes you want to keep having more and mixing it all together gives you a flavorful punch in your mouth. Mofongo, aka , masked green plantains are only for those looking for something a little dry with flavor. Mines had steak and it was drizzled with mojito sauce and oil. Our server was excellent and recommended flipping it over to have the juice flow into the mofongo which she went ahead and did.. steak was well done and when mixed in had a great combination of flavor.. Ambiance feels like a local P.R spot, flags, art, music, and very fun ambiance. Enjoyed it. Definitely when I'm in the area will come again..

The food was mixed . - Alcapurrias : 5 stars crunchy, juicy, proper size and flavor. - pork chunks mofongo: 4 stars, great flavor. Huge pork portion. - shrimp mofongo creole sauce: 3 stars sauce was on the saltier side and once it reached the bottom of the mongo it was "just too much" - churrasco (kids): 3 stars. A bit overcooked (kid refused to eat it) but it was decent flavor and tenderness. - beans: 3 stars, too salty - white rice : 1 star, felt dry and grainy like day old rice from the fridge.

What happened? I haven't been here in months/perhaps a year…read more I purchased Large soup (Gungo Pea) Large escovitch fish Large Brown Stew It all looked appetizing through the partition. Like it always has. But...not one item is the same. Not one is has flavor. Not even salt could help. Brown stew chicken watery no flavor. Fish not sweet or hot. The soup biggest disappointment. No dumplings. No meat. I ordered at 1230 so there was plenty of soup that it shouldn't have been picked over. The soup was so bad I actually thought there was a chemical in it. I threw it out. Over $50 plus a tip If I had the time and energy I would go there for a full refund and let them have all their food back. Cause in the trash it goes.

The turkey was fried a little too hard for my liking, and the black rice could have used a bit more flavor, but everything was still good. I also got the passion fruit drink, which was amazing. I would definitely go back just for that. I was too hungry and forgot to take photos Overall, I would recommend this place.

The front desk at our hotel recommended JRK!, and wow... she did not steer us wrong…read more When we travel, we always try to eat local food--never something we can get back home--so we were excited to try this spot. It's located inside a nearby mall, which turned out to be high-end and really beautiful. We grabbed an Uber and headed over. The food absolutely hit the spot. We ordered three bowls with jerk chicken and rice and another bowl with curry chicken and spicy rice. Everything was fantastic and the portions were generous--definitely worth the price. When we ordered they had just served their last portion of oxtail, which was a bit of a bummer because that's what I originally wanted. But while we were eating, I noticed the line never stopped and the server was constantly plating food. That's always a great sign that a place is doing something right. They actually did replenish the oxtail shortly after... but by then we were already full. We also grabbed a rum cake and it was a 1000 out of 10. Must try! The only downside is that it's located inside the mall. It would be amazing to experience the full vibe in a standalone restaurant setting with maybe an even larger menu. But clearly they're doing something right because the line never stopped the entire time we were there. Highly recommend!
