On our last afternoon in Miami we searched for a Puerto Rican restaurant and thankfully stumbled…read moreacross this establishment. It's not a very large location. It's a hole in the wall. We found that it was the 1st Puerto Rican restaurant established in Miami in 1974. So it's been around 52 years and survived covid shut downs. Says a lot about how much the community loves it too. The service was great. The server was able to easily answer any questions about the menu. The food came out from the kitchen quickly and we started to feast. We ordered the Beef Alcapurias(fried masa). It's was great. My spouse who doesn't eat a variety of foods tried it and absolutely loved it. My sister ordered theGrilled Pork with Aroz con Gondules & a Pastele. My spouse had the Aroz con Gondules. I ordered the Chicharones de Pollo & Aroz con Gondules(double side). The portions were generous and delicious. I was even able to order a Pastele to go and eat it later with one of my sides of rice. We couldn't believe how affordable the lunch was when the bill came. We were all pleasantly surprised with the experience. And highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for an authentic Puerto Rican meal. We can't wait to go back for more!

It gives very local mom and pop vibes, super homey and authentic like you're walking into someone's kitchen. It was pretty empty when we went which made it feel even more laid back. The food was so good but just a heads up they do run out of dishes throughout the day. We were hoping for moro but they were out by the time we got there. I ordered the palomilla steak with rice and beans and it came with two maduros which I loved. The steak was super flavorful and tender. We also got the pollo guisado and it was just as delicious, very classic and comforting. Service was really good and the food came out so fast. Everything felt easy and smooth. I will definitely be coming back, this is one of those spots you keep in rotation when you're craving real Dominican food.

Everything we ordered was flavorful, and we've had consistently good experiences with the food. The only downside was the service. It was just average, and the staff could have been a bit friendlier and more attentive. Also, the Coke came in a very small glass bottle, almost sample-sized which was a little disappointing for the price. Overall, I'd still come back for the food because it's worth it.

I brought my sister because she loves mofongo, and it seemed like the perfect place for us to check out together. We came fairly early, around 6 PM, so it wasn't crowded at all. The only downside was that the restaurant had a fragrance that was incredibly strong and honestly a bit overpowering. It kind of took away from the experience for me. They don't have outdoor seating, but I genuinely would have preferred sitting outside in the Miami heat over being inside with that scent. Food wise, it definitely delivered. I ordered the churrasco mofongo and it was delicious. The steak was flavorful and paired perfectly with the mofongo. We also got the fried chicken for my nephew, and it was so good. Crispy, juicy, and a huge hit with him. Service was good throughout our visit, and our food came out quickly. Overall, I'm glad to see them thriving in a larger space. The food was great, the service was solid, and if they toned down the fragrance, the experience would have been even better.

The juices were also amazing, just kinda wish they didn't come in pouches. I really just wish the set up was better. There were 3 tables really close to each other and no chairs to sit on. My daughter and i had to eat our food standing up, so we ended up just taking it to the car. The flies around the food and the tables were insane! Maybe set up something to try and keep them away or put up fans around the tent. Yes, it is a farmers market on the weekends but it makes it really hard for people to want to buy the food since eating afterwards is impossible.

I dined alone but was accommodated greatly by my waiter Jose. He was fully knowledgeable of the menu and broke everything down for me describing how the meals i was interested in were prepared and even down to the drinks-- he recommended the sangria and it was delicious as was the food! i had the Swai filet fish with shrimp and scallops over sweet potatoes. and a side of rice -- the fish was cooked to perfection and nothing was too salty. everything was seasoned well but in moderation. everything was good! and very reasonable in price for the portion size. i definitely recommend to anyone in the area or even if you're not -- its still worth the trip! Thanks Jose for your warm hospitality i will certainly be back if I'm ever back in miami. :)

The red beans and rice were as dry as if they just came out of the bag. The service was just indifferent, we had an order of frys, she asked if we wanted ketchup, at the end of the meal she produced an empty ketchup bottle. The interior was ok with a cuban look. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, or maybe not. $60.00 later we left, hungry, the Burger King across the street looks inviting.

Let me start by saying I wanted so badly to like this place. I called and it was recommended to…read moremake a reservation, which was a great suggestion it was very busy. I love seeing a new business thriving! The hostess was very nice, and seated us right away at a table outside. Our server came out right away and she was very sweet but I've never had a more awkward interaction. Server: Have you ever been here before? Us: No, first time. Server: Do you know about us? Us: ... No it's our first time Server then went on about where the restaurant started and it's the first location in the US. Then points to the specials on the menu and tells us these are the specials but they're only available Monday to Friday until 4pm (It's Saturday night) and turns to the back to show us the tasting menu and lets us know that's also not available as it has to be reserved in advance. And asks if we're ready to order... not a single recommendation or information on any dishes that are available... Bf proceeds to order a spicy tuna roll from the appetizer side, it's not available. The only roll available is El Ñaño Roll. He ordered an arrow con mariscos very simple and can't go wrong. I asked about the cazuela de pescado and all I was told was it was fish slow cooked in green bananas. I didn't know what anything else was since she really didn't explain anything from the menu that was available, so I went with that. Food came out, his dish looked amazing! The presentation with the crab claw on a bed of yellow rice surrounded by the mariscos chefs kiss we were discussing how it really should come with a side plate to discard the shells from the dish when all of a sudden he pulled a very long hair out of his mouth. I was seated across not next to him so not mine and if you know him you know... it's not his. The manager came by and he showed him the very long hair and he said "everyone back there has a hairnet" well clearly not and clearly it didn't come from him. They did bring him a new plate and offered a comped dessert which we declined and when they brought the bill they did remove it from the bill. Hair happens, it's gross to find someone else's hair in your food but it happens and they made it right so I'll mention it but I won't dock a star for it. My dish was very flavorful, it looked small but it was dense; I ate maybe half of it. The cazuela is topped with half an avocado and red onions which I mixed into it, it also came with a side of white rice. If you don't like heavy flavors mix with the rice, I loved the full flavor however. Was it good, absolutely. Would I order it again, probably not just to try something a little lighter from the menu next time. All in all, they just opened and there are kinks to work out. Would I come back? Yes; and hopefully we can learn more about what else is on the menu to make a better informed selections.
