PALERMO PUERTO RICAN... UN AMOR PROHIBIDO…read more Ay, Dios mío... I walked into Palermo Puerto Rican in Florida thinking I was simply going to have dinner. Pero NO. What happened that day was something much more dangerous... I fell in love. I ordered the Christmas Plate, and the moment it arrived at the table, I froze. Pork. Arroz con gandules. Pasteles. Plátanos maduros. I whispered... "No puede ser..." One bite, and suddenly I wasn't in Florida anymore. I was back in Puerto Rico during Las Navidades. I could almost hear the coquí, the music, the laughter of family, and somebody in the distance yelling, "¡Dale, que llegó la comida!" The pork was tender and full of flavor. The arroz con gandules tasted like Christmas memories on a plate. The pasteles... AY, LOS PASTELES! I wasn't emotionally prepared. And those sweet plátanos maduros came into my life like the forbidden lover my mother warned me about. I looked at my plate and said: "¡¿POR QUÉ?! ¿POR QUÉ TUVE QUE CONOCERTE AHORA?" Because this wasn't dinner anymore. ESTO ERA AMOR PROHIBIDO. Every bite brought back memories of Puerto Rican Christmases--the food, the family, the music, the alegría, the traditions. It was nostalgia, happiness, heartbreak and romance all served on one plate. And when the last bite was gone... I stared at the empty plate like the final scene of a telenovela. "No te vayas... todavía tenemos una vida juntos." Palermo Puerto Rican, you didn't just feed me. You took me home. And now our love may be complicated... it may be dangerous... it may even be forbidden... PERO VOLVERÉ. Because some loves are simply too powerful to forget. ¡QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO, QUE VIVA LA NAVIDAD... Y QUE VIVA ESTE AMOR PROHIBIDO!

Everything was delicious. Maybe put a Cuban on the menu?…read moreThe pork was so tender and flavorful. The mofongo was not dry at all! Sangria was perfect. Not to much citrus! I would come back again when in the area.

Now for the arepas we got a chicken one and a beef, then shared, let me say both were incredible! The corn cakes were thin and cooked perfectly and held up to the massive amounts of filling stuffed inside. So flavorful the chicken salad with avocado delicious, the beef with cheese and sweet plantains, so many flavors and textures, one bite and you just wanted more! We destroyed these, no leftovers, so good! oh definitely get some of the cilantro sauce too! loved it , can't wait to visit again!

I got the pabellon arepa and taqueños to go and there was a very short wait (they make the arepas fresh!), but it was so good. I also enjoyed house made mango juice which was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Parking is a bit tight, but there's more parking within walking distance. All in all, a very authentic, local spot.

I have been ordering from Empanadas Factory for years. Today at 3:35 p.m., I placed an online order…read moreand inadvertently selected the Picada instead of the Ceviche. I realized my mistake almost immediately and called the restaurant approximately five minutes later. I explained what had happened and asked them to substitute the Ceviche for the Picada. They refused. I understand that restaurants cannot accommodate every change once an order is underway. But refusing to correct an accidental selection only minutes after an online order was placed--particularly for a longtime customer--is inflexible and terrible service. As a result, I was charged $24.96 for an entrée I did not want. A small measure of courtesy would have preserved the goodwill of a customer who has patronized this restaurant for years. Instead, I will never order from Empanadas Factory again.

Light, fluffy, cheesy, garlicky sauce with the right amount of zest spice. Melts in your mouth. How can I bring this sauce home?!?! Second up: main course.

This place is gorgeous on the outside and quaint on the inside. I love the mural on the outside…read more Food-wise, the sweet plantains stole the show! They were super warm and delicious. The arepas were also very loaded- though I do wish they'd give you a bit more chimichuri sauce to add some extra flavor. I got the fancy monkey, which filled me up & gave me leftovers, but overall it lacked much flavor depth or contrast. Also price-wise, $8 for mango juice was a little top dollar for me. But overall, this place was good for a filling lunch. Also as a sidenote (no points off tho cause it's not that deep) but the paintings on the inside are almost definitely ai prints, which is a jarring contrast to the stunning mural on the outside of the building.
