I was really craving mofongo when I stumbled upon Latin Creations on Yelp. I just knew I had to stop by and give them a try. Hubby joined me for lunch, we ordered a few things to share: beef empanada, tripleta sandwich and mofongo con carne frita. Our food came out fast and everything was delicious! The beef empanada was freshly fried and perfectly crispy. No shortage of seasoned ground beef. The tripleta sandwich was loaded with chicken, pork and beef. The cheese was melty and gooey. It all came together wonderfully with the special ketchup/mayo sauce. Excellent bread as well. The mofongo was very good! Heavy on the garlic which I loved. The carne frita/fried pork chunks were done really well - tender and flavorful. They served the mofongo with a cup of traditional yummy broth. Simple and classic Puerto Rican flavors, friendly service, great prices. Definitely worth giving them a try!
I pass Latin Creations almost daily and while I've stopped in once to look at the menu, this was my first time ordering there. I picked up food to go for six people and we tried the chicken, beef, and pizza empanadas; rice and plantains with fried chicken; mofongo with fried pork; mofongo with shrimp in a red sauce; Cuban sandwich; and sirloin steak with onions in a red sauce with rice and plantains. After ordering at the kiosk, we went to the dining room to sit and wait for our food. I noticed that on the far side of the counter they had a cafeteria-style line for plates. That may be a more efficient round to go next time. Everyone loved their food. The mofongo in particular was delicious! It was very well seasoned and full of garlic. The rice wasn't quite as successful but it was ok. Portions were very good. We look forward to returning!
Fui a Latin Creation LLC y tuve una experiencia muy decepcionante con el cobro. No me entregaron el recibo en el momento de pagar tuve que pedirlo, y al revisarlo en casa noté que me cobraron un 20% adicional por gratitud, aunque ya estaba incluida en la cuenta original para seis personas. La cajera, Mary (transacción #1103328), debió explicar esto claramente, pero no lo hizo y terminó agregando otro 20%.un total de $ 27 no me hubiera importado si me hubiera explicado. Es la primera vez que visitamos este lugar, y sinceramente será la última. Deberían ser más transparentes y honestos con los cobros hacia los clientes.
After a morning of shopping, we stopped by Latin Creations for lunch. We had lunch and leftovers for dinner. The mofongo was terrific as was everything else.
We happened upon this restaurant right before they closed. Even though they were close to closing the lady at the counter was accommodating and let us order dinners and large appetizer platter. The food was all delicious. I had never had mofongo before and food it savory, well seasoned. The steak was nice with the salsa on top. The appetizer tower was yummy! We loved the pork and chicken on the bottom level. The plantains in the middle were nice and crispy. I also loved the cheese on the top. The ladies were so nice too. I thought the decorations were very colorful too.
This a great spot for quick Latin food. I tried: The beef empanada, it was ok. The meat is not super flavorful and they are not stuffed enough. The white rice was cold. The fried pork chunks were nicely fried but can use a lil bit more seasoning and please offer lemon wedges. The red beans were perfect!!! The fried chicken was fried to perfection as well. It is perfectly located, but parking can be limited due to the large number of businesses in this lot. Pricing is very reasonable.
** Update** The owner Maria decided to post a response to the below review. In her statement she says that they were opened until 6:00 pm on the 24th of December. However, I was told by her staff when I ordered the food on December 17th and put a deposit for the catering that they were going to closed at 12:00 pm and the reason why I left work at 11:00 am to pick up the food on December 24th. In addition, Maria is not being honest about letting the charge back pass because I received an email from Amex today saying that they did not agree with my dispute, because according to Latin Creations I ate the food. So does Maria think that I picked up the food from the trash and served it to my family for dinner? These people are gaslighting me and I am done with them. If they truly were sorry the best way to handle it was to let the charge back go through so I could get my money back and not disputed it. Another reason why I would never go back to their establishment. I ordered their Christmas special for 4-5 people on 12/24 I picked it up because they told me that they were closing at 12:00 pm. I left the restaurant around 11:45am and headed home with the food. As soon as I arrived I opened the food and looked at it. I proceeded to open the pork first. When I opened it the pork had a foul smell like it was not cleaned before cooking. I tried a piece and it tasted horrible. I closed container and put a side. I then tried the potato salad which tasted like aluminum because by their own admission they have made it a few days before. I then opened the rice with pigeon peas which was pale and had no taste. Needless to say the whole thing taste HORRIBLE!. I had people coming over in the 24th so there was no time for me to contact them so they could make it right. They closed by 12:00pm on the 24th and closed all day on the 25th. I had to rush to the store to purchase food because their food was not edible. I opened a dispute with my credit card and included photos of the food in the trash because this is where it belonged. On 1/7/26 I got a call from Belinda who was upset that I didn't reach out to them about the food quality and to let me know that no one else complained about the food except for me. I proceeded to explained the above and that I got diarrhea from the food that I tasted within a few hours and the inconvenience it created for me having to run last minute to the store to cook for the 25th. Belinda didn't seem to care about anything that I explained except about the money they were going to loose. I have been a client of this establishment since I moved to Jax 4 yrs ago never had a problem with their food or staff. But to call a client and dismiss what they told you is not only unprofessional but rude. I explained that I had sent Amex a statement with photos of the food in the trash. I offered to send her the above as proof but she was not interested in it. She said that Amex didn't send them anything. Today I found out from Amex that they told them that I ate the food which is a LIE. Amex also told me that they send them the photos and my statement. Latin Creations are not only horrible business owners but liars as well. I will never eat there again, I already told my friends and family what occurred and they are not interested in giving business to an establishment whose quality is O, treats their customer like garbage and also lies. If anyone is interested in good food, go to the Flamboyant across the street from Latin Creations or Flavorican. you won't regret it.
Ordered a Mofongo tray for 15 people! Ordering was breeze as well as the pickup. I forgot to ask for the mojo to go with it. Not an issue because I made my own at home. My guests loved the Mofongo which I knew they would. I will order from them again!
Awesome place! Came by after church and ordered a kids meal: arroz con habichuelas y pollo (rice & beans w/chicken). A plate of arroz con gandules, pernir, and yucca. A mofongo con camarones al ajillo. The kids plate came first, then the arroz con gandules plate lastly my mofongo came way later seemed to have been a mixup. Nonetheless they were kind and apologized. Then asked if I wanted dessert.I said limber de coco they gave us 5 total ones for each of us.That was kind, and thoughtful. Prices were great! Not expensive at all, portions were decent not overly full. The inside was nice and spacious, tables with chairs and a hightop area with stools. Stop in and enjoy!
Service was friendly and excellent! Food was amazing, I had the red snapper, salad, sweet plantain and Mofongo. Monfongo was the best I had! Red snapper was moist and flavorful. I can't wait to go back!
We stopped in for breakfast. The breakfast menu isn't big with a few sandwich selections and a breakfast plate. They also have baked goods and croquettes and another item like a croquette but made with plantains. The lunch hot bar looked and smelled amazing. Which I must come back for next time! I got the sausage egg and cheese sandwich. My husband got the ham, egg, and cheese. They were large sandwiches that are pressed and cut in half. We split both sandwiches and our consensus was the ham was better but the sausage was also good. The ham just had a little more flavor all over the sandwich. We ordered a plantain item for our little guy which was filled with meat and delicious! We also got their cafe con leche. It was strong and creamy! The inside is bright and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful! Can't wait to go back!
White Rice and Beans pastellon (ripe plantains w ground beef) (similar to lasagna without the pasta) & mac & cheese (my favorite) side dish. I can't forget their amazing Sangria! The service is warm & inviting. Ambiance is Homie; family owned, always pleasant & my server (Nicole) is phenomenal, bilingual & great recommendations. Must visit! Thank you.

I picked up a catering order from here and service was friendly. But I was a little disappointed in the things I ordered. Pastelilo de guayaba barely had guava in it...it was just empty pastries basically. They were not enjoyable. Empanadas were ok, the taste was fine but honestly not that very impressive. Rellenas de papa were fine as well. Maybe I need to come and sit down for a meal because the catering wasn't super impressive unfortunately. read more
The staff is always kind whenever we have gone here, whether it be through the quick service counter, or dining in the restaurant. The vibes were lowkey but still lovely on the day we went, there was even a staff member singing karaoke. Food was pretty good! It was my first time trying the monfongo & the appetizer platter & I would be option to trying other items on their menu next time. read more

Hi Glori,…
A little slice of Puerto Rico in Jacksonville no less. It is hard to find authentic Puerto rican food. Mexican food outshines in Florida 10 to 1. We did a salsa through the door and was splendidly surprise with friendly service and delicious food. Don't sleep on Latin Creations near the corner of Beach blvd a St John"s Bluff south which 2 blocks in. The food made me want to Welpa down the street and tell everyone I meet. Latin Creations is here. I had the mouth watering rice and beans with pork. The wife had yellow rice and bistec. Dont ever forget the sweet plantains! Latin Creations provided the eats and we enjoyed every bite. Wife smaid the bistec was so salty but taste oh so good! read more

Nancy had a craving for some Mofongo Chuleta Kan Kan. I tried the La Tripleta Empanedado sandwich and a Beef Pastelilios. Nancy's said the Kan Kan was exactly how she likes it. Crunchy skin and juicy pork chop. The Tripleta sandwich was a pleasant surprise. Better than the Cuban sandwich I got the last time we visited Latin Creations. The Pastelilios had a crunchy pastry crust that wasn't greasy like many empanadas are. Could have used a little more filling, but for the price can't be beat. read more

We ordered cafeteria style. My pernil was amazing! I had gandules y yuca as my sides. Delish! Our tostones (5) were hot and fresh, and I drizzled the ajo over the yuca for a little kick. He had beef, gandules y maduros. All yummy. And then Medalla Light en botella?? Perfecto. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals, and being just down the road, we will be back! read more

Loved everything we ordered! We had two types of desserts, pernil, and we were not disappointed one bit! Will be returning again soon! read more
This is my spot for fast and fresh Puerto Rican food. Ordering is easy and cafeteria style, unless you want to order from the menu, which includes a variety of mofongo and other dishes. I'm in and out when I come here and usually get the same things--rice and beans, pernil (roasted pork) or bistek (steak and onions). And the kids fave--beef empanadas. Everything is always full of flavor which is why we are repeat customers. They also serve breakfast Monday thru Friday (8-11am) and Saturday (9am-1pm). read more

We're supposed to be eating healthier but when one person has a deep craving for something, the other is not too far behind following the wrong path hahaha. My boyfriend realllllly wanted some Morcilla (blood sausage) and the place near us were sold out. Next came the Alcapurria (green banana fritter stuffed with beef) and at that time this place was closed. We finally reached out to them when they were open one weekend and got delivery. He was able to get his Morcilla, an entire pound of it and Alcapurria, while I tried to be as basic as I could to stay on track. That led to me getting the Chicken sandwich. It sucked, having to choose the sandwich I mean, because they had so many great options, like I would've definitely gotten the Mofongo de la Isla con Ensalada de Pulpo y Carpucho (green plantains, garlic, oil and pork rinds with octopus and conch salad). That sounds amazing. My sandwich was good, lots of mayo in it. But his morcilla from the small bit that I ate tasted waaaay better. I didn't try the Alcapurria yet but there's plenty left over. Of the four, he ate one and "OMG"'d, closed his eyes and leaned back. He must've been back to his childhood with one bite. He loved it so much he sent him Mom a photo. All that from this cylindrical thing? I'm missing out. Kudos for the food Latin Creations. I'm not sure what you did to my man but I think you're his favorite place now. read more

Probably the worst piece of fried chicken I've ever eaten. Which is too bad because if they serve good fried chicken, I'd come over and over again. I should've known why I haven't ordered for them in so long on DoorDash, and now I remember. I'm sure other things are OK but their fried chicken is unreal and edible. It was like chewing leather. The picture is the un edible chicken leg and it's an edible breast. read more

Wow!! I am more than satisfied! I was alerted by Yelp that is was Hispanic Heritage Month, to show appreciation to culture I chose to go support a business, I found Latin Creations, they did not disappoint. The staff was great I called and put an order, I showed up early and my order was all ready packed up and ready. I went with the Baked Chicken Mixed and the Yellow Rice and peas, it was great. I will be coming back when I lose more weight and get more of the comfort foods that they have! Keep up the great work!! read more

This place is amazing! I was not expecting much from this restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised how delicious their foods are!! We came here twice already and tried the following: Con Pernil - Roasted Pork - very good! Reminds me of Filipino Lechon sans the sauce Con Bistec en Salsa - Sirloin steak with onions - lots of meat and tender beef! I loved it! Con Carne Frita - Crispy Fried marinated pork chunks- great flavor but it was not crispy, might've been overcooked Con Pechuga de Pollo - Grilled Chicken breast with onions and bell peppers. The veggies were served raw, salad style with vinaigrette dressing. Delicious! Cuajo - not in the menu but they served this every Fridays only. It reminds me of the Filipino dish "bopis." Cuajo's main ingredient is pork stomach so it's not for everybody, but I grew up eating it lol! It was very good too! We made sure to order this every time we visit. It's our favorite! Perfect with the yellow rice! They also make Empanada and other pastries! If you're looking for tasty and affordable Puerto Rican food then I highly recommend Latin Creations! Excellent service too! read more
