We had an excellent lunch here. Our group of six enjoyed each dish we ate…read more It is small place in a strip shopping center. Inside there are half a dozen tables. You order and pay at the counter. The daily specials are on a blackboard. The regular menu is on the wall above where you order. The man behind the counter was most patient with all of us trying to figure out what we wanted. For the table, we started with chicharonnes. The fried pork skin/pork belly was the best I'd ever had. The outside skin was perfectly crisped and there was enough meat inside each piece to satisfy. We also shared an order of sorullitos. I'd never had these before. They were long cylinders of fried corn meal fritters. Both dishes were served fresh and piping hot. The kids both ordered Cuban sandwiches and wound up eating only half as it was a large portion. One side came with the sandwich and they both had tostones. The adults tried pernil (roast pork), ropa vieja (shredded beef), shrimp in garlic sauce, and chicken stew (pollo guidado). Each main dish came with two sides. The yellow rice with pigeon peas (gandules) was a popular choice. The sweet plantains were caramelized and very sweet. The tostones were fresh -- crisp on the outside and soft inside. We had four take home boxes. And too full for dessert. If you're looking for great Puerto Rican cuisine in this area, don't be put off by the casual surroundings. The food here is wonderful.

The cafeteria set up allowed us to see what we were ordering as we walked along and said or pointed at what we wanted. I tried using some of my limited Spanish vocabulary to order our food. We had three plates of food with Fried Rice style rice, Mofongo, Beef, Tostones and Fried Sweet Plantains. For dessert we ordered a White Chocoflan (I don't know if that is the current name) and to drink Passion Fruit Juices. The food was okay. Didn't taste bad but was just okay. The food trays were generously portioned and worth the price - approximately $14. The Passion Fruit Juice was delicious. As one of my favorite juices, I had high expectations. It did not disappoint. I love Chocoflan and only have eaten homemade Chocoflans. This White Chocoflan was delicious. It was not too sweet. Both sides complimented each other well and had a good balance of flavor and texture. We were able to order and pay for our food and drinks in a reasonable time. There is ample parking and indoor seating available for dining in.

My friend took me out to eat at this restaurant for lunch. I asked her if it had good reviews and…read moreshe said that she didn't know. She said she only checked what was on the menu. Upon entering this restaurant I knew that the food was going to be great, because it smelled so good! This restaurant is severed cafeteria style, where you go down the line with different dishes of prepared food on display before you, behind protective glass. A team member on the other side with the food, assists you be gathering together what you point to, as you go down the line. Then they put the food that you pick out into a "to go" container. At the end of the line, you pay for your food at the cash register. Just to make a sure you are aware, a tip is automatically added onto your check when you get to the register. This caught my friend by surprise, because she wasn't aware the tip was included in the receipt until it was too late, and she already paid. You are asked if you want a beverage with your order at the register. You can request a cup of tap water with a lid at this point, but if you don't specify that you want tap water, they may automatically charge you for a bottle of water. They give you plastic silverware with napkins with your meal container. After you pay for your food, you either seat your self at one of their available booths, or you take food with you to go. I got the chicken with white cheese, along with the beans and rice, and I also got some fried plantains. My friend got two dishes with pork and another dish that I can't remember what she called it. My food was so delicious! My friend loved her food as well! The atmosphere here is loud fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the music that they were playing. They also have several large TV's hung from the ceiling. that are playing shows, but I didn't see any closed captioning. The restrooms appear to be just one stall for men, and one stall for woman, and they were kept clean. After I sat down I did see a couple of house flys hanging around our booth. I did see on the wall a sign that said they deliver, but it also said that the minimum order cost for delivery was $300. I'm not sure if this restaurant also partners with meal delivery services. The restaurant is definitely a great place to go and have lots of delicious food! It is also a great place to escape the Florida heat for a little while, as it is kept nice and cool and comfortable inside.

Whew. Expensive. We give this place 5*'s for food and 1* for the prices. Our overall rating is 3*'s. The folks who work here are very pleasant. The dining room is well decorated. There's no mistaking what the cuisine will be. We ordered a pernil Papa Locas ($14) and both street ($13/5) and birria ($14/3) tacos. We wanted to get a churrasco Mofongo ($35) thinking we'd have plenty of leftovers, but we realized we were simply running out of money. We love Puerto Rican food. We often stop at Lelo's in Orange City when we're in Volusia county and get Mfongo's and the rotisserie chicken and the pork and their daily specials. Our expectation was high tonight because of all the buzz. We really wanted it to be good. And what we ate was good. The employees and the ambience were both great. We enjoyed everything. But why so expensive? We make a good living and we both appreciate fine things - we willingly pay extra for high quality when we feel it is justified. But what we paid tonight didn't bear any correlation to our dinner. These sky-high prices reminded us of Disney. Everything at WDW is inflated: whether the captive audience syndrome because Disney knows their customers have no alternatives; or they just price everything ridiculously high because it's Disney. Unfortunately for this restaurant, it's not Disney. And there are dozens and dozens of alternatives surrounding their building and within a short 10-15 min drive. We wish the owners well. They certainly know how to prepare tasty Puerto Rican food. However, we both agreed we won't be going back because we frankly just don't see the value. Way too expensive.

I've been for lunch and on a Friday night for dinner and it was fantastic both times! For lunch I had the Pork Birria Tacos (hey...if they're on the menu...I get them ‍) and they are completely drool-worthy! They were as crispy as the food I have been seeing in the ASMR videos! The decorations with the plants and decor go well together. There is no question that there is Puerto Rican pride there! The hanging chair was also fun! The dinner I had there was also excellent! We sat in this time and had a Tripleta and Canoas. All the flavors were there for both! We also had a tamarind bucket drink! It was so refreshing, and not everywhere offers it! The chips they brought out were even plantain chips! On Friday nights they have Bachata night where they have a DJ, open up a space for dancing, and even have a spot for dominoes! Everyone should check them out!

However, based on my experience, I felt the food and pricing didn't quite live up to expectations. The presentation was decent, and I can appreciate the effort that went into the dishes. Unfortunately, once you consider the prices, the overall experience becomes harder to justify. The food, while perfectly acceptable, was fairly middle-of-the-road for me and didn't stand out enough to warrant the price point. There are other options in the area offering similar, prepared Latino food at a lower price, including grocery-store options such as Bravo, and I found some of those to be comparable to what I experienced here. I genuinely wanted to enjoy the restaurant, and I hope this is taken as constructive feedback. For me, though, the combination of the food quality and the prices made it difficult to feel that the overall value was there.

Cubans on the Run is also good for single meal portions and their hot sauce is my favorite vinegar-based hot sauce around. The last time I went, I just ran in to buy a bottle of hot sauce. The office favorites are the chicken sandwich, Brenda's specialty, steak and cheese, Cuban, potato balls, roast pork sandwich, cheese arepas, and guava cheese pastries. Something for everyone!

Review on Autentico Cubano pick up order only…read more Hankering for a Cubano sandwich, I chose Rey's since I had yet to try out their version. I found ordering over the phone straight-forward and the sandwich was ready in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant itself is on the small size, with seating both inside and outside, and I observed a number of patrons enjoying their "plates". The Cubano sandwich contained the ingredients listed and was pressed as expected. The flavor was solid and nothing stood out. French fries were included with the order and were regular, not seasoned. I only tried one. Picking up my order and payment was straight-forward. The price was reasonable. I might return to try something different in the future. In the meantime, I'll continue to search for really tasty Cuban sandwiches.
