What hit me first was the decor, warm, cultural and unapologetically Puerto Rican just my kind of spot! The outside open air patio was just as nice. Very spacious spot with plenty of room inside and outside great for large gatherings. Cozy and relaxed atmosphere with an attentive staff that catered to us the entire time. We ordered a lot of food. For appetizers we had the classic fried cheese with guava sauce, sampler platters and the tostones de pana. All crisp and served with extra dipping sauce. The spicy margaritas were fire literally! Passion fruit frappe is my new guilty pleasure so good. Mofongo was good but wish they served it in the traditional Pilon and not a Ramen like bowl. The churrasco was ok was a little tough but the arroz con gandules was seasoned nicely. Everyone was satisfied with the food big portions and service was outstanding. Thank you. This is definitely my favorite Puerto Rican spot in the Wesley Chapel area and glad to see is a beautiful spot. They also have a live band noticed as they were setting up when we were leaving. They are open until midnight on weekends.

Let's start from the top. Lady walking around with a camera?? Get outta here. Then no napkins or silverware, dang. That's a bummer. Server was nice, I like the guy. Don't know his name though. Menu was large. Apps were solid. They are what have this place rated at a 2 otherwise it might be much worse. Entrees were fine. Nobody was stoked around the table but it was still good and everything was taken down bottom line. Will I come back, no. Will I recommend it, nah. But here it is. Fun, packed out and here. So good on em, keep trucking.

There was a huge party here so there was literally one low table left and the rest are chairs at the bar and two high tables. Thankfully we got the low table and meanwhile people kept coming in. Our order took a while but understandable bc there's only one person cooking and she did such a great job. This is a small family and they are Puerto Rican and Venezuelan this that food is what you will find here. You will find a good mix of Venezuelan arepas as well as entrees such as sancocho and mofongo. Happy that we ate here. A lot of people took their food to go, but it definitely tastes much better straight from the kitchen.

The first Rice N Beans location was in a modest location and then it became a big restaurant in Wesley Chapel. Now they have this new location which is closer to their first location. They serve rotisserie chicken here and other dishes depending on the day of the week. This is a Puerto Rican restaurant. They do not have mofongo. You can find that at their restaurant. Here, I would definitely say to choose their chicken. It was so good and flavorful. We ordered the full chicken and it included two sides which we chose arroz con gandules and Maduros (rice and sweet plantains). The chicken was our fave for sure and we would definitely get it again. The service was very friendly. I came late on Wednesday night. They close at 7 and it was about 6:45. I picked up a menu and came back the next day. Glad I stopped by and tried the chicken. It was great. There are many chicken places opening up around us, but it's fried chicken. This is roasted chicken. I love Puerto Rican rice arroz con gandules, but I'd ask if it's newly made. I didn't think this rice we had was as fresh and it didn't have much flavor. I would try the rice again if I saw they just made it! This area is becoming a Latin crawl for food. Go to Kinka's for breakfast or dessert, Cosita Rica's for empanadas or soups, and Rice N Beans Express for chicken!
