As an islander, this brought back the taste of Puerto Rico. We sampled about half the menu, and were not disappointed. Food was fresh, tasty, made to order. I can’t rave about El Punto enough. Guillermo and “la Jefa” are wonderful, friendly, and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back.
It’s says their open and an address drove 30mins and their not even there!! What going on with these restaurants and false information on good.

This is the best Puerto Rican food I have ever eaten, better than anything I ate while visiting PR. I have ordered from el punto many many times over the past couple of years & they are absolutely one of the best places to eat in Alachua county. 10/10 definitely recommend.

I bought 2 skewers, one chicken and one pork. They came without bread. Who sells a skewer without bread? The pork was raw on the inside and the meat was very tough and I threw it away. I bought a cod and it was thinner than paper and salty. I was so happy because finally some Puerto Rican food here in Gainesville but nothing to see. I even got sick because of it. the skewer ?

Si no quieres extrañar esos platos típicos puertorriqueños, como el mofongo, arroz con gandules, carne frita, empanadillas caseras, entre otros, Gainesville es la respuesta. No solo el chef es carismático, sino que su comida es súper deliciosa. ¡Food Truck #1!

Amazing Spanish food and so fresh! The owners are so sweet I come here all of the time and get their pizza empanadillas and pork shush-kabobs!
When I tell y'all that this place is fire ? ??? the most Authentic delicious Puerto Rican food in Gainesville. Hats off to the owner/cook Guillermo, who was friendly, funny and professional while conducting business and not to mention the music and location were also on point. It's worth every penny.Parking: It's free and right beside the food truck

Best and most authentic Puerto Rican food in the Gainesville area. The alcapurrias, monfongo, arroz con gadules and masitas de puerco are phenomenal. The masitas were the best I have ever had. I highly recommend this food truck and I plan on coming back.

My experience was pretty good. The owners were friendly, I had the Chicharon de Pollo with mofongo and a beef empanada. All of which were great. The chicken was extremely crispy while also maintaining moisture which was a nice surprise, the mofongo had good flavor. The beef empanada was great, it had a nice crunchy outside with a very moist interior. Overall it was a good experience.
