“Kid-friendliness: Great place to eat is one of the best food trucks in Jax I ever tried, great food, friendly customer service and good music or movie. I do recommend to tried every plate from here they all good I always try the Taqueño with guava sauce, but other than all the most thing I love from this place is that everything is made fresh and taste like made from god. If y’all tried this restaurant won’t regret coming and I promise you guys will come back to eat ❤️“
“I missed celebrating Peruvian Independence Day with family so I was looking for a restaurant with authentic fare. The servers were very nice and were very attentive. The menu was filled with all my Peruvian favorites including lomo saltado, ceviche, aji de gallina, seco and many others. I couldn't make up my mind so I went with the lomo. The lomo was different than what I was used to and used more of a soy based sauce than a cumin/tomato sauce but it was EXCELLENT. It was also a treat to find diet Inka Cola there. Can't wait to go back to try some other dishes.“
“We weren’t very hungry, but we wanted to try this place because we were in the area and I highly recommend it. It was excellent. The service was above par. The people were super nice. The owner stopped by to say hello. I can’t say enough definitely will go back.Parking: Parking was great plenty of spots. Good location on university.“
“Give this place some support! The location can't seem to hold onto restaurants, but they need to hold onto this one. Really good food, excellent portions, friendly bilingual service, football on the TV. It's open Saturday and Sunday.“
“We been thinking of trying this restaurant before we head back back to our snowy home. Sat down on the dog friendly patio with Blanding Ave right in front of us. Considering we're in the city, no prob. Hector the waiter was there almost instantly. He gave us menus and got our drink orders. Back with the drinks quite quickly. Ordered and once again, bringing the food out fairly quick. I appreciate that as I don't like sitting and waiting for food. Food came out hot, temp wise. We shared the shrimp with rice soup. Nice taste, not too fishy. Shrimp was plentiful. Our 2nd dish was the stewed chicken . Came with rice, I ordered yellow and white rice came out and black beans (not much flavor at all). Chicken was tender and we'll cooked. It did lack flavor. More like a chicken in it's own juices rather than a stewed chicken. Overall the dinner and time spent was good.“
“This gem is Jacksonville’s best kept secret. The space is clean, the ambience is inviting and warm, and the food is absolutely, scrumptious, and delicious. If you are not familiar with Puerto Rican cuisine , it is worth a try here. We’re talking about well seasoned and fresh cuisine . This restaurant even has alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, such as sangria piña coladas . If you are looking for a place to grab a tasty bite this is the place. They have Take out if you are in a dash to dine or sit a while if you have the time . Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, they do it all well here. You will not be disappointed.“
“I've heard of this place long before I got a chance to give it a try. Today was the day! Location wise, it's situated great for games or eats when you don't want the usual tailgate food (it's so close to the stadium you can walk there) however it's not really in an ideal spot for "foot traffic". I went around lunch time and it seems that this is the spot to eat at if your anywhere near here. There was a constant flow of people. The decor, smells, and vibes screamed Puerto Rico. The counter top has a warmer full of empanadas, all sorts, kinds I never even heard of. I ordered a beef empanada, the pork bites plate, and a sandwich for my husband. The empanada almost didn't make it home. I took a bite in the car and couldn't help taking another and another. There were 2 sauces given so I figured I should save a small piece so that I could use the sauce provided. One sauce was spicy (similar to a hot sauce) the other was like a mayo base with a pinkish color. Both were good, especially together. The pork bite plate was good. The pork itself was tasty and cooked really well. The outside was crunchy and the inside was moist. The rice wasn't bad but I expected more flavor. The salad was wilted by the time I got to it. I think it was the heat from the other food. It would probably be best to separate them when it's a to-go order. The Cubano sandwich was huge, like cover the plate huge and my husband said it was really good (mind you, it was on the cold side when he ate it and that was still his response). As far as payment goes, they do not accept cards, only venmo, cash app, or zelle. That could pose a issue for some, like older customers who may not use those and don't have cash available. I did have minor difficulty understanding the menu, Spanish is the first language of the establishment. The specials for the day were in Spanish without translation underneath. The menu does have translation so that's a plus. Now let's talk about the wait...that's what I took off stars for. I understand it was the lunch rush but I waited for some time just for take out. I also noticed many of the customers that opted to fine in waiting on there food as well. I would suggest definitely calling in your order, or wondering online if you don't want to wait. I saw so many other things I wanted to try on the menu. I most certainly will be back“
