Delicious food and desserts, we all had mofongo with carne frita, chicharrón de pollo, palomilla. The flan, budín y piña upside down cake was on point. Our server Manuel was great. Truly recommend

Food was amazing and the service was even better. Our waiter, Manuel was awesome. So nice and knowledgeable of the menu. We all liked him in our group of 7. I loved the trifongo with chicharrón de pollo. Also, the pernil was delicious. Our friend liked the pasteles a lot but it lacked a bit in salt. The mojito de parcha was really good. We keep coming back and it’s consistent.

Mofongo was excellent as was the beef stew! Also had a smoked pork which was surprisingly good (very different from pernil or pork chunks) and finished off with tres leches (three milks).

This was my first time visiting the restaurant. The level of service and the food was great. Our server Manuel was exceptional and was very attentive. Will be there again and will spread the word to friends and family of this little piece of land of Puerto Rico in the middle of Florida. ❤️

We found this little gem only 15mins away from our home in Pompano beach. We had the regular mofongo with fry chicken chunks I requested the sweet plantain mofongo and the chef was more then happy to make it for me it was absolutely delicious I had it with the fry pork. The closest toOur little island not just in flavor but costumer service was also great!

Went there today for lunch and it was AMAZING!!!I never write reviews but this definitely deserved it.The staff was friendly and the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!IVe had Mofongo at numerous restaurantsand this was by far the best ive EVER had.Had the Mofongo,Trifongo, ans the slider appetizer.The pork was so tender it literally melted in my mouth.Every bite was like heaven.My friend got the coconut mojito(I hate mojitos and not a fan of coconut) and it was so good that I even ordered one.And their sauces!!!I literally cannot put into words how good everything was and very reasonably priced.Cant believe I never knew about this hidden gem.Will definitely be back!!!!!
