    Great Peruvian sandwich place with small dine in area, but the food was very delicious and was served very very fast. We had the lomo saltado with rice and beans and lomo saltado sandwich.

    Solid place for Peruvian food. Got the lomo saltado and 11 spice chicken bowls. The chicken was a highlight. Wish there was more protein vs rice and beans ratio as the meat was delicious. Fast and kind service.

    This place is off the hook! Order the Chicharron Sandwich, definitely the beef empanada, the 11 spice chicken and the mini causa. The owners are very hospitable and will remember you by name.

    Due to Covid transactions are done through a plastic sheath but beyond that I give J28 five stars. I ordered the pork sandwich and found it to be unique in a good way. First, I thought the bread which is this plump bun would overpower the sandwich but it acted like “air bread” and worked really well with the sandwich. It was also very fresh. The sandwich had a combination of pork, onions, and sweet potato which came together as a flavor bomb. I was totally sold on my unique sandwich and would return.

    My husband and I have been longtime customers of this establishment. There are not enough good things to say. The food is always fresh and prepared very well. Regardless of what item you select on the menu you will certainly enjoy it because it is so tasty. My personal favorite is the quinoa and beef bowl, but the pork sandwich is definitely something everyone has to try. The spicy sauce is freshly made and warning it is extremely hot, but delicious. I do not like spice myself, regardless I have to get this sauce every time I visit. You must try the chicha, which is a drink that taste like nothing you've had before. This is one of my favorite places to go and it is a staple in our community.

    Walk in to try out their sandwiches, which they are famous for. Order the pork sandwich and a coffee and paid over $20.00 which I think is way too high, especially considering that sandwich comes alone no sides, and barely had any meat, nothing out of the ordinary. Looking at their menu and prices/portions I will not come back.

    J28’s food is delicious! My wife and I both agree that this is one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Hollywood, Florida. Empanadas (beef & ají de gallina) with fire sauce. Ají de gallina bread bowl with potatoes on the side. Lomo Saltado over rice and beans. Excellent Peruvian food!

    I love Peruvian food but I had never tried a Peruvian sandwich! Amazing! I had the Butifarra and it was so good, the bun was fresh, lettuce crispy, pork tender and sliced thin, just sandwich perfection! The service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a sub but want to try something different, we loved it!

    One of the best tasting sandwiches I've had in this area. I had the pork and the sweet potato sandwich and it was really special - the pork was perfectly cooked, juicy, and very flavorful and it complimented the sweet potato perfectly. Overall highly recommend!

    Best sandwiches ever. I thought the 11 Spices was the best sandwich I'd ever had, but the owner said the pork belly sandwich was his and his customer's fave - so I tried it today - and he was right! Wow, what a combination of flavors!

    Disappointing….. we chose this place based on the Google reviews. We flew to Miami to visit family and get away from the Midwest for a few days. I hope that management can prevent this situation from happening again. I think this place has something good going. Based on the reviews, looks like we had an out of the ordinary experience, our only experience at this restaurant nevertheless. Food was okay. Small portions. Food super overpriced. Place lacks customer service. We were served extra food on accident. The gentleman there, not sure if he was the owner or manager came to our table to tell us that the cashier lady gave us an extra salad. He stood there awkwardly and finally said, “enjoy your free salad.” Let’s rewind a few minutes here. When we ordered it was unclear what we ordered. Apparently there are three variations to most dishes. When we ordered we weren’t given an option as we didn’t know how the menu worked. The lady kept nodding, not saying much. It would have been nice if she would have said something like, “Would you like that as a sandwich or served with rice and …” that way we knew our options. We asked her to repeat the order. It seemed accurate. The communication from the cashier should have been better. It was more than obvious that we hadn’t been there before. When the same lady who took our order served it to us, I commented to my wife, “Oh, I guess you (my wife) ordered two salads. I guess I’ll eat this one.” All along the lady didn’t say anything. She left back to the cashier area, away from our table. Fast forward two or so minutes…. Now there’s a man at our table showing his disapproval of our free salad. First of all, we didn’t want a free salad. We wanted the food that we ordered. It was unclear how the error occurred. If he was unhappy with giving away lettuce, he should take it up with his employee who was probably not properly trained. I struggle to give this place satisfactory marks due to the man’s lack of self awareness or disregard for us. The food was okay. Nothing to wrote home about. The portions were small and therefore overpriced. The dining experience was awkward because of the interaction with the cashier and the manager.

  • 5/5 chance d. 4 years ago on Google
    Just visiting Florida for a week, was more than impressed with this little peruvian sandwich shop! Coming in, the menu clearly explains the menu items (some denote the peruvian name and also note the english name, the entirely of the dish is listed, no surprises!) is clean and easily readable. Smaller sized menu, usually denotes the items they do make are all specialities and it shows. I tried the lomo saltado with rice and beans, and had a sampling of all 5 of their sauces as well. I'm not one for lengthy descriptions, the bowl was just well seasoned and tasty. Well cooked beef, more than enough rice and beans. Of the five sauces, the amarillo mixed with a little fire sauce was the best, though was also my favorite on its own. The green mint I could see being a favorite of many others. The owner? was very attentive to service, made friendly chit chat and made sure we were satisfied. My fiancee is already begging for us to make time for one more trip back before we fly home, and I'm thinking that's a good idea. Fantastic!

    Long time customer that simply wont be returning, anytime soon. The food and flavors are quite fantastic and I know they put a lot of thought into the food and its appreciated. They close right around dinner time (inconvenient) and not open on Mondays or Tuesdays (fair enough). I think they penny pinch thier customers too much. When I order empanadas, they only fill the sauce container half way up (the containers are super tiny to begin with). I have ordered lots of money in empanadas before and had to buy extra sauces just to have enough for all the food. This happens consistently. I recently asked to have one dish with onions, I was told they couldnt give me onions because there was no way to "charge for it". The owner then suggested I get another dish entirely (that has onions but is a completely different dish from what I ordered. I once asked for asked for tomatoes instead of beans, and they told me a buy a side salad that had tomatoes in it. I've decided to cross them off the list because these little customizations are not allowed even though I'm happily paying a premium for the food. Happily! But, I simply don't need a lecture everytime I want to get some onions (or whatever) on my dish.

    Fantastic sandwiches … tasty and filling but not super heavy. If you haven’t had Chicha, you should! It’s like Jamaica but made with a special kind of corn. Super nice people behind the counter as well.

    Amazing food! The pork belly is sooo delicious, the bread is fabulous and the service is great. Definitely coming back 👌🏻

  • 3/5 Miki C. 2 years ago on Google
    I've had the sandwiches here before which are good. But today I decided to order the Lomo Saltado bowl for delivery. I was surprised that the meat and sauce were already poured on top of the rice ( the fries were in a separate bag). Everywhere else I've ordered from has the meat/sauce in a different container so you can dole it out yourself. Anyway, the rice to sauce ratio was way off, not enough for that amount of rice. Which was sad because the sauce is what this dish is all about. The meat was tender and not overcooked. But oddly had a burnt taste to it. Like maybe some other food got burnt on the grill and it picked up the smoke taste. I'll stick to the sandwiches from now on.

    This was our #100 TripleD stop...despite Covid trying to mess things up we stopped by for some "ToGo" items! The Beef Empanadas were FANTASTIC! Tender snd Flaky crust loaded with spicy (but not too spicy unless you add the secret sauce as I did...whew!)... We ordered a Lomo Saltado/Beef Wok Stir Fry and a Mushroom Saltada Wok Stir Fry and they were AMAZING...a great combination of flavors....you know we'll be back for a dine in when we get the chance!! Thanks guys...hopefully we'll be past this whole Covid deal soon and you csn get back to business as usual!!!

    My husband and I stopped in for a quick lunch. We both had the 11 Spice chicken bowl. It was so yummy. What a great find. Fantastic!

    Ok food, too many uncooked onions; and so many better sandwich and Peruvian options in the area. Customers do not like when you start putting chairs on top of the tables next to you while you are eating. Especially if it’s still daylight.
