    Very tasty Puerto Rican dishes - takes a little while to make, but worth it! Empanadillas had ample stuffing. I had the mixed mofongo with shrimp, octopus, and conch, and a passion fruit frappe.

    This restaurant is excellent! We are very much so not Puerto Rican and this was our first authentic restaurant of the sort. The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely phenomenal. The music was fun and the atmosphere was great. We just moved into a place around the corner and will be back for sure! A+ experience :)

    Every time I go to Florida, I need to stop here Is like that perfect stop to enjoy a little music, food, and drinks and had some good time with friends and family. I highly recommend this place for your next stop in FL.

    Used to order all the time but I’ve been disappointed lately. My alcapurria came with the paper still fried to it.

    We had a fantastic time! Our first time here. They let us know when we got here that there'd be a bit of a wait, because they'd just opened. So we placed our order and sat outside, beautiful day for it. The food arrived fresh, hot, and delicious! They make their mofongo from scratch, and it was perfect and flavorful. The chicken chicharrones were crispy outside and tender inside! I highly recommend this place :)

    The conch were fermented with bubbles forming all over it smelled like it had gone bad the mofongo’s were hard like rock and the salad’s weren’t fresh I couldn’t even eat the food looked like I would get food poisoning *****To answer your question How do you expect me to arrive at your restaurant when you clearly stated that your food is high quality and I am driving an 18 wheeler ?? how do you want me to get in your parking??? that's the reason why I had it delivered to me when you serve me high quality food then I’ll take my post down !!!!!! *****

    Que Riiiiico. I've seen this place for a while now since I moved into the neighborhood. As a New York Rican I love the island feel to this restaurant. The Ferrer Roche Frappe was delicious! The chicharon de pollo and maduros con una Malta was on point. One satisfied customer. Be back soon

    When this restaurant opened it was really good, but little by little it’s gets worse. Today I ordered and and the meat was not fully cooked, the take out boxes where all greasy (like they took the carne frita and just dumped it in the boxes), salad was and tostones were all greasy, and rice had no flavor. Why do people open restaurants up and start off good then go down hill.

    The food had good taste. Service was great. I was treated very nicely by both ladies serving at the moment. Lots of people mostly sitting outside enjoying their Sunday. I was there around 2pm and there is a security guy at entrance who checks inside purses and frisks the guys. I can understand that happening probably after 6pm but at daylight?

    First time eating here in person, but have ordered before on Doordash and truthfully brings me back memories to growing up in a Puerto Rican household. I ordered a Mofongo con Camarones al Ajillo and a Guanabana Frappe. It was so delicious. Truthfully the vibe of the location is amazing live music. Friendly servers and quick service. Overall I highly recommend coming.

    Not only do they serve frappes but have some authentic Puerto Rican fried foods. I ordered a couple empanadillas both were really good but the shrimp was amazing. I later ordered another shrimp but it had been sitting too long in the warmer. They had a live Latin duo performing. Their performance was decent with a nice friendly comedic twist but their sound system wasn't set up well and came over rough. All in all we had a really good time.

    A taste of Puerto Rico. Alcalpurrias are my favorite. Music is perfect. At times they have live bands. Their menu is awesome.

    Mediocre at best. Good selection of Puerto Rican goodies, poorly prepared.overgrilled chicken breast. Limp veggies. Probably a good place to drink, to eat , not so good. .
