This place used to go by a Spanish name Jardin de Pollos or something like that. My previous review is no longer showing so I thought I would repost now that they’re going by a new name. This is a food truck with picnic tables around it. I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing, just don’t come here and expect a restaurant experience because you won’t get it. What you will get is over cooked chicken, cold empanadas, rice that seems like it comes from a box mix and high prices. Is it edible? Yes. But I can buy a much better meal for 2 people than what we received for our $50+ here.

first time visit had the lunch special of a quarter of a chicken with sweet potato fries and plantains. It was very reasonably priced and was delicious. Enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere and the music and the great service. Highly recommend.

Really pretty atmosphere! I ordered the 1/4 white chicken with plantains and yuca fries. It was delicious! Also, the $5 sangria comes in a big cup and was perfect! Nice and very helpful staff!

This is such a cute Tiki style spot with outdoor seating. Very friendly staff and very good service. I ordered a half chicken with rice and tostones. The chicken was very flavorful, well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. I wasn't a fan of the rice. It's supposed to be crispy rice but the texture just tastes undercooked. The tostones were a lot thinner than I'd like and am used to having. But overall the food was very good. I'd definitely come back.

Stumbled here looking for whole chickenBest smokey chicken ever.
So glad we stumbled across this place, it was delicious!!! We had chicken, empanadas, rice and beans, fried plantains, fried yuca, and Cuban flan. Every last thing was great! We will definitely be back. Unfortunately, it was so good, that it was empty plates before I even thought to take a picture.
Very good South American style chicken and sides. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.

What a cool place that kind of looks like a garden nursery or landscape business from the outside. It's just a couple blocks off the perimeter of downtown Denedin. They offer fresh , smoked chicken with South American sides ( rice. Plantains Beans , sweet potatoes). Everything was delicious but the ambience makes it extra special . The seating is 100% outdoors but protected and intimate because of pergolas and vines and lots of greenery . The owner runs the smoker but he also carved wood and made the furniture and all of the beautiful carved tikis and poles . It's a beautiful oasis and there is a lovely artist studio on property with gorgeous mobiles .

Oye! If you love chicken, be prepared to have your socks blown off!! With a smoker imported from Bolivia, the chicken is fresh, juicy, fragrant, and utterly delicious! And, if you don't enjoy chicken, they offer salads and empanadas, sweet potatoes, and fried plantains. The service is warm, friendly, and the ambiance is lively, inviting, and tropical. With exquisite attention to detail, this gem is not to be missed! Excellente!!
The garden patio is beautiful, the music is fun, and the food is amazing and fresh! First visit and won’t be the
