This hidden little gem completely rocked my world! I've never had mofongo until now but my husband is from Puerto Rico... even he said this place was absolutely amazing, and yes they are from the island. It shows in the cooking. There are no words to accurately describe how tasty, perfect, and wonderful each dish we had was, so you'll just have to try it for yourself. We will definitely be back and I intend to try everything on the menu.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOIDTHIS IS THE WORST “(restaurant)” run in the whole Jax Fl area.This people had NO CLUE of what or how to run a real restaurant.The worst service followed by aDirty place equal a not so pleasant experience.This people don’t have any idea on how to cook true PR food.Son unos PUERCOS… is a disgusting place with Volatil and clueless owners.This place should be shot down by the city ASAP. To avoid cross contamination and more people getting SICK by this IGNORANT owner.

I was actually excited to try the food at this place, everyone has been talking good things about this place. But im actually disappointed. The octupus salad didn’t have no taste/flavor i had to add some salt and the octupus was all chewy. Mofongo without the mayoketchup is dry! Overpriced and is not even good. If it was good I wouldn’t complain

Sat at table for 1 hour, had my 90 year old mother in law with me.....no service, no appetizers and no food. They forgot about us while serving all that called in and came in after us. What a disappointment for mothers day.

Delicious! Got their $9.99 lunch special - Pechuga la plancha & arroz con gandules (grilled chicken breast and rice w/pigeon peas). Loved every bite and was perfect for lunch. Had that dish a couple times before and it was just as good (if not better) as the time before. So much flavor! We have a business next door and we have seen these great people build and grow. Such a nice and hard-working family! Support small business!
