I was looking for a latino place to eat while in my training and found this place. Chicken was good and juice,service fast but that rice and beans were bland and tasteless . I had to add salt and pepper for flavor. Got the lunch special which includes 2 sides . Just know that rice and beans will make your 2 sides

Was in the mood for Mofongo and this place did not fail at all. The mofongo were really flavorful and tasty. The lechon was seasoned really good. The pastelillos were also delicious. Only pickle that bothered me was the arroz con guandulez had pegao in it and it bothered me cause I don’t like pegao. That was a bummer. Everything else was delicious! Definitely would go back!

Been coming here infrequently for almost 20 years. The owners are lovely, the man is like a stern dad & his wife is a beautiful ray of sunshine. I love them both. I'm Puertorrican from the island and have always been very happy with the food especially considering they don't put pork products in any of their foods except for the obvious pernil & the pasteles that I buy for my mom. I can always count on them to provide amazing food and warm service.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you likely get the service you deserve...if you go in there with an entitled attitude I can't imagine you getting the warmest service & I respect that they don't put up with less. This is a family owned restaurant who's been in business for quite some time and that doesn't come without hard work, perseverance and heart.

One reviewer assumed the owner was rude to him because the customer wasn't Latino. The owners aren't latino either so that's not the reason, I guarantee it.

Another reviewer said it was in a bad neighborhood. What are you talking about? Pinellas Park is 95% single family homes with working class ppl, & both white and blue collar workers. It's safer than downtown.

This place is my first choice for Puertorrican food always. Even when I have Cuban friends over this is who we buy from & they've been happy as well. ❤️

Vegetarian options: Rice, beans, arroz con gandules, plantains, yuca

Food did not have much flavor. Beans taste like it came out a can with no seasoning and chicken could use some spices too. Food wasn't terrible, but not great.

I’m Latino and know my latin cuisine. The food tasted old and stale. They also don’t stack your plate. Nearly ALL latino places are known for giving you a lot of food for the price. Not here. Not returning unless food is served fresh daily and generous portions are
