This place is nothing short of amazing. I decided on this on my way to Arby's. I'm not from Palm Bay, I'm from Orlando. There are places like this in Orlando but not on the same level as this place. They're organized, friendly, and the food is fresh, hot and delicious and tastes like my mom's. They offer a wide variety of Caribbean flavors from traditional Puerto Rican prepared dishes to Jamaican cuisine. I secretly judge places by how their yuca looks and tastes. Most places let their yuca dry out. Not here! It was moist and flavorful like how my mom makes it! I got beef and arroz con gandules (rice and peas). It was delicious, and hot. The meat was tasty, moist and had nearly no fat on it. Most of the places I've been are happy to serve you fatty chunks of meat that you gotta pick the fat off of (if you're like me). Again, not here. Only juicy morsels of perfectly tender chunks of beef! They have a serpentine and numbering system so that people aren't standing all over the place disorganized. The restaurant is spotless. If my mom had a restaurant, this place represents how it would be. I'm planning to drive the hour back here to eat here again with my family! I'm impressed. I als

** UPDATE** My son and I woke up sick! Projectile both ends, never ever again 😭 ** We are disappointed. I haven’t been to this spot in over a year. Right as soon as we got our number, I could tell the woman had a “hurry up” vibe. Whatever, we moved on from that. Now the serving... she gave me plenty of rice. It was cheap rice, you could tell by the flavor — “Uncle Ben’s.” Whatever. But when she got to the beans, she was very frugal. I mean, she hardly put beans on that spoon and even shook some off! Then she went back for half a spoon of gravy. Finally, we moved on to a young man. He was worse than she was with the food portions. I let him know what I wanted. He put the smallest amount, then went back pretending he was putting more. He grabbed a dry old side piece, like a 1-inch crumb on the spoon. I then said, “What the heck? Oh no no,” nicely, still smiling, but I was losing my patience. However, I wanted to see what else would happen. He then put about 2 inches of a fresher part. Then for my husband’s plate, he dug around for the dry old sweet bananas. My husband looked at me, and I requested more. I paid extra for ones that were “not as old.” I watched him closely on my st

First time visitor. Large variety of latin Cusine. Food was freshly cooked and the seasoning was authentic. Portion size was good and you won't leave hungry. Pastries were plenty. Price was reasonable. I look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommend eating here.

Ordered on Sunday chicken rice and plantain. My chicken was super dry and hard. I couldn’t even eat it. I’ll give it a one out of 10 I’ve never had Chicken from here that dry and blend before. How are the rice and the plantains were super good empanada potato bowl and the pork was excellent. So disappointed in the rotisserie chicken definitely will never order again for only rice and plantain $12 was a little bit expensive
