Flavorikan

I have been going to Flavorikan since the food truck on Atlantic days and during the pandemic. I've tried several Puerto Rican restaurants in Jacksonville and I have to say they are my favorite. Especially, since they've opened a brick and mortar. The downtown location may seem questionable to some, but don't let that fool you. Also I've never felt unsafe. Once you step inside, you feel the Caribbean vibe. On the day I went, which was a Saturday, they had karaoke. I loved that there was a lot of interaction with the guests. They have a regular menu and then there are the specials of the day. If you're not afraid to try something new, I would always recommend trying something from the special of the day. I also love that the food is full of flavor and never lacking. Also like the adult capri sun's and drink options. Would recommend.

Food and food for the day off at flavorikan Service was good Ambiance was fun!Lovely

Good food and cool staff.It was sketchy that you have to venmo for payment.Should have some sort of official payment setup.The chicken, rice and beans was good but had too much garlic. Sent me to the bathroom quick.The food tasted very fresh and I will give another try because I support all my Boricuans!Just a few minor changes needed to go from good to great!

The perfect taste of Puerto Rico right in the heart of Jacksonville. Service is amazing, food was amazing and prices are very reasonable! The ambiance is so nice, you can tell a lot of thought went into this place. Beautif

Browsing my delivery app for a new food to try, their place popped up. After seeing the empanadas it was a wrap.I ordered the Mariscos (Seafood), Langosta (Lobster), and Jueyes (Crab) Empanadillas and couldn't wait to get them.When they finally delivered they were still hot through the bag. As I layer them out to take photos my coworkers were asking me all kinds of questions about them. I finally bit into one and OMG this is the real deal. Nothing fake or imitation here. They were so good I should have ordered more. Definitely found a gem. I must tell my man about the Morcilla and Alcapurria.

Muy rico desde la papa rellena,al alcapurria de jueyes y tripleta y el mofongo todo la cerveza bien fría y muy acogedor el lugar.

I've heard of this place long before I got a chance to give it a try. Today was the day! Location wise, it's situated great for games or eats when you don't want the usual tailgate food (it's so close to the stadium you can walk there) however it's not really in an ideal spot for "foot traffic". I went around lunch time and it seems that this is the spot to eat at if your anywhere near here. There was a constant flow of people. The decor, smells, and vibes screamed Puerto Rico. The counter top has a warmer full of empanadas, all sorts, kinds I never even heard of. I ordered a beef empanada, the pork bites plate, and a sandwich for my husband. The empanada almost didn't make it home. I took a bite in the car and couldn't help taking another and another. There were 2 sauces given so I figured I should save a small piece so that I could use the sauce provided. One sauce was spicy (similar to a hot sauce) the other was like a mayo base with a pinkish color. Both were good, especially together. The pork bite plate was good. The pork itself was tasty and cooked really well. The outside was crunchy and the inside was moist. The rice wasn't bad but I expected more flavor. The salad was wilted by the time I got to it. I think it was the heat from the other food. It would probably be best to separate them when it's a to-go order. The Cubano sandwich was huge, like cover the plate huge and my husband said it was really good (mind you, it was on the cold side when he ate it and that was still his response). As far as payment goes, they do not accept cards, only venmo, cash app, or zelle. That could pose a issue for some, like older customers who may not use those and don't have cash available. I did have minor difficulty understanding the menu, Spanish is the first language of the establishment. The specials for the day were in Spanish without translation underneath. The menu does have translation so that's a plus. Now let's talk about the wait...that's what I took off stars for. I understand it was the lunch rush but I waited for some time just for take out. I also noticed many of the customers that opted to fine in waiting on there food as well. I would suggest definitely calling in your order, or wondering online if you don't want to wait. I saw so many other things I wanted to try on the menu. I most certainly will be back

Flavorikan has been one of those places I've been wanting to try. That day came when my buddy, my friend, a fellow Boricuan (Puerto Rican) suggested we eat here.Flavorikan is a stationary food truck, which is situated in a parking lot, setup with tables with blue and red Puerto Rican themed umbrellas. Walking up to the counter you'll smell a small hint of that delicious aroma. Checkout their menu...BUT BE PREPARED TO PATIENTLY WAIT AFTER YOU'VE PLACED YOUR ORDER. In exception to their Empanadas, everything here is made from scratch. I've noticed that people who frequent this place doesn't seem to mind waiting because they know what they'll get it return....delicious food.Once you get your food, have a seat, take a bite, close your eyes and just enjoy your food and listen to the Reggaeton music playing loudly in the background. It'll feel as if you're in the island. I know it did for me.My song "Tusa" (sung by Karol G) came on and me and my boy was singing out loud (insert scratched record sound). Folks, the food here taste authentic. I have Boricuan friends that swears by this place. There's nothing else to tell ya.Ay Dios Mios...hurry up and get your Culo to Flavorikan.

Hidden gem. The outside is bright, music playing, seating area. Its a really cute setup. Everyone was super nice, the good was beyond good.They have alot to choose from. I ordered 3 empanadas: crab, lobster, and beef/cheese/plaintain. I also ordered the fried cheese, pork belly (its a large app), and mufungo. I'll get 3 meals, or more out of it, bit wanted to try a variety. This is a must try food truck. It sits back in a parking lot by a car dealership, and just past/across from an ihop on Atlantic. They had frappes that looked delicious, but I figured I would save that for another day. Ill definitely be back

The best authentic dishes I have tasted so far in Jacksonville. The menu has lots of choices so I will continue visiting until I am not satisfied with the dishes. The place rocks
