La Gran Parada

I came here with a couple of coworkers for lunch. They have a great menu but during lunch they instruct the waitresses to limit what people order to what's already prepared. I understand the strategy but that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. The food that we ordered was great. Appetizer pork chicharon was crispy and delicious. I had a goat stew with white rice. It was so good I had to look up the recipe and recreate it for my family that weekend.

This is my second time at this restaurant. From the outside kinda looks just like a regular storefront business but the one thing is the food is great! The service is good too sometimes there's a little bit of a way because it's always busy. Every time I have gone they've had karaoke and it gets a little loud but it's such a fun place. The pictures are from both times that I came I actually end up getting the same thing because the second time they didn't have chicken crackling. I'll definitely be back

Great Dominican food. Excellent and very friendly service. I'd highly recommend any of the braised meat dishes with a side of rice and fantastic beans. Also try the chicken chicharron (we would have also tried the pork but they were out that day). And don't leave without trying their house-made hot sauce if you want to spice things up a bit!

The food was great! The place was located in a little sketchy part of town, I actually hesitated in even stopping. Very limited parking spots, the waitresses cater to the male customers but overall we went to eat the food which we don't have back home, and the food did not disappoint.

A great authentic Puerto Rico find on Beach Blvd in Jacksonville. Support local and gov them a try. The staff are bilingual so f you do not speak Spanish, don't worry!

Terrible atmosphere. Extremely limited menu and extremely loud. I asked to please turn down the volume of the music and they didn't so we just got up and left. If you're hungry, don't come here as the menu only has daily specials and all are similar so the option is limited.

Great tasty fall off the bone Beef Ribs and BBQ Ribs. Exceptional service by the bilingual staff.

I will never be coming back here. The customer service is horrible. You wait over 30 minutes just to get food that's supposed to be already prepared.The server girls were playing with their hair, eating and drinking stuff while working and serving food.My first and last time here. They even brought the wrong dish of food out and weren't apologetic or did anything about it. On top of that the music is so loud inside forget hearing someone or trying to have a conversation.Go elsewhere. The floors are dirty here too.

The food here is authentic delicious that's hits the soul.Real Dominican flavors now I have a place that replaced my ex wife cooking . Whenever I'm in town I got to hit this place.

Will I call it authentic Dominican food, as a DR born Dominican & raised in NYC with delicious Dominican restaurants I will say NO.. I walked in and there was cumbia playing which is fine considering being a Hispanic restaurant and wanting to be inclusive I guess (when I walk into local PR restaurants it feels like I'm in PR with music and vibes this restaurant did not give Dominican vibes), second their snacks and deserts were conchas and other Mexican items, their drinks were jarritos again Mexican drink..no jugó de tamarindo, no jugó de chinola, no jugó de cereza, no jugó de guanábana, etc...The food looked old and the chicharrón looked like a bite will either break your teeth or choke you to death with how dry and burnt it was. Las costillas were burnt and the rice looked like it was left over or reheated and it was only 12PM NOON. Overall I walked in and was so disappointed, that I only ordered fried cheese and salami (waited 20 minutes and she wanted me to wait 45 mins for 3 golpes) because you can't mess that up. I was so embarrassed to take my friends to this "Dominican" place that I found because I genuinely feel this is not an authentic representation of our culture!
