As soon as you walk in you are warmly greeted and promptly seated. We had the Cuban and the breakfast sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. We also tried the empanadas which were very tasty, love the flavor and texture of the empanadas. We also had the flan-------- GET THE FLAN!!!

I decided to try this new spot for the first time and overall it's not bad at all. I was starving and didn't want to cook dinner but craved something different so I headed out and finally gave it a chance. I love Spanish food since I'm from the Caribbean also so I already knew what to expect having grown up eating Authentic Puerto Rican food and other similar dishes from various cultures as well.Upon walking in I was greeted by a nice gentleman who asked if I'd like to dine in or do takeout. I opted for takeout since I had a few other stops on the way home. I ended up placing an order for the Pernil (shredded pork) with rice and beans with a side of plantains. The cashier rung me up for tostones but I asked a server to be sure I got the regular fried sweet plantains I wanted and she politely relayed the message to the cook for me. My meal came up to about $20 it was a little more than I expected. I waited about 45 min to an hour before receiving my meal so that was a bit disappointing but Once I got home to dive in that kind of made up for it since the food was delicious the pork was seasoned well and not too salty. I wish the rice and beans were already combined but that they were still good to being separate. The portion size was perfect and I was actually able to make two meals out of it having leftovers for my lunch the next day. So I guess 20 bucks was not bad after all since I was able to make 2 meals out of 1.The restaurant was pretty full on this day surprisingly so that's a good thing as I've noticed many times passing by they seemed to get pretty packed. I visited this location prior when it was a Mexican restaurant so I'm very familiar with the interior but I like what the new owners did to give the space a bit of sprucing up. As I left everyone was kind thanked me for coming and told me goodbye. I would recommend and I will probably come back only place my order ahead to avoid the long wait.

This was our first time trying this place out, so we ordered a few different things to share. We first had the beef empanadas (which were way bigger than we expected for the price). They packed a flavor punch!We also had the crazy fries which were HUGE and had lots of great flavors and textures.My husband ordered the La Jibara (chicken & bacon wrapped mofongo, smothered in the most amazing cilantro cream sauce and cheese) with a side of this amazing rice dish that was SO GOOD! Like jambalaya, but with Carribbean flavors and sweet plantains... We ended with a guava pastry and some cheese flan. The flan was out of this world! We will definitely be back!

Highly recommended! This place offers an authentic taste of Puerto Rican cuisine, transporting you to the streets of Puerto Rico without needing a plane ticket. The bacalao guisado with white rice and maduro was exceptional, capturing the essence of Puerto Rican flavors found in places like the Bronx and Jersey City. The beef empanadas were a standout, reminiscent of those enjoyed on Puerto Rican beaches - rich and flavorful. The only downside was the slightly higher prices, with rice and main dishes averaging around $18. Nevertheless, discovering this gem in Clermont was a delight, and I'm eager to return for their live music on Fridays and Saturdays and to explore more of their menu.

I was a regular customer until today that the quality of the dinner plate I always order was totally different. La Jibara chicken plate was dry and very thin compare to previous even the mofongo was dry. The manposteao that is the highlight of the restaurant was just rice and beans. I mentioned it to the staff and they said nothing changed nor the cook, etc. Even the water was very bad unlike before. Their service has always been slow and inattentive but we put up with it since the food was so good. This is another latin restaurant that could not maintain the quality that made them popular. Many of us drove from Orlando because it was so good. Let see how this story ends.

Nice to have another Puerto Rican restaurant here at Clermont. They have both the food serves from the steamed table and from the menu. The service was great. Our waitress checked back with us several times and answered all our questions about the food. I got the crazy fries as lunch and it was so reasonably priced at only $10. The fries was loaded with pull pork, mozzarella cheese, and Mayo-ketchup. Definitely will come back to try their other dishes and maybe even get to go order from the steamed table on my way home from work.

Food was super good! El Tostón Jibaro sauces gave it great flavor. My family ate the soup of the day and churrasco steak. Flan con guava - I just thought they would smear guava on the top but it was stuffed. I will definitely go again with the family.

If you love tons of salt in your food then this is the restaurant for you! The service was good and that is about it. I can't begin to describe the amount of salt in the fried chicken chunks!!! It was so high in salt that you taste it the next day!! Also, the La Jibarita dish was extremely dry and bland...probably because they used all the salt on the chicken chunks! It truly is shameful that a restaurant can be this bad!
