Pa'lla Voy Restaurant

I was not aware of any Puerto Rican restaurants in Sanford until I found this place by accident. So glad I did give them a try. It is a small, but cozy restaurant with a great staff. They were very friendly and warm people. If you're in a hurry, you can order food from the steam table (a staple of PR restaurants). Everything in that table looked delicious. If you are willing to wait for your food, they have a pretty good a la carte menu. I had the Mofongo with Shrimp in Garlic sauce. It was a solid dish. Absolutely delicious. And they didn't skimp on the shrimp either. It was a large portion and I am definitely not complaining about that. In my opinion, the owners hit a homerun with this restaurant. I wish them the best of luck. Will definitely go back while in the area.

Not bad, wears its heritage on its sleeve but not on their foodWanted to try one more breakfast spot, so came to this place right next to the coffee spot I adore to give them a try.They were not ready for me to come in, so I ended up waiting up front for a couple minutes till someone came over. They started in Spanish, but switched to English once I responded in English. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, mainly because I wanted something quick. 15 minutes later and 10 dollars down, got my breakfast sandwich. It was fresh, but they don't make these things very often so it took them a while.As for the sandwich, it was very much just the items on the menu and nothing else. No flavor, no spices, no sauce, just a plain egg and turkey sandwich with cheese. The bread was good, the rest was just bland.I do understand that eggs are pricy, and a place that doesn't do breakfast traditionally would have a harder time executing those dishes. What I got had no soul, no passion. And when the location advertises itself so loudly it's a shame to see that same enthusiasm not expressed in their food.If they get a chance to read this review, bring the flavor in everything you do. Throw some sofrito on things, make some sauces and bring the heat. Sprinkle some saizon, make some adobo aoli, your location screams Puerto Rico, show it off in everything you do. If you can't make a dish that is representative of your people, the don't serve it.I'm hoping the rest of their fare is much better, but as a breakfast joint they just don't have the desire to do well. Avoid for breakfast, but overall not bad. Just very basic

Very good food . Puerto Rican flavors !Live music and great service !Traditional cocktails.Great location !

I love Puerto Rican food so I had to come here and try this place out! It's a bit small but it's very clean and nicely decorated inside. The staff here are super friendly.I got arroz con gandules, beans on the side, and chicken. The food was pretty good. I was surprised how much chicken they gave me! My mom got the white rice with pork and sweet plantains. She really enjoyed her meal as well and said it reminded her of the food back home. If you are in the area definitely give them a try! You will not leave hungry. The plates here are packed!

Food: Authentic food that always has a lot of flavor! I have tried many of their dishes and they were all good. I especially love when they have the meatballs! So flavorful! Their rice is very tasty! Everything has the right amount of salt. Service: Always good when I go! They will answer questions of you have them, give recommendations, and hook it up with a nice big portion of food. Ambiance: This place is chill, casual, family vibes! It's cafeteria style so you can see all of their offerings. There are tables inside to sit!

Had to try this Puerto Rican restaurant. It's very casual and super clean inside. It's a walk up and order kind of place. I was excited to see all the food choices. My only complaint is a lot of the items have olives in it. I know this is a Puerto Rican thing, but I still am not a fan of them. Ha! I just pick them out. For those of you who are, enjoy!Service was quick and friendly. They make fried food fresh, like my alcapurria. I was happy this didn't have olives. The quesito was good, but just wish it had more quesito in it. I'll definitely be back for this delicious food and great portion size for the money.

Wow! It takes alot to impress my OG Hispanic parents, but lunch today was a feast for all of us. Pa'lla Voy in Sanford, just over a year old, has many patrons lining up for their delicious Puerto Rican food served in VERY generous portions. The restaurant, next to Quigley Coffee on Rinehart Road, is large with plenty of seating. Brunch is available AND they cater. The standards in Hispanic cuisine, pernil and arroz con gandules, are available and I guarantee whatever you order, you'll have leftovers for lunch the next day. This place is an absolute gem and I recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a legit Hispanic meal. Delicioso! 10/10

The food was reasonably good but the service needed some upgrades. It was hard to understand the menu and because of that we spent much more for lunch than we intended. There was a very definite language barrier with little attempt to provide any assistance. I probably won't return since there are similar restaurants in the area with similar food and better service and prices.

This place is a Puerto Rican gem! If you are looking for authentic homemade Puerto Rican food this is your spot. The food is delicious and the prices are affordable! The service was great as they were friendly and courteous and accommodating. The menu has a good variety of choices. Something for everyone. The atmosphere is casual and they have Latin music playing for a full experience and fun vibe! Located in Sanford Florida. Hope you get the opportunity to stop by for great food in a clean restaurant!

I ordered door dash so this review is based on the food, I ordered a simple ham and cheese sandwich and the alcapuria. The sandwich was good love the game and the bread just wish it was toasted more .The alcapuria was pretty good not the best I have haf but pretty good.In all I would try it again
