To our surprise, we saw they have daily lunch specials (just know they cut off after 3 pm). I got the small sized meal with oxtail, rice and peas, plantains with a side of the Mac & cheese (additional charge). My partner got the jerk chicken with the same sides. Just be careful because the jerk chicken has a strong spicy kick to it! They have lots of different meats to choose from, seafood too. Unfortunately, they had ran out of the Pineapple Ginger and Sorrel drinks I was anticipating from looking at their online menu. We got our food to go and were delighted at the generous portion sizes, as they produced leftovers for the next day. The employees there were very friendly, it felt great to support a small local business especially after having just experienced the Hurricane in Jamaica. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone in the area looking for some good Caribbean food! I'm definitely going back for more especially the Mac and cheese that was cooked to perfection :)

I was out in Pembroke Pines for a computer training class and looked up Lunch Specials near me…read more Islander's Cafe popped up and I'm so happy that I tried it! They have like 5 lunch specials for $6.25 and what an amazing DEAL! I got the Jerk chicken and it was like 2-3 pieces of chicken with half take out container full of rice & peas and a choice of side (I got green beans)...all of it was so yummy! The woman serving up your choice of lunch specials was super sweet and helpful since I didn't know what some of the things were. You also got "gravy" on the rice & peas if you wanted it. I took some gravy from brown stew and it was delicious! A bottle of water was included with lunch special for $6.25...can't find a deal like this anywhere else! I will definitely go back to try another lunch special next time I'm in the area!

I am writing to share some feedback regarding my recent dining experience at Lalou's Cuisine…read more Overall, the food was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the quality and preparation of the meal. However, I did find the pricing to be quite high relative to the overall value provided ... I mean it's not a regular sit down restaurant where you get served; more like a "take out" place. $75 (tax & tip included) for 2 dishes is a bit much for a take out place. I wanted to share this perspective with you as part of my review of the experience, as I believe it could be helpful for you in your dining consideration.

In short : Come for the authentic Puerto Rican comida and stay for the beautiful atmosphere…read more It was my father's birthday and I wanted to take him for Puerto Rican food. He is Puerto Rican :) and we do cook some but not all of it . Anyway... Backstory: Chef Iram Ayala was born and raised in Caguas, Puerto Rico. This is considered Jibaro territory and they are known to be great cooks ! He has worked in many high end hotels such at The Breakers, Ritz Carlton etc. He started in the Hollywood farmers market and his comida became so popular that he opened this restaurant in honor of his grandmother Sara. Wela is short for Abuela which means grandmother in Spanish . Atmosphere: it's a tiny space located directly off Hollywood blvd but hard to miss because of the colorful storefront. Inside it feels as if you are stepping in Puerto Rico. Taino artwork is all over the walls ( Taínos are the indigenous people that all Puerto Ricans descended from). It's breathtaking. Appetizer: We ordered beef empanadillas (what Ricans call empanadas ) , Alcapurrias, and croquetas de mofongo. The empanadillas were fresh and came with a mayo ketchup sauce. Alcapurrias are specific to PR cuisine and they are a plantain fritter stuffed with whatever meat you desire . We had beef and they disappeared instantly . The croquetas stole the show in my opinion. They are unique in that they are made out of mofongo, stuffed with cheese (or whatever you want ) and served with a guava salsa. They were fire! Get these! Dinner: My father had the chuletas with arroz con gondules , my son and nephew both had steak and I had a pernil mofongo. Let me just take a moment to say this mofongo was probably one of the best I've had in a looonnngggg time . It wasn't dry.. it was so flavorful and the pernil was amazing. I had to stop myself for eating it all. Everyone liked their meats but the arroz con gondules was a bit lacking . It could've had more gondules and some green olives and/or pork. I'm used to My dad and Abuelita making it so flavorful so my standards are high on that side dish. For dessert we had the homemade tres leches . It was light , almost too light . Service was good.. our waitress was very nice. Overall I would definitely come back again.. Especially when they have their live music .

Like it always has. But...not one item is the same. Not one is has flavor. Not even salt could help. Brown stew chicken watery no flavor. Fish not sweet or hot. The soup biggest disappointment. No dumplings. No meat. I ordered at 1230 so there was plenty of soup that it shouldn't have been picked over. The soup was so bad I actually thought there was a chemical in it. I threw it out. Over $50 plus a tip If I had the time and energy I would go there for a full refund and let them have all their food back. Cause in the trash it goes.

It's located inside a nearby mall, which turned out to be high-end and really beautiful. We grabbed an Uber and headed over. The food absolutely hit the spot. We ordered three bowls with jerk chicken and rice and another bowl with curry chicken and spicy rice. Everything was fantastic and the portions were generous--definitely worth the price. When we ordered they had just served their last portion of oxtail, which was a bit of a bummer because that's what I originally wanted. But while we were eating, I noticed the line never stopped and the server was constantly plating food. That's always a great sign that a place is doing something right. They actually did replenish the oxtail shortly after... but by then we were already full. We also grabbed a rum cake and it was a 1000 out of 10. Must try! The only downside is that it's located inside the mall. It would be amazing to experience the full vibe in a standalone restaurant setting with maybe an even larger menu. But clearly they're doing something right because the line never stopped the entire time we were there. Highly recommend!
