As soon as you walk in, the food is memorizing. We had pernil, baked chicken, tostones, potatoes salad, rice with gandules, and their FLAN! (Idk if they make the flan but 10/10, I recommend it). We had left overs and it was bomb. Honestly, can't wait to go back.

The food is excellent the atmosphere excellent the staff is one of a kind. They have come a long way 100% it's hard to find a good Puerto Rican restaurant in Woodbridge, and the fact that they are right at the tip of our fingers is absolutely amazing. I wish them nothing but the best. I hope they prosper and keep growing. Thank you very much Surrender Café for everything you guys do for the community in general. God bless! and to everybody reading this, go there sit down, chow down and enjoy the food and Enjoy life.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

Love this place!! Great service! Amazing delicious home made food!…read more I read about this on IG. I decided I must go that same day. Easy to find and not far from my house. The first time I ate there. It felt as I walked in to a relatives house. The ladies behind the counter were eager to take my order. I got Yellow rice, pernil, yuca, stewed chicken, pastels de plantano, beef empanada and a coco loco. I was in my glory. As much as I tried I couldn't finish it all. I took the leftovers home. I returned the next day after for more. 2 days later I returned again. Week later I returned again. The menu changes I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything . The finest Home cooked meal I ever had in a long time. Definitely recommend it!!

This is a small takeout place with about 3 tables that are often full. They do booming business and…read moreare often packed with nearby construction workers or laborers. The food is ok and prices are reasonable. I usually get rice and beans with pernil or pepper steak, I also get the codfish. Frequently the pernil is dry which you can look at and see for yourself. The food is served from behind the counter and replenished from the kitchen so gives you a chance to see what you'll be getting. I'm not crazy about going there for food because despite some staff being there a long time communication has often been difficult requiring the man who seems in charge to have to translate often if you have any questions or trying to describe what you want, even with my than basic Spanish. More than likely you'll be satisfied enough to return more than once.

Stumbled across Latin Port and honestly, this place overdelivered. I ordered the arepas with cheese, and you can immediately tell these are handmade. The texture was perfect and the cheese was high quality, rich, melty, and just really satisfying. I completely dropped the ball and didn't ask for the cabbage toppings (which I later realized are supposed to pull everything together), so that's on me but even without them, they were still a win. Next up were the tostones, which came with this dipping sauce, maybe avocado-lime? I'm not entirely sure, but whatever it was, it worked. It tied the whole dish together and elevated what could've been a simple side into something memorable. Now, the real standout: the Cuban roasted chicken. This tasted like it came straight out of someone's grandmother's kitchen. Super juicy, packed with flavor, and just comforting in the best way. Easily the highlight of the entire meal. I also tried the tres leches cake for dessert, and while everything else hit, this one just didn't land for me. It wasn't bad, just lacking the flavor I was expecting. Overall, though, Latin Port is absolutely worth it. If you're looking for flavorful, home-style food that feels like it's made with care, this spot delivers!

The thing I love about this spot is they have a little bit of everything. They have dishes from different countries including Peru, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Brazil, and more. I decided to get a small platter of stewed chicken and beef with rice, beans, and plantains. For dessert, I just had to grab a slice of tres leches cake. The server who prepared my platter was very nice and loaded my container with food. I got my food to go, but there is seating here if you'd like to dine in. They also have some outdoor seating. When I got home, I truly enjoyed my food. I will definitely be back here.

Went to Milina for Mother's Day brunch before our Mother's Day dinner. (Lot of eating going on on…read moreMother's Day!) We've been to Milina before but never reviewed them. Started out with coconut lemonade and a blood sausage appetizer that came with 2 mini arepas. It was our first time trying blood sausage and we were happy we did! Casing had a nice char and snap to it. Filling was well seasoned and delicious. Arepitas were light, crispy and had a very good sweet corn taste to them. Coconut lemonade was slightly tart which is how I like it and also had a sweet coconut finish to it. I would definitely order it again. For the entree we shared the Parradilla Milina Marinera which came with grilled steak, chicken, pork loin, shrimp and salted fried plantains. We added rice and beans. Grill taste on everything was terrific! Meats were tender and flavorful. Rice and beans were ok. They had free dessert for Mother's Day so my wife ordered chocolate cake which was delicious. It wasn't our first time at Milina and it definitely won't be our last. Servers were very attentive, courteous and accommodating.

We visited this restaurant and had an interesting experience…read more The seats were soft and comfortable. The drinks were good--both the Coke and passion fruit drink were enjoyable. The chicken empanada was also good. However, the CANASTICAS (3) DE TOSTONES RELLENOS appetizer was disappointing. It was $10 for three tiny cups, which was not what we expected. It wasn't worth the price, and we could barely taste any plantain. I accepted the conclusion. We also ordered a side of FRIED PLANTIANS (tostones). We received only three pieces, and they were extremely thin--so thin they could bend like taco shells. They were not the traditional thick, crispy tostones we expected. My husband's BANDEJA PAISA was also disappointing. The chicharrón was thin, hard, and difficult to chew. The steak was thin but good. The beans- good. Sausage-ok. A lot of rice on the plate. Then the receipt came with an automatic 18% gratuity. We don't recall seeing this noted on the menu, although it may have been listed somewhere. We were only a party of two, so we were surprised to see an automatic gratuity added. Be sure to check your bill carefully so you don't accidentally leave an extra tip. Overall, the food and value did not meet our expectations. It's simply not for us, though it may match other people's expectations, and that's okay.
