Best restaurant in Jacksonville hands down. Great people, amazing food. They have a special seafood menu on Sundays and a late night menu on Friday nights. You'll love it. read more

Cant comment on service or ambiance because food was picked up by my sister and we ate picnic style. She did say it was busy. Was excited to try based on all the reviews. Huge disappointment! I had the chicken sandwich which was just ok. My sister had the chorizopan sandwich which was WAAAAAY to salty to the point that it wasn't edible. My nephew had the pork bowl with rice and lentils which was the opposite-no taste at all! The saving grace was empanadas at least we had that. May consider giving it another chance and dine in read more

I finally made it to Chancho King and I'm soooo happy, I've followed them for few years now but never made it to the weekend market. So my first visit was middle of the week @ lunch, I ordered the pork sandwich and pork rinds and the cheesy yuca fritter clouds, I'll get correct names to describe the pictures included. Anyway the pork sandwich has been on my radar for some time now and it was amazing! The tender and flavorful pork is so good and the pickled onions acidity cut through the "juiciness" (aka fattiness) of the pork and the crunch and flavor of the chicharrón (pork skin crackling) stepped the sandwich up, it was synergy! I also had an aqua fresca, flavors were passion fruit and blackberry, I had a combination of the two and it was delightful and not overly sweet. So Sunday I went back for ceviche brunch and it was also amazing! It was packed, every table and chairs at the bar were full with very happy people. We ordered with hopes a seat would be available by time our food was ready, which it did. The grilled octopus was out of this world, so good! Cooked perfectly, it was so tender and chargrilled flavor, along with grilled bread and chimichurri, it was fantastic and probably the highlight of the meal for us, then we also had a dozen raw oysters They were extremely fresh and clean, nicest I've had in a while, served with a mild sauce, not sure what it was, I wouldn't order them again, only because of my old ways, preference to have Tabasco and crackers. We each had ceviche, you have choices of fish, shrimp &/or octopus and three different bases a tomato based, traditional citrus based and the house special one with citrus and added peanut. We ordered the last two and both were delicious. Even though the staff were super busy and working hard, they were all super friendly, and genuinely happy to have the crowds. I highly recommend this restaurant during week or Sunday brunch! read more

Such a unique menu for jacksonville and everything tastes great while being affordable. an easy and yummy dinner out

I haven't left a review in a long time, but the pesto noodles and steak I just ate here was so well made that I had to show love. Aqua Fresca is always a plus. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

Not what we expected but we pleasantly surprised with the food...everything was so delicious! Order at the counter and we asked for recommendations since this was our first visit. Tried the pork sandwich, chicken sandwich and the duck stew....lots of flavor and the prices are great for the amount of food!! We will definitely go again!!! Worth it to go out of your way to get awesome food!! read more

Everything we had was delicious. We went on Saturday so it was the regular menu. Can't wait to try Sunday and Friday night menu!

Just happened to walk by this fabulous Ecuadorian place... and found another treasure of Jacksonville! For me the acid test for a great (not good, but GREAT) restaurant that serves octopus is the octopus. Oftentimes rubbery, octopus is very difficult to get just right. I ordered it to go, just to see the skill of the chef. Here, it was done beautifully! The chef knows exactly what he is doing. As for service...you'll meet some of the nicest people working their hardest to make sure you have a great experience. They're welcoming without being overbearing, and sweet without being saccharine. This is the real deal on every level. Check it out... NOW! You won't regret it. read more

Finally got the chance to try Chancho King and man it didn't disappoint. That pork sandwich is everything with housemade chicharrones, pickled onions and a spicy sauce. I tried to save some for my husband but there was no stopping. And the fried plantain chips and aqua fresca with fresh ginger was so on point for a hot summer day. Next time I'll request extra spicy sauce for my chips and the sandwich read more

Chancho King - Combo - Latin American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I was recommend this place and I'm so glad I came. Everything was delicious, and the Agua frescas were refreshing. When we went, they had tamarind papaya which was sour but not overly so and naranjilla pineapple which was nice and sweet. We tried all four of the sandwiches and they were nice enough to cut each of them and half and plated it for us for easy sharing. My favorites were the Choripan and the chicken. The choripan was nice and flavorful, but you can never go wrong with chorizo. I'm usually wary of getting chicken at places because it's usually dry, but this sandwich was nice and juicy and had a good sauce. The pork was good, although a little dry, but the sauce helped. I also don't like mushrooms because of the texture, but they were good on the sandwich. The mushroom sandwich is also a little spicy, so keep that in mind. We also got the empanadas, which were cheese and leek and nicely cooked. The sweet plantains were also good. The pan de yuca was also nicely fried and had a chewier texture. Overall I'll definitely be stopping by again! read more

Chancho King - Rice bowl with pork - Latin American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The pictures do not do any justice because the food was amazing. I had to rush to take the pictures because my husband couldn't wait.. The sloppy joe cheese corn dough empanadas were blazing hot, gooey and yummy. The pulled pork rice & lentil bowl with the HOT pepper aji, lime PICKLED red onions and ADDICTING chancho AIOLI..OMG over the top amazing! The seared chicken sandwich had perfect tanginess with the basil aioli and pickled sweet onions. We can tell everything was fresh and that they took care of making every dish to perfection. We've been waiting to go for a long time and it's in the perfect location bc it's only a mile away for us. We plan to be regulars and try everything on the menu. read more

The food was tasty and fresh. Lots of flavor and great service. Very unique and hip. Next time I need to try

Food and service were both excellent. The folks that took care of us were extremely nice. Portions were small(ish) but it's Ceviche!!, so, to be fair, worth what we paid, and they were very generous with the plaintains. I'd like to try a few other items on the menu next time. And, of course, there WILL be a next time! Please give them a try. They are a new business and I want them to stick around. read more

Love the mushroom sandwich and the pork sandwich!! Pickled unions are so delicious!! Great chips too! Customer service was perfect! Adorable atmosphere and very clean restaurant. read more

I had their first success, the pork sandwich. Hubby had the chorizo sandwich. The plantain chips are much better than potato chips. We ordered some plantains (Maduros). The sauce it comes with is better with the plantain chips than with the plantains. Garlicky! They were very good! We washed out food down with a glass-bottled Coca-Cola! The employees are friendly! Not good for large groups. About 6 tables and "bar" seating. We will definitely come back! read more

We've been eating their food since they've been at Aardwolf and Vagabond and various events around town. So happy for them to have a brick and-mortar close to the house. The food is delicious and the space is cute. read more

DELICIOUS!!! OMG you guys must try this amazing restaurant. The food is so so good. Love it. I apologize about the aesthetics. The food had no chance of making it home. I ate it before pulling out of the parking lot. Lol ‍ read more

Chancho King - Wow wow wow! I didn't know Jacksonville could produce food this delicious. I had the chorizo sandwich and empanadas. - Latin American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Great service, atmosphere, and food. Lowkey want bigger portions on the rice bowl but no real complaint.

Best food in Jax at a great price point. These are amazing people and they set a great vibe.

Unbeliveable tasty food with a large variety to select from. On Sundays, mostly seafood with the grilled octopus on the top of my list. During the week Llapingacho with the chorizo satisfies my appetite. I go there on a weekly basis and everything is cooked to order without any preservatives read more

This place did not disappoint, the food was delicious and the staff was more that warm and welcoming. I had the empanadas of the day and boy did I want more, I also was recommended their signature sandwich, the man at the front told me it's what they were known for, I can see why A+. I have heard a lot about these guys and have seen their sticker everywhere. I'm happy I was finally able to try it. They did an amazing job with the space. It felt clean and was super trendy. I'm happy to see another delicious restaurant pop up in Murry Hill! Definitely a place to try, and try again. New lunch spot for sure. read more

Love this place. I've only been twice but the food is SPOT ON every time I go. It's quickly become my favorite place in Jacksonville.

Wow is all I have to say. Checked out the food truck while visiting Aardwolf Brewery in San Marco and we are in love. Vegan option was delish (so says hubby) and I had the pork bowl. It was full of flavor and I want it again! We also got an order of plantain chips that were equally sweet and salty, hit the spot just right after a couple beers!! Will def be coming back for more! read more

Sunday is the day, so get there early. There is wonderful ceviche and grilled octopus (Sunday only) that will leave your mouth watering. Everything is fresh and delicious. They are a great addition to Murray Hill. read more

Holy pig this was the best sando of my entire life. My brother ordered so I honestly had no idea what I was getting into but come to find out it was a pork shroom sandwich and oh my mother of all that is holy. I literally can't even. It was so damn good and so juicy and just AMAZING. Let's start with the pork (I'm salivating thinking about it) it was juicy and tender and just perfection, add in the shrooms and the skin and pickled onions and it is a winner. I could go on and on but honestly y'all just need to go get one now. read more

Holy moly amazing sandwich!! I got the shaved pork sandwich with the pickled onions and plantains. It was amazing! The pork was cooked to perfection! I absolutely loved it. Next time I want to try the bowl with the lentils and rice. Yum! read more

A great addition to the Murray Hill area! My husband and I have been fans of their food truck parked at aardwolf brewery for years now and I am so happy they've found another location. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. I enjoy anything with their pork, mushrooms, or plantains! read more

I ordered some food to go, and as I looked over the brochure for the slow food movement, I realized why it's so important to support local. When you eat food, you would taken the process of that food, the intention of the creator, which, in this case is the business owner I can always feel a difference When I order from a fast food chain and a food chain. I couldn't wait till I got home and reached in to start in on my leak and cheese empanada. And appreciating it (who knew that you could have a beautiful empanada like this?) I decided, I'm not eating anywhere this year that's not a snail - on that slow food restaurant list. It's worth eating less to enjoy higher quality meal. Because these days, eating ordinary- at best-is just not worth my hard-earned money. read more

After reading the reviews I had high hopes for this place as there are many great options in the area. I decided to try a multitude of the munchies just to get a variety. The empanadas should be called empanadillas as they are tiny. Decent but not what I would consider an empanada. The "Chicharrones" is nothing more than your run of the mill dried out of the bag chip that's deep fried to expand. Basically think popcorn bag pork rinds. No meat no flavor. Plantain chips were ok but the salsa with them was bland and fell completely flat. The only thing that was alright were the yucca cheese balls and even those were just ok. For the price tag it definitely doesn't deliver. To be transparent these four items were $30...won't be returning if I'm honest. read more

Started filling them when they were a tent set up. Super delicious and moist pork sandwiches. Now they are building out their storefront and have an amazing ceviche bar out back. Lovely beverages and such a relaxed vibe. Absolutely love this place!!! Make time to enjoy the Sunday ceviche brunch... read more

Food truck was amazing, so I was so excited when I saw they were coming to set up shop in Murray Hill. Chancho King is my Roman Empire.

You have to love a good local craft brewery with food options, so it's great that Aardwolf has Chancho King on site. We finally tried it and the sandwich was so flavorful and delicious! The pork on its own was good, but the toppings and bread really made the sandwich as tasty as it was. read more

Great place. Very good food. Chorizo had maybe too much flavor and the bread might be a little too thick. My only complaints. Friendly staff. read more

Every time I see Chancho King set up (by Vagabond in Murray Hill on a Sunday, at Art Walk, etc.), I'm compelled to stop. These sandwiches are just that good. The pork is delicious, yes, but the bread is perfect too, made soft by the dip into the salty juice, plus the balanced sauces and the pickled onions. If there is anything to complain about, it would only be that there isn't enough of it. At the last Art Walk, I even got a warmed agua fresca to wash it down that was amazing. The king needs a storefront (palace?) to operate out of, in my opinion, preferably close to my house. Long live the king! read more

Hands down the best chef in Jax and I'm pumped they now have a permanent location. I was first blown away by Chancho King at a beer dinner at aardwolf but the ceviche brunch on Sundays at their new location is just as amazing! We got redfish ceviche, grilled redfish bellies, grilled octopus and grilled ruby FL red shrimp! Amazing! read more

Had dinner on a Monday around 6. Had the Llapingacho Cakes, and the Rice Bowl with Chicken. Both very good. The plantain chips were wonderful and flavorful. Will definitely return. read more

Excellent food. Wide range of favor. Pork sandwich was very good. If you don't like spicy I recommend getting on the side to try and apply desired amount. Sweet Plantains is a must. Empanadas were just ok for me. The person I was with really like them. I thought they were small. Everything came out quick and fresh. Great service. Server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Parking can be a challenge if busy as it shares with other businesses around the side of building read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! The food is absolutely amazing. We had the chicken sandwich- this is no ordinary chicken sandwich. The flavor is spot on and the sauce with the crusty bread will have you wanting more. Then the sauce with the plantain chips. Heaven in a basket and only $7. Run! You don't want to miss this little hole in the wall place on Edgewood. read more
