Although I was tempted by many items on this menu, I went with the mofongo chicken habanero and arroz con gandules. Ladling the bone broth over each bite of mofongo created very comforting mouthfuls. I would've preferred pork belly instead of chicken, but we already had it as an appetizer so I opted for chicken habanero. I feel the breading on the chicken was a little too filling for this dish and the pork would've added some needed sweetness. Overall a substantial meal with exotic flavors. I appreciate the changing menu, and look forward to seeing what's next! Comparing older photos of the menu, there's no longer a time restriction for burgers and sandwiches (all available after 3 PM). There's a standard 15% gratuity added to each bill. Dining area felt small, and a little too close to everything. This place might benefit from an upgraded space. read more

Chefs on the Run Gastro Pub - Chicken Mofongo - Caribbean Near Me - Homestead, Florida

Checked out Chefs on the Run Gastro Pub while driving through Homestead and ordered the habanero chicken along with the award winning burger for the table. The person taking our order was friendly and gave us a heads up that the chicken had a decent amount of heat, which I appreciated. Food took a little time to come out, but everything arrived fresh and hot. The burger was juicy without being messy, and the habanero chicken had good flavor beyond just spice. What stood out most was how relaxed the atmosphere felt even during the dinner rush. Staff stayed attentive and kept checking on tables without hovering too much. It felt like a solid local place people actually return to often. read more

Found this gem while in Homestead, FL. Located on a corner near Krome. This is a Puerto Rican restaurant with all the best Puerto Rican fare! It's decorated in typical hibaro fashion (iykyk). There is both indoor and outdoor seating. There is street parking and I think you might be able to park behind the restaurant. We couldn't figure out how to get there...lol. The service was friendly and the waitress gave great suggestions. For our appetizer we had the Alcapurria's. They were sooooo good! For my main, I had the El Yunque Burger. It was delicious! Had everything but the kitchen sink in it but the combo worked! There was even mofongo in the burger. My fiance had the El Pork Belly tapa with Truffle fries. The El Pork Belly was scrumptious! Fell off the bone with tostones or fried green plantains ( for my English speaking folks). The Truffle fries were also very good. I can't recommend this place enough! Go there when in Homestead. You won't regret it! read more

Love this place so much ! We are doing TAKE Out for now because I am currently recovering from ACL and meniscus surgery but the best treat for me is food from this restaurant. I feel it's one of the best restaurants in homestead. The service is amazing and the owners and chef are so friendly and nice. Their burgers are the best I've had, and you need to try their key lime empanada. It comes with the Best side ice cream I've ever had. Love this place and I want to try everything in their menu ! The ambiance is cozy and they have outdoor seating. read more

Best place in all of Miami. Everything on the menu is a 10/10. My regular order is the Alcapurrias and el yunque Burger

Great food in a unique style. Not much parking. Street side parking is available. Inside the restaurant were local art pieces for sale. And we love how local business's support each other. We were seated immediately and jumped on the Hummus appetizer. For entrees, I had the Show Me Your Green Burger. I love that they had the Patty made with savory plantains. It was crispy on the outside of the patty and a great texture on the inside. My wife had the I Just Want A Burger, she loved it. Both burgers were tall and the buns were still soft. Our little one had the Arroz con gandules. She finished her plate! We will be back! Major bonus: 20% military discount year round read more

The restaurant has indoor & outdoor seating options. It has cute artwork all around the indoor dining area that is available for purchase. They have all kinds of Spanish music playing. Although it is labeled as a Caribbean restaurant, the food is primarily Puerto Rican & burgers. The wait staff was very nice & the food came out fairly quickly. The bolitas de queso were not your typical cheese balls, they were a little less dense than most & the guava sauce was a bit different & less sweet than most with less guava flavor. As a lover of all things cheese, the Mac & cheese was way too cheesy but the brisket was quite good & it was a nice balance. El Bori Philly was a nice size & flavorful. The ño burger had a good juicy meat & nice bread, but you have to like bbq sauce. The truffle fries were just perfect. read more

I don't like burgers but I crave the burgers from this place. The one with pineapple jam is SPECTACULAR!

Amazing food here. Got food to bring to work for lunch here. Ordered the Chicken Caribowl. Probably the best arroz con guandules I ever had. The rice very delicious, well seasoned and lots of flavor to go along with the chicken the pickled onions and that scoop of potato salad. I also had the surulitos. Really good flavor of the cornmeal sticks. Really authentic Puerto Rican food. Good timely service and very good atmosphere if you decide to eat here. Very recommend. read more

Absolutely incredible! The service was great, the two waitresses were so helpful and fun. We got a Chino Tainio chicken sandwich and a smash burger as our main courses. The chicken sandwich was SO good. The smash burger was also great, a classic delicious burger. For dessert we had the key like empanadas and wow. They were so perfectly crispy - I don't even know how they achieved that. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This is a very small restaurant with very little seating but with a nice vibe to it. Very friendly staff and a chef that takes pride in his cooking. Food always comes out fresh and with a great presentation. The food always has a great blends of flavors. This visit I tried there "I just want a burger." I asked for it medium rare and it was prepared exactly that way and they included everything that I had asked for. Our waitress was friendly and always available. Prices are good and they offer specials and a good variety of choices. When we leave if the cook sees us he always thanks us personally for coming in. Very warm and friendly staff. Free parking outside with a busy street. read more

My wife and I stopped here on our way back to Bradenton from the keys. I read the reviews and was impressed so we both tried the burgers and we were very happy with our choices. In the words of Samuel L Jackson from Pulp Fiction "very tasty burgers." Classic smash burgers cooked with a flat top crust. I would absolutely recommend this place and I would eat there again anytime I was in the area. The service was also first class. They were welcoming, friendly and helpful with menu selections and recommendations. The place is small so seating can be limited but don't let that stop you from eating at this excellent resturant. read more

Went for lunch the other day as a quick stop before the keys. What a great place! The place is small but very lively decorated. Our server was super sweet as well. Food took a minute because was made to order and trust me, worth the wait. We had the bolitas the queso with guava and it was delicious. As a puertorican myself, this dish took me back to when I had this in Old San Juan. For starters I tried the award winning Ño burger and is award winning for good reason. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Loved the food and service. Ordered chicken mofongo, and a burger without bun. It was one of the most delicious burgers I've had in a long time. The spicy butter was my favorite, I even took some home. For desert we had the key lime pie empanada, delicious and warm inside. Loved the art from local artists. Will be back. read more

We ate outside in the lovely eating area. This food was so amazing. You must order the fries with your burger, because they come out hot & fresh and you can't stop eating them. The burgers were so incredible! Perfect flavors with a super perfect balance of toppings. These were the best burgers we've had in our life, and the service was impeccable. Very fast & super friendly, patient, and helpful. We are really wish we lived near this restaurant to eat there all the time. read more

Food was yummy, fun wait with dominos to play. Small place, big flavors. Key lime empanada was so yummy too!

Stopped here on the way through based on yelp reviews and boy am I glad we did. Street parking. The food was fantastic. Made to order so definitely not fast food. We ate at a table in the small dining area which had four tables and 14 seats total (a bit cramped). We ordered the habanero chicken bites, the regular hamburger and fries, and the No burger (which won an award) It was pretty amazing and ranks as one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Server was friendly & attentive. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place to eat on the way down to the Keys or just for lunch! read more

An elevated second experience at Chef's. The first time I couldnt understand the hype (chalking it up to error in my food selection) but this time was awesome. Bare in mind that the dining area is considerably small, so there may be a wait. They told us 30 minutes, but we ended up sitting in 5 minutes. We started with the queso and oink fries: topped with pernil, a mix of three cheeses (cojita, mexican, chipotle) and some herbs. The fries were perfectly crispy and crunchy, and the cheese sauce was warm and flavorful. Mains: El Parce Burger- Perfect thickness and was delicious with savory white cheese paired with sweet pineapple jam! unbelievable! Dios Mio Que Rico!- an asian pork belly bowl with veggies. the sauce is sweet and savory..very tasty. We will definitely back to try more off the menu! Cheers to great improvements, Chef!! read more

The food was alright, we spent $77 on a mofongo and a smash burger, and we where waiting for our food for over an hour. i get it the food is freshly made, but over an hour in a restaurant that had literally 3 tables. Totally not worth the price or the time. never going there again. read more

A true hidden gem in homestead! The food is delicious whether you eat in or dine out.

A owner from a Thai place in Homestead recommend us this place so my husband and I decide to come on a Friday night, the place is small, colorful and good located, close to downtown Homestead with parking space in the street. We start with the pork belly OMG the sauce was amazing and perfect cooked, the burgers were great too, I will come back to try the steak for sure. My burger was the Yunque delicious juicy and tasty. Service was good and the owner are there taking care of everything and ambience is cozy. read more

We came in a little after 12pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Server was kind and helpful. There are only 4 tables but it doesn't feel cramped in the dining area. The food was outstanding! We had the Smashburger and it was so tasty my husband actually said "I don't want this burger to end". We would definitely come back next time we're in town! Well done, chef! read more

I would love to give this 5 stars because it's adorable and the food was delicious. The portions were large and the price was decent. Friendly staff. My complaint isn't the food. My only issue is the drink. I asked our waitress (who I think was training) if the Sangria had chunks of fruit in it and she said yes, so I ordered. While it was yummy, it was only wine, which I would have skipped. Otherwise an outstanding meal in a small venue. read more

Stopped in for some lunch. But when I told the hostess I wanted to order some food to go, she politely told me that it would be an hour wait. If you can't get a lunch takeout order in under an hour, you're doing something wrong! Who has an hour to wait for lunch?!? The hostess explained that a large party was just seated and that "there were people ahead of me". I'm glad they're so busy, but they won't be seeing me again. Can't offer an opinion on the food as I didn't get any. read more

Find this quaint little place on Yelp. Thanks for my fellow yelpers who wrote great reviews. We came for a late lunch. We were warmly greeted by Jessica who is the owner along with her husband. The decor is typically Latin Caribbean with lots of color & beautiful paintings on the walls. It's definitely a tropical vibe. The salsa & merengue was a welcoming touch. The food is Puerto Rican fusion & very creative. I had the Mofongo & the bolitas de queso as an appetizer. My niece who is very picky loved them. We also had the Habanero chicken; crispy & delicious boneless chicken bites. It had a kick but not over the top spicy. The El pork belly was rich, sticky & delicious! The I just want a burger was the most beautifully presented burger I'd ever seen but also really tasty. The service was amazing. Jessica is friendly & very accommodating. She really helped my mom make good choices as she had a recent dental procedure and needed to eat soft foods. Although it's a ride to come here I will definitely be back. read more

This was our first time here. Our server Akira was an absolute delight. The food was phenomenal. The music? Perfection. It was a beautiful night to sit outside, the simple set up made the ambiance romantic and laid back. We had the hummus as an appetizer, it came with naan and tostones. The hummus itself was velvety, garlicky, perfection. The naan?! Some of the best I have had. And the tostones?! Crunchy, golden, divinely seasoned. I ordered the Yunke burger and substituted the meat for another mofongo patty. My husband had their award winning burger. I also had the Parmesan truffle fries. I couldn't taste the truffle, but they were so deliciously seasoned I don't even mind. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. For the moment theyre only doing outdoor seating. I passed by the back patio before coming in and didn't see many people there, but I was told it was full. They had 2 small tables out front so I was seated there. Seemed to be some general confusion there and a relatively small staff, so I wouldn't come here in a rush I was initially attracted to this spot because of the unusual items I saw on their menu. In particular the plantain crusted fish sounded super intriguing. Unfortunately it seems like they've down sized their menu over the past few years to a core of burgers, mofongo and a couple of miscellaneous entrees and apps While the burgers did seem interesting, mofongo felt more in their sweet spot so I went for the chicken mofongo and was not disappointed! The mofongo was super garlicky and rich from the chicarrones. One turn off I've often found with mofongo in the US is that they tend to be too dry, but the bone broth gave it the moist texture I was hoping for The chicken itself was good. My mindset for a dish where the meat isn't the star is you don't want it to be memorable, since it's usually not for good reasons, and this dish certainly accomplished that. The portion size was enough where I was satisfied, but certainly could've shared an appetizer before and not felt gross after. Overall, I think this is a good spot if you're in the area, but it won't be the absolute star of your trip to the Everglades read more

I've been eyeing this restaurant for a while on DoorDash and I finally decided to check them out. I ordered the Caribowl with chicken and it was pretty good. The chicken was cooked well, but there was just way too much sauce on everything. I will definitely ask for the sauce on the side if I order again. The egg was also a bit too underdone for me, as it had that clear substance (not the yolk) on it that got all over my rice. Aside from that, it was tasty and I will probably explore some more of their menu options. read more

First time here, a little gem hidden in Homestead. Delicious Puerto Rican food, service was excellent I highly recommend this place it's worth the trip. You have that Puerto Rican atmosphere with music in the background.. Need to try the Surullos with the side of dipping sauce with a touch of garlic in it. The Shrimp Mofongo was amazing delicious too. And to top it off we had the Flan. read more
