So So Good! We had a little bit of everything. Service is fantastic! Polite, friendly and professional. Kids had chicken nuggets and the little one asked "why is this so good?" And he is truly a chicken nugget/tender connoisseur. Authentic Puerto Rican food with great flavor. The other little one is not usually a fan of beans but these beans were a hit with her and she cleaned her plate. Want to come back and try the monfongo and other PR specialties. Highly recommend. read more

A Puerto Rican coworker told me Coqui by Tayta's in Homestead was the best Puerto Rican food he'd had outside of Puerto Rico. That's a bold claim. Turns out, he was right. My wife and I both ordered mofongo, mine with bistec encebollado, hers with chicharrón de pollo. The mofongo was garlicky, hearty, and soaked up the rich broth like a sponge. The steak and onions were pure comfort food, while the crispy chicken skin shattered with every bite. This isn't fancy food. It's food made with care, tradition, and a clear love for Puerto Rican culture. If you're driving through South Florida on your way to the Keys, make this stop. A taste of Puerto Rico without leaving Florida. read more

We have dined at "El Coqui is Here" many times, but we recently decided to steer away from our trusted plate of the Chicken Chicharrones and try the Chuleta Kan Kan. All I can say is wow! And maybe wow again! It is enormous and delicious! Very well seasoned a great balance of meat to fat. I had to take a picture of my hand next to the tray just to show the monstrosity of this piece. I will say parking is limited, but the staff is fantastic and the restaurant has a great vibe totally worth the trip. One of the few Puerto Rican restaurants in Homestead. Although it's not 100% authentic as the new owners, I do not believe are Puerto Rican, but as a Puerto Rican myself, this is pretty darn good and reminds me of my mom's cooking! read more

I love the food here! I always come by when I am in Homestead. It feels like you are in Puerto Rico. The food is delicious! My go-to is the chicharrón de pollo with mofongo. The tembleque is so good too but they run out by the end of the day. They do have lots of places to sit inside and the service is wonderful. read more

My experience was elevated after learning they make meaty-meaty (trifongo) a mix of sweet plantains AND green plantains with the pieces of pork. Also getting the pork and onions, instead of the chicken, as the protein is a great move. It is so juicy and flavorful and pairs well with the trifongo. We had one of their canoas as an app, it was a fried banana with ground beef and cheese. The spicy meat with the sweet banana was a great flavor pairing, and i loved the gooey cheese, crispy meat, and soft banana texture combo. As always, we love the service they are kind and helpful! read more

Amazing!!! Puertorrican food to its best!!! From the food, chef to the owner and staff all carry what Puerto Rico is all about and has to offer. RICA, RICA, RICA nos vemos demasiado pronto! read more

I have been here several times and it is by far the best PR food at the best price I have had between here and Orlando. The PR Rice (mamposteao with sweet plantains and steak mixed in) is amazing. Love their appetizer Coqui bandeja and their alcapurrias are great. My parents who are a set of the pickiest people on this planet love the food. He had a seafood soup (not on the menu) and the mofongo bowl (if you don't know, go find out!) and they were signing its praises. Gino (the chef) knows how to whip it up in the kitchen. I highly recommend you go there. It will not disappoint! read more

Coworker has been raving about this place. And so I decided it was time to check it out. After circling once trying to find it we realized it just faces the street in an awkward corner. Pay attention when driving and park right there in the private parking lot. Easy peasy. I havent eaten at a Puerto Rican restaurant in years. Mostly it's just the holidays when I look forward to purchasing as many pastales as possible they are freaking delicious. Anyhow this is a cute spot with not much space but enough for several tables to accommodate 2 to 4 people. Everything on the menu is tasty. We started with 2 meat acapurria's for a starter. They came perfectly fried and hot. Flavors were all on point and I even added hot sauce to give it a little bit of a kick. Hubby had the fried pork chunks, arroz con gandoules and tostones...he cleaned the plate. I think he liked it, lol. I had the mofongo,salad and fried chicken chunks. I was completely satisfied with all the happy flavors. Dinner was delicious and affordable. I can come back and order the same thing with no regrets. I couldnt finish it all and winded up taking a to go box. Woke up the next morning and hubby killed all my hopes of a fantastic lunch. Oh well...just need to make plans to come again and stuff my face happily. read more

I walked in to order food to go and was told it'll be about 30 minutes. I left and came back 30 mins later and I waited an additional 15 mins and my order still wasn't ready and then I was told it would be at least another hour. The place is small and was very busy with a lot of customers but my order to go should have not been a 2 hour wait. The place needs more cooks in the kitchen, not just one cook, so the business can be able to keep up with the amount of people that need to be served inside, online orders and in person to go orders. I was very disappointed that people who came after me, were being served before my order. I had only one order, for one person and I was told it was going to take 2 hours, insane! I received my refund of $19 and I had paid $22 for the food, which included tip but I was nice about it and didn't ask for the tip money. it was ridiculous the time it was going to take for arroz con gandules with chicken and sauce and tostones! My advise don't go when it's full or prepare to wait. read more

Visit as this place was recommended and we enjoyed it. Super family oriented everyone super nice and the waiter was super quick, meal was prep to the order. So everything was good and yummy. I had the Steak with lots of onions and hubby had the grilled chicken breast. Both were very delicious. Next time I will try the mofongo. read more

Great good! And great location and ambiance. Best habichulas I've had! Will definitely be back.

I like trying new things so I decided to try this spot one Sunday night. I've never really had Puerto Rican food and never heard anything about this restaurant. I called in an order and they quoted me 25 minutes which isn't so bad. Usually everything down here takes like 45 minutes minimum, even for pick up. Upon entering, it's a very small restaurant. I was glad to have ordered take-out. The staff wasn't too friendly. What did we order? - Carne Frita (fried pork chunks)/Mofongo Camarrones (Shrimp with creole sauce)/Mofongo Alcapurria Carne (meat fritter) The Mofongo was delicious. Especially when topped with the creole sauce from the shrimp. The carne frita was good, but a little too well done for me. I found them difficult to eat and actually ended up throwing up a good amount of it just because they were too hard to eat. The shrimp was delicious. The sauce on them really added a good touch to the meal and the Mofongo. Loved it. The alcapurria was interesting. I've never had it before and I think it's definitely something that's better when fresh out of the fryer. By the time I got to my house 15 minutes later, they didn't seem fresh. But it still tasted good. I don't think I'm convinced enough to make this a must-have or a recommendation. It's definitely fun to try new foods so I do recommend this spot for that reason. read more

I've visited this place since it opened, unfortunately the new owners are not Puertorrican. Which means the food is no longer authentic. Didn't have a good experience the last two times I've visited. Chicken not cooked properly, ordered shrimps in creole sauce and I get fried shrimps in some sort of hot sauce. As Puertorrican, I do not recommend visiting. read more

Came by for lunch this weekend to support another local Puerto Rican restaurant. JS El Coqui Is Here is a small restaurant off of US1 in Homestead. If you're coming from the highway, be sure to go around the block to get to the parking because you can't turn left from the main street. It's a small cafeteria-style restaurant with an open kitchen concept that I really like. The service was great but the food wasn't up to my expectations. I ordered the mofongo with bistec encebollado. My party also ordered the tostones stuffed with churrasco; even though it was actually chopped up bistec. The mofongo was really good and I loved the soft texture. However, I ordered the mofongo without chicharron (pork rind) and they got that wrong. The mofongo was about half chicharron so I couldn't really enjoy it. I really wanted to love this place but the food just wasn't there. The prices were great and they have weekly lunch specials as well. I'll try again sometime in the future but for now, they get 3 stars for the service and location. read more

Went for Lunch the Food was outstanding Chef Omar preparation of the Meal was superb highly recommended this restaurant to anyone

Threw away the alcapuria, threw away the canoa(both), threw away the fries. I'm eating the arroz con gandules and I want to puke. Idk what I was thinking ordering from this place. I've tasted way better Puerto Rican food made by ppl that aren't even Puerto Rican. I'm only giving the 2 starts because my son likes the cheeseburger. I'll never order from here ever again. read more

Everything was delicious. I had the jibarito and my husband had the tripleta. Not greasy perfectly cooked and just incredibly tasty. I wish I could take this place back home with me to MN. Sorry about hot having a pic I was starving and it smelled delicious when served. Nothing was left. read more

This is a small restaurant that's unfortunately is far away from me but we enjoyed ourselves as a family. Why I don't give them 5 stars is because the arroz con gandules was tasteless in which is rare because puertorican food is all about taste. All we were thinking about was eating the rice therefore, we left dissatisfied about it, Everything else that we ordered was delicious. The service was friendly but since we were a big group they messed up our orders and added items on my bill from other people's order. But they fixed the issue and they were cool about it. We will go back. read more

Recently decided to give this place a try. Been here 3x in the past 3 weeks...that should say what I think about the place. The ONLY thing is that it's a small spot and if you come during peak time you might be waiting a hot minute for a table. But if you don't want to wait you can call ahead and then pick it up. Anyways onto the food - all I can say is YUMMMM. I'm boricua and know what PR food should taste like and this place hits the spot time and time again. My fam and I have had carne frita, churrasco, chicharrones de pollo, vaso de pulpo, alcapurrias, canoa, tembleque, mofongo (of course) and everything is perfectly seasoned. Ni soso, ni salado... My hubz said the place makes him feel like we're in PR read more
