    two glasses of drink on a table
    Louise F.

    I'm updating my review because lunch today was absolutely spot on! We sat on the outdoor patio, which was comfortable and relaxing, and even scored a parking spot right in front of the restaurant--perfect start. The frozen mango piña colada was both delicious and strong, just the way I like it. We shared the coconut shrimp, which were fried to perfection--crispy on the outside and paired with a tasty chipotle mayo. For my main, I ordered the bento box (they offer three versions). I went with the one that included sliced skirt steak mofongo, shrimp mofongo, a dragon roll, and a tropical salad. The mofongo is hearty, so I took half home, but it was full of flavor. The skirt steak was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, with a rich and flavorful sauce. Overall, a fantastic lunch experience--I'll definitely be back!

    Food - The ropa vieja lacked flavor and had minimal seasoning. The bistec encebollado was good. The Mofongo was a mixture of plantain and plátano maduro, which was a perfect blend of savory and sweet, the shrimp added a great taste! Drinks - we did not enjoy our drinks. My lychee martini tasted like it was processed. my husband's gin and tonic tasted like soda instead of tonic water. Ambience/Appearance: truly beautiful and a lot of opportunities to take photos! The bathroom was clean and the service was great.

    Birria Roll

    Finally got to try his spot and was very impressed. This spot is a blend of many cusines such as Dominican, Asian , Mexican and Puerto Rican. The food and drinks were amazing. We tried the birria rolls which by far were the best! Also tried steak and avocado roll and lobster trifongo which were excellent. Drinks were also good and with a nice kick to them. The place itself is really nice and decorative. The outdoor space is nice and relaxing. Staff friendly and attentive. Will be coming back!

    Happy Hours: Guacamole and Totopos, Chicharrónde Pollo

    Appetizers and drinks were good. Main dish (Mofongo/Pernil) was not tasty as expected. Pernil was dry and usually a mofongo is served with a garlic sauce and this dish had a gravy that I personally didn't enjoy. There was not clear information among the servers about the happy hours option and apparently it's only served in the bar area.

    This was my first time here. We were seated right away. Some of our guests arrived early. The restaurant is on the smaller side. When you walk into the right, they have a bar area and the left is all the seating and dining. When we arrived for our reservation, our waiter greeted us at the table. He took our order of drinks. It took about 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive was not very happy with the delay in service. Shortly there after our appetizers arrived. Our apps were really good. The Asian ribs were disappointing. However, the dumplings were excellent. For dinner we had the bistec encebollado, churrasco mofongo, and the spicy avocado sushi roll. Dinner was great. For dessert we had the Tres leches and the chocolate Tres leches, which was delicious. We originally had asked our waiter for two separate checks which he had agreed to. When it came time to get our check, he dropped off one check. It was a bit of an issue to get the breakdown into two separate checks and to find our waiter. We ended up speaking with the owner who helped us and also extended us a discount for the error. I will definitely have to consider coming back. The food was good so I may opt for takeout versus dine in.

    7oz lobster tail with papas bravos and shrimp. And monfongo with steak
    Ashley L.

    Came here for dinner after work on a Friday night with one of my girls. Had high expectations because when I came here last year I loved it but haven't been back since. We had dinner and drinks and everything was perfection. The drinks and the food were to die for. Decor is beautiful. Staff is amazing!!

    Lobster Stir Fry

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Don Jito's last night, and the entire experience was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting great vibes, outdoor patio seating, and even a couple of social-media-worthy photo ops that made the night even more memorable. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were hands down the best I've ever had perfectly crisp on the outside and glazed in a sweet chili sauce that hit every note. I also had the mussels in blanco sauce, and the broth was packed with deep, rich flavor absolutely top tier. For dinner, I went with the Lobster Stir Fry, which was not only visually stunning but layered with flavor in every bite. My wife had the Honey Glazed Salmon, and it was equally impressive a beautiful crunch on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. We also tried both the Red and White Sangria refreshing, well-balanced, and delicious. Our server, Edgar, was fantastic attentive and personable. And when John (the owner) found out it was our anniversary, he surprised us with a complimentary dessert. That level of service and hospitality goes a long way. I will have to come back to add photos of the food, it was so good we got right to eating lol Don Jito's hit every mark food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion. We'll definitely be back.

    Celebrating 2 Birthday days

    Bruno and the staff went above and beyond for our celebration. The food for delicious.

    Tres golpes roll

    We had a party of 11 on a Saturday night that we were able to make reservations for the week before. We were sat promptly and everyone was very friendly and professional. The latin sushi was sooo good, I had the tres golpes roll and someone else had the surf and turf roll and the king of Mamaroneck roll which all were very good. I took off a star because there were a couple of hiccups like adding salt to margarita when asked not to and also not getting an appetizer and then getting double of another. However no big deal it was a big party and a lot of orders. Otherwise everything was great and decently priced. We def want to go again and try other items.

Mama Love got the fried snapper, lil bro absolutely annihilated his eggplant dish. Plates was getting cleaned like rent was due. I really can't say enough good things about Red Plum. Service was good ,t's usually AMAZING, but I get it, it was Mother's Day and they was getting smoked. Still, the ambiance and vibes were stellar. Real cozy, real cool, low lighting, good energy... the type of spot you pull up to for a date, family dinner, or to fake having your life together for two hours.

It's a few doors down from the movie theater. There are FOUR great ice cream places a short walk away - Ralph's Italian Ices, Paleteria Fernandez, Pros & Cones, and Milk N Cookies. Harbor Island is about a ten minute walk.
