A place to set a bit, with folks sittin around talking a little life, politics, and kids. Simple, honest, no pretense. The food was big portions and delicious! Good, even flavor for the jerk chicken. Not too spicy, but a lot of folks don't like it burn-your-insides down. Fell off the bone. Her plantains are fried, tostones, not sweet. They were great. Her black rice and peas was really tasty too. If you want Caribbean legit, the way you'd get it from a dozen similar shacks on any island, it's your joint. A bit close to the railroad tracks. Good parking and very welcoming folks running it!

I wasn't brave enough to try the chivo, but I had the Shrimp Ceviche which was really fresh and light. It was a classic with onions, tomatoes, shrimp and the freshest avocado! And I cannot forget the freshest tostones ever! Fried to a golden crisp and did I mention fresh? My husband ordered the chicharron de pollo (fried chicken chunks) that were well seasoned and crispy. He also got the tostones. I ordered a classic mojito which tasted great, although the second one didn't taste as good so small inconsistency there, but they were reasonably priced too. Service to begin with was slow, but once we ordered our food, it came out in a timely manner.

The server was very accommodating despite a language barrier and went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Food is on the pricey side and portions are smaller than I would expect. The food we ordered was delicious. My whole fried red snapper was perfectly made and came with yellow rice and sweet plantains. My colleague ordered garlic shrimp that came with two sides and he really enjoyed his entree. The place is small with total 20-30 seats and located in a strip mall.

They are the best, I have never had Cuban coffee before until I came here for my first time a few years back, which made me a Cuban Coffee believer. Now I am a Cuban coffee and pastelito addict. The girls at this place are always nice and have never had a complained with them. Some days on my trips I would still go by mid afternoon and they may have a couple pastelitos left. So make sure you come early to try them. I also love their cuban bread they use with their meal, which is toasted to perfection with butter. My go to is their cuban sandwich and steak sandwich which are so good. Will definitely keep going on my trips to the area.

The size of the medium coffee is good, you can go larger or smaller but medium is enough to enjoy. The ham and cheese tortilla is delicious. Also tried the two fried eggs with bacon and bread and was also good. My husband had the steak and eggs. Love when the staff knows that you are not from the area and stand on your table beside of asking on how is your food but to make conversation, that is a plus for me. This is an extra point on how I rate the place, food and employees. Place has a large tv with the latest latin music. Alcohol is not served, only coffee, water, soda and fresh juices. Place is open 7 days a week and offer the "cantina" service. Cantina is to get dinner ready for each day of the week for 5 days (Mon-Fri) for an specific price, you chose what do you want from the specific menu and pay the amount, here in Don Jose is $30. First time I heard of this service and I found it excellent.

The VeggieBano is mouthwateringly delicious!…read more If you ate it 4 nights in a row that's 4 nights that you ate good! I first found this during the covid lockdown back in April 2020. I needed a needed something new for lunch and was happy that they were still operating. After taking a few pics and video of my sandwich I had a few coworkers ask for a bite. (That was never happening but I offered to pick up everyone order they following week.) They handled the large order wonderfully on a very typically raining afternoon. So every few weeks I gotta go back. Everything about the sandwiches are wonderful but I love that even die hard meat eaters enjoy the VeggieBano and say it just as filling or more that the pork filled one. It's a must.

They are probably most well known for their Cuban sandwich which uses a roasted suckling pig. I…read moredidn't even know that was Lechon meant until it was pointed out to me. Instead I was there to try their tropical crepe, a French Latin fusion that puts two cuisines on a plate that you would not normally think would go together but ended up creating something outstanding.. The dessert of my dreams starts with a freshly made tender but crisp at the edges crepe. Next it was filled with sweet mango, kiwi, and pineapple, rolled up and topped with dulce de leche, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. The result was a crepe that can hold its own with any authentically French one. I was in heaven as I thoroughly devoured every delicious morsel. Lechon Tropical serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert in the Grandview Public Market food hall. If you are Vegan they even have you covered with an entree called my vegan friend that has rice, beans, plantains, and salad. Or just have an amazing crepe like I did. No matter what you order here, I think you are going to enjoy it.

We'd seen this place when we'd been to a couple other businesses in the same plaza and bookmarked…read morethe location for a future business. On a recent Friday night, we decided to come for dinner. We stopped by early. There weren't any other patrons when we first entered -- only some loud music and one musician taking requests. We weren't that hungry but wanted to try a couple different things, so we decided to share. There was a little bit of a language barrier even though we speak Spanish. We started with their mussels appetizer (choritos a la chalaca). Peruvian style mussels were marinated and topped with chopped onions and tomatoes. We'd said a tiny bit of spice, but they were quite spicy. I ate half of the mussels and left the topping on most. For our main, we ordered the whole fried snapper. Instead of yucca, I asked for salad. We wanted salad and the white rice and the fish. Instead, they forgot the rice and only brought a salad and the fish. When they delivered the salad it was without dressing. We had to flag down the server to get some dressing. We'd asked for oil and vinegar, and we were given ranch dressing. The whole fish was okay. We added a squeeze of lime and salt to help, but it was pretty bland. This place is probably quite busy a bit later in the evening when folks come for the entertainment and some drinks. It wasn't our cup of tea, however.

Those from NYC know bodega style means order and go, quickly. Bodega Brothers offers all day breakfast and a hot bar assortment of lunch options. I arrived a little after noon and their lunch options seemed to been selling through. The young lady at the register was very patient with me and polite. I went for the lunch special of Carne Guisado, Plátano Maduro and some Arroz con gandules (stewed beef, fried sweet plantains and rice with pigeon peas). I also ordered some jugo de chinola (passion fruit juice). Food was good and decently flavored. I really enjoyed the passion fruit juice, as it was slightly sweet and slightly tart. I would like to try some of their breakfast and other food options earlier in the day to see how the hot bar food would taste at its freshest time. Seems as of the time of this review their hours of operation are Monday - Friday from 6AM-3PM, so if you want to visit plan accordingly. My order was quickly served and i was out the door with time to spare. Not sure if they have coffee but if they do i would love to try some! I will be back.
