    We came here for a late lunch January 2024. This was our first time and it was excellent. I got the chicken and my husband got the churrasco steak with chimichurri sauce. So good! The chicken was cooked to perfection very tender and full of flavor. I had the sweet potato fries that were delicious fried bananas sweet and yummy. Scott got the garlic potatoes and a side salad. I love that they had six different sauces. Each one having a unique flavor. Restaurant was nice and clean and the owners were very kind and happy. Prices are reasonable. We will definitely come here again.

    Came on Monday and got the family combo for 4 people It's a half pound of chicken a half pound of steak and a half pound of pork chops served with a large rice a large bean and a large fry came out piping Hat cooked perfect enough food for four people Very casual order at the counter and find your seat place Text anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes to prepare the food, but it served hot Customer service was pretty great as they take your order immediately hand you a drink, and then prepare your food and drop it off at your table

    1/4 chicken meal
    Terrissa N.

    Really enjoyed this place for lunch. I ordered for pick up on Uber eats. Food was ready within 5 minutes. When I got home I open the tray to see a really good portion size for a lunch entree. It was the 1/4 chicken special for $11. I felt that the portion was large and the food was very fresh. Chicken was nice and juicy with well seasoned skin. Tostones were large and not greasy, salad was basic, iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickled onion. The onion sauces are really good too. I am so happy I saw this on uber eats because this will be my new spot. It's close to home and perfect for lunch. Highly recommend

    SOLID! My expectations were exceeded! 4 stars for the food and service! No real ambiance here but to be honest the food is so good it stands by itself! Huge portions, tons of flavor and cheap prices!!! I ordered the #7 combo based on some other Yelp recommendations and it did not disappoint! Hot, fresh and delicious! I used a little bit of each sauce to experience all the different flavors... the sauces are just ok. Other meals ordered were the 1/2 chicken combo plate and the sautéed chicken platter... both also delicious and huge!!! We all took boxes with leftovers! Overall really solid! I will absolutely be going back!!!

    I have always have a love and hate relationship with La Granja. I have only visited other locations a couple of times but I decided to give this new Sanford location a try. La Granja is a fast casual restaurant serving Peruvian food with a few twists. By this I mean they have added some items to the menu which are not typical Peruvian food side dishes. For example beans, maduros, plantains etc. We ordered the 1/4 rotisserie chicken that comes with rice and beans and lomo saltado ( Peruvian style beef stir fry) . The food overall was good and the sauces to complement the dishes were good too. My favorite was the garlic sauce. We also ordered Inca Kola which is Peru's most popular soda. This was my favorite growing up so it is always part of any Peruvian meal when I go out. The service was good, the staff was friendly and even the manager was going around checking on people's food and making sure all was good. That's a nice touch specially if they just opened the new location. While I'll pick another more traditional Peruvian restaurant I think La Granja is a good choice for a quick meal without spending a lot of money. Plus portions are big.

    The value for the portions I think is worth it. They have lunch special for their bowls during the week and our food was so fresh.. I know cause I burned myself cause I was so hungry lol But overall a good spot, restaurant was clean and dining room was also clean. They have a sauce bar so be sure to check that out service was quick and efficient.

    First time here and this place is awesome! The service is great, very friendly and patient. The food even better so delicious! We had the chicken & steak fajitas, beef sauteed meal and the chicken wrap combo. The flavors were delicious everything fresh! Can't wait to come back again and try the bowls! A must try definitely! Second visit and food and service still great! Food is plenty you get alit you definitely don't leave here feeling hungry. We tried something new today was seafood gumbo and wow what an amazing thing! Clean a definitely a must try!

    Wouldn't say it's the healthiest but it is better than any fast food joint. I would say this is my go to for grilled chicken and rice and not to mention this new location is close to my home. Staff is friendly regardless of the language barrier and their service is always recommendable. As for the food at this location; it never misses. I'd recommend to anyone to visit this LaGranja

    Quick fast service and tasty! What a great addition to the Sanford area. This is a family style restaurant that offers Latin style food! My favorites are the grilled items, so tasty and I also love the chicken. We ordered the family style dining with chicken and steak with onions. It also comes with rice and beans. We love the yuca fries! I just wish their sauces had a little more oomph to them but all in all pretty tasty. The family meal was only about $45 and it's meant to feed 4 adults. Looking for something Latin based and on a budget? Here's a place to visit in the Sanford area.

I had The Current bookmarked in Sanford and with it being only fifteen minutes away it was easy to get there. As I approached, I thought, "That's where it is?" I have passed the place many times but never knew it was there! It is a couter service place. Which mostly means a quick in and out. Plenty of seating inside and even some outside. I ordered my Blacken mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries and waited at a table for it to arrive. When it did, all I can say is, wow! Might of been the best blackened fish sandwich I have ever had, wow! The fries could have had a little more seaoning on them, but I was here for the fish and it ruled.

They also have outdoor seating as well as a bar. I ordered fried okra and fried shrimp. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. It's been years since I've had fried okra and this side dish did not disappoint! Hubby ordered the fried grouper sandwich and fries. Everything tasty! The food arrived quickly. I'm not 100% positive, but the food seemed to be made from scratch, i.e no pre-frozen items. We enjoyed our meal and can't wait to return. Parking is curbside.

They did however give her a small discount off her food. I got the fried fish tacos with mango sauce. Served hot and fresh. I did add a little tartar sauce and it was good. It also came with coleslaw. The view of the river is beautiful. I do however think they need to take some money and get them a new sign out front it's made out of wood and falling apart. They also need to freshen up the front of the building the welcome mat at the front is definitely seen it's better day. Overall good experience good food friendly service.

We ordered two three piece fish meals with two sides of coleslaw ($10.09 each), the clam strips appetizer ($4.29), and the 5 fried butterfly shrimp ( staff upsold us $1.99). The fish was still good but the pieces are noticeably smaller, the butterfly shrimp and clam strips are mostly breading, not worth the calories. The sides of coleslaw are questionable; it taste like it could be bad but it might be good, is missing the usual sweet flavor and is more bitter, definitely not risking it. Complete waste of four sides. The restaurant is still clean, the atmosphere in the dining area was relaxing and quiet, and the staff were pleasant; however, we took our meals to go, so we didn't realize what we were getting into until we got home and sat down to eat. I might give them a chance again in the future but I'll probably wait until we get a coupon and just go with the Fish, broccoli, and okra, these items haven't let me down yet.

After exploring the fun options, we decided to follow this fun guy's rave review. Boy... that was a giant mistake. We arrived around 2:30 pm so we didn't expect a vibrant crowd but it was pretty dead. We asked about beverages and the lovely server informed us that they were out of almost everything, the drink menu wasn't accurate, and she could just tell us what was on tap. Okay.. that's fine and we picked some reasonable beers. Then it all fell to hell. Hubby asked for the dinner with redfish only to have the server look at him dumbfounded and say she didn't know if they had it. Okay.. I asked for the crab cake appetizer with a side of fries. They have multiple loaded fry options on the menu. They had no fries. None. No redfish either. Hell, pretty sure they didn't have catfish either. We opted out of any entrees and just got the crab cakes (sans fries). Stopped by the ladies potty and it was super stinky, though still manageable. What wasnt manageable were the doors with broken locks and the toilet seats that slid across the bowls when you tried to tinkle. It's pretty when you look toward the sinks. It's vile when you sniff toward the pots. The crab cakes finally arrived and smelled/looked delicious. Alas, looks are wildly deceiving when the chef flips the BLACKened cakes so that you don't see it, but you sure as heck tasted the epic char of loneliness. I don't know what to make of this experience because many have had a lovely meal. They were understaffed (the server was a lovely darling), they were severely under-prepared, and the chef tried to hide an epic fail of a dish by flipping it over. Do I think I others should try it? I actually do. They have had good reviews and this was weird. Will I be back? No, that's very unlikely. I wish them the best but this was a fairly epic fail.
