    Located at Swamp Cat Brew Co. Really good. Owners are friendly. A bit pricey for what you get, but the flavors were on point. Come to Swamp Cat and support these local businesses.

    I can't rave enough about our experience here!! Best restaurant we've tried in Fort Myers so far!…read more AMBIANCE The vibe in here is great - fun lighting and decor, with plenty of seating and great AC. There are some patio seats outside as well. SERVICE The best part of our visit! Our server was awesome - giving us real-time feedback on what to order and what we should try. He gave us awesome recommendations that didn't lead us astray. He was attentive, friendly, and personable. Even though they were slammed and packed, he checked in on us often and food came out in a timely manner. DRINKS Delicious and great variety! My dad got a marg with tajin rim, my brother got a coconut mojito, and I got a fun frozen drink. All delish! They have aguas frescas, mocktails and more too. FOOD This brought me back to Puerto Rico! Such authentic and fun flavors here. We got: Sampler appetizer - highly recommend! Tons of food, great for sharing, and a great way to try things like fried plantains and mofongo balls. Concha meal with gandules side - unreal! I forgot how good concha can be. And our server recommended the gandules - Puerto Rican rice that is the national dish - and it was amazing. I wish we'd had room for dessert - it all looked amazing! We will be back for SURE.

We entered the establishment, we noticed a couple of people eating and the server was walking us to the table with the menus and I noticed she didn't grab the lunch menu, luckily I did grab it and took it to our table. We ordered two lunch specials both with arroz guandules, salad, I got fried chicken chunks, with tostones and my boyfriend got fried pork chunks with sweet plantains. The food arrived promptly. They served us large portions. I especially liked the rice and the fried chicken chunks. The tostones were a little on the hard side. My boyfriend was a little upset with the fried pork chunks. He said the meat was cold and hard. (Ouch) The restaurant was a little empty, but what you expect on a Monday afternoon. The restaurant seems like it could be a vibe on the weekends. I love Puerto Rican food and I see they offer an extensive menu and might give it another try if come through the area again one day.

    My friend and I had wanted to head up to North Port for some time to try Puerto Rican Spice. The…read moreonly regret is waiting so long! We decided to go family-style and ordered several different dishes so that we had variety and leftovers to take home. We started with Papas Locas with steak, and they were amazing. The Mofongo with pernil was absolutely delicious and probably my favorite dish of the evening. The arroz mamposteado and maduros amarillos were both so flavorful, as was the shrimp in creamy garlic sauce my friend ordered (shellfish allergy here). We ordered beef, beef and cheese, cheese pizza, and guava and cheese empanadas and all were fantastic. We finished with tres leches and flan for dessert. The flan is made with cheese and some of the best I've ever eaten. Doris is the owner, and she was so warm and inviting and giggled at how much food we ordered. We will absolutely be back.

The service was good especially since I was in a group of 14 in a place that can only hold 31. The food was great. The flavor of the Arroz con gandules reminds me of my mom's rice, for anyone that knows me, is a great compliment. It was a hair dry and just a bit undercooked but the flavor, great. The mofongo was amazing. The Penil (roasted pork) was on point. The food took a little while to come out but I think it's due to do many orders at the same time. The owner was the restaurant was great and reminded of my grandpa, very friendly and outgoing. I will be coming back

There's truly something on the menu for everyone, whether you're picky or adventurous. You can tell they really care about both the food and the overall experience.

    Everyone claims to be "Authentic" but very few actually deliver. The friendly folks at "My Boricua…read moreKitchen" are the REAL DEAL. It hasn't been easy finding real Latin food in Charlotte, but we have definitely found our spot for delicious, authentic, Puerto Rican food! Do not! I repeat, Do Not be discouraged by the "food truck" dining or you'll miss out one some of the best Monfongo in town! They have their schedule on Facebook which is how we found them and tracked them down. We managed to catch them tonight in Mooresville at King Canary Brewery and we got there early! We have been craving some Mofongo and they did not disappoint. I wish I would have asked their names as they were both extremely friendly and helpful. But not to worry as I expect to be regulars. They have a sufficient menu with chicken, shrimp, pork and beef and it's full of flavor! If you've never had "Mofongo" (a Puerto Rican dish with fried plantains as its main ingredient. Plantains are picked green and fried, then mashed with salt, garlic, and oil) you don't know what you're missing. I highly recommend "My Boricua Kitchen" and I will definitely be back! FYI: They also make Pasteles (don't forget, no olives)
