    What happened??!! Just got there and it's closed!! Signs off!! This hurts my soulll!! Hands down…read morethe best Puerto Rican food in south Florida

    In short : Come for the authentic Puerto Rican comida and stay for the beautiful atmosphere…read more It was my father's birthday and I wanted to take him for Puerto Rican food. He is Puerto Rican :) and we do cook some but not all of it . Anyway... Backstory: Chef Iram Ayala was born and raised in Caguas, Puerto Rico. This is considered Jibaro territory and they are known to be great cooks ! He has worked in many high end hotels such at The Breakers, Ritz Carlton etc. He started in the Hollywood farmers market and his comida became so popular that he opened this restaurant in honor of his grandmother Sara. Wela is short for Abuela which means grandmother in Spanish . Atmosphere: it's a tiny space located directly off Hollywood blvd but hard to miss because of the colorful storefront. Inside it feels as if you are stepping in Puerto Rico. Taino artwork is all over the walls ( Taínos are the indigenous people that all Puerto Ricans descended from). It's breathtaking. Appetizer: We ordered beef empanadillas (what Ricans call empanadas ) , Alcapurrias, and croquetas de mofongo. The empanadillas were fresh and came with a mayo ketchup sauce. Alcapurrias are specific to PR cuisine and they are a plantain fritter stuffed with whatever meat you desire . We had beef and they disappeared instantly . The croquetas stole the show in my opinion. They are unique in that they are made out of mofongo, stuffed with cheese (or whatever you want ) and served with a guava salsa. They were fire! Get these! Dinner: My father had the chuletas with arroz con gondules , my son and nephew both had steak and I had a pernil mofongo. Let me just take a moment to say this mofongo was probably one of the best I've had in a looonnngggg time . It wasn't dry.. it was so flavorful and the pernil was amazing. I had to stop myself for eating it all. Everyone liked their meats but the arroz con gondules was a bit lacking . It could've had more gondules and some green olives and/or pork. I'm used to My dad and Abuelita making it so flavorful so my standards are high on that side dish. For dessert we had the homemade tres leches . It was light , almost too light . Service was good.. our waitress was very nice. Overall I would definitely come back again.. Especially when they have their live music .

    This quaint shack is very cute and small. The staff is nice and welcoming. The food is delicious…read more The pizza is definitely something to fill up on. I dont come to Hollywood but this is one place to bring you to Hollywood.

    Amazing food, party atmosphere, great location in downtown Hollywood!…read more Great Food: This was my first experience having Dominican food and I am glad it was. The food was authentic and had EXCELLENT flavor! The presentation was also pleasantly surprising. - Steak Mofongo- Mofongo (Fried green plantain mashed) wrapped with tender steak and topped with a creamy garlic sauce. Out of this world. The flavors were authentic, robust, and the presentation was beautiful. You can tell they really enjoy cooking and plating their dishes. - Creamy Shrimp and Lobster Mofongo- Mofongo served with a creamy garlic shrimp and lobster sauce. This dish was bursting with flavor. The savory, creamy, garlic shrimp and lobster sauce was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed every bite. - Fried snapper- Whole Fried snapper served with tostones (Fried green plaintain). The fish was well seasoned, crunchy on the outside, and tender and flaky on the inside. Seating: -  Large restaurant with lots of tables, large bar, and a big dance floor. This place is definitely meant to be a party atmosphere. Since they are new to this location they are currently trying to pick up a vibe so it wasn't overly packed with people. The music is a mix of hip hop, reggaeton, dancehall, and soca. Fun atmosphere with great Latin and Caribbean vibes. Parking: - Street meter parking or there is a nearby parking garage. Staff: - Friendly and accomodating. The only downfall for me is that they do not speak English. If you do not have someone dining with you that speaks Spanish it is very hard to communicate your needs and order food. Nevertheless, they are very friendly and helpful. COVID 19 Regulations: - Some staff members wear masks. They clean and sanitize after each customer. Overall: - Great experience. Excellent food. Fun party vibes and great music. They definitely have my business.
