    This restaurant came highly recommended. I have sent staff there several times but I've finally been able to make it. They have a simple menu that covers all the bases. There are plenty of delicious drink options. It was hard making a selection. My favorite thing was the sauce for the tostones. The right amount of spicy and a hint of sweet.

    One of the delicious dishes.

    probably one of the most amazing meals I have ever eaten . Went with five other women. Food was served family style so we were all able to try basically almost everything on the menu. Designer drinks, appetizers, main dishes, and dessert. Every dish - every drink, all fantastic. Chicken, steak, pork, all fantastic the flavors I've never had anything like it. There was not one thing we tried that wasn't over the top Michelin grade! Thank you, Chef, Johnny, and all of the staff. they were amazing as well, especially with the manager who took care of us like we were family. The place is small enough to feel cozy, but not too small. I would just get there early so you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for the parking lot.

    WOW, if you are in the area and want a fabulous place for dinner, you better make a reservation here! It's a great little restaurant with great food, fun drinks, and great staff. They even have a covered patio out back, where we had the chance of enjoying our meal. Everything from the appetizer to the desert was fabulous. Great flavors, textures, spices, and quality ingredients. It is a bit pricey, but it's so worth it!

    Amazing vibe, amazing food, and amazing service. We're in the neighborhood, so have seen this place absolutely pop off since opening! It's definitely more up there in price but reasonably so- everything is top tier. Had a reason to celebrate so we stopped in- got a rezzy for a Friday night (the time slots definitely filled up, but it looked like there was room at the bar intermittently). Our server was so cheery and kind! We got bubbles on the house on account of celebration which was such a pleasant surprise! Then the food- dude the food. It's tapas style so we got a platos pequenos (app), platos grandes (entree), and platos al last (side) to share. The half chicken, incredibly smokied, seasoned, and blackened. So saucy we ordered rice on the side (a rec by our server) and that was 100% the right move. The alcapurria was maybe our fave- fried plantain with spicy beefy innards, divine. We also got two drinks- something akin to an old fashioned and this lavender, matcha potion. Both incredibly unique flavors. Such a great experience! Will definitely be coming again!!

    When striving to expand your palette and meal experiences, one should really take the self to Lenox to indulge in the array of choices of Caribbean, Afro Latin food. Slow down and enjoy island time in the big, bustling city of Seattle. Cute, and cozy ambiance does transport you to some where more island life style, while keeping the modern and chic flare. Servers were well versed in their menu and had great recommendations. We tried a variety of dishes and shared everything between a party of two and left very full and content. Don't skip out on dessert! The drinks were mediocre. I would leave that space for more savory goodness.

    Grabbed a 7PM reservation for a Friday night pretty easily, but this was before it made Bon Appetit's list of best new restaurants in the US. The restaurant was fairly busy (~70% capacity), but you could definitely still walk- in, especially if you didn't mind sitting at the bar. Overall, I'd say the food is definitely solid and Caribbean fair is quite hard to find in the city, but the pricing is quite high especially for the portion sizes. Not a dish, but their seasonal agua fresca was a home run - refreshing and not too sweet. Lechon (3.75/5): The mustard added a great bit of tang and sharpness to the crunchy, fatty lechon. I just wanted the meat to be a bit more tender. The rice also felt a bit undercooked and bland, but the braised greens were actually delicious. Tostones (4/5): Flavors were great, especially the green mojo sauce was super bright and herby. The tostones themselves were nicely salted, but I wanted them to be a little more crispy on the outside. Ceviche (3.5/5): The ceviche was balanced of sweet and savory, but the fish itself to me was just okay. I just wanted all the flavors to be amped up a bit more. Mofongo (3.75/5): There were only a couple prawns and the chicharron got a bit soggy, resulting in a bit of an odd chewy texture. The mashed plantain was actually delicious - not as fluffy as mashed potatoes, but just a super satisfying chew with savory broth.

    the apps were solid, the main dishes were fine? not mind blowing but good idk if they were worth $40+ especially since they suggested family style (which is what we did but the entrees weren't really big enough to get more than 1 bite if you do family style) no reservation on a sat night so ended up with a 2hr wait that we spent at the bar across the street but wasn't super surprised by this, our waitress was lovely tho!

    On our mini stacation we were staying in Belltown. I stumbled upon an article that a Belltown restaurant, Lenox was recently named by Bon Appétit magazine as a top 20 new restaurants in America. I looked into it and was able to somehow get a reservation. Man it was great! Their specialty is Afro-Caribbean food. This picture is of Mofungo and Tostones with Mojo sauce. We also had a great Pollo al Carbon. The bar has their own rum blends, so I had a couple of Rum and Cokes with their rum blend. The rum tasted just like a Puerto Rican rum my good friend from Puerto Rico turned me on to many years ago, Ron del Barrilito. I asked and it isn't in the blend but tasted just like that oaky flavor I recall. If you are in the area, try to get a table you won't be disappointed; great food and great service! https://www.bonappetit.com/story/best-new-restaurants-2025

    The photos does not do it JUSTICE! I am so terrible at taking photos. No photos can capture the flavor it came with!! We were so blown away by the flavor. The fish was topped with this sweet light pineapple sauce and the green sauce underneath just balanced it so perfectly. It was not spicy like I thought it was going to be. The sweet potato was cooked so perfectly, the caramelized skin on top was perfect. The portion for this was a bit small. The chicken was EVEN better. You can taste the smokiness right off the bat. The crunchy fresh onions mixed with the juicy Smokey chicken was just all the better. No words can describe it we loved it so so much. The inside was beautiful, we went at night, it was dim lights and a lot of people, it is a little noisy in there only because there's so many people talking and having a great time. Staff was so kind, we were past closing but they didn't rush us at all. Must try here. We walked here from the needle too. We were sad the flan de queso wasn't on menu :(

    Fun flavor packed in a verity of fun dishes. Grabbed a res here to get dinner before a nearby show at the crocodile. The menu is not huge but had an abundance of interesting things making it hard to choose. The clarified pina colada was so flavorful, really capturing the true pina colada essence. The ropa viaja empanada was a hit at the table and the hush puppies were super tasty as well. Service was great, helping us choose the best dishes and getting us on our way in time for the show. A fun vibe for a pre-dinner show out!

    My boyfriend urged me to leave a 1 star review, but I felt the service was good and the drink was decent so I'm leaving 2 stars. The hush puppies and acapurria were boring. There was no good flavor profile. The acapurria was oddly sweet, just made it a little off putting. The pork belly in the lechon was good, but it is really hard to mess up pork belly. The issue we had with this dish is it was insanely salty/vinegary. It was covered in this mustard sauce that could be decent if it wasn't so insanely overpowering. Needs to be toned down with something else. The pickled cabbage also made it extra salty. The rice and sauce underneath was good. I thought the collard greens were decent but my boyfriend said he couldn't even eat them. We were surprised that the piña colada was unlike any piña colada we've ever had. They use coconut water rather than coconut milk. I thought it was good, but we were expecting a regular piña colada so it's just not as good as we were expecting. That's more on us though! Overall disappointed with the flavors in comparison to the price we paid. Safe to say we won't be back.

    A vibey Carribean spot with family-style menu. I love the clean but cozy aesthetic they have at the restaurant. It's packed on a Saturday night but we only needed to wait a bit before being seated, plus the super friendly staff gave us free champagne while we're waiting! All the dishes were flavorful and high quality. The Empanada and Lechon were a must for me. Delicious brisket filling in the empanada and the lechon was succulent and surrounded in a bed of dreamy coconuty sauce. Other dishes like the Pollo and Mofongo were good too, really can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

    Alcapurria
    Christine D.

    This place is unreal. I would travel to Seattle just to have the alcapurria. One of the most flavorful dishes I've ever had. For gluten free folks, almost the entirety of the menu is naturally gluten free so you'll have lots of options! I also loved their clarified pina colada--so easy to drink. The waitress was so kind and had great recommendations. Highly recommend.

    Lechon  Crispy skin pork belly, arroz gandules, coco greens, pickled mustard seed.

The beef brisket taco seemed small, but turned out to be just the right size. Solid corn tortilla, with an unctuous beef filling just oozing with flavor. The empanadas stole the show. Incredible pastry crust - flaky, chewy, and loaded with flavor by itself. They were stuffed to the seams with the respective filling, and the side slaw was a great palate cleanser. Kale and mushroom was delicate seasoned, each bite just melted. The Jamaican beef, though, was even better . The spice ratio was perfect. These are almost addictive. Note: don't know all the details, but two patrons next to me at the bar had little treasure maps and on the "hunt" to try all of the varieties by answering a bunch of questions. Check it out!

It's not terrible but for the price it's not really worth it, even at happy hour prices. Examples: meat is super dried out and flavorless, deviled eggs are $4 for one USDA medium (or maybe small?) egg. I think the only reason to go here would be for the convenience (proximity to the convention center, etc) or the cocktails if you like that type of drink. Or maybe for a work happy hour if the boss is paying! Staff were friendly and service worked like a well-oiled machine. Pretty small space overall, seating for maybe 20 parties plus a bar (unless there's a back room somewhere that I didn't see). There's a outdoor bar/counter; not sure if it's available during the warmer months or if it's now a relic of early COVID outdoor dining. They do take reservations. This is an automatic 20% service charge place, which is fine as they're very clear and upfront about it. The awkward part is the credit card reader then also asks you to add a 2%, 4%, or 6% tip and it's set up such that the user interface makes it more difficult to add 0 tip than to add an additional tip. Besides which, the wait person is staring at you (and the screen) the whole time. From a monetary perspective, I don't mind tipping an extra ~5% on top of the service fee, as I would have tipped around 25% regardless, but I hate coercive UX/UI design choices like this on principle because it's skeezy. I hope the 20% is at least going to the staff and not leaving them to tip out off of people's 2% tips because that would be rough....!

Via an IG post & a Plate of Nations showcase, I was able to locate them again. Currently, their food truck is located in South Seattle in Hillman City right off of S Brandon & Rainier Ave S. Earlier this morning I saw a post that the pernil was ready. Pernil is marinated and slow roasted pork shoulder which results in tender, succulent meat. Omg, I'm so there! Traffic on I-5, I-90, and Rainier Ave S was merciful and I found a parking spot diagonal from their food truck. I ventured over after 12noon and was greeted by one of the owners. She was putting finishing touches on the specials whiteboard. There's their usual menu, as well as, today's featured specials. I ordered a pair of pernil empanadillas. With my order, I was given a sauce cup with cilantro aioli, which was recommended by one of the owners. I kept the takeout box open so the empanadillas would remain crisp. The tantalizing scent permeated my car. I was good and did not feast on one while driving. Once home, a brief nuke, cut it in half, first tasted the pernil on its own (amazing!), then the crust (thin & crispy), finally another bite altogether with the recommended dipping sauce. On point flavorful savory special! Look forward to coming back to try other menu items: appetizers, sandwiches, hearty entree plates, and mofongo bowls. Plus their dessert flan!

Most Caribbean spots around Washington lean Jamaican, so finding a place doing proper Puerto Rican dishes felt special. The menu and quality reminded me of what you'd find back on the island, at least pre-pandemic. They had classics like chillo frito, mofongo, and pasteles, and it tasted like homemade small business cooking. Honestly, I thought it was even better than La Isla before the fire that shut that place down. A few pain points. It's far. The restaurant is south of Tacoma near I-5, so it's a bit of a drive whether you're coming from Seattle or even from the airport. It was also cash only when I went, though you could sit inside and eat. Last time I called it sounded like they were still mostly doing the to-go model and hadn't fully gone back to the way it used to operate. I haven't made the trip again yet, but it's still on my list. Also worth saying, after the pandemic when I moved to San Diego, I couldn't find an authentic Puerto Rican spot there either. That made me appreciate this place even more. After the Benito Super Bowl performance I'm definitely craving some Puerto Rican food again. Might have to make the drive soon.
