It was a ten minute walk for me to the restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to find my food was already ready for pickup when I arrived. I ordered the Ropa Vieja entree with maduros, rice and black beans, the yuca con mojo starter, and guava empanadas. The portion sizes were generous, filling, and reasonably priced. My highlights were the perfectly caramelized maduros and the boldly flavorful yuca con mojo. I was too full to eat the empanadas, so I had to eat them for breakfast the next morning and they were still crispy with the perfect balance of guava and cream cheese filling. I'll definitely return next time in town.

I don't say this often, but STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND EAT HERE!!!! I was accidentally turned on to…read morethis restaurant during a catered lunch event at work. I had one cubano and was HOOKED! The flavor... the experience... the family... wow. After I ate here once I decided to have them cater a huge event for my husband. I showed up and was greeted with graciousness and kindness. They worked to ensure that I ordered exactly what I needed for my event. When we picked up they went out of their way to ensure that we had what we needed in the way we needed it. Everything tasted heavenly and we have recommended them to so many peers! We will be back as often as my waistline allows!!

Seems to be a small operation with one or two cooks in the back along with the lady manning the front desk. Has daily specials which I ordered and for the very fair price you get huge portions of food, I came out feeling full while others might need a to go box. Was rather disappointed that they only had fried yuca that day and not the steamed version but maybe they'll have it in the future, easy to see myself coming back especially since I'm curious about the Cuban sandwich now.

I ordered the jerk chicken, and they served a generous, well-seasoned chicken breast that was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The rice and beans were delicious, the black beans were a great addition, and the plantains were cooked perfectly. The prices are very reasonable, and they also offer a military discount, which makes the value even better. Nice on the inside. Like the decorations. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Jamaican food with great service and excellent value, I highly recommend Willie & Rum Island Grill!

The space felt authentically Jamaican, which added to the vibe. No oxtails available though, so just be prepared for that. Also, it was my server's first week, so give a little grace and patience with timing. The drinks were amazing. My only observation was that, like many places using fresh garnishes for cocktails, gloves weren't worn during drink prep but hey, maybe the alcohol handled the sanitation duties *shrugs* Overall, it was a really good experience and I'd definitely go back.

We didn't really need it since the restaurant was pretty empty, but we were a bigger group and didn't want to risk it. The hostess didn't confirm our reservation until about 10 mins prior, which was quite concerning, but everything worked out at the end anyway. Our server was wonderful! It was our first time here and he explained their background and what his favorites were on the menu. We for sure wanted to try the paella, so went ahead and ordered that first, with the carretillero ceviche, mixed empanadas (chicken and beef) and patatas bravos to start. The ceviche was delicious and fresh. Loved the fried calamari and all the toppings it was served with. The empanadas were also delicious and was served with a very spicy sauce! The patatas braves had a nice, smoky flavor. Now for entree, I ordered the veggie chaufa. Our server may have been a little biased as he preferred the Peruvian side of the menu, more so than the Cuban side. My dish was easily good for 2-3 people. It had tons of veggies and scrambled egg, plus served with a side of fried plantains. Our group ordered a bunch of other dishes and tried some of them. The churrasco steak was a little chewy but loved the chimichurri it was served with. The parrillada de mariscos was so good too, and my personal fave was the grilled octopus! Personally, I would opt for this instead of the valenciana paella. You essentially get the same types of seafood. I love that we got to dine at this hidden gem! We truly enjoyed our experience and will be back for sure.

They don't have a waitlist though so you just kinda gotta wait and it's first come first serve. We sat at the bar and just snatched a table when we saw someone leave. If you come here you should DEFINITELY get a mojito! They're HUGE and delicious and STRONG. My friends (who don't drink alcohol much) had a couple sips and were gone we had to walk around the square after to sober up! I got the ropa vieja and thought it was delicious! The beef was super flavorful and tender. I was a bit disappointed that they only gave two tiny plantain slices cause it was good and I wanted more. The rice and beans were pretty average, the beans were extremely plain, definitely could've been better. I would definitely come back to try a Cubano though since that's what they're known for and my friend who got one almost melted when she took a bite cause it was so delicious (I took a bite too and it really was very good!). Definitely recommend this place! I will say the service is a bit slow because it was packed but servers were very nice!

Trust, you won't be missing a thing here. The menu is not too large - they do everything well without a ton of options. Also, they have a diverse cocktails, mocktails and wine selection. No Sangria though - at least that's what our server said. I got a Rose instead and my friend had their Passiflora. For dinner, we started with the chips and queso and fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes had a great flavor and topped with grape tomatoes, basil and a sauce. It was delightful. Our entree's were the Cuburrito - their vegan buritto stuffed with rice, beans, maduros, avocado, carmelized onion & vegan picadillo. I'd add some hot sauce but otherwise it's amazing. The atmosphere is on theme - there's an island hut booth, outdoor dining and plenty of art, plants and music playing. The restrooms are unisex and on theme as well.

I adore sitting on the patio and soaking in the neighborhood's vibrancy. Watching the e-bikes whiz by with kids on the back and teenagers loitering the mini-market gives the whole scene a modern Norman Rockwell feel. The margs are cheap, the food is a great value, and everything always comes out quickly. The service is attentive, too--you'll have multiple people checking in to ensure you're happy. As a regular, I've tried most of the menu. One of the 'secret' standout items is the salmon salad (insider knowledge passed down to me!). The quesadilla is my other go-to, though I do wish they'd finally start cutting the darn thing into triangles! Bottom line: this is a place to just hang and relax. Don't expect anything over-the-top; it's simply a very comforting, reliable neighborhood staple.

It was flavorful, well-textured, and paired perfectly with the creamy orange sauce, which was absolutely delicious. I'd honestly come back just for the mofongo and sauce. The tofu, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was crispy on the outside, but much too salty for my taste, which overpowered the rest of the dish. At $20, I'm on the fence about whether it's a great value. It's not cheap, but the quality of the mofongo almost makes up for it. Would I order it again? Absolutely, but mainly for the mofongo. Next time I'd probably ask if the tofu can be made with less salt or try a different protein.

There were so many good options on the menu, filled with Cuban classics, and a few unexpected items such as a caprese salad. I ended up going with the churrasco steak, which was at a great price point. I got it medium rare and it came out a short time later perfectly cooked.
