Everything was delicious. Maybe put a Cuban on the menu? The pork was so tender and flavorful. The mofongo was not dry at all! Sangria was perfect. Not to much citrus! I would come back again when in the area. read more

After my first experience here, i knew i had to come back for a redo! First time around we had mid service with an hour wait time for food. This time around i noticed they had a runner that helped run the food, i was so much happier. Food came out fast, the drinks were great, food was spectacular, i loved the music and the vibes, the ambiance was to die for! I loved it so much more this time around and the food is always good here. We will be back! read more

We dined here for lunch with a party of six. The appetizer platter was large enough for everyone to enjoy. Several people ordered the grilled skirt steak and were delighted by it. On the other hand, the slow-roasted pork (Pernil Asado) was badly in need of a sauce. Service was polite and attentive and they did not mind that we lingered at the table after our meal to enjoy our conversation read more

Nice place would go back if I'm in the area authentic food empanadas need a little work crust shows it was previously frozen or pre made not fresh . Staff was very nice although they think anyone that walks in there speaks Spanish lol well not all that eat Spanish cuisine are Spanish welcome to America folks read more

returned to Palermao's and had a wonderful meal. we started with Puerto Rican hummus which was different than traditional hummus because of the infusion of Latin spices but was delicious. My wife had chicken marsala which was fusion of Italians and Puerto Rican seasoning and again was delicious. It came in a huge portion along with black beans rice and sweet plantains. I had the chicken creole which again was a generous portion of chicken breast in a unique latin based creole sauce that was also delicious. I had the Mofongo with that came with a garlicky buttery sauce, which if you're a Mofongo fan is not to be missed.service was attentive, professional and friendly. The only thing that you need to be aware of is the restaurant is quite noisy which makes conversation a bit difficult. Palermo's is a must place to eat if you're in the Orange Park area read more

Fui este fin de semana a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi mejor amigo, y desde que llegamos nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Éramos un grupo grande de más de 20 personas, y aun así todo fluyó con organización, paciencia y una atención excepcional. Nuestra mesera, Enith, se lució por completo: amable, atenta, rápida y siempre con una sonrisa. Se nota cuando alguien trabaja con pasión y amor por lo que hace. También quiero reconocer al gerente, que en todo momento fue paciente, profesional y nos trató con una calidez increíble. Me mudé a Jacksonville hace apenas 2 años, y sinceramente todavía no había encontrado un restaurante puertorriqueño tan espectacular como este. La comida, el ambiente, el servicio... todo estuvo a otro nivel. Gracias por hacer que el cumpleaños de mi mejor amigo fuera un día tan especial para él y para todos sus invitados. Nos regalaron más que una comida: nos regalaron recuerdos hermosos que no se olvidan. *20/10. Súper recomendado. Volveremos sin pensarlo. read more

Food is 100 percent authentic. Everything was so fresh and made to order. The appetizers platter had mini bacalaitos (cod fritters) chicharron de pollo (crispy chicken) meat turnovers and sorullitos all good and freshly made. Alcapurrias were absolutely DELICIOUS. Had the perfect meat/plantain ratio and fried to perfection.The fried red snapper was perfectly made and the churrasco with trifongo was to die for and so was the stuffed chicken breast with goat cheese sauce. We were a group of 14 and they did their best to accommodate all of us. Considering the amount of people our food came out fast and NOBODY had a complaint. Everything was good,fresh and tasty. We also ordered a thanksgiving meal for 20 ppl from them and it lived up to the expectation. The turkey was super moist and flavorful and so were the rest of the sides. This restaurant has proven they know what they are doing. I can't wait to be back. This place is a true Gem . read more

Skirt steak was amazing! Best sangria we've ever had! Flavors were delightful! Ambience is superb!

The food was so flavorful and delicious. The wait staff was above par. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Got to Palermo right when they opened at 11a on a Thursday. Friendly service that was attentive but not overbearing. Plenty of parking outside and tables inside. Food came out fairly quickly and was hot and tasty. I ordered the fried pork chunks and also tasted the roasted pork. Both really flavorful. There's also a tasty pepper vinegar they bring to the table. read more

My first visit to Palermo was through a friend's recommendation. Food was excellent. I got the potato roll. It was hot and meaty. For the main course, I choose the rice and beans with cajun vegetables. I asked for hot sauce so how cajun were the veggies. For drinks, I had a pinot grigio and 2 presidente beers. Unfortunately, Palermo does not have a full service bar. Service on the other hand is slow. I had to signal my waitress to my table. When, she came to the table she said she was in a meeting. Meetings should happen prior to opening or closing. The restaurant is spacious and tables are very private. Palermos was not as busy as I thought it should be. However it is a nice family style restaurant. I can not wait to bring family or friends here. Spanish restaurants are not many and far between if not a mexican restaurant. The waitresses were friendly but I think the food outweighed the service which is a good thing. Im out to eat but would always love to get both, good food and excellent service. read more

The food and service has not been the same lately. The quality of our meal, like the steak was not as tender. And they charged us extra for the rice and beans which should have been included as side dish. We use to bring our church guests to eat here 3 times a year but will no longer. No one came to refill our drinks or ask us how the meal was. It's a shame because it used to be awesome. read more

This is my first visit on a recommendation from a Puerto Rican that eats here often and says they cook just like his Abuelita. My hubby is also Boricua and wanted to bring something home to him. On the recommendation I got morcilla, and rellenos de papa for my hubby. I ordered the beef empanadas. All were super delish. The morcilla has just the right amount of kick. The papas were in a log shape not a ball. They are small tho. The empanadas are the same size as the Goya disks as well. My hubby loved everything and so we cannot wait to go back to have a full dinner. I waited 15 min for my to go order. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant dining room was immaculately cleaned and they played music as well. read more

I love supporting local and this restaurant has been around for quite awhile, but just in a different location. The menu is full of variety and there's something for everyone. The food came out fast and was beautifully presented with tons of flavor. Oh the red beans and rice. YUM! I brought my mom here and she said she really liked her porkchop, red beans and mofongo served with a small bowl of mofongo chicken broth. I really enjoyed their version of the Puerto Rican Bistec (Bistec Encebollado or steak and onions) and the trio of empanadas. The side of sweet fried plantains with the savory flavors were the perfect accompaniment! The service was outstanding, our waitress was so attentive and we never felt rushed. There's a ton of items on the menu that I want to try, but one can only eat so much. It's great comfort food in the OP area that's delish! Save room for coffee and dessert! read more

If you love authentic food and not the typical chain restaurant style dining you will add this one to your restaurant rotation. What we ate: Slow roast Pork with friend green plantains (tostones) Delicious seasoned minced pork slow roasted and delicious Skirt Steak (Churrasco a la Parrilla) This is steak and onions, at first glance the steak looked over cooked, however once you take the first bite you'll realize how tender and juicy it is. Saved the best for last Seafood empanada Made with real crab meat not the imitation stuff. Trust me get 2 of these:) I enjoyed the experience here took me back to Puerto Rico. read more

Palermo was an amazing choice for the family to have my birthday dinner!! We went on a Tuesday at about 6:30pm and there was no wait. The ambiance of the restaurant was very welcoming and its inside something like an enclosed mall. I ordered the catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic sauce, everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful. My mom ordered the yellow rice and beans with a side of yuca fries and everything was great! For dessert i had the flan and it was so perfect, full of flavor and fulfilled my sweet tooth. I will definitely go back. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Jax, possibly favorite ever. Since it moved to this location we have been coming here. Everytime me and my family order the stuffed chicken breast with yellow rice and red beans with a side of trifongo. Genuinely my favorite meal I have ever had. If I was on my death bed I would want it as my last meal. The prices are so worth it. It's a nice restaurant as well, always clean. Service is always great. I have never had a complaint and I've been coming for years. Seriously never disappointed. read more

It's been a while since I have eaten at a Puerto Rican restaurant, so while seeing Palermo as an option when visiting the area, I had to come and try it out, and glad that I did! The restaurant is quite big and nicely spaced out. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. It took a little while for the food to come out, but not overly so (I hadn't started to ask myself where my food is) just something I noted. The food was delicious! My only critique is that the Pernil was maybe a tad too salty to my taste, but it was still very good. The rice and beans took me back to visits to Puerto Rico... Very good. The potatoes roll was surprisingly better than expected. Overall I definitely recommend Palermo, you won't be disappointed. read more

My experience at Palermo Puerto Rican Kitchen was fantastic from start to finish. I went on a Friday night, and I am happy to say the place had a good crowd post Covid, but still plenty of room for eating. My party's wait was very short which was a plus. The menu had so many wonderful choices, and they have a great web package to order take out, but this experience we dined in. The food was delicious. There were so many great items to try, but I decided to try the chicken. I know that may sound boring, but the owner came to my table and sold me on this dish. It was a stuff chicken which I normally would stay away from, but this chicken was fantastic. The chicken was so moist and the filling in the chicken was so savory. I also got beans, white rice, and plantains. One word....Amazing. This experience was done in November of 2021, so I'm looking to experience this place again soon. read more
