    Jibarito de chicharrón de pollo

    Everything about this place is *chef's kiss*! This is the second time we came to eat here and it did NOT disappoint. The staff are truly amazing people and the food is beyond delicious! Definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic Puerto Rican food!

    Pincho de cerdo Empanadillas de camarón

    I came back for a second time after my first experience was great. Unfortunately this time I had to take a star away. This time I called and order for pickup so I didn't have to wait, however when arriving I noticed that there is one line for everything, so I had to stand in the regular line (20 min) to pick up my food. So by then my food had been ready for a min and was a bit lukewarm. They need to work on pick up options or have a separate line for those coming to pick up. Other than that I order the mofongo with fried pork. The mofongo was good , but compared to last time the pork chunks didn't have any fat and was a bit dry. The octopus salad was supe flavorful and tender. The fried cheese w guava sauce was ok. And the Alcapurria was super thin with barely any meat in it. I do enjoy the food and i will be back , but I hope the pick situation changes.

    Wow this food truck food is amazingly tasty! Nothing over seasoned at all. I definitely highly recommend to try their food. Tried it twice and not disappointed at all! Better to order in advance since the wait can be too long (45 minutes); especially if already hungry! You will devour their food with pleasure! Yummy! They have a few tables by the truck for the lucky ones who gets there before the crowd. Enjoy the WEPA!!! Flavors of Puerto Rico kitchen in South Florida!

    Picadera

    Absolutely delicious! I ordered the Picadera to go, and was not disappointed. It comes with alcapurrias, fried pork, tostones, empanadillas, and sorrullitos - which are now my new favorite! Everything was fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Located in the Pembroke Place Mall (right by the Chevron), they have a nice set up with tables/ chairs. The service was good, but they also had call ahead ordering, which makes the wait time much quicker. I will definitely be stopping by again.

    Great pasteles! Fast pick up. I would recommend them. However, they need to be ordered early.

    Everything we've had here has been great. Tried another local PR food truck. And it was not nearly as great as this place was.

    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 .

    First visit to El Palacio de Mofongo. Incredible flavors and a staff that made us feel right at…read morehome. .Mofongo con camarones al ajillo was so delicate and succulent. Mofongo con bistec encebollado was prepared skillfully and their mofongo is a wonderful light texture that is clearly handmade with a mortar and pestle. The batido de mango was creamy and not overly sweet from using fresh fruit instead of pre-made purees.The chef owner and the line cook Even came by the table to make sure we enjoyed everything. The waitress was genuinely enthusiastic about the food and the flan and espresso finished the meal off perfectly.

    Let me start my review by saying the food was really good and worthy of a 5 star rating on its own…read more BUT...my experience with this resturant is a classic example of how service can just take away from the food quality. My work colleagues and I were greeted by a friendly host and sat at a table. But everything from service went down hill from there when our actual table server arrived. We were immediately greeted with "You ready", with a frowned face. We asked for water with lemon (never received) and was later served water from a pitcher (without lemons) only later to see an adjacent table served water from a picture with lemon and orange slices. Didn't make much of that. But when our waiter returned to take our order the second time, again with the same "you ready" frown faced I asked for help with the menu. I could hear her sigh so loud I wanted not to believe the feeling that we were bothering her in some way; and there was maybe only a quarter of the tables with customers. After placing our orders I asked my colleagues if they were getting the same vibe as I was from her and they both felt the same way. From my seating angle I could see this young lady server when she approached the front bar/seating area of the restaurant; which appeared to be where the other waiters all gathered when waiting. But I noticed her smiling and engaging in friendly conversation with two customers sitting at the bar. I noticed this difference from how she treated us vs these other guest throughout the entire time. With them she was smiling, engaging and not in any flirtatious way, but seemingly just being nice....being a good waiter. Clearly she was choosing NOT to be nice to us, and this bothered me internally because I did not know why. Our friendly greeter from when we arrived was seen serving another table and whose behavior was consistently friendly with everyone. So why the difference with our waiter I kept asking myself. I still gave a generous tip despite this service. It was important to me to do so, but I probably won't be back here, and this would have been a nice place to go back to with mi amor.
