I ordered the pernil(roast pork) with rice and gandules and sweet plantains. I also ordered a stuffed potato ball and croquetas and a loaf of pan de sabao bread. All were so good. Everyone is very nice here and they speak English and Spanish. They have beautiful cakes, cookies, crossaints, mallorcas here as well. There is a menu with hot food like other entrees such as Chicken, meatballs, pork chops, rice, and sancocho, and sandwiches. This place is clean and cute and parking right in front. Great local family business! Check them out!

BRUNCH is here at Wesley chapel!! Tallo brunch did not miss…read more Get the avocado bruschetta the flavors go crazy together and it's honestly one of the best things on the menu. The chicken and waffles were also a Win. The chicken portion was a little small, but it was super juicy, crispy and packed with flavor. And the waffle?

I decided to come here on a Saturday night, and was surprised to see the place wasn't busy. My…read morefriend and I got a wine and a cocktail. Both were delicious. Dinner was mediocre at best. The calamari was good to start off with. Nice and light. However, my salmon was dry and the mashed potatoes had no seasoning. My friend got the pesto pasta, and said it lacked salt and overall flavor. The atmosphere was good. Unfortunately with being open kitchen concept I felt that it was a bit hot in there. We were ready to leave and cool off in the car. Hoping that brunch may be a better option.

But I like the express better because the price range is better suited for the consumers. We got the Pernil pork and the rotisserie chicken. The Pernil pork comes with several slices of crispy skin.

So excited that Rice N Beans Express is now open. This location not far from Tampa Outlet Mall in…read moreLutz. It's on State Road 54. The first Rice N Beans location was in a modest location and then it became a big restaurant in Wesley Chapel. Now they have this new location which is closer to their first location. They serve rotisserie chicken here and other dishes depending on the day of the week. This is a Puerto Rican restaurant. They do not have mofongo. You can find that at their restaurant. Here, I would definitely say to choose their chicken. It was so good and flavorful. We ordered the full chicken and it included two sides which we chose arroz con gandules and Maduros (rice and sweet plantains). The chicken was our fave for sure and we would definitely get it again. The service was very friendly. I came late on Wednesday night. They close at 7 and it was about 6:45. I picked up a menu and came back the next day. Glad I stopped by and tried the chicken. It was great. There are many chicken places opening up around us, but it's fried chicken. This is roasted chicken. I love Puerto Rican rice arroz con gandules, but I'd ask if it's newly made. I didn't think this rice we had was as fresh and it didn't have much flavor. I would try the rice again if I saw they just made it! This area is becoming a Latin crawl for food. Go to Kinka's for breakfast or dessert, Cosita Rica's for empanadas or soups, and Rice N Beans Express for chicken!

The beef alcapurria has gotten much smaller with less flavoring (bland, very soggy & greasy) the pork was NOT fried like it should or use to be, moreso like it was old meat they cooked, sitting under a heating lamp for days kind of dry. Still would recommend, but get the meat to fat ratio under control. For the price on Uber (32$) I wouldn't do it again. Maybe in person waiting would be better.

Stepping into this charming restaurant, I was immediately transported back to the vibrant…read moreatmosphere of the Bronx in the 1990s. The soft background salsa music and the colorful decorations adorning the walls exuded a sense of Puerto Rican pride. I decided to indulge in the carne frita with arroz con gandules, accompanied by a house salad. However, my culinary journey took an unexpected turn. The carne frita was disappointingly bland, and the arroz con gandules was undercooked. Despite my initial hopes of discovering a delightful Puerto Rican dining experience, I couldn't help but wonder if the restaurant was simply off on an off day.

The restaurant is always clean and everyone is warm and inviting. I can't rave enough about the food. I have tried a bunch of different dishes but the pulled pork, yellow rice and red beans, yucca with onions is my favorite. I am not sure that it's 100% authentic but there are always Spanish speaking customers, that tells me something. The dessert, the cake that is in milk, sorry forgot the name was sooo good. No wait and you get tons of food! The prices are so reasonable I feel like they understand charge. See you again soon Latin Twist!

The sorrullito de maíz (fried corn fritter with cheese inside for my Anglo friends) is always a favorite. Just the right amount of sweet fried perfectly. As it was dinner time I couldn't get my favorite breakfast items so I went hardcore: Fried pork chops, white rice and Tostones. I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice the presentation was for essentially a non moving food truck. The food looked great and tasted even better. The rice was a bit hard but besides that all was perfect. My wife had grilled chicken with arroz con gandules (yellow rice with pigeon peas) and maduros. Also was a hit. And best part was there was more than enough for left overs. So happy to know we have really good PR food close by. The service was ok but I guess that's the express part. Courteous but quick. It's in Krate so seating is outside and depending on weather and crowd; could be crazy but always a good time.
