A Puerto Rican coworker told me Coqui by Tayta's in Homestead was the best Puerto Rican food he'd…read morehad outside of Puerto Rico. That's a bold claim. Turns out, he was right. My wife and I both ordered mofongo, mine with bistec encebollado, hers with chicharrón de pollo. The mofongo was garlicky, hearty, and soaked up the rich broth like a sponge. The steak and onions were pure comfort food, while the crispy chicken skin shattered with every bite. This isn't fancy food. It's food made with care, tradition, and a clear love for Puerto Rican culture. If you're driving through South Florida on your way to the Keys, make this stop. A taste of Puerto Rico without leaving Florida.

And he is truly a chicken nugget/tender connoisseur. Authentic Puerto Rican food with great flavor. The other little one is not usually a fan of beans but these beans were a hit with her and she cleaned her plate. Want to come back and try the monfongo and other PR specialties. Highly recommend.

WOWWWWW!!! Super delicioso!!!…read more We heard about this great food truck before but happened to be around the area and drove by. So impressed. The people are super friendly and it's a family run business. I ordered Alcapurrias, Emapanadilla de pizza, and sorullitos. I happened to ask what is the little casita next to the food truck and she said oh that's for our shakes and smoothies. So I asked what she recommends and I was so happy with my mango and parcha (passion fruit) smoothie. Great recommendation!! I will be back again as I've heard their triplets sandwich is fire! The lady making the smoothie was so cute, she's the grandmother, and she loves what she does and it shows! So happy to have found them and can't wait for next weekend to be back.

Although I was tempted by many items on this menu, I went with the mofongo chicken habanero and…read morearroz con gandules. Ladling the bone broth over each bite of mofongo created very comforting mouthfuls. I would've preferred pork belly instead of chicken, but we already had it as an appetizer so I opted for chicken habanero. I feel the breading on the chicken was a little too filling for this dish and the pork would've added some needed sweetness. Overall a substantial meal with exotic flavors. I appreciate the changing menu, and look forward to seeing what's next! Comparing older photos of the menu, there's no longer a time restriction for burgers and sandwiches (all available after 3 PM). There's a standard 15% gratuity added to each bill. Dining area felt small, and a little too close to everything. This place might benefit from an upgraded space.

Wow. This place was phenomenal. Our Airbnb host recommended this Cuban/Latin American restaurant in…read moreHomestead, FL and it was downright amazing! We got a sampler platter that included some croquetas, plantain chips, tamal, fried pork chunks, and fried shrimp. Zero complaints about anything! So so good. My main was the Sopa de Res, which was a hearty soup. The serving size was gigantic. I actually took most of it back with me and it made two more meals. There were lots of root vegetables, slow cooked beef still on the bone, a side of rice and corn. My dad got a huge Cuban sandwich that he also ate on for days and my mom had empanadas, which I finished off for a third meal. We also went back for pie. That was ok - it was extremely rich and kind of pricy at $13 a slice. I also tried their Cortadito and took it to go. Great coffee as well. Highly, highly recommend eating here. The decor is fun and the wait staff super nice and patient with all our questions. They also have a separate ice cream shop across the parking lot.

My husband ordered a Cuban sandwich with French fries cooked to perfection in clean oil, and I had grilled chicken (pechuga à la Blanche) with beans, rice, and sweet plantain, along with cilantro sauce. The portion sizes are very generous and we each had leftovers for another whole meal. We will definitely be back! I also appreciated that the suggested tip amount started at 15%. We left more, but too many restaurants have the suggested tip amounts much too high. Do look at the menu item pricing, as some dishes were $75+. It may have been due to portion size as well as ingredients.

They automatically added a 15% gratuity because our bill was over $50, but the server never mentioned it. The receipt doesn't clearly state that gratuity is included--it just shows a 15% charge with no explanation. We almost tipped twice because we had no idea it had already been added. When we asked, they pointed to a tiny note at the bottom of their faded menu. I have no problem with automatic gratuity, but customers should be told, and the receipt should clearly state that the tip is already included.

I was hoping to track down some chicken vegetable soup and my Airbnb host recommended this restaurant. Apparently, my daughter, who has been staying in Florida for the past two months, has eaten here at Casavana. We started with the Yucca fritas, they reminded me of and tasted similar to mozzarella sticks. I really liked the texture of these, they had a nice crunch and the dipping sauce was flavorful. For our main dishes, I had the chicken noodle soup while my daughter ordered the Churrasco platter. Both were delicious, the soup was hearty and flavorful with nice big chunks of chicken and noodles. The Churrasco was a strip of tender, juicy red meat with black beans, rice, plantains and a side of chimichurri sauce. If I'm ever back in the area, I would absolutely stop in and enjoy another meal.
