The middle aged woman behind the counter is not warm and welcoming. However, the food makes up for it. I noticed that they chop the protein up and you end up getting more bones than meat. So annoying. I once asked specifically for less bones and more meat and the young girl dishing out the food honored it. I would recommend their beef Jamaican patties.

Every dish we tried was full of authentic Caribbean flavor and clearly made with care. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve.

It's a new Puerto Rican bakery in the shopping plaza on the corner of Lithia Pinecrest and Lumsden…read moreRd. It's near the Wooden Spoon Diner. It's family owned and local to Brandon. They sell pastries, desserts, breads, sandwiches, and more. It's great that they are close to home. I absolutely love their guava & cheese quesitos. They are so delicious! I'm not usually a fan of this combination, but I love this particular version. Maybe because the cheese filling is sweeter. They also have strawberry and pineapple turnovers. I've only had the pineapple which I haven't seen in this area. It was great! The guava pastries are also a winner. I'd go back many more times just for these items alone. The mallorca wasn't my favorite. It's good, but it's more of a bread consistency than a sweet roll. The cheese and guava on top was very good. It was just too dense in my opinion. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a Puerto Rican gringa whose parents were born on the island. I'm guessing there are two different versions. The version that I know (and my mother loved) is the softer one that is more like a sweet roll. I've also had better ham & cheese mallorca sandwiches. However, I will try their other sandwiches and fritter appetizers for lunch one day. Other than that, everything else I've tried was wonderful. I love that the turnover and pastries are flaky and full of flavor, unlike some other bakeries. They are perfect! I do want to try the donuts and tornillos. I also want to try the breads. There will definitely be more visits, and very soon.

If I were Jamaican I'd be completely offended after eating bland baked chicken and shredded lettuce disguised as jerk chicken and cabbage! Let's not even mention the so called rice and peas which should've been called "rocks and peas" due to the rice being severely undercooked and hard in texture.
