Jackie's Latin Kitchen — Restaurant in City of Middletown

We were excited to try Jackie's Latin kitchen as it came highly recommended. However, upon arriving, the selection is extremely limited so don't bother looking at the menu provided online. I will specifically not be returning because of the $40 I was charged for 2 SMALL meals full of mostly plantains and beans. We questioned the price and was shown a break down of our 4 items being charged seperately. Not as meals, as she charged everyone else. This was an absolute disappointment from the atmosphere, subpar food and justifying charging a new customer $40 for 2 small plates. And $5 for a bunch of plantains she charged seperate, not as apart of the meal. Seriously? We called back and she continued to justify the charges. So, 25 minutes for expensive, below average food, trust me, don't waste your time or money. You should appreciate your customers more and actually honor the menu you...

I can't believe this restaurant has been around for 2 years and I haven't heard about it. Everything I ordered was delicious. The shrimp mofongo had at least 8 large shrimp and the sauce was phenomenal. A little different than what I am used to eating shrimp mofongo but wow was it good. The sauce was a little creamy which really added to the flavor of the dish. It came with a small side salad which had real greens (not iceberg) and the dressing was excellent. Finally, I got a side order of chicharron (pork) which is sold by weight, and it was also delicious and it had a very slight seasoning which slightly but noticeably added to the flavor. And it was cooked perfectly. The skin was crispy without it being overlooked.

I was looking for a Spanish restaurant in the area but the ones that are around are not the greatest, too expensive or they just don't open up everyday. I was recommended to Jackie's by one of my church's member and I've been going ever since. My family and I love her food especially her mofongo with shrimp. I just had my son's graduation party and I ordered 20lbs. Of pork shoulder (PERNIL) and empanadas and they were delicious. Everyone loved the empanadas but my guests could not stop commenting on the pernil. She has been awesome not only as a business owner; she's treat like a friend. OH! & Her piña coladas are great as well as her fruit juices and her 3s leche is out of this world. Thank you Jackie! and to all those who help you make your service top of the...
