PR Bakery — Restaurant in Florida

Finally, I got around to having time to go as their hours of service aren't the most consumer friendly. I went, and the restaurant is hidden in a plaza small place. It was cozy and had a nice vibe. Usually, you'd see some females working the front but were 2 guys, and although different, they were ok dudes. I ended up buying a few appetizers to go cause seating was not possible cause lunch time. I figured well food must be the bomb? Thank God cause finding great PR food in South Florida has been horrible. Wrong. It was just ok. Alcapurrias have the strangest long shape and are soaked and retain oil, and the meat isn't seasoned it's just like burger meat? There's a difference between pastelillos and empanadas to a PR one is yellow shell and empanandas has white shell, well to present anyway. Here, I ordered shrimp patelillo and crab pastelillo. The shrimp, although had a few shrimp, was just bathed in sazon and the crab was not pastelillo it was an empanada, and crab meat had zero seasoning At the end when I paid for it was like 20 bucks for that with a soda? After purchasing at end 2 pastry and a soda, it ended up almost 30 bucks? No way is it worth what I paid? Anyway, onward to finding hopefully a better place, if not, will have to wait to go back to PRor New York for...

First time here while I was on a business trip in the West Boynton area. I've seen their reviews here on Google, so it was just a matter of time until I paid them a visit.

This is definitely your Puerto Rican style cafeteria / restaurant concept. It is a small restaurant, so you have to be patient, as they are popular and it can get busy!

I had the special of the day, which was "Viandas con Bacalao", which translated to "Boiled Root Vegetables and Cod Stew". I also ordered the octopus empanadas, shrimp empanadas and some bacalaitos.

My order was to go, so I was not able to devour the food while I was there.

Good to the hotel, unpacked everything and went into attack mode. Everything, and I mean everything was good. The viandas plate reminded me of the island and the empanadas were super tasty and stuffed with seafood.

I spoke with the owner for a bit and he said that the business has been open for 10 years....now I know why. You put out a great product, and the people will come.

I'll be in the area in two weeks, and I'm planning to have lunch and dinner at this restaurant. I'm glad I found this small piece of the island...
