My husband and I did a Google search looking for empanadas while we were in Holland, MI. Caribbean Sunrise came up so we decided to give it a try. We walked in to a warm welcome from the owners Gadiel & AnaSue and walked out with a lot of great food and one of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had in a while. I ordered the pernil (pork) plate with arroz con guandules (rice with pigeon peas) and plátanos maduro (sweet plantains). Everything on my plate was cooked perfectly with flavors even better than I had on the island a few years ago. I was given a side of chimichurri for the pork which wasn’t necessary, but was a great compliment to the already juicy, tender and flavorful meat. To drink I had a tasty cafe con leche. My husband loved his Caribbean hash plate and raved about how good it was all the way home. We took empanadas to go so I’ll have to follow up this review once we’ve tried them. The restaurant capacity is 23 people, intimate and it feels like home. Catering is available if you call the restaurant ahead of time. Overall, we are so happy to have stumbled upon Caribbean Sunset. And we look forward to enjoying their authentic Puerto Rican cuisine...

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by both of the owners with big smiles and genuine conversation. Their warmth and hospitality really set the tone for a great experience.
The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of gluten free options available (a big win for us). They were extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable about food restrictions, making great recommendations that we truly appreciated.
The location is also fantastic, close to the beach, with laid-back island vibes, great music, and a fun, inviting atmosphere. You can tell the owners put their heart into this place.
