Isla Del Encanto - Miami

Definitely a great place to come try our Puertorican flavor. Jose will make sure you get the attention you need, just like home! Delicious food and EXCELLENT service. What else can you ask for? I apologize for only posting dessert, since I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of my food. You won't be disappointed.

Large menu with a ton of authentic puerto rican plates. While we loved the authenticity, there were too many items on the menu that, or the menu wasnt clear enough . I ordered the pastelon pinon and found it to be fantastic. The ground beef was marinated well and the fried plantains were juicy enough to make for a pleasant dish. It came with 2 sides so i got the arroz con gandules and the tostones. Both items were a bit on the drier side. I usually love tostones on their own and needed to use a bunch of mayoketchup salsa rosada/ketchup and mayonnaise-based sauce to spice it up. I recommend the shrimp mofongo appetizer over the crab while both tasty, the flavorful tomato-based sauce was more apparent in the shrimp version . I recommend skipping the mofongo mariscos. It was very pricey and came as a 'sampler platter ' where each protein came in a separate bowl. The protein was great, but the mofongo was not stuffed 'relleno ' like i prefer my mofongo to be. A pretty big let down for the price.

Absolutely delicious! I ordered 'El Navideno ' the lechon (pork) was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, brought me back to Lechon Trail where we visited in Puerto Rico. The 'aroz con gondules ' was only a side, but it was just like me grandmother 's. My husband got 'aroz con langosta y camarones ' rice with lobster and shrimp. The flavors were fantastic and the seafood was tender. Joe, our server was patient with our questions about the menu and incredibly friendly and helpful. This meal turned a rough travel day into a fantastic experience. Do not be intimidated by not knowing Spanish!
