We were so excited to see this place open. After living in Miami for 40 years, it has been hard to find good Latin food anywhere in Jacksonville. We ordered, to-go, a Palomilla steak and ropa vieja, two of our favorite dishes of all time. The steak came with congri (black beans and white ruce mixed together) and 2 tostones. My daughter was happy with that and flavors were good. The tostones could have been salted better but overall, not bad. The ropa vieja flavor was disappointing, as well as the portion. I can go to Publix and pay less for more and tastier ropa vieja. I would like to go back but is too expensive for what they offer. $15 for literally a woman's handful of ropa vieja and white rice with black beans, and $16 for Palomilla with congri. La Carreta and Latin America in Miami aren't even that expensive AND they provide larger portions! I really hoped this place was going to be great. Maybe since they are brand new, they will modify some things with feedback and we can try again.
