This restaurant serves Puerto Rican cuisine, I'm at a loss for words for how delicious the food is!!! We ordered from the appetizers menu and it did not disappoint. This is a must for your culinary experience when visiting Hollywood Florida. It's an explosion of gastronomic flavors, We had the bacalaitos, Carne frita, mofongo de yuca, arroz con gandules. So yummy. We ordered the tropical juices and had their tres Leche cake...oh my goodness delish...we will definitely be back!!!!

I moved to Key Largo, Florida in May of 2024, my son came to visit from Texas and got a recommendation to go to this restaurant, so he took us there. Let me tell you something, I was spiritually transported to my beautiful island, the food touched my soul, they have the best morcilla I’ve had outside of Puerto Rico and the service is great. Our server Marta was kind, friendly and efficient. I look forward to visiting again and again and again. It truly felt like home

Went there today, the food was amazing, the service was amazing and the location was amazing too. Did not go to that area to eat, went to that area to try the ice cream at Morelia Gourmet Paletas, which was also absolutely amazing to. El Bayu De Wela Sara gets a 5 plus star from me. Looking forward to go back with the family for some live music next time. Wepa Wepa Wepa

We were lucky to have Melissa as our server during our visit to this charming little gem. Though the space is cozy, every corner is packed with incredible flavor! We stumbled upon it while staying nearby, and it quickly became a highlight of our trip. The service was friendly and attentive, but the real star was the food. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but bursting with fresh, bold flavors that truly impressed. A heartfelt shout out to the chef for creating such an unforgettable dining experience. Without a doubt, we highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area!
