Best WLM Reviews

We had a great meal overall. The alcapurrias was thin but crunchy and tasty. The rice, lechón, pasteles, yuca frita, tostones all tasted just like back home. The complimentary soup was a great change from the bread you would get in another restaurant. I had to get another soup. We will be back with more family members.
As soon as walked in the personal greeted us with such charm .
The alcapurias amazing , sorullitos wow , jugo de tamarindo and acerola of the chart . That was just my starters. Over all even though it’s on the pricey end it’s well worth it.
The sense of being home away from home that’s also priceless.
Parking is out front.
Family oriented place .
Cozy place and casual at the same time.
You can eat alone or in groups.
Definitely can be used for a date night.
Seating is available.
I waited for the restaurant to open in the parking lot to take some food to share with co-workers.
I ordered a $40 order of alcapurias, empanadas and surrullos. I asked if I could take pictures of the restaurant since I was a local guide. The atmosphere is definitely unapologetically Puerto Rico with its decor, right down to the giant pilon.
I received the large tray which was sealed well and super hot.
However, when I got to work it was cut up alcapurias pieces, broken surrullos and a some mini empanadas. To my horror and disappointment the MAJORITY of what was in that large tray was FRENCH FRIES. What I got was a tray of commercial fries.
I hope that IF I go back and IF I order something else it will not a sad excuse for PR cuisine.
No pictures I threw the food out.
Great food. I love the theme. Friendly staff. If you're looking to eat Authentic Puerto Rican food, this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed. They also have an affordable lunch menu. Go and check them out. It's definitely worth it.
Definitely not a good experience, the wait was more than 1 hrs. Entrance soup was cold. Pork and mofongo without flavor and dry. My plates was incomplete, I ask for the rest of the food and at the final when I’m doing the check out I ask again and was when the server decide to tell that’s they don’t have was supposed to be server with my plate. Don’t receive any substitution or minimum a apologies.
This Authentic Puerto Rican cuisine establishment is an explosion of bold and vibrant flavors that will leave your taste buds begging for more. From succulent roast pork to crispy tostones, every dish is infused with a unique blend of spices and seasonings that bring the tropics to your plate.
I had the pleasure of indulging in some amazing food on 6/27/23 for lunch, and let me just say, my taste buds are still singing! I started with some Alcapurrias accompanied with some hot sauce sauce that made it absolutely heavenly. The Alcapurrias was so flavorful.
I had the pleasure of being served by one of the most exceptional waitresses I have encountered in a long time. I am so bad with names, and please forgive me if I get your name wrong but on the receipt it says Yulianet. From the moment she greeted me with a warm smile to the moment I left the restaurant, she exuded a level of professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine kindness that truly set her apart.
Not only was she knowledgeable about the menu, but she also took the time to listen to my specific dietary preferences and offer thoughtful suggestions. Her recommendations were spot-on, and every dish she brought to my table was executed flawlessly.
She gave me some Sopa de Salchichon. WoW, all the flavors of this soup was as if you were coming home and your mom or grandmother was cooking. All the flavors of Puerto Rico was in this bowl of goodness. Each spoonful of this soup was a savory masterpiece, warming the soul and leaving a lingering taste that was both comforting and joyful. It was an experience that reminded me of the simple pleasures in life and the incredible power of a well-crafted dish, and that’s just the soup. Imagine the rest of the other dishes.
What truly stood out was her ability to anticipate my needs even before I had to ask. She checked in on me regularly, striking the perfect balance between being attentive without being overbearing. Beyond her impeccable service, her warmth and friendliness created an atmosphere that made me feel like a valued guest. She took the time to engage in friendly conversation, with myself and with other customers. Yulianet went above and beyond to make my dining experience all the more enjoyable.
For my main course, I opted for the Carne Frita con Arroz con Habichuelas y ensalada, and all of it was love at first bite. The beans were perfectly cooked and combined Calabaza which makes for a flavorful tomato sauce, and a medley of herbs and spices that gave the dish that quintessential Puerto Rican flavor. It was hearty, satisfying, and extremely delicious. To round off my meal, I savored every last bite.
Overall, the meal was a true fusion of bold and sublime flavors that honored the heritage and culture of Puerto Rico. If you're looking for a true culinary experience, look no further than Antojitos Navidenos Restaurant. cuisine. The food is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of its owner, staff, and it's definitely worth a taste.
In conclusion, my waitress's exceptional service combined with her genuine kindness made my dining experience truly remarkable. I left the restaurant feeling not only satisfied with the delicious food but also grateful for encountering such a remarkable and beautiful individual. Thank you so much Antojitos Navidenos staff and thank you so much Yulianet. I am looking forward in trying more dishes and seeing the wonderful staff. Hats off to the chef. I would love to learn some of your skills.
People, go and try it out for yourself and be whisked away to Puerto Rico. Your tummy would thank you.
This is authentic Puerto Rican food and it’s very flavorful. They offer a large menu with so many options to chose from. It is separated into 3 separate dining rooms, so I’ve never been on a wait to get in, however the food is always freshly prepared so you may wait a little on your meal. They offer a delicious soup as somewhat of an appetizer, but I still wouldn’t recommend skipping the appetizers. The only reason I gave less than 5 stars for service and because some of the staff have great difficulty with English. My daughter and husband recommend the passion fruit alcohol beverage in the pouch.
The place is very nice. The food we had to wait very long time. The soup had a good flavor. Put lots of liquid, a few carrots, rice and a few chicken pieces. My husband's plate the meat had parts that were cold and rice and beans were little warm.
