Taste of the Islands (Sabor de mi Isla)

My wife and I were hankering for something different, so we decided to give Taste of the Islands a go. It was not disappointing. The restaurant is very casual and laid back. Sam who is the owner of the restaurant was very friendly and informative about their menu offers and recommended several dishes for us to try. We opted for a chicken and pernil empanadas. Both were yummy and the dough of the empanadas were crusty and light. Not the usual heavier pastry type, but more of a savory thin crust. My wife ordered the shrimp mofongo and I ordered the steak & shrimp mofongo. Let me tell you - both of these were really tasty. The flavors, the freshness, the presentation, and the portions - all were better than expected. I finished my plate completely and my wife boxed up her leftovers. Did n

Give me a white so we came here instead of going to thrifty‘s and we definitely don’t regret it. The food was amazing. We had mafungo and fried pork chunks. The food came out fast and will be prepared. The owner is very friendly and informative about everything. Definitely will keep you occupied when it comes to conversation. My girl got Coquito and according to her it was amazing. Also, he literally threw in a free hot sauce to take home that his buddy makes called Tropic fire pineapple mango chili hot sauce very amazing. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience! Stopped on our way up to Daytona as we happened across it while looking for tasty places. Service was exceptional and the food was outstanding. Be prepared for plenty of food - portions were perfect. The mofongo was the perfect balance of creamy and crunchy. Would highly recommend!

Fresh, authentic, Latin - mostly Puerto Rican and Dominican food. I’m visiting from Chicago and happened upon this wondrous place on a cold night in January. The Shrimp Creole was made a little spicy at my request - so tasty! My wife’s plantain cubano was made with tender, melt in your mouth pulled pork.

No wait as we were, initially, the only ones there. Owner was very nice, sociable, and was making sure everything was well. The food was amazing; we had the fried pork chunks plate, and steak and shrimp plate. Everything was well seasoned and nothing was dry. The shrimp empanada and coquito was perfecto! The atmosphere made me forget I was in Florida for a moment. We are definitely coming back🤩
