Everything is delicious. Though, I found the prices a little high. I remember when they started behind the gas station on SR 54, and the food was so delicious, and the prices were according to each dish. When I first ate at that little restaurant, it took me back to my abuela's (grandmother's) cooking. That is what made me love this place. As they have successfully grown, it seems like the prepared dishes have become more production based and have lost a little bit of the authentic flavor it used to have. I will continue to frequent the eateries, but I am a little disappointed at the loss of authentic cultural flavor I grew up with.

A Delightful Experience at Rice and Beans
I recently visited Rice and Beans and had an excellent dining experience. The staff was friendly and personable, adding a personal touch to the overall atmosphere. The veggie empanadas were a highlight, showcasing both delicious flavors and a commitment to quality ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who appreciate not only great food but also a warm and welcoming environment.

I recently went into this Restaurant for lunch and ordered a pressed cuban and asked for tostones which they dont serve. Was offered maduras I sat and waited for order; 45 minutes later I was handed the sadest cyban sandwich ive ever seen apparently everything on it means mustard,pickle and curdled cheese. The maduras were burnt and beyond inedible. Needless to say I wont be returning. I should have known better when in the time I was sitting only 2 people showed up.

First time to go order. I ordered the 2 rotisserie chicken family meal, a chicken sandwich, and 2 empanadas. About $75 purchase. Service was great, locating was easy, plenty of parking, seating to eat in was plenty but ... rotisserie chicken was so salty, overseasoned (to the poibt hours later still tasting salty) and dry. Perhaps it was sitting in the warmer too long, and the yuca was also dry and hard in the center (around the stem). As for the rice, it was great! Can't say I would return again, but surely gave it a shot.
