Our family had lunch today and the food, service and atmosphere were great. They have good classy salsa music and the volume was just right. We could talk and listen to each other. Even Willie came by to check on us and we talked for a while. It is a family oriented restaurant that we enjoyed.
Detoured here on my recent trip to Cape Canaveral and it was definitely worth it! I ordered the Carne Frita which is fried pork chunks with onions and peppers, served with mofongo, garlic bread, mayo ketchup sauce, cilantro sauce and lettuce, tomato, onion and cilantro. I really enjoyed this dish. It was so fresh and filling. The pork had a lot of fatty pieces so I ended up spitting out about a third of it. Some people like the fatty parts of the meat however, I do not. It was good but I'd try something different next time. The star of the show on this dish is definitely the mofongo. The freshness and homemade qualities are evident. I could have ate tons more of this! It was garlicy with a nice texture and not dry.
I also tried the Pinchos de Camaron. The 3 pretty good sized shrimp were cooked well and had a great flavor. This too, was served with garlic bread.
The cherry on top was the Piña Colada. It was made to order and just bursting with tropical flavor. It was nice, cold and refreshing. A great way to acclimate to the Florida humidity, just after landing!
Service was great and food came out quickly. I haven't had a lot of Puerto Rican food but this has been my favorite so far. Thank you Willie's, I hope to return one day.

Finally made a visit after bookmarking this spot a year ago. I think my expectations were a tad too high but I am definitely not complaining. Food was very good, just didn't have the flavor explosion I was expecting.
Service was great and the staff were all wearing mask. The tables were spaced out.
Will go back and try the other menu items next time I'm in the area.
