Salt & Pepper Chef

If you haven’t been yet, stop wasting time. Food was awesome and delicious in my pocket. Do yourself that favor and GO

Super tasty food with large portions. Regular spot for lunch these days.

Quick and friendly service. My «masas de puerco» were not as tender and moist as I would have liked but the overall meal was really good, considering their super affordable prices. Will come again!

It was great, i come from Puerto Rico and the mofongo was as good as one in guavate! really good!

Mofongo, Churrasco, rice, salad & soup. All flavorful & delicious! The churrasco was tender & cooked perfectly (medium well). Texture of the mofongo was not 2 my liking.

La comida es tan autentico que estas an la cocina de mi Abuelita.
The food is so authentic that it could be my Grandma’s kitchen. I have tried the mofongo con churrasco and the roasted chicken platter. All very good and will review in more detail later.

It was my wife and I first time eating Colombian food. I had the grilled chicken with monfongo. The monfongo could have been hotter but it was tasty. The grilled chicken was very flavorful. It was pounded thin and was very tender. My wife had a few side dishes since Salt and Pepper Chef does not have any vegetarian dishes. There red beans are excellent. The sweet plantains were very good. The green plantains were on the dry side but dipping them in the red bean sauce spruced them up. They have a side of veggies that had no flavor. There yellow rice was good. We would come back again and try some of the other native dishes.

Absolutely love this place! THEY DELIVER… enough said! It is great authentic food. Roast pork Mmm delish I’ve tried all their types of rice just amazing and you know it’s good soup when the carrots are all cut up uneven omg, The best soup! The empanadas are PR/​cuban style… You know, with bubbly flaky crust SO good! The price is awesome try them trust me you’ll love them!

Great food! And really sweet people. I love ordering from here and they don’t take long to bring you your order.

My workplace has placed large orders (10+ persons) for delivery here several times before; usually on Friday’s. Delivery times are relatively good except for maybe one time where they were very delayed. I know it can be challenging to take orders for several persons via phone but they get it right most of the time as well. The food has a somewhat of a home-​made taste to it but it tends to be a bit on the greasy side (especially the red beans) at times depending on what you order but that’s just the style of the food I suppose. The food ranges from mostly average to close to good but the portions are large and the empanadas are big and tasty, too.

Very tasty and plentiful food. We enjoyed pasta, seafood, ribs, beef and mofongo. The plates designs were very tropical and the dishes were well laid out. The service was prompt and friendly. Overall the price was great and the value for money was there. I will go back.

My boyfriend and I have ordered delivery several times and its always delicious! They are friendly and delivery times are prompt. Consistency is important and they have done that in all aspects from quality of food, customer service and being prompt. I know if i order from here its going to be good! My BF was really impressed with the oxtail, and his family is Jamaican so he knows oxtail. I like the garlic shrimp and the chicken stew! Overall im very happy with this find and i will continue to eat here! Its evident they try very hard to keep their customers happy and for me that goes a long way! Keep up the good work guys!

If you want a lot of bang for your buck this is the place for you. Good portions of meat and THREE sides. This worked
very well for me because I am indecisive and stopped by after a work out.
Staff was very friendly and didn’t laugh to much at us when my boyfriend asked what some of the sides where… they where just the Spanish translations. (He’s French, we’ll forgive him)
Will definitely be back.

This place is amazing and authentic! I have been here multiple times and I cannot get enough of this place! The first time I came here I ordered the grilled salmon. It was a large portion and came with 3 sides for a very reasonable price! My friend ordered the snapper and they brought out the whole fish! Both of our dishes tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. The following times I ordered mofongo with grilled chicken. Again, very big portion for a great price. I absolutely loved the mofongo, although I do think it has a unique taste that not everyone will enjoy.
The place never seems extremely busy and does not have the warmest atmosphere, but the wait staff makes up for it as they are very friendly and attentive!

Was in FL on a business trip and decided to try a new restaurant, so thanks to everyone on Unilocal I found Salt & Pepper Chef, so thank you all. I was so happy to see Mofongo on the menu, I asked the server what she would recommend and went with that. I had the Mofongo with shrimp in garlic sauce. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! It was so good and was so impressed I even had Deseret which I normally would not. Again, went with whatever they recommend which was the tress leches cake and a Cuban coffee. My only complaint is that they are not located where I live. Great Food, Super nice people, just a wonderful experience.
Highly recommend.

This place is so delicious! Authentic Caribbean food… Mangu and Monfongo sold all day! They have great options and prices. They have great kids food (nuggets/​hamburgers) which are inexpensive, so your kids will be very happy. My son watched teen titans on their TV while we ate great food. I have been searching for Puerto Rican/​Dominican food ever since we moved up to Ft lauderdale and I’m so pleased to say we found a great place to have our kind of food, close to home. This place is quaint and comfy. The service was excellent. And to take it to next level, they serve brown rice and wheat pasta for those of us who are health conscious. A great place all around.

I’ve been here a couple of times and on those occasions have found their Latin foods generously served in large portions, properly prepared and about as authentic as it gets. During my last visit I primarily went for their mofongo as I had heard it to be the best monfongo around. In reviewing the menu, I was delighted to see that their mofongo came not only plain or solo, but also in a variety of 9 different accompanying dishes. My waitress recommended either the monfongo with shrimp, garlic enchiladas or with a skirt steak churrasco which ended up being my pick.
When it was served the portion was well presented and huge in size, especially considering it to be priced at a mere $ 15.95. The skirt came perfectly as ordered, rare, with plenty of lime wedges, a chimichurri sauce, salad, a heap of mofongo, and bowl contained some type of broth like dip or pouring over sauce. The skirt was also nicely trimmed, totally flavorful and the monfongo, though at first seeming a little dry, of perfect balance and flavor; some of the best I’ve had.
Salt & Pepper has a pleasant seating, a good list of daily specials and a wait staff that is pleasant, helpful and friendly. Overall it’s become one of my favorites for Latin types of food.

You gotta love family owned restaurants with a homey vibe… Instead of driving all the way to Miami for Latin fare I’ll be coming here now! The food is good and the prices reasonable. The mofongo was very good and hearthy! Cafecito on point! Good job!

We made an impulse decision to come here for lunch on a Friday after our original lunch choice was found to be closed. We arrived around 11:40, and they were very empty, and the staff wasn’t really waiting to welcome us… it was a little awkward when we first walked in. We sat down and things got better. I think we came in very close to their opening time and they were still prepping, not necessarily an excuse, but the waitress warmed up to us quickly.
The menu was a little bit of a mixed bag with some obviously very Americanized items like onion rings and wraps, and caesar salad, and then some more authentic items you would expect in a dominican/​el salvidorian/​puerto rican. cuban restaurant such as mofongo, tostones, and paella. I resisted my urge to order a sandwich (they had a skirt steak sub on the menu) and went with the roasted shredded pork. It came with three sides and I chose rice, beans, and plantains. The meal was delicious! The pork was nicely roasted and was a great mix of moist shredded pieces and crispier pieces as well. The plantains were delicious and the rice had great flavor. The black beans were much thinner than I am used to and were more like a soup with some other veggies mingling in there, but they were great with the rice.
As our meal went on the restaurant got busier, and it is obvious that the quality of the food draws a few regulars. I was very impressed with my meal. For $ 7.99 it was easily two servings and I left stuffed. If you don’t want the awkwardness we experienced when we first walked in maybe don’t come before noon, but I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Based on how well the pork was cooked I would definitely like to try some of the other meats here. The service was a little slow, though the waitress was accommodating and friendly overall, just come with some time on your hands to enjoy a large meal.

After attempting to go to a restaurant for lunch that ended up being closed and moved (should have checked Unilocal!) we Unilocaled near by and ended up at Salt & Pepper Chef.
When we first walked in, the place was dead (to be honest it did get a little bit more busy by the time we were done) and the atmosphere was a little cold and unwelcoming. Frankly, I was sitting there already writing a bad review in my head, but the food changed all that for me. The service seemed a little slow to check on us, but once we ordered our food, it definitely came out quickly!
The menu lists lots of different Spanish items, from Cuban to Mexican to Puerto Rican, and the board also lists some specials. We weren’t offered any explanation of the board (maybe they are cheaper priced lunch specials), so I opted to go with the mofongo with ox tail from the menu.
Garlic bread was brought to the table to start, and then seemingly only minutes later our meals arrived. My oxtail stew and mofongo also came with a salad and a chicken broth soup. Needless to say I brought home leftovers.
Again, the service was slow getting us the check, but they did happily split it, so I’ll give them some extra stars for that.
Despite something lacking in the atmosphere and service departments, the food was solid! Really full of flavor and delicious. I may not choose to eat in here again, but I definitely would consider getting take out!
