    So that is what mofongo is...five stars. So good I was still tasting it hours later, in a good way. After getting a congrats retweet on my recent half marathon finish (go me, go me) I decided that the mixture of protein (pork), carbs (mashed plantains) and salt (pork and mashed plantains) was just what my trainer would have ordered for his post marathon meal. Being a NOLA girl, I know a thing or two about creole sauces. This one was so rich and layered with flavors, I was truly impressed. Although it was my first time eating mofongo it was the best mofongo I ever had! On a previous visit I had the hummus and cucumber salad sandwich. Also yummy. I sat outside with my legs elevated and enjoyed my victory lap around that plate.

    Very disapointing! The mofongo with shrimp and the mofongo with seafood we ordered had very little to do with the mofongos prepared and eaten by Puerto Ricans; the sauces were over powering and the seafood was overcooked! Will not go back to this place!

    I have eaten at Jimmey'z several time and never been disappointed in quality or price. The decor is bright but minimalist with huge windows all around. yesterday for launch we had the grilled salmon and hummus appetizer - both were tremendous portions and the total bill was around $30. Rather than go into long detail, let me just say this place rocks and every time I've been there it's excellent. Highly recommend for a simple dinner with friends, lunch or just quick meal. Not extremely romantic but fun place.

    They deliver so fast! :-) We are very happy to have them in our neighborhood. Jimmyz is affordable and quite tasty! The Good: (That we have tasted so far) Mofongo (Any kind) Churrasco Chicken Portobello The "eh": Tomato Mozarella Salad Arugula Salad I still have a lot to taste, so as you can see, we will be back. :-) It's actually nice to have a Latin place so close bye.

    Wow, this place is amazing. I absolutely loved it. Very casual, yet super cute and trendy place. You order your food at the counter, pick your bottle of wine, and they serve you your first glass while you're paying, loved it! Lets just start by the fact that they have a "Mofongo Menu" which is overwhelming becuase everything sounds delicious. When the food came out, it exceeded all expectations, we had the mofongo (original), and the seared tuna, it was one of the best ive ever tasted, i am soooo excited to bring everyone i know to this place, it gets an A+ in my book.

    One word to describe the food...... YUM! The food is good. You must have the cheese balls and the mofongo. Cheesecake was also delicious with a cappuccino. They know what they're doing in that kitchen. They also have sandwiches. Haven't had one yet. Need to go back for my Jimmy fix. Hopefully soon. *Good place if you have little ones. When you sit outside.

    Since the first review was just for takeout, let's call this the unofficial first review including the service and ambience ;) For starters, JimmyZ Kitchen - Wynwood features a solid variety of different foods and beers without being overwhelming. There are Panini, Entrees, Desserts and daily specials. According to Jimmy, they're looking to have a daily ceviche special, while today's board featured appetizing items like the Baseball Cut Top Sirloin Steak with wine demi-glaze and a Meat Charcuterie. I ordered the Portobello Chicken entree with potatoes for dinner along with a beer and for dessert Jimmy graciously asked us to try his mother's family recipe for Guava Cheesecake. The Chicken dish was wonderfully cooked and flavored with a mass of sliced porto mushrooms and arugula, on top of a pan fried chicken breast. The potatoes were baked and nicely seared on one side, served under the chicken to best soak up all of the juices from the combination. This was probably the lowest priced entree on the menu, and I can tell it will be a staple for any regular of this establishment! The beer selection is reasonably priced, and ranges from Pabst Blue Ribbon ($3) to Chimay ($6.50) with selections like Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter (which I had on this visit) falling into the $5 category where most of the selections lie. If you're into micro-brews, this is an excellent development since some of these bottles cost north of $3 in a retail establishment. I'm not a big cheesecake person, but I really enjoyed JimmyZ mom's version. Most bakers try to over-sweeten the cheesecake, or make the texture so beyond rich that it just turns me off. The Guava Cheesecake was light and fluffy, with a guava topping that is sweet, but not overwhelming. Service at JimmyZ is what I'd call quick-serve table service, where you order at the counter, get your drinks, and the food is brought to the table by the numbers. It was only the 2nd night open, so there weren't large crowds just yet, so it remains to be seen how their service performs under pressure... but everyone was quite friendly and the food arrived promptly. I am overall not a fan of this service arrangement, but for those of you allergic to tipping it works (this is about 15% of the dining public or 90% of Canadians). I can't say enough about the outstanding design of the interior space of the restaurant. The building, and space, features a loft design and JimmyZs takes advantage of it keeping the high ceilings semi-exposed and using bright colors to accent the polished concrete floors. The sound proofing is provided by mustard orange faux Italian Couches (ok, I had a couch that looked just like the sound dampers, they're pretty neat). Also, JimmyZ offers free wifi to customers. Overall, the food was outstanding and I don't think you can beat the price for a fresh cooked meal at what promises to be another hot spot in the Wynwood Arts District. See you there!

    I've been here twice now. The first time I came with my boyfriend, who wanted to try it out for lunch and I had a salad (silly me!) and it was a great salad. A lot of food, good chicken, he liked his sandwich. Loved the location, loved the place (very casual, not pretentious) and it was easy to find parking. What more could you want? I signed up for their rewards club and I got a text message confirming my membership. Great, no problem. The second time I went with the boyfriend and another friend, and I finally tried the famous mofongo and............... OMG.......... it was so good. I agree the prices are a tad high, but for the quality of the food, I would say it's worth it. Save your pennies and then splurge. The service is good, you order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. Lots of wine and beer pick from. I haven't had any of the desserts, but they didn't look like they would wow me.

  • mauricio o.

    Good food from what i saw, decent selection of beer and wine. plastic cups just upset me.... especially when the beer is the same price as everywhere else that would provide you with a cold glass. food was good and the people at the counter were amiable. the whole number system is not my favorite way to distribute food.. there was an element of chaos on the saturday night i was there. other than that.. nothing worth noting.. i wouldn't suggest going ... yet i also wouldn't object to going back .. neutral is my standpoint.

  • Tricia M.

    One of my very favorite restaurants! We have eaten here over 20 times. Sign up for the rewards program. It is super worth it. Every few meals, I get a text that gives me 20% off my next meal. I always order the same thing - the Seared Ahi Special. It is so insanely delicious. The tuna it good quality, I could drink the sauce it's so good, and the avocado/tomato salad is delicious and refreshing. I also love their selection of craft beers. The ambiance of Jimmy'z is chill but nice. The staff is always friendly. The chef brought us out some complimentary fritters one evening where we brought friends for dinner and it knocked everyone's socks off.

    Had lunch here with some friends for the third time after Unity on the Bay. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is outstanding. The Mahi-Mahi was perfect as was the black beans and Jasmine Rice.

    delicious salads, very nice staff, cute atmosphere. We got soup and salads and everything was very fresh and huge portions. We will be back again.

  • Stephanie L.

    Wow! This place is SO GOOD. I've only been to this one for lunch (I've been to the SOBE one for lunch and dinner) and it's been unbelievable each time! The first time I got the turkey sandwich and it was the perfect combination of ingredients! Not too heavy.. just perfect. I shared a pina colada cheese cake and it was not my favorite thing... but my other friend got an apple cheese cake and it blew my mind! Then I went again and had the jerked chicken salad... it was the freshest salad I've ever had! The ingredients went together PERFECTLY and a little bit of the dressing went a LONG way. I'll be back to this place for dinner soon!

    Great food, friendly service! First time here, ordered the chicken mofongo in creole sauce. chicken was cooked perfect and the creole sauce was delicious.

    Better than I expected. Friendly and casual, but stylish - the kind of place in abundance in Greenwich Village but not too common in Miami. Bravo!

  • Carlos V.

    I finally got the opportunity to check out this place after hearing so much about it, all great reviews. The place is large, has outdoor seating and plenty of parking all around the area. As mentioned by others, you walk up to the counter, order your food, pay, take a number, find a seat, and wait for your food to br brought to you. We ordered the mofongo with the churasco and since it was happy hour, we had a round of Blue Moon beer. The food, true to it's reputation was great. Freshly made, well cooked, very nice presentation. The menu is vast, from sandwiches, to salads, to soups, but we were there for one thing and one thing only; Mofongo. Definitely a place a would visit over and over again.

    First time here and already one of my new favorites in Miami. This place has everything I'm looking for in a restaurant... big portions, friendly service, good atmosphere, and best of all great prices. The jerk chicken salad and the pulled pork are amazing. Highly recommmended.

    The steak was ok. The fish was kinda dry and vegetables waaay too salty. And espresso.... That was really the worst espresso I've ever had in my life!

    I'm obsessed with the Country Beef Stew! It's so delicious. I've also had the Shrimp Mofongo, and was extremely pleased. Great location, great menu and great people offering great service...plain & simple!

  • Jennifer K.

    We ordered the pork mofongo to share as a group and it was soooo good. All the ingredients in my Jimmyz chopped salad were fresh and crisp and the candied walnuts were little crunchy pieces of heaven that matched the bleu cheese wonderfully. The staff was so nice from start to finish, from helping my friend pick out a beer to double checking if we liked our first mofongo ever. This place is clean and festive and there are so many good things on the menu that I must come back. Any place that has high quality health conscious options gets an A in my book. ^_^

  • R W.

    One word... WOW!!! The food at jimmyz was amazing! I ordered the crab cake appetizer to start and had to follow with the churrasco and shrimp mofongo. Had been craving really good mofongo since my visit to Luquillo PR last year and no place seemed to come even close. Flavorful food was beyond what I expected, great staff, and the feedback posted here is the Truth!! Don't miss out on giving this place a try.

  • Patsy K.

    This place I found out from Yelp! is a puertorrican resturant. I am from PR (just been here for 2 years) therefore I was craving some mofongo like a pregnant lady (no, I am not pregnant). SO I went there with my boyfriend to try this amazing puertorrican food. OK, this is my thing: the place is beautiful & the location is super good because I live two blocks away. The service was good because we quickly said we are from PR. I kinda didnt like that they made NO changes to the plates...NO changes! so we ordered and when i say the price i almost had a heart attack. back home if we ordered the plates we orderes it would have been $10-$15 less. I was anxiously waiting for the food to see the big deal. I was excited because i ordered bistec with arroz habichuelas y mofongo. one of my favorite comfort foods from back home. when it got there it look beautiful but fancy. I thought this is what we call a "fonda" but it was a bit fancier, i guess for the price i got my money's worth in apperance. the food was tasty but i still in the hunt for the perfect puertorican fonda here in Miami....with fonda price as well.

  • Mimi S.

    Awesome food and great staff. We ordered the fried queso balls and shrimp mofongo, based on Yelp reviews, and tried out the burger. The cheese bites were so tasty and we ordered some guava sauce on the side because it was even better to dip them. The shrimp mofongo was great, filling, and the sauce was comparable to a family-cooked shrimp enchilado. It was a huge amount of dry plantains in the middle and we felt like something was missing, perhaps to have them stuffed with meat/seafood as well. My husband had a satisfying burger which came with potato discs flattened as tostones would be. We shared a slice of the guava cheesecake and it was amazing! The staff were very helpful with any questions that came up and friendly. Great foodie find.

    Excellent addition to Wynwood. I've been a fan since they were on South Beach but the new location is even better. Great food.

  • Adrian P.

    Love this place, great food and friendly helpful staff. It seems to get crazy packed on the weekend nights but during the day for a lunch or early dinner its awesome. We have had the chicken with mushrooms and potatoes, A++ and the beef stew A++ great beer selection to go with it all, and they have such a large menu its hard to choose, TRY IT

    (5)

  • Joy C.

    The chicken mofongo was so-so. I'm not used to eating mofongo with a tomato based sauce rather than with a broth based sauce. It was too salty. Next time I'll try something other than the mofongo.

  • Krissy L.

    I ate here on Art Walk night with a couple girlfriends and never made it to art walk, ha! The food was divine. The chef came out and asked us how everything was. Cute DJ spinning upbeat tunes outside! (outside was a little loud so we ate inside). Slightly pricey but, the food and atmosphere and friendly staff was worth it!

  • LaTanya C.

    Myself, my husband an our friends came here on a Friday night for dinner, specifically for Mofongo and Mofongo we got! We all tried a different variety of their classic dish, and it was delish! A definite must if you're visiting here. My one not-so-positive comment is about the service. We ordered our food at the counter, and woman behind the counter was EATING while taking our order. Not snacking, but EATING. She had an entire plate of food. While I know they've got to eat too, it definitely doesn't have to be at the front counter as you're taking food orders. She was friendly enough, but it was definitely off-putting. Secondly, service at the table was pretty much nonexistent. I ordered hot tea with my meal, and had to go back to the counter to get hot water, and any water for that matter. It's not a huge deal, it's more of an observation than a complaint. I definitely recommend this place, and will definitely be eating here again.

  • Michelle S.

    Okay, so I've had better mofongo...in PR! But it was pretty darn close in flavor to the best I've ever had. So the price may be a bit inflated, but definitely cheaper than a flight to PR! My favorite thing about Jimmy'z is that the focus is on quality and not one of the usual 'image over substance' locations you come across much too often. I went back and had creole chicken with red beans. The beans were scarce (mainly the sauce) but the taste was delicious! My FI kept trying to take some. Overall, a solid establishment with satisfying meals and decent portions. Love the rewards and the beer selection (they have chimay blue!!)

  • Billy L.

    Pretty good food and beer selection. I had the steak molongo which was pretty tasty but never having authentic Cuban food I can't really speak to the authenticity of the dish. Coming from a beer city this is the first place I have seen in Miami that has great selection on beer and I greatly appreciated it since it has been forever since I've had a duvel in a restaurant

    (4)

  • Nicol S.

    I really like this place, great salads, an awesome burger and plenty of options for anyone (well I'd have to check for vegans). It is an order at the counter place that brings food to the table, which I love because it means their prices are fair without wait staff overhead. The ambiance is great and the covered outdoor seating is nice when it isn't too windy.

  • Rei R.

    Awesome! very tasty and unique/interesting palette and great service, nice live music.

  • Erin A.

    If I could give a ZERO I would but clearly thats not an option. This place was great until I got home to a dead fly in my salad! Was very disgusting!! This now has made me almost never want to order a salad from anywhere. I called them immediately and told them and they actually had the nerve to ask me if I would like a new one. No way will I ever eat from this place. It came as such a shock because this place comes of pretty nice. Guess we never see what really goes on in the kitchen!

    (1)

  • Ryan J.

    I'll keep coming back to Jimmy'z, but they need to keep an eye on quality control. I ordered the pork mofongo on my first visit. Perfection. Tender pork, drowning in delicious garlicy mojo. On my second visit, I ordered the same dish. This time around, it seems as though they used a different mojo... and used it sparingly. The garlic was hard to detect, but a strong citrus taste was there. I have to say, I wasn't a fan of whatever mojo they used the second time around. The pork was also much drier. I'm giving 4 stars because I know this place can knock it out of the park, but there might be a lack of consistency. Hopefully this was just a rare off-night.

  • Pepe P.

    Good P.R food. Not so good at attempting to make cuban food thoe. The cuban sandwich is not cuban.Keep it P.R. Fast service n good food. Just not good cuban.

  • Teresa B.

    The Mofongo of course is the best I have tried in a long time which is to die for but beyond that there is such a diverse menu that it is amazing the quality of all their dishes. My husband and I go at least once a week. He usually orders the Mofongo with Shrimp, consistently delicious, I, on the other hand have ordered from their salad menu to their special nightly dishes and everything is very well prepared, wonderfully seasoned and extremely fresh (last night's special of blackened mahi with avocado salad and rice was YUMMMM). Beer and wine selections are great, service is very attentive and the space is very comfortable and pleasant. Jimmy's Kitchen is a much needed addition to our restaurant scene. Affordable, excellent variety and quality of food in a very welcoming environment.

  • Karl K.

    Stellar food. Not that expensive, excellent service. Everyone who ate with us, most of whom were not used to latin american food, loved it. The only thing I'd like a lot more is if they had plastic cups and an ice machine and limes for water -- I tend to drink a lot of water with meals.

    I am a Mexican from So Cal and I have so say, PR and Cuban food usually tastes a little boring to me. But, Jimmy's change my opinion. EVERYTHING was yummy. I will be sure to be back there. The MOFONGO was the best! A must try!

    Went for both lunch and dinner on the same day because the food is THAT good and fresh! Such a great selection, huge portion sizes, and incredible taste. I want to go to Wynwood now for so much more than just Art Walk!

  • Jeremy E.

    I give it two stars because although the food was good (blueberry cheesecake especially), I will never return because the service was horrendous... not "messing up our order" horrendous, but just downright unfriendly and they made us feel like we were putting them out. 3 friends and I went to Jimmy'z on a very slow day (Saturday afternoon) and there were about 6 other patrons inside. Because I wasn't sure where to park (the neighborhood isn't the best), I called from my car to ask, and got major attitude from the woman on the phone. After parking on the first floor, we entered and I met the woman to whom I had just spoke. "Maybe it was just phone-awkwardness," I thought, but no, she was just as rude when I was ordering as she was on the phone. She couldn't have been more unhappy to take my order, or look me in the eye. Nevermind that she neglected to give me silverware OR my drink after she took my money. The food took inordinately long to come out, more than 20 minutes, and as I've mentioned, there were not that many people there. I would like to go back because the food was all right, but after being treated like that, I refuse to support this business.

  • Shane S.

    Went with the family for dinner and dancing, and one of my best times in Florida yet. The Puerto-rican niece-in-law loved the food, as did the Cuban sister-in-law. Whatever I had was really good, and the choice of micro-brewery beers was nice. Great dancing out-front with the sexy Melina.

  • C R.

    OK, so my offices are right around the corner from this spot BUT I never stopped in until about 2 weeks ago. I was elated to find such a great place hidden on Miami Ave. It's sets a very high standard for quality and freshness. Since my first day there for lunch, I have returned every single day. Really. The salads are great, the tuna tartar is awesome, the cuban sandwich is to die for. What a great range of selection, both latin and american selections, you have to check it out if you are in the area. It smacks up everything in Midtown (where I used to go for lunch everyday)... Thanks Jimmy!!

  • Joseph C.

    Jimmy'z Kitchen in Wynwood is one of the best causal dining spots in Miami if your looking for some good Latin inspired food. The restaurant itself has indoor and outdoor seating which is nice and provides a very "cool" and relaxed atmosphere. So far I've had the shrimp mofongo, bolitas de queso, tostones, camarones enchilados, and the flan de coco. My favorite by far is the shrimp mofongo. It is a very generous portion with lots of mofongo, tons of shrimp (they even put some inside the mound of mofongo), topped with a delicious enchilado sauce. The only thing that would make it perfect is if they took the tails off of the shrimp for you. Now, I know everyone loves the cheesecake, but you have to give the coconut flan a try. The flan is delicious and has the coconut cooked into the bottom. It's the perfect way to end your meal after eating all of that savory food. Jimmy'z gets a major thumbs up from me. I haven't eaten there nearly enough.

  • John T.

    Hands-down, the best Mofongo in South Florida. Been living in Miami for 20 years, have tried all the Puerto Rican restaurants, but Jimmy'z has the recipe that beats them all. Savory and unique. A must try!

  • Lee W.

    Fantastic food and great service!!! Everything from the decor to the prompt service was awesome at Jimmyz kitchen. It is so worth going out of the way to go to Wynwood just for the food! Try the Cjeese balls they are to die for!!

  • Jonathan M.

    Went for the first time last week after reading great reviews. Amazing pork mofongo, doesn't get much better than that. The only reason it didn't get the five stars is because I only know one other place with better mofongo than here. Nice restaurant situated in the middle of Wynwood. Great place...I definitely recommend!

    It's Sunday morning and wake up starving. A friend who resides in Miami texts me from Tampa that she is having the best mofongo in Tampa worth driving to Tampa for. I said to her.. there is no way I'm driving 4 hrs to Tampa when Miami has the biggest influx of "Latinos". NOW I'm challenged to find the best MOFONGO locally , as I usually do I YELP.."Best Mofongo in Miami... and the first place that pops up is Jimmy Z Kitchen.. after reading a dozen reviews I was convinced this is the place. We arrived at the Miami Art District location which was recently opened. There were only two other groups eating as they had just opened for lunch. The place is Modern, trendy casual and super duper clean., and the ambiance is cool, they had spanish rock playing (Mana and the likes)..They don't have a bar but do have wines and champagne. Daily menus are written on a blackboards on the wall.. They have a Full Mofongo Menu people!!!,,, Churrasco mofongo, Shrimp Creole Mofongo, Chicken creole, mixed seafood , fish mofongo and of course the original "Puerco Mojo Mofongo" We ordered the original and the steak encebollado for entrees and..for appetizer we ordered the bolitas de quezo con guava sauce.. that was scrumptious. BUT.. let's talk about the MOFONGO SHALL WE... OMFG!!!! SOOOO freaking goood... It is served over a bed of lean juicy pork meat with mojo sauce ,but let's describe the mofongo it self, is thick tostones mashed to resemble our very own cuban fufu..Utterly amazing.!!! We paired our very rustic latin meal with a bottle of champagne.. I had no idea that champagne went so well with mofongo..but come to think of it CHAMPAGNE goes with everything awww! DESSERT Home made Guava cheese cake topped with guava marmalade...YUMMY!!!! We are coming back to try the rest of the MOFONGO MENU soon...along with my crazy friend who challenged me .

    My bf and I stopped at this spot last night.. They have a good beer selection for him (he loves Chimay).. We both agreed that the pork mofongo was DELICIOUS!! and so was the steak sandwich.. We'll definitely be back to try the seafood and churrasco mofongo.. We didn't try any of the desserts but they did look tasty!! Thumbs up Jimmy'z!! Thanks for bringing some diverse food into the neighborhood!! =)

    I saw Guy Fieri had a culinary orgasm when eating at Benny's in Miami. I'm not from Miami. A little research and I found that Jimmy'z seemed to be an overwhelming favorite for mofongo in Miami, particular from Cubans and Puerto Ricans. I went with the seafood mofongo. Absolutely superb. What was a heaping mound of deliciousness was devoured within minutes. I happily anticipated the heartburn. I was in Old San Juan recently. It really is as good. Would be back in a heartbeat.

  • Bruce B.

    The food is very interesting and flavorful. We had the seared Tuna and the Roasted vegetable panini. Both were good the Tuna came with a Mango, Avocado and Beef steak tomatoes relish and a soy wasabi vinaigrette - Excellent! the panini had a touch of curry and goat cheese also very good. Defiantly will go back. The area around is also very nice with all the art galleries.

    First of all thank you Jimmy for opening up in Wynwood. I went there last night food is the best you can find anywhere in Miami. Im also happy that this place is 3 times bigger then the one on the beach and is very nice

  • Andre C.

    First time at the place. Ordered a churrasco mofongo, it came as a plain churrasco order, well bad for the service. I was hungry and not on a complain mood. The churrasco itself was ordered medium, it came well done. My girlfriend chicken portobello was ok but came a little colder than it should.. In any case the tomato avocado salad saved the food. All that with a fat tire beer cost $51, expensive for what it presented... Sorry to say but the place does not worth the stars that it has, and I won't return..

    This has been my favorite in recent years site and whenever I see a Boricua I recommend it, but this time (06/28/15) was not a good experience or with the service or the food, first the cashier did not understand was asking for it, he brought me the order with something that you had said on several occasions that it is not wrong and as I imagime mistake the other thing is that I can't believe that the order would bring a steak to medium as 4 inches and I did it knowing the cashier who brought me the order and I contest that was mistake it of the error on the plate but with the of the churrsco was the Cook and she did not do the gesture of going where him. It from my wife was good but much more smaller than the usual for one pay $17.95 for a mofongo with churrasco. I hope to go back and check if it was just this time, but at least I not come back it is to recommend to anyone. Este ha sido mi sitio favorite en los ultimos anos y siempre que veo un Boricua se lo recomiendo, pero esta vez (06/28/15) no fue una Buena experiencia ni con el servicio ni la comida, primero la cajera no sabia ni entendia lo estaba pidiendo, me trajo la orden con algo que le habia dicho en varias ocasiones para que no se equivocara y como me imagime se equivoco, la otra cosa es que no puedo creer que la orden trajera un churrasco que media como 4 pulgadas y se lo hice saber a la cajera que me trajo la orden y me contest que fue error de ella lo del error en el plato pero con lo del churrsco era el cocinero y ella no hizo el gesto de ir donde el. El de mi esposa estuvo bien pero mucho mas pequeno que lo de costumbre para uno pagar $17.95 por un mofongo con churrasco. Espero volver y verificar si solo fue esta vez, pero por lo menos yo no se lo vuelvo a recomendar a nadie. Jose Martell

    I ordered a blackened chicken panini in and a snapple. I've never ordered delivery from this place so the least they could've done was let me know there was a $3 delivery charge even though I'm very close by and could've picked it up. When the delivery guy showed up, he arrived without my snapple and was told I had to call so someone can come back. I found this pretty unprofessional and being my first time ordering delivery I probably won't order delivery again and just pick up when I happen to be in the area. The panini was good.

    Today has been a long day so I wanted something fast and quick which was exactly what I got! I have been here before and it always good! Today I had tried the hummus and it was really good. I'm not really coherent right now but jimmy hits the spot.

    My boyfriend absolutely loves this place. The first time I visited I had the mofongo and it was delicious. The second time I visited I had a sandwich, which is not really the best bang for your buck. I had the blackened chicken sandwich and I wasn't really blown away. It's pretty overpriced for what it is and it doesn't even bring a side. The cookies are huge and delicious. My favorite is the coconut chocolate chip.

    Wynwood has become one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Miami! If you're anything like me, the thought of paying $20 for parking (valet and/or DIY) is NOT the way you want to start an outing for lunch or dinner. Sorry Miami Beach, but you don't even my brainwaves when contemplating trying out a new spot to indulge my foodie fantasies. With its artsy vibe, colourful murals, plentiful street parking and smiley people, Wynwood is where it's at for this chick! I'd heard great things about Jimmy'z, but just hadn't quite had the chance to drop in. Post-Ramadan, this was EXACTLY the kind of delish my body craved! I opted for the Jerk Chicken Breast salad and it was bang bangin'! Loved how fresh everything was, from the scrumptious sliced mangos to the perfectly plum avocados, sliced almonds added a tasty crunch & texture to the perfectly grilled chicken breast, and the "sherry" on top (sherry vinaigrette) was so yummy! Lots of healthy food options to choose from, friendly service & ultra reasonable prices make this a place I'll most definitely be coming back to

    Great sandwiches & paninis at great prices. Love that you can have a beer even though it's a sandwich shop.

    I was very impressed with the food here! Would definitely come again, good prices and fresh ingredients. Had the blackened chicken panini, so so good. The carrot ginger soup however tasted like sweet potato puree without ginger, wouldn't order that one again. Would honestly come again just for that panini!

  • Dani B.

    Food was really good. We had the steak and one of the chicken pesto panninis. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because there were some items that were not in the menu and I wish I tried them. We asked for recommendation but the cashier ladies did not offer much. My phone was out of battery and could not check yelp before ordering. I guess I missed out. Might have to come back soon and try the featured items.

  • Geoff And Jenni G.

    Absolutely loved Jimmy'z - the kale and quinoa salad we ordered was amazing and the hummus sandwich was to die for.... Lots of veggie and healthy options... nothing bad to say about Jimmy'z - it rocks! Would absolutely not hesitate to recommend and will definitely be back! :-)

  • Josh B.

    The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I used to swear by them being a regular and a local, but in the last few weeks, they have gone under. This was the third time I've ordered a soup from them and no spoon. Last time, they forgot the soup altogether. They are friendly but service quality is going under. Be warned.

    I was on a recent impromptu trip to Miami. Normally, I would scope out, plan and read up on latest trends in the Miami Dining scene. Since time wasn't on my side, I elected to let the front desk staff at Element Miami International Airport Hotel guide me. After what everyone in Orlando seems to think of as the best Latin food in Orlando at Melao Bakery, I had to remind myself what Miami had to offer. Normally, I would go to one of my old haunts in Little Havana or Hialeah. What, you don't think the best food is in ghetto Hialeah? Think again. Ole grandmas cranking out food handed down from generations through metal barred windows. Ah the feeling of carefree youth and hunger. I perked up when the front desk agents agreed that Jimmy'z Kitchen, with three locations in Miami, was serving the best mofongo these days. Their Wynwood location is that regenerating Mid Town Miami area. It seems like every time I go down there, another dilapidated block gets reclaimed for urban use. If you are familiar with the City of Miami, there are several pockets in desperate need of redevelopment. These days it seems like big development is gobbling up land and planting condominium high rises. The really good thing about this redevelopment, smaller businesses are allowed to thrive and given new strength. Jimmy'z Kitchen Wynwood sits at the foot of a high rise condominium development in the Wynwood District. The interior is housed at one corner of the building which allows for large sidewalk seating. The restaurant is very casual, but we are talking Miami casual here. Ripped jeans, T Shirts, short skirts, skater shorts, body suits, are taken to a whole different level. The vibe is neighborly chill. Open concept leads to natural woods, metals and plastics. The urban industrial chic décor allows for counter service with full menu, beer and wine. Although, I always pause when there is so much emphasis on craft beer and bottles of wine and then there are two choices of red and white wine by the glass. You guessed it, this is a red. Tasted like a Pinot Noir on the verge of turning. Oh well, I should have known better. But it was palatable. Blackened Swordfish - A little on the done side, but well seasoned. The fish itself was a hefty cut that more than compensated for it's doneness. Vegetables were a bit soggy. Jasmine rice was over salted. Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce Mofongo - Churrasco was overdone and on the chewy side. Flavor was good, but texture was a mouthful. Mofongo was a good composure with elements of fattiness and firmness, but could use a little more flavor. Maybe that's where the Criollo sauce comes in, however, the sauce was bland. Flan - was too eggy. Guava Cheesecake - This stole the show. Very well balanced with pronounced flavors. It appears from our selection of food that things did not go as expected. Well, there wasn't any big disappointment. but no wow factor either. However, really cool hang out spot.

    Excellent! I am glad I had a chance to discover it via a Groupon, as I probably would not have otherwise. This is a casual eatery - you walk up to the counter and order your food. From there you get a number and the food gets delivered to your table. The place and environment was comfortable. The food excellent and the prices more then reasonable. The lady that took our food order was super nice and sweet, plus the rest of the staff seemed to be very friendly. Definitely will return - even without a Groupon :-)

    I've come to this place several times! But tonight will be the last !! I order the Beef Stew ! It was so ridiculously small , I was still hungry and for 10.99 a small portion with a load of rice!! Really bad, I watched the manager argue with a nice gentleman that apologized for the inadequate portion ! He sends her over and she offers me bread! Or some small appetizer or a dessert! I told her I would like a small amount more , she declined the offer !! Very POOR!! Decision ! Jimmies I won't be back you lost a customer! I'll eat else where!! And poor management !! I spoke Yamira , she was not very worried or seem to care !! Very poor !! You lost three regular customers!

    Tried Jimmyz for the first time today. Food was delicious and well presented. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. The seating area is very casual, music was not loud. I ordered the Portobella Chicken and and it was Devine! Will definitely be visiting Jimmyz Kitchen again soon.

  • John K.

    This place is fantastic! I stumbled in during Art Bazel last year and had the Mofongo...off the freaking charts! Very casual and super chill. Right price and cold beer to boot! Ill so be back to this place my next trip to one of my fav cities.

  • Jeniffer L.

    Love their food! Omg the mofongo Gives you life! Highly recommended. The only thing I would say is a tiny issue is the parking. I've always hated street parking but the staff is great and so is the service. And the prices are great for the quality and amount of food you get.

  • L G.

    I was totally disappointed. Fast food setup, high-end restaurant prices. Food was not tasty. The Churrasco Mofongo was not tasty. The steak was half the portion than that pictured on their website, but the price was full size, for sure. Not impressed at all. Will not recommend to anyone... ever.

    Churrasco mofongo was below average. Salad was average. cottage fries were really good. Sucks that the side item was the best item. Should really be 2.5 stars.

  • Lidia N.

    I love this place for a casual lunch or dinner. Everything I've ever ordered here is delicious. The mofongo is awesome (I don't recommend this if you have to go back to work after), the cookies and flan are amazing, the aranitas are addicting, and I also love the beef stew. Everything just has so much flavor and it seems as though they take pride in their food, the way it should be. I think everything here is homemade or atleast it tastes like it. And they have a variety of options, like salads, sandwiches, soups. They also have a great selection of wines and beers too. And the price is definitely fair. The people there are friendly and they serve you quickly. We love it so much, we even had them cater one of our parties. For pick up and delivery, it's just as fast and delicious.

  • Angel R.

    Really great music from the likes of Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, and Mary J. My gf and I loved Jimmys' kitchen. I'm really impressed by the quality of the food, as I was under the impression this was going to be slightly like a "food fast" establishment. All in all, the food was awesome! The craft beer selection is one that you can respect as a craft beer enthusiast and not just your typical blue moon and Sam Adams, like any should consider those crafts anyway loll! Wine selection looks pretty boss as well, we will have to give that a try on our next visit!

  • Lucia C.

    This is prob one of the most consistent places ive been to! The service is ALWAYS amazing and the food Is even better! As our appetizer, we got the bollitas de queso.. If you come here and don't get it you're not doing yourself justice!! It's not on the regular menu though, look to the board on your right for the specials.. You won't be dissapointed :) The Cobb salad here is prob the best I've EVER had.. (I'm allergic to blue cheese so I sub feta) .. The portions of each item it are cut perfectly so you can just pour the dressing and enjoy! Soo we still haven't tried the mofungo which is one of their specials that they are praised for.. NEXT TIME.. All in all if you didn't try any of the things I said, you HAVE to try the guava cheesecake for dessert.. WOW is all I have to say!

  • Viviana M. R.

    Just moved here and ordered delivery from this spot. Fast and great service , nice delivery guy and it was easy to order. Chicken mofongo was spectacular, the kale and quinoa salad was really yummy and a great value, and the yucca fries nicely seasoned with a tasty dipping sauce. Only thing I'd say the yucca could have been a bit more fried. I see this easily becoming a neighborhood favorite!

  • Yessica C.

    First time, I tried this mofongo dish. I've order chicken mofongo, and it was pretty good. The mofongo texture tasted moist. The chicken was delicious. I recommend that you try Jimmy mofongo dish. It remind me of Dominican Republic. I've order delivery. The food was still warm. It's a lot of mofongo in the plate which will be good for sharing.

  • Lyndenise B.

    I used to go with the pleneros and the energy was amazing! Definitely miss that! Unfortunately the few times I've been for lunch, the chicken and sauce for the mofongo were cold and bland. Very disappointing and not a true representation of PR cuisine.

  • Carrie R.

    I regret not ordering the Mofongo because the bite from my fiancé's plate was delicious. I just wasn't hungry enough for an entree but fortunately there were plenty of options including sandwiches, paninis, and the specials of the day. I ordered the chicken prosciutto panini and it was plentiful, flavorful, melty goodness. The restaurant was clean, the service was easy- you order from the counter and you're food is brought to you. Pretty simple and painless quick dinner, I'll definitely come back and rock some of that Mofongo next time.

    I am not sure why everyone raves about this place. The food i very average at best. I had the Chicken Creole plate and wondered when I was going to taste and Creole spices. It was incredibly bland and pasted like tomato sauce. The staff is very friendly and the place is very clean. Would I go back to the place? It would not be my first or second choice. Not really sure if I would or not.

    (3)

  • Tina V.

    Mofongo is not my thing then again i hate to say it but out of all the food i tried from different country, Cuban food is just not my type of food for some reason and that is a whole other story. Mussels creole with Bread: (3/5) its ok Shrimp Creole (3/5) The tomato base is soo over powering Charrasco (4/5) it was good. OVerall its my quick bite spot. But not my best.

  • William O.

    Jimmy'z is one of those places that -- sadly -- I don't frequent as often as I'd like. I mean, it is damn near the perfect restaurant. As far as the menu goes, it is eclectic in the oddest of ways. Usually, I HATE this. I'm of the variety who believes that you pick one, two, or three things, and you do them well. Jimmy'z kind of shatters that ideal. Their sandwiches -- from roast turkey to hummus with tomato and cucumber salsa -- their salads -- the Jerk Chicken salad is both a house and a William O. favorite -- and their mofongo -- their's FREAKING mofongo -- are all top notch. I mean, I've never once had anything from which I've walked away thinking, "Meh." Never and not a once. Jimmy'z is just so representative of the area. A cool little restaurant boasting a respectable beer selection, bottles of wine, modern decor, and in walking district from NW 2nd Ave and the heart of Wynwood. I would say that my only gripe is that you don't really have waiter service. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I don't know, I think a waiter would make this more a hangout than just a place for a quick bite, and if you've ever been here and have enjoyed their music and the floor-to-ceiling windows feeding you the outside world, then you know exactly what I mean. Then again, maybe that's not what Jimmy'z is going for. Maybe Jimmy'z wants you to break through those floor-to-ceiling barriers so you can get out in the world and speak to a stranger. And that's pretty cool, too.

    It's a tradition all right! Today I had the grilled churrasco with arugula salad.... Ok Ok I am trying to have a no carbs diet but couldn't resist hAving a sliver of my friends mofongo, delicioso! We love to meet up with friends here. The wines are great and they treat us like family! We love this place!

    I went here due to the enormous number of rave yelp reviews it had. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the food was sub par. There's no way they actually got all these rave reviews from actual customers

  • Gloria A.

    Came here a few months ago and forgot to write a review. Was in around lunch time so I expected it to be packed. Luckly, we placed our order and found a table. We had the crab cakes which were very good. I ordered the shrimp mofongo and was in heaven! I had been craving it for a while, being Puerto Rican it's hard to find a place that makes good mofongo. Jimmy'z Kitchen is it! I would def. come back and try them all!

    (4)

  • Elizabeth Y.

    Absolutely delicious. Gotta try the seared ahi salad and the chicken Mofongo. Mofongo can be a little heavy for some people, but they have to go boxes which you can take home. Their espresso (free with Check -In on Yelp) is delicious, and you don't have to order it at the same time as the meal. Service was top notch, given that the place is really like order and sit-down rather than a restaurant. On the pricer side. Their desserts look absolutely mouth-watering... Plenty of parking all around.

    (4)

  • Caroline D.

    I've ordered/eaten here for lunch a few times and I am OBSESSED with their Ahi Tuna seared sandwich! There's just something about the way that the seared tuna and blue cheese scallion spread combo come together; they compliment each other so well. It tastes like pieces of heaven in each bite! I will try other items eventually but this is my fave so far. If you're looking to switch up instead of having a Turkey or BLT sandwich, definitely try this!

    (5)

  • Michelle F.

    This review is strictly for the pork mofongo....one word: delicious. The mojo was perfect and the plantains were very flavorful. Restaurant has a very casual vibe (wasn't really expecting that) but at least patrons have the option of sitting indoors or outdoors. Price for the mofongo was $17.

    (4)

  • Andrea G.

    Since we moved downtown we are making an effort to visit some of the local spots to eat. After reading the great yelp reviews and the location being so close by I had to try it out. The menu is listed on the walls and you order at the counter. I was prepared and knew what I was going to order from reading reviews online but my boyfriend had no clue what dish to order because there are no descriptions or pictures. We both ordered Mofongo for the first time. I ordered churrasco and he ordered shrimp. The staff was friendly and the food came quickly. Overall I enjoyed my meal.

    (4)

  • Jann L.

    Everybody raves about the mofongo (a fried plantain-based dish) atop a bed of your choice of protein (chicken, steak, pork, your choice of seafood)... but it's not for me. Those plantains were just a dense mound of carbs that needed a long deep bath in the sauce to amount to much flavor. No bueno. The desserts swooped in and saved the day - get the flan! Dressed in thick sweet caramel, this is a wobbly custard you will want to take home with you in your belly.

    (3)

  • Daniel R.

    Delicious !!!! Bolitas de Queso with guava sauce and mofongo are among my favorites but you have numerous menu options which varied from salads, sandwiches to entrees, drinks, and desserts. I Keep coming back, never been disappointed.

  • Stephanie P.

    So, my review is a little late (first, and unfortunately last :( time I went was in October)....but I cannot stop singing Jimmy'z praises! When I went, I had the Fajita Salad with Chicken and OH MY GOODNESS WAS IT DELICIOUS. The chicken and caramelized onions were nice and warm, the lettuce and tortilla chips were fresh and crisp....BEST SALAD I'VE EVER HAD. I just can't get over how flavorful it was, like there are no words to explain the deliciousness that ensues when you start eating this. I dream about this salad. Now, on to the actual establishment....the staff is super friendly and the place is super clean! They also serve you a really nice amount of food and have plenty of tofu options if you're not fond of meat. All in all, it's an amazing little gem in Miami and I LOVE seeing businesses like this thrive. You can find them in Wynwood, South Beach, and Pinecrest. Happy eating!

  • Leilani D.

    Five stars for the mofongo, three to four for everything else I've tried here. All the other reviewers are right...just get the mofongo. I've had the pork, chicken, and churrasco and they were all excellent (although the chicken a little less so - only because chicken will never have the same flavor as steak/pork). I mean the moment the fork goes into your mouth you might almost shed a tear. The place itself is cute. It's the kind where you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table, and the service has always been quick. It was one of the first restaurants in a pretty shady wynwood corner, although now it's neighbored by Bloom and Pride & Joy. It's a nice open space witha sort of pop-style modern decor. One of the things I really liked was aside from the fact that the food is reasonably priced you can get a decent bottle of wine for around $20 which is almost unheard of anywhere. I came here once to have birthday dinner with a friend and he and I split a bottle of wine and had delicious meals for around $50. Not too shabby. Really though...mofongo...

  • Roger A.

    Jimmy'z is very'z average. We had the mofongo with steak and unfortunately the meat was very well done (not medium as ordered) so therefore tough. It was very disappointing because otherwise the food and drink was four stars. Tasty mofongo, a diverse selection of beers, and yummy croquettes. The Wynwood locale on the first floor of a new high rise and modern ambiance were all pluses. I wanted to give four stars but alas, no :(

    We visited for an early dinner with a Groupon yesterday. We definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and sat comfortably in the corner near the TV and beverage station. My husband and I were excited to try the mofongo and we're so glad that we did! I ordered the churrasco and my husband ordered the pork. So freaking good! He also ordered the yuca fries. Yum! Our only complaint is after parking and the 3 items we ordered, we spent over $35...and that was after the Groupon discount. Keep in mind that this is a counter service restaurant. Hard to believe it would have cost us $50 without the Groupon, and we didn't even order drinks. :-\ Maybe that's just the cost of eating in Wynwood area? It was our first experience over there.

    (4)

  • Sarai G.

    I purchased a groupon for this place after reading all the great reviews on here and I honestly i don't really see what the fuzz is all about really. At first hand the lady at the cashier that took our order was totally distracted and almost send the wrong order, i had the churrasco mofongo and the meat was chewy the mofongo hard and cold. Don't waist your money here people.

  • Aries R.

    This has to be the best lunch spot ever!! Best sandwiches and entrees!! They have deals, happy hour and relax environment to enjoy some good food. This place has never let me down and I always forget to write a review because of the food coma I leave this place with. Their Mofongo is fire!!! Sandwiches fire!! Anything on their menu is fire!!

  • Ryna D.

    Had dinner here last time I was in Miami. It's a casual spot that's great any time of the day. The mofongo is stellar! I had the churrasco mofongo but I liked my boyfriend's pulled pork one better. The serving is huge and I would have been satisfied just sharing one plate. Desserts and coffee are also delightful. The flans are just yummy. They also have a great wine and beer selection. And the prices are very reasonable.

  • Sara K.

    On a recommendation from a friend, we decided to stop by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. (Easy to find, and parking along street) I was very pleased with the numerous menu options which varied from salads, sandwiches to entrees, drinks, and desserts. Easy to read, located directly above the registers. Staff seemed nice and not over the top friendly. Usually it takes me awhile to figure out what I want and I impulsively decided to order the Cubano panini. My boyfriend got the pot roast and we ended up switching meals. Little pricey for what it was, but it was good, quick, and easy! I'd probably stop by again if I'm in the area.

  • Brittany J.

    I am obsessed with their jerk chicken salad. DELISH. They are also pretty fast too, and the employees are always friendly. The only downside is I feel like it's a little overpriced for a fast food place, but then again they do give large portion sizes so I guess it's not too bad.

  • Sunem N.

    Let me start by saying my opinion of this place has changed. I use To really like it. Ive posted various pics and tips on yelp before of the food which I have enjoyed. Thats the only reason I give it 1 star. However, A large group of family and friends went this weekend to artwalk and since every restaurant had an outrageous wait time I suggested Jimmy's having been there before and had great food so thought it was worth the 5 minute walk. We called and since the place was nearly empty they were able to accommodate a large party of 15 and had the table ready for us. We ordered our food and were having a great time with family laughing. When this very rude employee comes over to our table and tells us to be quiet that we were being too loud! Which we were not (we were just laughing and having great conversation) only half of us had eaten but we were not having it, we bring you business and you're rude to us. Very disappointed! We decided to leave imidietly. We crossed the street and went over to Pride and Joy that should have been our first choice they were very attentive and nice. Jimmy's wynwood just lost alot of customers. Even though I like their food I will not be back and be treated badly.

    So I had the Pomodoro Panini in which was fresh and tasty. The plantain chips appetizer was a very nice compliment to my sandwich. I was licking my fingers. They were crunchy and the sauce was tasty. I was surprised that it was so empty on a beautiful Miami Sunday. If it's a nice day eat outside! I only wish they had more than just 2 bathrooms :-/ other than that I enjoyed the modern ambience, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff.

    Had dinner here last night with my husband and everything was AMAZING! We both ordered churrasco, i had it with mofongo, my husband had the platter with rice, beans and plantains. The meat was incredible, very well seasoned and tasted amazing with the chimicurri sauce! For dessert we shared a coconut guava cookie... wish we would have each ordered out own tho... It was heaven in a cookie! Definitely recommend anyone thats in the midtown or south beach area!

    Oh man, I'm so disappointed. I decided to go tonight to JK to get my jerk chicken salad on (to go, I should add) and was beyond excited because it's one of my favorite salads ever. I walked in, tried to stay away from the sweets that were calling my name (I lost that fight, had to order the Nutella cookie....yes, you read correctly, NUTELLA cookie). The guy at the register who took my order promised it would not disappoint, which it did not. It was solid, not mind blowing, but anything with Nutella in it is usually worth the calories. After some time, the guy hands me my salad in a bag and I head back to the crib to watch trash tv aka Bravo. I dig into the salad and I immediately notice that the chicken is a little cold. I was so hungry that I was willing to look past it but after I attempted to chew the second strip of chicken, I notice that it's unchewable (probably not a word?). What the F JK? Ugh, so I try a couple more pieces to make sure I wasn't crazy and sure enough they tasted and felt like rubber. Seriously, it was a complete waste of money and had I been dining in, I would've definitely complained (which I absolutely hate doing). It was just that terrible and even though I usually order from the South Beach location, this has definitely put me off to JK all together. What a shame because we had a good thing going for a while.

    Was in the area with a buddy and had heard such great things we decided to stop in. It was 11:02 (they closed at 11:00) but the guy behind the counter told us we could still order. I thought that was great. Usually you are ran out of a business if they are closing. I ordered the steak sandwich and mofongo. I have never had mofongo but read the reviews and there seemed to be alot of fans. I was not a fan. I can't judge if this one was good/better than others but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Too dry, even with the sauce...and just...flavorless? Maybe I am crazy. But the portion is huge for a side ($7) . Now....the steak sandwich? WOW. I'll go on a limb and say it was the best/tastiest steak sandwich I have ever had. The steak was perfect. The mushrooms and onions great. The bread super soft. With some melted provolone on top....perfect. The restarant was empty but had a cool setup and of course super trendy furniture. I thought it was cool they text you your total and give you an update on "points" towards rewards. I will return and try some other things on the menu - or maybe just grab another steak sandwich.

    If you're looking for a great Puerto Rican, Cuban, ect. place in Miami and you can only eat at one, definitely eat here. It's the best combination of it all. I did my yelp research and this is where it brought us before catching our flight on our way out of Miami. What a great last meal! Of course I had to order the chicken Mofongo. In the center is a ball of mashed fried plantains and spices, surrounded by a delicious blend of tomato sauce and tender chicken breast pieces. It's so unique and so good. They also had all kinds of pulled pork and jerk chicken options, I just couldn't decide. I wish they would come to San Diego and open one, we have nothing like this! Definitely a layover-worthy stop.

    I love mofongo and was told this is the place to get good mofongo. I never heard of Jimmyz before and didn't know what kind of place it was. I took a chance and came to try it. It was so comfortable and cute. Just order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. My mofongo arrived with plenty of roasted port. It was very good although it wasn't the way I have had it in the past and it was a little bit salty. Mofongo is traditionally served in a wood mortar and Jimmyz serves it on a plate in a sauce or some kind of broth. It's good but different than what I am used to. Next time I want to try it with fried pork to see if I like it more. We also had a pork dish. The pork and the sides were very good.

    I saw a mofongo restaurant on Travel channel and was set to find one ever since! When visiting Miami, I heard Jimmy'z Kitchen had some of the best mofongos in town. I just had to go check it out!! Was it everything I imagined it to be? YES! and more!! At $17, it's a little more expensive than everything else on their menu. But the portion is pretty big, so it can justify the price. I ordered the Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce Mofongo. The Churrasco was cooked to perfection! While Chimichurri sauce was wonderful! The flavors complimented each other perfectly. Also, seeing that I loveeeeee fried plantains... Mofongos and I were destined to be soul mates. The restaurant itself is casual. You go up and order your food, find your own seat, and they bring it out to you. For parking, we weren't really sure where to park. We found some street parking in a neighborhood 2-3 blocks away.

    Despite the 4 star ratings, I wasn't impressed with Jimmy'z Kitchen. The cashier recommended the shrimp mofongo, so I ordered it..it was dry and flavorless and had large chunks of plantains in it! Worse, the shrimp were sitting in a very tart creole sauce. I couldn't even use it to moisten up the plantains! Definitely a miss. Try Bennie's seafood if you want good Mofongo! We also ordered hummus and a corn soup for starters. The soup wasn't bad, but the hummus was served right out of the fridge and was too cold! I prefer mine closer to room temperature. My friend had one of the specials...some type of baked fish and rice. That wasn't memorable either. The best thing on the menu was the Cappuccino!

    This is a simple and tasty alternative to going out to dinner. I had the Mojo Pork dish. The pork was tender and juicy and they give you a heaping cup or two of rice and beans. The beans were a bit bland but, okay. They have a variety of craft beers and good desserts. Overall a nice time.

    On our last day in Miami we decided to come here for lunch before heading out to the airport. One of our friends had brought back a Mofongo dish the night before and we scarfed it up, even though it was cold and had been sitting around a few ours. We wanted to taste a fresh mofongo. The location itself seemed kind of odd. It was in what appeared to be a multi level business building and it looked like a cafeteria you find in hospitals or colleges. Its a walk up and order then sit place, so you have to decide what you want in line. The main menu had salads and sandwiches. Thats not what were there for. On the side wall, in a chalkboard was the hand written Mofongo menu. The menu included shrimp, pork, seafood, and churrasco with chimichurri. I went with the churrasco, which was cooked well and had good flavor on its own. But it felt inconsistent with the mofongo and the creole sauce. It was like have two different entrees. I would recommend the Mojo Pork or the shirimp creole as the seem to go better with the mofongo itself. But all were good. On another note, the creole sauce seemed more like a marinara, but it was still good. We also had yucca fries which were pretty good. One note, the location is a bit off the beaten path during the day and it was very difficult to find a cab back to the hotel.

    Consistently great food with great service. We did a mixed medley of sandwiches today. Steak sandwich which was like a Philly cheese, tasted great, blackened chicken which was served full Chicken breast great seasoning and sauce and finally chicken salad sandwich whole grain bread with lettuce and tomato. Always a great bite with consistent quality. They have coffee and espresso to wash down any of the great desserts.

    Despite the good reviews this place has- I think its overpriced fast food. We ordered the sarzuela de mariscos- the portion was small and not a large variety of seafood - mostly filled with clams. The mahi mofongo- although the fish was ok- the mofongo was heavily garlicky. The other thing I didnt like is that for the price , this place has no service to table, you have to order at counter.

    Its was ok went for a late lunch on the weekend. I got the fish trying to be healthy. It was Small pcs over a mayo slathered slaw. My friend got the salmon its was basic as well. Neither dishes were anything special and not a bit pricey for what you get. Maybe their Mofango is where its at. Ill have to give that a try and re-review at a later date. Ill give them another chance to wow me.

    I'm giving this place 2 stars because: The cheese balls appetizer and the coco chocolate chip cookie were good. I had high expectations for the mofongo based on all the great reviews. I ordered the churrasco mofongo and it was not good. The churrasco was extremely rubbery and the mofongo was very dry. And to top it off, the girl at the register was rude.

    I like that Jimmy'z now has a location where you can sit and eat. The casual ordering system appealed to me as well. The gal behind the counter was very friendly. We ordered the seared tuna sandwich to share and wanted a little something to go along with it. This is where they lose a star because they were out of almost everything on the starters menu. No chickpea fritters, no fried yuca, no corn souffle. Very disappointed. We went with the fried cheese balls instead. So, how was the food? Excellent! The tuna was a large portion and was seared perfectly. It was served on thick toasty bread with plenty of arugula for garnish. The sandwich comes with a blue cheese scallion sauce that we requested on the side as I DO NOT LIKE blue cheese. The gal behind the counter assured us that the blue cheese flavor was very mild, but she did not fully understand the depth of my hatred of all cheeses blue. The Mr. enjoyed it slathered delicately on his half of the sandwich though. The fried cheese balls were good, primarily because they did NOT contain blue cheese! It was some sort of mild orange-y cheese and it seemed like they may have mixed something in there to keep the cheese from getting overly melty in the fryer - a bonus as no one likes to bite into something deep fried and have molten liquid squirting all over the place! The order contained 6 balls and a drizzle of guava sauce. In all, it was a decent amount of reasonably healthy food at a good price. I will definitely return next time I am in the neighborhood.

    I finally went there a couple of weeks ago to try it, after reading good and objective reviews. Unfortunately, I've wasted my time and money there. The place was busy on a friday night and the ambiance was good; the rest, a total and epic fail. We had the mofongo which was tasteless and close to frozen; the seared ahi salad was another fail. The wine (white) was at room temperature and the service was totally unprofessional. This is the kind of places that gains fame and forget to keep the good work. Never again. One star for that, second star for the ambiance only.

    Looking to grab a fresh salad with good quality ingredidients thesis your place. I been going to the ne in south beach for years. The one in wimpy wood happens to be really nice inside with plenty of seating both inside and outside. The salads are huge $9.50 I got a chopped salad with cucumber, blue cheese, candid walnuts, tomatoes, and green onion with a breast of chicken. They have this jerk chicken salad with mango, avocado, tomatoes, that looks amazing. I can't wait to go back in and try that one! Wohooo I am definitely a fan ! I have a feeling I will be back again this week. Btw the cookies are AMAZING you must try them wow! I had the chocolate chip, chocolate, white chocolate. Cookies deserve 6 stars ! Trust me you must try !

    I love the word MOFONGO. It really is a fun word to say. It could be the tri-syllable assonance that appeals to me. Or it really could be that it has the word MOFO in it. Either way it's a great word. However, I like eating MOFONGO even more than I like saying it. Jimmy'z Kitchen has GREAT mofongo. They have many mofongos here, but I stuck to the traditional pork variety. The plantains were moist, the pork was juicy and delicious, and of course the mojo sauce was to die for. I'd have to say that this mofongo is as good as some I have had while in San Juan. My wife ordered the Chicken Portabella which was quite pedestrian compared to my mofongo. She ended up eating a quarter of my plate as she loved it so much. The portions are pretty large, and you can get away with sharing a plate if you order an appetizer. Check in on Yelp, and you'll get a free coffee as well! They have a great selection of items on the menu, and all for reasonable prices ($15 and under). The casual vibe here is great, and its also a good place to go with kids. They also have a surprisingly good beer selection which is a big plus. It's even more fun to say MOFONGO after you've had a couple of brews.

    One word: Mofongo. I went to Jimmy'z with the specific intention of getting my hands on their renowned mofongo. I arrived with my friend for lunch and I was impressed by what I saw. I didn't expect the restaurant to look the way it did. It was very clean and had pretty bright colored chairs. I made my way to the cash register where I was greeted by a very nice gentleman. I knew I wanted to try the chicken mofongo but I asked him what beer I should drink. I told him I wanted a Puerto Rican beer since I was in a Puerto Rican restaurant. He suggested I get the Medalla Light and I was happy he did because it was very good and very refreshing. I sat down, sipped my beer and waited for my food. When I saw the waiter bringing over my food, I reverted to acting like a child on Christmas morning. I was just too excited about trying this dish. When I finally bit into the mofongo I finally understood what everyone was talking about. It was bliss. Every component of the meal was exceptional. The fried plantains, the chicken, and especially the Creole sauce. The thing was just amazing. My friend got a pork mofongo and I insisted on trying some. It was also really good but it didn't compare to my chicken mofongo since it did not have the Creole sauce. Now that I have actually tried Jimmy'z mofongo, all I can think about is when I'll be able to go back and have some again.

    I came here with the groupon and it was definitely a great decision. The sandwiches were amazing and tasted freshly made. Ordered the caramel flan as a dessert and it tasted light and great. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere of the place is nice and clean. Very good definitely would go back.

    It seems like every time I read a review for ANYTHING Wynwood (being walls, murals, galleries, 2nd Saturday, et cetera), I frequently hear the name "Jimmy'z Kitchen", so I caved to see what all the hype is about. My mouth is watering just writing this paragraph. I love Mofongo and have yet to find a decent mofongo near home, so when a few reviews mention how good the mofongo is, we knew to order it. We also ordered the Mojo Pork. Overall we loved our dishes although both dishes were a bit salty (but not so bad to ruin the dishes). The serving sizes were plenty big. The pork came with sweet plantains & beans and rice... the beans were spectacular & the meat was lean and cooked to perfection. The mofongo was a bit chunkier than what we've experienced in the past but it was definitely to our liking. My only complaint is I'm not a fan of "fast casual" eateries (order at counter, take a seat & wait for food to be delivered to your table), even though they are popping up everywhere these days. The prices here are really quite fair (under 10 for sandwiches and salads) and the entrees are around 10 to 15 dollars, although mofongo was 17 bucks. I didn't mind the higher cost but paying just under 40 dollars for counter service, I would've preferred table service (drink refills, order more, get condiments, remove dirty dishes, ask for napkins and so much more). It's like paying for overpriced fast food; don't get me wrong, I just think counter service cheapens the place a bit. All in all, I enjoyed the food, I was very comfortable in their modern decor and do look forward to trying out some other dishes.

    After my trips to Puerto Rico, I never thought I'd see Mofongo again. But after arriving in Miami and using my trusty yelp mobile app, there it was. Jimmy'z Kitchen. By the name, I never would have thought that they serve Puerto Rican food, and if not for the yelp mobile app, I never would have checked this place out. So we got here after dark. It sits on the corner of an apartment building. It was the only thing that seemed to be really lit up. Parking was on the curb and free. We walked inside and checked out the menu on the wall. The employees were really friendly. Of course I knew that I was going to order the Mofongo, but they do have a nice assortment of bistro food like paninis and salads. But wait...there's more. After I checked in on my yelp mobile app, I unlocked a free espresso! So after ordering a Mofongo with Churrasco and one with shrimp, we were given a number and sat outside. The weather was good of course for February. They had music playing and a few groups of people were hanging out and the place wasn't too noisy. When our Mofongo orders finally came, they dropped them off at our table and it was like I had just gotten my own piece of heaven. The Churrasco was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Tender, juicy, mouth watering. With the crushed Platanos it was so frickin' awesome. The service was really good too. Our waiter kept coming by periodically to see if we needed anything and wasn't annoying. Afterwards I got my free espresso and relaxed. This joint has excellent food, good prices, good service and a good vibe. I would go out of my way to come here the next time I'm in Miami.

    I live in Broward county and don't get down to Miami that often (not a big fan of Miami Dade) but I always make it point to stop at Jimmy'z Kitchen. I love the new location, so big, clean, and very modern. I cant think of one thing on the menu that I don't love. My fav is the Seared Ahi Tuna. It's served with avocado salad and jasmine rice. I always gets get mine with a side of their amazing white sherry vinaigrette. Deeee-licous! I'm hoping they open one in North Miami or Broward soon!

    So, there I was in MIA, ready for dinner. I decided to check Yelp to see what was nearby. Jimmy'z was my choice since it was close and had great reviews. Once again, you guys didn't steer me wrong. Since going to PR twice in recent years, I fell in love wit mofongo and had it almost every day. So, I was excited to have the opportunity to have it again. I got the shrimp mofongo and it had great flavor. The sauce was a bit different than what I was used to, but that didn't take away from the dish. It was good - just different. The shrimp was also cooked perfectly. The service was super friendly, quick, and the place is SO inexpensive for the quality. This was my 2nd new place I tried while I was on my last trip to MIA. It's made my list of places to always check out while I'm down there.

    Now for a generalization: People that dine here are attractive. Looking at attractive people, though marginally damaging to ones self-image, is still a pleasant experience. It's like the advertising effect. If Michael Jordan wears Nike, maybe I'll have a four foot vertical if I buy the kicks, too. But, I'm only been here twice and my waistline has stayed pretty static. Ok, so enough about my neurosis. This place serves fresh, tasty, and unusual meal choices. The first visit here, I got the jerk chicken salad. It was a good salad and the chicken was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. The second salad came with dressing on the side. It was the seared tuna salad. I put the dressing on the salad only to realize that it was also pre-dressed. My salad was now over-dressed. Whoops. But it still tasted good, just way too much dressing.

    Mofongo! Bye! No, really. Try the mofongo. A bit pricey, but if you've never tried it, it's worth giving it a go. The only couple times I've had it, I'm pretty sure I had the shrimp one which was great, but I'm sure the chicken or beef ones are great too!

  • Rebecca C.

    MOFONGO is now my new favorite word too! I highly recommend getting a Mofongo dish on your first visit. What is Mofongo you ask? I couldn't find a good explanation in the reviews here - but now I know, it's a pile of tostones, kinda mashed, but still crunchy and flavorful. You choose your dish based on your protein: we did shrimp, they have chicken, beef, pork, etc. too. And it's all topped with a sweet yet salty tomato sauce, that was surprisingly good for someone not a fan of red sauces. I'll admit it, we almost licked our plate clean. So dissapointed they didn't have the Ballitos Cheese Balls appetizer but that meant we got to try the Crab Cakes instead. Perfect - wow. I was skeptical and became a believer on this day. They weren't bready at all and had a great dijon sauce. Not a crumb left. They were sadly too small for my liking, but what can you do? And then to finish - the cheesecake was super creamy yet thick enough and not too sweet, delicious. I can't wait to come back, I keep telling everyone I know about it. A perfect place to visit in Wynwood. I wasn't all too impressed with the decor like other reviews said, but it was a fun casual place to enjoy lunch, and the server girl was a bit off. However, I can't wait to try everything else on the menu, it all looked so good and with not one bit of this meal being a disappointment, I can only look forward to more good things from Jimmy'z.

    Yesterday afternoon my husband and I finally went to Jimmy'z Kitchen. My son, a Yelp Elite member, has mentioned before that he's ordered their food to go, and the Churrasco with Mofongo was very tasty and big enough to share. So, since we were in the area, and it was around 4:00PM, we were really hungry and ready to have a late lunch. This place is very, very good. Nice modern decor and simple street parking, but feels like a fast food place. After ordering at the register, they give you a number and bring the food to your table. A little bit pricey for a place with no table cloth, and no waiter service, but it is worth it. The food is superb. To begin, we ordered the Arañitas appetizer which consist of shredded green plantains fritters with a semi-sweet guava sauce. They were great!!! My husband ordered the Mofongo with Pork, absolutely delicious, Pork was tender and with a real Cuban flavor. As usual, I ordered a salad, the "Jerk Chicken Salad". A big, fresh salad with mango, avocado, and cucumbers, which was just delicious., the chicken also had an amazing flavor. We drank a couple of Heineken Lights, which were perfectly ice cold. All of this was about $50. We did not order dessert since we were full.

    We ordered the Salmon and Mofongo w/Chicken. It was good. The place was super clean and the service was great. They made a small mistake with my order and not only fixed it in 90 seconds but offered to give us free dessert. We didn't take the dessert..lol.. But they all looked delicious.

    I was somewhat disappointed in Jimmy'z because I found the food to be merely good, not great. And my husband, unfortunately, didn't enjoy his meal at all. Jimmy'z is a casual restaurant in Wynwood where you place your order, get a number, pick a table and wait for someone to bring you your food. The decor is industrial with a polished concrete floor, exposed ceiling pipes and track lighting. They specialize in Mofongo, which I love. They also have a selection of entrees, salads, sandwiches and desserts. My husband got the churrasco steak with chimichurri sauce, white rice, black beans and maduros. He said everything was mediocre at best, the steak was bland, the beans were watery and he just didn't care for the texture of the rice. I got the shrimp mofongo with a side of seasonal sauteed veggies to balance out my meal. The veggie side was a large serving of carrots, mushrooms, onion, red and green peppers and minced garlic. It was a little oily but tasty nonetheless. My mofongo came in what seemed to be a homemade red sauce with a very generous serving of plump, juicy shrimp. I'm used to mofongo that's a bit more mashed, this one had big chunks of plantain, but the taste was right on. I would have liked to try their flan but we were pretty full. I just wish hubby had liked it more, I'd certainly be willing to give it another chance.

    Nice decor and I decided to come based on the other reviews. I will say they offer a wide variety of sandwiches and salads that you won't typical in Latin American food. Cheese balls are better than a lot I've had but not a must as others are commenting on. The Chimichurri Mofongo I had was preapred well and had a great taste. For the Mofongo I had for the first time, tasty but a tad bit dry. Will definitely try this location again.

    This is actually an update to my review of Jimmy's Kitchen in South Beach. After I gave them 4 stars the owner wrote to me to say he spoke to the chefs to improve on that issue! I was at Gallery Walk and stopped in to Jimmy'z in Wynwood. Needless to say the food and service were excellent (again) and this time the chicken was cooked even better than before. (The Mofongo was perfect as usual). I met Jimmy for the first time and was impressed. We left feeling like family.

    I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico - transplanted to Miami, and i must say, Jimmy'z is great. All their Latin specialties are tasty and true to its roots. The Mofongo and Churrasco are amazing, and so is the Seared Tuna plate for those days when i'm craving fresh seafood that's not overpriced. AND THEY SELL OUR NATIONAL BEER - MEDALLA!!! which just recently made its way to shelves in the US. Thanx Jimmy'z.

  • Stephanie L.

    Monfongo. Where have you been all my life? Went to Jimmy'z Kitchen not quite sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. As is common in the Design District area, the decor is modern and industrial. An informal-style ordering counter awaits, and chalkboard menus list the specials. They have lots of unique craft beers and a huge wine list. The dessert counter display is pretty enticing as well, and is filled with different varieties of flan, bread pudding and cheesecake too. On my first visit, my friend and I decided to share the crab cakes, an avocado and tomato salad and a shrimp mofongo. We seated ourselves towards the back where it was a bit more quiet, and put our number in the holder. In no time the runner came out with our first course. The crab cakes came in a zesty mustard sauce and were filled with crab meat. Unlike most places, thankfully the breading was minimal, which allowed the crab to shine. They paired it with a sauce with full mustard seeds, which added great flavor and crunch. The avocado and tomato salad was super fresh and a nice light option. When we finished the appetizers they brought over our mofongo. I have never had mofongo before, and didn't know what I was in for...however it was amazing! The plantain mash was more a tostones mush than a sweet plantain, and the juicy shrimp were really well cooked. The whole dish came in a tomato based sauce that was not at all spicy, but packed a strong flavor. For dessert we got the apple cheesecake. It was good and not too sweet, but it definitely didn't taste like apples. We really enjoyed ourselves and between the appetizers, entree and dessert only spent $20 each. The woman who took our order was a bit brusque, but the food itself was so good it didn't matter. It was a great find with a nice atmosphere and a superb meal. Since that first experience I've been back a number of times, and I'm consistently impressed with all of their offerings. I still get the traditional mofongo, and often the fresh avocado and tomato salad, but another delectable choice is the cheese filled bolitos. Balanced by a sweeter guava sauce, they can be dangerously addictive. Really love this addition to the neighborhood, and I highly recommend checking it out!

    So, my boyfriend and I came here because of the good reviews. I think I will stop depending on yelp so much for a good place to eat on our date nights. I ordered the pollo guisado and my taste bubs were really expecting puerto rican flavor, the cilantro, culantro, the onions, green peppers and sazon.... I GOT TOMATO SAUCE AND OREGANO!!! Grilled chicken with italian sauce over it. The mofongo wasnt all that El Rinconcito in Hialeah knows what real mofongo is!! Over all i give this place 3 for freshness. The tomato sauce was made from scratch and the place was clean!

    This mofongo should be the reference to rate all other mofongo in the universe! I have been bringing friends, family and associates to this fine establishment since they opened and everybody has just been wowed not only by the mofongo but everything else that has been ordered. The service is also top notch! You CAN'T go wrong!

    Claudia J. and I went here last weekend since we were in the area and I'd been wanting to try it for forever, especially after Michelle C's review. Man, the food was delicious. They make a mean, uber flavorful shrimp mofongo. The salsa criolla was ridiculously good. The shrimp were not overcooked at all; they were just right, which is great because overcooked shrimp is a huge pet peeve. However, they did a real cheat job on de-veining of the shrimp. They deveined it 3/4 of the way and left the vein hanging there, still attached. That wasn't cool, so I just removed it all. Service was very good, although it's not full waiter service. Everyone from the cashiers to the waiter-ish guy to Jimmy himself was very friendly, patient, and helpful. I am not a sandwich girl, much less a deli meat girl, but Claudia's Cuban sandwich was bangin', too. It was the best I've had by far. It wasn't on Cuban bread, which was great for me, and the roast pork was marinated and flavorful, and the deli meat part was great quality. I would definitely order it if I were in a sandwich mood. It is clear that the ingredients for everything here is very high quality. They had some yummy-looking desserts that caught my eye, including a seriously tempting bread pudding and even chocolate flan. The ambiance is chic and the outdoor seating is nice for taking in the breeze. All in all, I just can't wait to go back! On a side not, Claudia and I both felt like such wastes because they had an amazing beer selection and neither of us drink. Too bad, lol. I think they might have happy hour, too.

    I've had both the chicken and the shrimp mofongos. While mofongo here is good and tasty, it's not great. The plantains are too hard and dry for my taste. I think they should add butter and garlic to the mofongo itself to make it softer and tastier. The bolitas de queso are good, too. The cashier is always unfriendly and unattentive. Yes, you have to order and pay at the cashier just like you do at a fast food place.

    I went with a friend who recommended we go here for a Sunday lunch. I had never heard of this place and had no expectations. Located just south of the Midtown shops, I didn't have any idea what to expect. Walking in, with a breakfast / brunch / lunch appetite, I was pleasantly surprised at the appearance of the dining area. The main menu is just over the registers with a larger meal of the day menu just to the side. I ended up ordering the Steak Fritas. They had you a number which you place at your table so they know where to bring your food. The food came quickly and the service was great! It was too early to drink (alcohol), but there was quite a selection that I will have to come back to try. The food was done perfectly to order. I will most definitely be going back, it's just a matter of figuring out how soon! Bottom Line: Highly Recommended!

    The first time I saw Jimmy'z at South Beach, I laughed as I was told this place had amazing dishes. I thought "cmon, it's in a strip mall and only like 4 (very cramped) tables can fit, you gotta be kidding me, a good place would be able to afford an actual light-up sign". But once the food came out, I was loving the flavors and the prices were astoundingly low. I was so impressed in fact that I told the chef he should consider open a location near my area (around Midtown) and boy am I happy they listened eventually! I finally got a chance to head over on Friday night, wanting a cool chill place to eat without the loud hustle and bustle of Brickell or the pretentiousness of SoBe. I was glad to see some normal people dressed casual (finally) rather than wannabe models, all munching away happily and not getting annoyed by the breeze that made their hair get all messy. The young man behind the counter was very patient and helpful and made some excellent recommendations. We had the mushroom and asparagus purse appetizer, which I am told is very rarely offered, and it had this amazing grilled taste and was very juicy. We also got a chimichurri lamb chop entree, which comes with 5 decently sized chops for less than $20 (try finding THAT many lamb chops at such a great price elsewhere), and the special ahi tuna. The flavors were amazing and the portions were generous. The tuna was very fresh and the chops were tender. For dessert, I got the chocolate flan, something I had never tasted before, and I was sad to soon be done with it as it was very addictive. I must warn you though, this is NOT like what you'd call an upscale restaurant, it's more of a mom and pop casual place where you place an order and sit while they bring it out, sort of like Sakaya Kitchen, so if you're expecting a waiter to be at your beck and call, this isn't the place for it. They will clear plates and on occasion ask if you need a drink, but they won't be coming by every 5 minutes to check on you. It's a very cozy, friendly environment. Jimmy and his restaurant manager came by a few times and chatted with us. Unlike big upscale restaurants, the manager is present and willing to engage with his clientele. I look forward to ordering for delivery in the future, or just dropping by to enjoy the laidback atmosphere and new dishes.

    I've eaten here twice in the last week so I'm def a fan. I had to check it out after hearing my hairdresser raving about the place and I'm glad I did. I'd describe the food as Californian, and not really typical Miami food. Minus the mofongo (I haven't tried that yet). The food is fresh, healthy and tasty American food. Big salads, sandwiches, fancier entrees and desserts. The prices are affordable and the portions are large. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've tried there, which includes the steak sandwich, the chicken pomodoro sandwich, a burger, and a niscoise salad. Actually, I didn't like the flan, but I think that's just cause I don't like flan. You can eat inside or out they have a great program where you earn points every time you eat there for a discount and there's free street parking. I totally recommend Jimmy's Kitchen.

    I found myself back in the Midtown area for lunch earlier this week, when it dawned on me that the new Jimmyz Kitchen had opened. With my love of the original SoBe location dancing in my head,I knew I had to pop in to see what the new space had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised to see Jimmyz had taken over quite a large space in the building, and the decor was done up in lots of bright but earthy colors. Extra points on design, for sure. Jimmy features numerous daily specials, of both the appetizer and entree variety, so make sure you check out the chalkboards so you're fully informed of the day's offerings before you place your order. All the classics are there - the real & rustic sandwich, the ahi tuna salad, etc. Jimmyz Wynwood is also offering mofongo every day of the week! I haven't tried it myself, but I hear it's pretty damn good. I settled on the ahi tuna sandwich, which came with a good amount of seared sesame-crusted ahi tuna, a nice spread of arugula, tangy bleu cheese spread, all between 2 slices of perfectly toasted multi-grain bread. It was a bit messy to eat, but quite tasty nonetheless. But I did think that the bleu cheese spread was a little much, and definitely overshadowed the flavor of the tuna. And when I'm paying $12 for an ahi tuna sandwich, I wanna taste that tuna! Hence the 4-star review. There's free parking on both 28th and 27th Streets, as well as assorted meters throughout the area. If you've never been to Jimmyz before, get the now! And if you're a fan on the original location, the new Wynwood digs won't disappoint!

    Thank you Jimmy for reaching out to me after my initial review of two stars. For this reason, I decided to give it another shot and have your signature dish. The pork mofongo is absolutely great! Perfect for sharing, this meal has perfectly marinated shredded pork that is incased in a cocoon of plantains. Add a bit of their hotsauce and wha-la! Extremely filling and satifying. I was even able to check in on Yelp and received a free espresso! I flew in unnoticed so no special attention was given to me, which is what I wanted to give it a fair review. Meal came out very quick, service was great. Perhaps it was just a bad day the first time. Ok Jimmy - you made me a fan. 5 stars, and I'll be back for some more soon!

  • Brent B.

    I really like what Jimmy'z has to offer sandwiches and salads in a no-nonsense unpretentious environment. The space is hip and fun. I ordered a chicken sandwich with prosciutto, artichoke pesto spread and provolone cheese. The bread was toasted and filled with interesting flavors. The chicken was cooked to order and had a nice rosemary seasoning. I didn't love the artichoke pesto it was missing a little sweetness. However, it was still a very tasty sandwich. Next time I will probably get the steak sandwich which sounded delicious. Jimmy is often there and yes they sell my favorite soda Dr. Brown in a variety of flavors. The dinner selections were more upscale and sounded tasty, I heard the mofongo is top-notch and is now served daily. They have a wine special on Wednesday and a large assortment of micro brews. The Yelp phone app offers you a free espresso when you check in. I will definitely be back to try the Mofongo with a Dr. Brown black cherry to make it go down perfectly. Thank you Jimmy!

    Jimmy'z is now just another reason why I love Wynwood. We frequent the area often due to all the street art findings, and when we realized this restaurant recently opened we decided to pop in and try it out. I have to say, Jimmy'z took me by surprise for the following reasons: after we ordered our food one of the servers came by and asked if we wanted free mojitos (which were actually really good!) and later came around with free appetizers to try out. Bonus! For starters we had the bolitas de queso - fried cheese-filled balls drizzled with guava sauce. These were so good! For my main course I decided to have the chicken mofongo since I've never had it before and because I noticed plenty plates of this dish being served when we first arrived. I have absolutely no regrets in ordering this. Although I have no other mofongo to compare it to, I was hooked! I'm usually more of a sweet plantain kinda gal, but this was crazy addictive. The flavors blended so perfectly and I found myself eating until I couldn't anymore. Plus, for $12.95 this dish is a STEAL.The portion was huge, which gave me leftovers today and the rest for lunch tomorrow! My boyfriend ordered the steak sandwich and he thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I had one bite, and although I'm not big into steak sandwiches, it was really good - great flavor and cheesy which is never a bad thing. Overall I thought Jimmy'z executed everything correctly: warm and welcoming staff/service, a simple yet fresh ambiance and of course the delicious food. We'll definitely be back.

    Wow! The salads ingredients are so fresh that I think Jimmy has a garden in the back. I am SO happy they deliver to my house. I really needed another option for hangover Sunday delivery. I have to agree with my other Yelps that the Guava cheesecake is the best. I bought two on my way home to share & wish I would have just grabbed a whole guava cheesecake. It went that fast!! I am looking forward to the mofongo soon!

    My sister came to visit and wanted to go here. I had never been so we went. I was not impressed with the Mofongo at all we tried 3 beef, pork n shrimp. Wine was not worth it either. Total disappointment ... will maybe go back for parranda but that's a maybe

  • Yari B.

    Jimmy's is great for a quick and casual meal. You order at the counter then find your own table and wait for your food to be brought to you. However the flavors are above fast food. We loved the cheese balls! Next time I will ask for extra guava sauce on the side for dipping. Crab cakes are a solid 4 stars and good choice for appetizer. We did not get to try the regular mofongo because of a "shortage of plantains in Miami" but they did have yuca mofongo that satisfied my mofongo crave. I found the chicken pieces a bit tough but the sauce and yuca made up for it. Will be coming back to try their plantain mofongo and other items on the menu. Also a good option for delivery. They deliver to Brickell for a $2 fee.

    Oh my freaking god - go to this place right now. Drop what you are doing, stop reading this post, and go to Jimmy'z and order either the Churrasco or Chicken Mofongo - you can then die happy. There's a lot of other great items on their menu like salads, sandwiches, and other main plates - but not ordering the mofongo is like a photographer not bringing their camera. I have been raving about this place since my first time there - and continue to. The staff is super friendly - especially Javier - who makes you feel super comfortable. Don't forget that they have a yelp special offer for checking in - and you'll get a free cafecito! Love this place!!

    It was my first night in Miami, and I wanted to try Cuban food while my dad wanted Jamaican food. After some searching on Yelp, I decided on Jimmy'z Kitchen, where I could order both Jerked Chicken Salad and Mofongo. The mofongo was very delicious, but the chicken in the salad was a little dry. However, I did like that the salad was topped with mangos, avocados, almonds, and tomatoes! If you're the type of person who likes a lot of toppings on your salad (like I am), this is the salad for you! In addition, I appreciated that they served dressing on the side without needing to ask them to do it. I also tried the guava cheesecake, which was surprisingly good, considering I don't usually like guava. The cheesecake had the perfect consistency. They did forget to serve me my cheesecake, which was why I deducted one star. Other than that, I would recommend this place -- friendly staff and good food!

  • Maite H.

    This restaurant is not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter a server will bring your dish to you. The presentation of the food is perfect. The mofongo is yummy but a little on the drier side. I had mine with the shrimp and felt the tomato sauce was ok. Someone at my table ordered the corvina with mofongo and felt the fish tasted fresh. I'm still a fan of the mofongo at El Rinconcito de Santa Barbara in Hialeah...although it's a dive they give you the soup to moisten it and the chicharrones in the mofongo make it perfect.

  • Cristina P.

    Service was good - although for the price I would expect table side service. I wouldn't say the mofongo is the best in Miami - maybe the most overpriced, but it was good nonetheless. I had the mofongo with churrasco. The churrasco was very good, good perfectly and seasoned well. But I don't think the meal was worth $20. Next time I go, I'll try something different.

    The only thing Puerto Rican about Jimmy'z is the Mofongo, other than that, it's about as Commonwealth-to-Americana as it gets. While the prices at first seem vague, the selection of high-quality ingredients accompanied by large portions, make the experience worthwhile. For locals, the usual favorites are the Jerked Chicken Breast Salad and Mofongo. For the JCB salad, the sherry vinaigrette is the de facto. There's also the Mofongo, which, I'd recommend as a 'first' when dining at Jimmy'z. Mofongo is a rather typical dish in Puerto Rico, ironically, some of the best -- if not the best -- is dwelling in a contemporary-bistro. Strange, but it's got my respect. They also serve Panini's and Sandwiches, but your main focus here are those two aforementioned. Just yesterday, I broke the ice and tried their Chicken Portobella -- Sauteed chicken breast with portabella mushroom mix and wilted arugula, served over Garlic roasted potatoes --- it was yet another tasty, devouring moment.

    It was LOVE at first BITE!!! I LOVE crab cakes so I'm very particular as to where I order them from. I took a risk with Jimmy'z and I'm glad I did!! They were PERFECT!!! And the greenery on the side was SO fresh. Since it was me AND my group's first visit, we all tasted eachothers foods. I got a few bites of the conch salad: DELICIOUS, the jerk chicken salad: GOOD, the shrimp creole: OKAY, and a glass of wine: :) :). The foods I didn't taste I was told were very good and fresh too. The service was fast and friendly and I LOVED the vibe here. Jimmy'z sits on a corner so by eating outside we got to feel the cool breeze while listening to soft Reggae jams. It was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had in a LONG time. Jimmy'z just gives me one MORE reason to come back and visit my old neighborhood.

    Ehhhh... Its ok.... not great. I would expect more for the anchor restaurant of Wynwood. It's as if they just stole the typical menu of the new Miami restaurant scene and didnt really perfect it. I went there last week during art walk, service was bad drinks were bad... just not great... I give it three stars for the ambiance and the awesomeness of Wynwood

    I LOVE JIMMYzzzzzz! Magnificent mofongo! NOTE: For those of you who don't know mofongo, it's a food , not a curse. The menu is well thought out and the choices are ideal. There's something for everybody - chicken, beef, seafood, and the Puerto Rican staple, pork. The Wynwood location is bigger, louder, more seats indoors and out. There's live entertainment during the weekend. It's also great for lunch. TIP: The mofongo is pretty big. 2 of my colleagues and I shared a mofongo for lunch along with sides. None of us had food-coma.

    How did it take me till a drunken stupor at Art Basel to stumble into Jimmyz? Personally, I really have no idea, but I am glad I finally made it into Jimmyz. The first thing that struck my eye was the art on the glass by Subi Roberto. It is a smaller version of his 'Lightwalkers on 14th Street and NE 2nd Avenue. Finally, I walk in Jimmyz. It is a kitchen style restaurant where you walk up to the plate and order whatever it is you desire for the night. What struck me was the diversity of menu. Jimmyz offers paninis, mofongo, full dinner plates, and an extensive beer list. On this night, I did not try their much acclaimed mofongo, but I did try their Chicken Portabello and Morimoto Hazelnut brewski. We sat down and before I knew it all our food was sitting before us. My Chicken Portabello was a fantastic delight. The broth was wowzers and had an amazing aroma. I struggled to finish the good sized proportions. Oh, Morimoto Hazelnut. How I love thee. It is a roasty, chocolaty, hazelnut mixture of flavor goodness. It is one of my favorite beers and Jimmyz my boy offers it. I will definitely be returning in the near future to try some mofongo and other affordable plates and beers. All hail Jimmyz.

    While it may be unfair to compare siblings, I'm not past doing it. (See my Sushi Samba vs. Sugarcane review.) I'm a huge fan of Jimmyz Kitchen in SoBe, having had one of the best and biggest cobb salads of my life there. With that said, I am so happy to have Jimmy'z close by in Wynwood, and tonight's dinner was fast, tasty, and reasonably priced. The new space is so much larger and more attractive than the SoBe location. The prices and menu give those of us in the area a solid choice from the other higher-end haunts that have popped up here. The shrimp mofongo, a special on Friday's and Saturdays, was bold and perfect as a split app. The cobb salad tonight, while not earth-shattering, made for a perfect entree, and kept me out of my own kitchen. I'll be glad to stay out of Ken'z Kitchen for a visit to Jimmy'z once and awhile.

    One of the best places in Miami to grab a bit. The service was amazing. The chef realized it was my first time and walked me through the menu personally. The menu looks delicious. Hard time deciding what to eat. My buddy had been to the SoBe location and knew what he wanted. I chose the pork mofongo because I had recently seen the dish on a cooking show. Words can not describe how good my selection was. We also had a bottle of wine. Look forward to trying more of the great food.

    "You're not going to get the Mofongo?" WTF is Mofongo, I thought to myself... "Umm, Yeah of COURSE I'm going to get the Mofongo..." This is the only thing you need to worry about ordering. Close your eyes and pick one, you couldn't possibly go wrong. Also note Mofongo is usually only available on FRI/SAT/SUN. The staff is very cool, quick, non intrusive, and they recommended a great beer to me. Be sure to take advantage of their rewards system. For every dollar you spend you get a point (they deliver your points via text message). Create an online account, get 20% off and keep track of the points for more rewards. I love you Jimmy'z Kitchen.

  • Max T.

    Got a gracious email from the owner, and will tone down the original review and make it more constructive criticism, than just criticism. I tried their version of mofongos. The Mofongo has good taste. The tomato base sauce is not the traditional way to serve mofongo, but it was GOOD. Maybe they should offer the traditional sauce as an option for those who know the diffence? The neighborhood is being revived by an influx of new businesses, I would prefer to go in the daytime and not at night. It is located in an apartment building that looks more appropriately placed in Coral Gables, and not, Wynwood. The building is actually a monument for the real estate bubble burst. Unfortunately, the restaurant has no private parking, or security. I was there on a 200+ person night with the DJ/Live Music, and my recommendations are that for such large crowds, the restaurant should add security for the clients, since there is no private parking, and the neighborhood is still in revival mode. When the crowds are that large, one has to park pretty far from the entrance. The churrasco was okay. The Churasco mofongo was $20 with an iced tea. Value wise, not so sure about it. I did notice that the Chicken option was much cheaper. They are getting 200+ people on a weekend night, so I give them props for making Mofongos chic in Miami/Wynwood.

    Reviewing Jimmy'z has been...challenging. Let me explain: Growing up in a Cuban household, everything we touch, speak, write, sing, and produce forth with the power of our caderas is...in a phrase? Lo mejor. The BEST. We built Miami, doncha know. So how do I concede defeat to the clear brilliance in which this Puerto Rican joint uses a plantain? No es fåcil, chico. No es fåcil. But concede I will, because the mofongo here is killin' it, smalls. Doesn't matter how you choose to protein this baby up (shrimp, chicken, beef, pork), the enormous mound of garlicky mashed plantain is the antidote to whatever resaca you might be at war with. Definitely not a one trick caballito, this casual, brightly-colored, loft-like space dishes up a mean scallops in creole sauce (not too chewy, subtly sweet and delicate) and fresh white fish ceviche generously flanked by two tostones the size of a C-band satellite. atomictoasters.com/wp-co… (Did I mention Cubans exaggerate just a teensy weensy bit?) Jimmy'z knows their way around a beer and wine list, and I may have peed in my Vicky's a bit when I saw they carried a bottle from Tempus Alba, a small winery in Mendoza where there hubs and I got schnokered beyond belief and then proceeded to ride two rickety-ass bikes back to our hotel with 12 bottles of wine in tow. Good times. But Jimmy'z, as much as I'm infatuated with your laid-back style, quality ingredients and addictive mofongo...I still gotta give the flan to my peeps. Not that the flan was bad, mind you...far from it! But I'm accustomed to the caramelized custard-like magic that the Cubans dish up...and your version was a bit too "cake-like" for this Cubanita's taste buds. No matter...as I will surely be back and continue to gorge myself upon one Puerto Rican delicacy after another. Besides, both of our Abuela's taught us that anything less than an empty plate is just plain rude.

    If you are visiting the Wynwood Arts District then hit up Jimmy'z! They have great service with everyone here being super friendly. The space is wide open and clean too, and I had the Carne Guisada which was made with super tender beef that was pretty satisfying. I even saw that Jimmy himself was there while I ate which was a nice touch to see the owner there...

    My husband and I had the mofongo and it was hard and had a strange brown color. This is our favorite Puerto Rican dish & never had it this color or texture before. The place & menu were nice and we will go back but not for the mofongo.

    I was first introduced to Jimmy'z Kitchen by my buddy Mario. Hungry and bored we decided to have one of those Friday 'hey let's take a 2 hour lunch break' lunch breaks from work. He ensured us that the place was good and sure enough, it was. Jimmy'z is a sort of casual upscale restaurant where the food is fancy, it's brought to your table via server, but you have to go up to the front to order the food yourself; no waiters/waitresses here. Upon first arrival you'll notice that their menu is quite eclectic. Yes, there is a Spanish theme to it, but there are definitely some things in there that doesn't quite fit any one theme. But honestly, it doesn't really matter. Don't get bogged down trying to read their entire menu and trying to decide what you would like to order. Order their mofongo and sit down. Which one you ask? It doesn't matter. Close your eyes and point to one. They're all delicious. Don't know what mofongo is? Don't worry, its delicious. Upon first bite you'll instantly be transported to a sort of Puertorican nirvana where you'll meet your grandmother (oh you didn't know you were Puertorican?) and give her a big kiss for making you this meal. Yes, I'm a bit obsessed but trust me, you try their mofongo, you will be too. I am happy to say that I have turned some of my friends on to this place and they love it as well. That being said, I definitely recommend that you come here.

  • Marc R.

    Came here this past Art Walk Saturday and liked what we ordered. The pork mofongo and seared ahi tuna salad were delicious. The ceviche starter was tasty and fresh as well but the portion was ridiculously small. Definitely wouldn't recommend it for more than one person. The other thing I had a problem with here was the ordering line situation as its very casual and cuts right through the middle of the dining area. So be ready to be blocked in by a wall of humanity and the very real possibility of having someone's rear end right next to your face while you dine. You'd think that the line would be situated to one side or the other out of the way and not cut in between tables.

    **4 1/2 Stars** Came here Friday night after MONTHS of hearing about and dying to try Jimmy'z Kitchen! I wasn't disappointed (other then the fact that I can't buy a Shooger deal from them! ) I had the soup of the day which was Tomato and Zucchini it was outrageously good, and the Puerco al Mojo Mofongo which was INCREDIBLE!! I can't wait to come back and try all the Mofongos and well...just about everything else on the menu too!!! See you soon Jimmy'z Kitchen Wynwood!

    Impressive. Charming. Subtle. Easy. Friendly. From the moment you're driving up you can see the colorful, friendly vibe. The menu has a strong variety and so you might find yourself taking a bit longer than usual to decide but that's a quality problem. Upon approaching the counter my friend and I were delighted by Javier's (the manager) positive demeanor. We ordered: - bolitas de queso - charcuterie platter - mussels - steak frites - caramel apple cheese cake After you order, take your number and the dishes will be brought to your table, shortly. All the food was good. I'd heard Jimmy'z was good but this was GOOD! I picked up my phone and texted a friend immediately telling him he had to stop by. I just had to share my new found quality casual dining destination. Oh.... I think I have a new love! If the weather is nice I'd recommend sitting outside. Thanks to a good wine and craft beer selection you can also consider this for a happy hour scene. Even better? They were playing great tunes while I was there. Proof that some people think about the entire user experience. Once again: Impressive. Charming. Subtle. Easy. Friendly.

    After reading a nice review for Jimmyz in the New Times not too long ago my bf and I decided we had to give it a try. Neither one of us had ever had mofango before so I didn't really know what to expect. All of the options sounded good but we decided to split the Shrimp Mofango and the Real and Rustic Sandwich which had roast beef, melted Brie and caramelized onions. The mofango was very satistying and very filling too! I found the real and rustic sandwich to be good but nothing special. We left stuffed and happy! I will definitely be back again. Next time I'll try a different mofango and maybe one of their delicious looking and sounding salads for our second item.

    We stopped by on a Saturday for lunch. There weren't a lot of people there, so the service was great. We got the food out fairly quickly, and the staff was very attentive. We ordered the Shrimp Mofongo, and a Beef Stew/Carne Guisada. The Mofongo was absolutely delicious. I've never had anything quite like it. The Beef Stew was standard fare. The portions were large, and a party of two left really full.

    I love how casual and laid back this place is. Every time I go there, I get great, personable service and I always leave with a full and happy belly. Their mofongo is on point, though sometimes the puerco is a little salty for my taste. Their seafood selections are also delicious. Perfectly cooked every time I've had something there. I really enjoyed their mussels in a creole tomato sauce, and a mixed seafood dish cooked in a saffron broth with jasmine rice. Great beer and wine selection. Also great espresso. Wish I could try the dessert but I always end up stuffing myself with the delicious savory dishes! Just ease up on the salt for the puerco and it would be absolutely perfect.

    The bomb, mofongo straight from Puerto Rico. The churrasco is a great combo as well and they sell Medalla which seems to be appearing all around Miami. If you want to re-live your roots as a Boricua I highly recommend this place as a sanctuary for your tastebuds.

    4.5 Stars only because they dont have a bloody mary to go along with my lunch (but great selection of wine & beer)! Great food, great new location in Midtown/Wynwood area, and awesome owner in Jimmy! We just had some his famous Mofongo, along with an ahi tuna salad, and a chicken panini to round it off. If I had room, I probably would have had the conch salad on tostones and bolitas de queso which I order almost every time I go. I have also used Jimmys catering for some special events Ive had which I also recommend if you want something a little different for your party. TIP: Make sure to "check in" with YELP and FOURSQUARE as it gives you an automatic free cafecito every time you "check in". Other freebies include free dessert, free meals, and nice group discounts with the "text points" you earn with every one of purchases. You receive them on your phone before you even sit down. Nice modern space, great menu, and cool incentives adds another great option to the Midtown hood!

    We were on the way to Morgan's for an early dinner when we saw Jimmy'z. Recalling all the great reviews on Yelp, we decided to veer off and try it. We ordered the churrasco mofongo and the chicken mofongo. The mofongo itself was very good, but the churrasco and the chicken were barely average. The $17 price tag should warrant more quality. Not helping the experience was our decision to sit outside. We were asked for money a few times by homeless people in the area. Adding to that was a shirtless man walking around with a stick....something that never makes me feel too comfortable. I'll probably check it out again due to all these positive reviews, but it will be for a salad or sandwich and I'll sit inside.

    Jimmy'z Kitchen is THE SHIT. If you're ever sitting at home, and it's getting pretty late- don't want to go out? Jimmy'z comes to you. Great food at extraordinary prices. From the Dominican 'Mofongo' to the classic (yet tasty) Steak Sandwich, this joint has got it all. Centrally located in Wynwood (near Midtown)- Jimmy'z is always happy to serve or deliver. The staff is some of the friendliest around and the turn-around is great! The last time I ordered from here- I got my order in about 15 minutes. I always laugh when I have friends over and they want to order pizza because 'it's all that is really available'. This is when I pull out my Jimmy'z Kitchen menu and watch those eyes widen up. Good job, JKW- keep it up.

    Very kool fun place to go for lunch or brunch. A big fan of their caprese, nicoise, & arugula salads & most of their sandwiches. A decent wine selection too for Sunday brunch and a new favorite item we found was "Morimoto" beer - never knew he had a beer line until now. Inside you will find it has open spaces with high ceilings ( very NY loft) vibe. Love the color contrast and the whole aestethic apeal or you can choose to sit outside as well.

    Breakfast was off da hook. Service a rare five too, in this rudebwoy (or girl) town. Don't sleep on Jimmy. It's a classic style diner and servings are plentiful. Coffee refills with your breakfast are nonstop! I tried French Toast, pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Writing about it brings back good thoughts..

    I have not Yelped in a while because most of the places I have gone to have been between 2 and 4 stars; and to be honest, unlike some people in here who have over a thousand yelps, I tend to be a little more selective when giving a review. Having said that, I was a little hesitant about Jimmy Z's, after all the location is not in the best of neighborhoods, but I decided to give it a try anyway, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was great! and the staff was friendly, and very helpful. I did not try the Mofango, but after reading the many reviews about it, I will be sure to go back and try it out. Five stars all the way!

    Delicious food: Check Quality ingredients: Check Good affordable prices: Check Great beer selection: Check Friendly staff: Check Jimmy'z Kitchen is definitely not a place to miss! Many of my puertorrican friends have been plenty of times, but I had been out of the loop and still hadn't stepped in Jimmy'z, and I'm SO glad I finally did. 1 - Jerk Chicken Salad: wow!! The jerk rub on the chicken had the perfect kick to it, combined with the sweetness of mango, refreshing cucumbers and tomatoes and the creaminess of avocado makes this perfect comination of ingredients! They were all so fresh too! 2 - "La Tripleta" panini: a different take on the usual "3am puertorrican sandwhich", but nonetheless delicious!! The 3 meats are: pork, black forest ham and bacon, add to that provolone cheese and caramelized onions, all pressed inside a perfectly warm and crusty cuban bread... Wanna order it already? 3 - Mofongo: It feels so good to find a place in Miami where you can enjoy a real rendition of this staple in our cuisine. You can have it alone, or with any of their protein options. This time I had it alone, and I will definitely order it again.. only thing I would "change" is to add a bit more garlic but regardless it's a must!! 4 - Desserts: Coconut Flan - A whole lot of coconut and not much flan but very good, and I loved the taste of the caramel!! Guava Cheesecake - Very good as well. I really like that it has the guava all over the top, I would only add a tad bit more of cheese to the cake itself. (that's the "cheese fan" in me talking). I left wanting to try their Rum Raisin bread pudding, which I was told it their best-seller... Can't wait to go back and order it! Their 5 stars are well deserved...their menu is varied and offers enough selections to attend to anyone's cravings. I will definitely frequent this place, and I recommend everyone to do so as well!

    Real Housewife of New Jeresy, Teresa Giudice may have come out with a new cookbook called "Fabulicious" but there's nothing fabulous or delicious about her, her desperate attempts to get out of self-inflicted debt, or her ape-like hairline. The silly, fleeting-in-coolness, made up adjective is better suited describing Jimmyz in Wynwood. Not too pricey or pretentious, considering the neighborhood (and it's about time they did something with that creepy empty space they've had chilling by Circa/Electric Pickle/whatever the fuck it is now -- the name always changes, the place stays the same), Jimmyz is a nice, clean, stainless steel spot with pops of oranges, greens, and magentas that boasts a aromatic smell of pure awesomeness. It's a nice lunch or a casual T-shirt-and-jeans-but-I'd-also-like-a-nice-glass-­of-wine-please kind of dinner restaurant. The food is pretty stellar considering its laid back nature -- you order at a counter, take a number, and wait for your food. I ordered the Nicoise salad that came with seared ahi tuna, boiled potatoes, slices of egg, roasted red peppers, olives, and chopped tomatoes -- pretty tasty! I also sampled a little of the charcuterie platter which was a fancy honey-drizzled cheese plate with yummy mounds of prosciutto, gorgonzola, pecorino, manchego, pieces of toast, and a side cup of gherkins and olives. Left pretty satisfied. Can't wait to come back and try out their rum raisin bread pudding!

    An ideal candidate for a 4 1/2 rating, this place was generally very good. I thought the environment was hip and cozy. The food was well above average. I had the tripleta which was ham, bacon, and pork with sauted onions and melted cheese on cuban bread. It had a very nice porky flavor to it. Savory and bold without being overpowering. I also had the churrasco and mofongo dish. I am a big fan of mofongo and this was some of the better mofongo I have had. It was very nicely done. The steak was well seasoned, but I felt like it was a tad on the chewy side for my personal tastes. That was my one small complaint about the food. It was all very tasty and the menu had a bunch of stuff on it that I would want to try. My other criticism is that this place is a little on the expensive side. Sure the food is good, but $35 for a sandwich, some drinks, and mofongo is expensive. But with that being said, I found the meal to be quite satisfying and I wil most likely be returning.

    I didn't get to try the mofongo, but the turkey sandwich (turkey is roasted in house) is sooo good. I'm such a sucker for tomato anything so I loved the sun dried tomato pesto they used instead of mayo. Please get more than tempranillo by the glass though....everything is by the bottle only!

  • Natalia G.

    SO glad Jimmyz opened a new location in Wynwood. It's spacious, clean, has wifi, and most of all, the employees are always so nice. I always opt for an entree - the mojo pork is delicious, and if you're on a no-carb diet, they're happy to sub out the rice for an avocado-tomato salad. And the portions are GENEROUS, which is great, because the plate is like $13 (more than the average lunch). They also have a nice selection of beers/wines and dessert. Yum all around.

    I have to admit that I fell into the pre-opening hype of this new spot. The person who tweets on their behalf @jimmyzwynwood really knows how to get folks interested via social media! They tweeted their menu, I clicked and it looked YUM! Since I visited 3 hours after their soft opening, I expected to see some quirks (as is common w/ restaurants). Not only was everything seamless, the food was even better than I had pictured! All of the employees were friendly & seemed genuinely excited to be there, which is really nice. This place totally has the potential to be a great everyday spot. The decor is hip & casual enough where it doesn't feel stuffy. The food is tasty & sets itself apart from the other hip restaurants popping up in town. There was a great beer & wine selection, but I didn't get to try any of those selections this time (workday). My only disappointment was that I was in a hurry & didn't see their "Specials" board. They had ceviche... but my grilled veggie panini falls into the WIN category & I can try the ceviche next time. WIN: - delivery - great selection (plenty of vegetarian selections too) - hip decor - tasty FAIL: - ? All in all, this is a WIN

    Went here this Past Saturday for Second Saturdays Artwalk. This is order at counter and sit with a number kind of place but don't be mistaken that the food is any less of quality. I had the churrasco steak mofongo and it was yummy. For 17.95 i thought it was a little steep but it was delicious. I also had a side salad for 2.25 which was a good portion and tasty. They have a nice wine selection but no fountain drinks which is a disappointment for Coke lovers. On Saturdays they have different live latin bands that play outdoors that really liven the place up. The place was rockin till 11pm with tables that are put outside for the crowds that you really get to feel the Miami latin beat. All in all Jimmy'z is an experience especially on Saturdays that I will definitely make a return for some Mofongo and to shake my gringo culo to the latin beat.

    Jimmy'z Kitchen has some REALLY good average food. I've eaten here and had food delivered to my place. Both times I've gotten really full and satisfied from what I've chosen and received fantastic service. 1. Creole Shrimp: Comes with jasmine rice and a bunch of shrimp in sauce. No unique or unusual tastes here, just satisfying. 2. Ahi Tuna: OK, but would skip. Nothing to write home about. 3. Cobb Salad: That was a damn good cobb salad. 4. Cubano Sandwich: 3.5 out of 5. It's fine, does the job. The big winner at Jimmy'z is the wine list. We enjoyed a delicious bottle of wine the chef recommended - most bottles here are between $20-$30. For dessert, we had coconut flan which was good. Since they made an honest mistake with my order, we received it complimentary which was really nice of them to do. And although it's super minor - they make a kick-ass espresso. Jimmy'z fills the "I don't want to cook dinner but I don't want to spend all of my eating out budget" void in my heart. I'll definitely be back!

    Thank you yelp for introducing me to this place. I tried it for lunch last week and fell in love. They have a nice selection of salads. I had the chicken fajita salad and it was delicious. It had all kinds of goodies, corn, tortilla chips, etc. The hubby had the Asian chicken salad and it also had all kinds of goodies like nooddles. The hummus was yummy. We also had the mofongo and it was fire. They deliver to my job which is always a plus because not alot of places deliver them. Jimmy'z will see me again. I want to try the happy hour menu because they had a ton of wine options.

  • Gus M.

    This review could just be one and done by just saying the word Mofongo. I'll try to actually make it a lengthy review, here we go. We ordered delivery on a Saturday night, it came within the time they said it would. I got the forgettable Creole chicken, my girlfriend tried their decent try at mojo Cuban pork (fails to compare to mom/dad/grandma/grandpa's version). But, OH MY the MOFONGO. I must have more. And I didn't know I could order it with stuff like churrasco, chicken and shrimp, as I'm seeing on Yelp! Do I simply ASK them to do this? Does it cost extra? I need answers.

  • Samira K.

    Not sure what the hype is, but I just didn't enjoy it all that much. I guess it was overly hyped up, and so I expected much more than I got. I ordered the Mofongo with pork since I felt like that was what I NEEDED to try from there, however, it was definitely nothing out of this world. I tried my girlfriend's chicken creole and It was just OK as well. Also, I ordered a side ceasar salad, and I am not the type to drench my lettuce in dressing, on the contrary, I prefer it on the dry side, but they basically put no dressing at all and when we asked for a bit more, they charged an extra $.50, and while that is not much at all, it seemed ridiculous considering they really hardly put dressing to begin with. My gf said the espresso was good. I had their guava cheesecake, and that was probably the best part of my meal. So yeah, It was not boggling, I probably would opt. for another restaurant next time I am in the area.

    This restaurant is located in a kind of weird/sketchy part of Wynwood where there aren't a lot of other businesses around. However, once you actually go inside, the place is awesome. Came here with my two best friends, and it felt very "Sex and the City" (the series, not the terrible movies). We talked for hours, while enjoying Jimmy'z yum yums. I opted for the Chicken Portabella entree (a sauteed chicken breast topped with portabella mushrooms, sitting atop wilted arugula and garlic roasted potatoes), which was great, except just a bit too watery. I would've preferred less mushroom "juice." One of my friends got the jerk chicken salad, and loved it. I didn't catch what my other friend munched on (it was a sandwich though), but she seemed to really like it as well. My entree was only $10, which is pretty great for the amount of food. Got myself a cortadito after the meal, which was also quite perfect. The service was great! The two servers attended us quickly, brought our food out even faster and stopped by our table multiple times to check up on us. By the way, at Jimmy'z you place your order at a counter/register, they give you a number and you put it on your table for the food to be brought to you. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Also, there's free parking available on the street, something I also thought you would care to know. The atmosphere here is also wonderful. There's upbeat music playing, and it's decorated with bright colors, which to me is a huge plus. Gotta say, I will probably return for lunch one of these days.

  • Maria T.

    Rumor among the foodie set is that the mofongo and jerk chicken salad at Jimmy'z is not to be missed. So like the gourmand groupie that I am, I took the little brother here for lunch today and was not let down. Both items were ridiculously scrumptious and there's something to be said of the warm-natured staff, large-portioned sizes, swift cooking and wallet-friendly prices. I'm also a sucker for modern, airy spaces and Jimmy'z decor fits the bill. All in all, another winner in Wynwood.

  • Dan R.

    Overpriced. Asked for extra salad dressing and they charged me $2.00. Entire menu is hit or miss. I've been multiple times only bc its walking distance to my office and I hate driving for lunch. They've also mixed up my order 1/3 of the time. It always seems like staff doesn't understand their POS terminals and have a nervous breakdown while they mess up everyone's orders.

    I am out of town and came here for dinner. This turned out to be my dining worst experience ever. The burger was grossly undercooked to the point that I had to throw it up because it made me feel sick. I just wanted cappuccino to settle my stomach and their machine on my cup. So yeah.. not fun experience at all.

  • JoCat R.

    Yummy!! We came here after a horrible experience at KUSH. We ordered the bolitas de queso and they were delish!!!! Fresh and hot. My bf ordered the steak frites with rice and fries and I ordered the Churrasco Mofongo. Both entrees were delicious. The Mofongo had too much creole sauce which over powered the dish. The other reason why I didn't rate them 5 stars is because I think that the prices are a little high for a order at the register restaurant vs server taking your order at your table. But overall it was great and would recommend it!!

    Minutes away from Wynwood walls and definitely worth the walk. After you get the famous and very fulfilling mofongo make sure to grab a cookie. They are oh so good. Oh! And check in on yelp if you want a free coffee. ;)

  • Biancs R.

    Worst pork moron go I've ever had. It probably wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't for the price. 17$ for a soggy, salty mofongo. I was impressed when I saw it was 17$ but thought perhaps was gonna be outstanding. So disappointed. Mofongo is meant to be dry. With fried pork. Sauce on the side. This was mushy, soggy and just bad for 17$. The kale quinoa salad was ok. The dressing was made with apple cider vinegar and tasted nothing like it as described. Perhaps there are better things at this place and I was just not lucky. The service was good. Super friendly. That star goes to them.

    I wanted to give this place more stars but I couldn't ... It used to be much better. The food quality is down & no professional service anymore. My fav plate was the Ahi seared tuna special: Tuna Overcooked!! Rice undercooked. I also ordered a Greek salad it's quite good & price is fair $7.99, I asked to add shrimp side to it I get 4 shrimps for $10.25! More than the price of the salad itself. Btw I've attached a picture of the shrimp side & receipt. You wouldn't pay $2 for these shrimps! Very disappointed with food quality & their "professional" response to customers complains. Will take my business somewhere else

  • Letty M.

    If you want awesome mofongo you must come here. It's perfectly made. The shrimp mofongo is my favorite. If your allergic to shellfish the Churrasco is my next choice. For appetizers, try the cheese balls. Very good filled with yellow cheese. You order and they bring the food to your table kind of style. True Puerto Rican mofongo

  • Laura W.

    Jimmy'z is pretty far off the beaten path as far as graffiti walls go. You walk through four blocks of houses to get there. Service is fast, and the jerk chicken salad was good. The espresso had no crema, and was only mediocre. Plenty of indoor seating and it was air conditioned. Still, there are other places more in the heart of it all.

    In a perfect world, everybody would have an eatery like Jimmy's in their neighborhood. The giant menu seems to be saying: "come to me, children from all corners of the world". He has it all to satisfy a wide variety of hunger moods, from hearty home made dishes that seem as if just made by grandma, to lighter sandwiches and salads, decadent desserts and a great selection of beers and wines to join the feast. Whenever faced with food cravings' confusion, I head to Jimmy's knowing that all my questions will be answered, my belly will be filled with flavorful delights and my heart with bliss.

    My boyfriend and I stopped here while walking into the Wynwood neighborhood (we were staying off 27th and Biscayne). It's at the bottom floor of apartment buildings and very cute inside with outdoor seating. My sandwich (I cannot remember the name) was very good but it was extremely hard to tear apart which is frustrating when you're hangry.

    My boyfriend and I usually go to the jimmyz kitchen on Alton road in Miami. We love this place! So today we decided to be adventurous and try this jimmyz kitchen. It is located in a suburban area close to Canvas Miami and across the street from Suviche. This place is clean and small. We order at the front and they deliver it to our table. They have outside and inside tables. When i left, I realize they was a back room too. The food here is delicious! I got a free espresso when I checked it (thumbs up for freebies!). I order the Cuban mojo pork and my boyfriend order the panini. I loved the mojo pork! We always get it with the Spanish orange drink! It's a bubbly soda. The sandwich on the other hand was not so great! There was nothing special about it. For dessert, we got the caramel flan! I totally recommend it!!! Great service! Will be back.

  • Angel B.

    Eating at Jimmy's is like eating at home, of course that's assuming you have a personal chef, they are my go to place whenever I'm feeling hungry, they are fast, they have great service and food is good! At Jimmy's you can find something for everybody, from great tasting salads to actual plates that can feed even the hungriest dude. One of my favorite things to eat here are the desserts, they have a great variety and a lot of them are Hispanic inspired, but what I love the most are the cookies! You wouldn't believe the flavors they have, they make this captain crunch one, which is just as good as it sounds, and a guava with coconut, do I need to say more? If you decide to visit them I will highly recommend to start either with the "Bolitas de queso" or the "Arañitas" trust me, you don't need to know what this words mean, you just need to order them. But if you are like me, and you're trapped in an office, you can go ahead and place a delivery order, these guys are always super helpful and food always arrives in time and in great shape. Give it a try! It's not fancy, it's not fine dining, is a place where you eat like you're at home.

    Soooo I am not sure what is the good dish in this place..... I thought it was the mofongo but that is not the case.... In my honest opinion I'm not sure if the place is advertised as Puerto Rican cuisine but just FYI I really do not believe they make real PR food... However, it is a good mix of different Caribbean dishes. I am sad to say that the food was not good so we will not be going back. There was no "sazón" in their dishes which was a huge dissapointment. Not sure what is the type of food they are serving in this restaurant... I guess if I did not know Latin food, I will think this is great food but then again is that what they serve here....? There was Asian noodles to jerk chicken... Not Latin to my understanding..... I may not be able to capture the essence of this establishment so I do not know what people like about it. We ordered the Mofongo with churrasco.... Mofongo is a very traditional dish in Puerto Rico. churrasco is a good option for steak in Puerto Rico but carne frita will be the most traditional option with mofongo. However, I know we are in Miami so a twist is always good but in this place not only did the food came out cold but it was flavorless and not traditional. If you know PR food, they use "adobo" and sazón in almost every dish if not in all, which was not the case here, but then again they might not be cooking Puerto Rican food.... Who knows...? Ahí tuna was drowned in a peanut sauce, not sure which country is that from maybe Thai food... However, I love Thai food and this dish didn't taste like it. I'm very confused... Ah!! I know what was good here... Dessert!!! The guava cheesecake was delicious and probably the closest thing to Puerto Rican cuisine. However, a real traditional one is" cascos de guayaba con queso blanco" so this is a good twist, guava cheesecake, bravo for that!! I am not sure what is going on with this place but if this place opens up in PR or DR I doubt it will stay open for more than a week. Good thing they are in Miami. I can't recommend this place because I don't understand it. It reminds me of cheesecake factory which they master nothing but they do make a little bit of everything. That concept is popular with many so best wishes.

    I came out here on a Friday night and was less than impressed. This was my 3rd time here and will now be my last. Although the food was not bad, there is so much more that has left me dissatisfied. First of all, the parking situation around this place is disgusting because it's not safe and hard to find. So freaking inconvenient! Second, I find it unacceptable that this place ran out of shrimp on a Friday night around 6:45pm when you don't close until 11pm. I came here for the Shrimp Mofongo and you tell me that you don't have it with this attitude too, like its not a big deal BUT IT IS TO ME since I came out of the way for that. The staff could have been more apologetic and tried harder to make it up to me, but it seems like it's simply not their problem. Just great... Third, as I sat there in your establishment, I am indoors being eaten alive by mosquitoes while I'm trying to eat my food. Such a bad experience! If I can muster enough forgiveness after this, I may see if your other locations are better than this one but I will not be coming back to this location.

    Once again, dined at this food gem! Can't go wrong with the mofongo-anything, but this time I tried the jerk chicken salad which brings avocados, mango, tomato and almonds in a sherry vinaigrette. Their fried yuquitas are accompanied with a red pepper aioli, which is a definite awesome choice to start off with, especially if your sharing the dish. If you have a sweet craving once done, I recommend the rocky road cookie, or as I call it the brookie- a brownie cookie. You could thank me afterwards. Enjoy.

    The service has diminished and the neighborhood is not that safe. Listen, I drove here for their shrimp dishes.1st-they ran out of shrimp since earlier that day yet there's a lot shrimp dishes throughout their menus. And it was a Friday evening-the time when people love coming out to eat and they could not run somewhere to buy shrimp? Come on! In addition to that when I go to redeem my free cup of espresso for a Yelp "check-in", I asked for a little milk or half and half on the side because sometimes espresso is way to strong for me and the lady told me that it wouldn't be a promotion if she gives me cream and she would have to charge me...WHAT??? she could of just used that opportunity to provide great service and just given me some freakin' creamer! Ok...let's talk food-it's pretty tasty-but they should take better inventory of their food for busy weekends. The parking-not that convenient and not that safe-last time that I was there someone broke a lady's car window and stole something. I parked like some feet away and someone spray painted the side of my car. The service-could be Much much better. The prices-too pricey for the quality of the food and the danger of the neighborhood. **Note: It's risky but try coming here for the mofongo and their paninis for a lunch date. The food is good but don't be shocked if the service is mediocre. So, check it out...I ordered the Mojo Pork, which was tasty! I also ordered their cheese cake and brownie, which is good but WAAAAAY over priced. I wish that my experience here was worth my trip here BUT it really wasn't. Tha Yelp Daddy was really disappointed!!!!

    This was a great find on a great corner in Wynwood. We went for an early lunch on Sunday afternoon and the place was empty, but that certainly wasn't because of the food. It's nestled in the bottom corner of an apartment complex, just a few steps away from a few other cool stored and restaurants. Street parking is plentiful here - don't forget to feed the meter. The menu here is big, but I think there's really only one reason to come here: Mofongo. We went with the Churrasco Mofongo, which was a perfectly cooked skirt steak drizzled and surrounded by two great sauced on their amazon mofongo. The steak was tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked and the portion size was massive. I'm still craving it today. We also started with their delicious fried cheese balls. I was hoping to eat "light" that day, but it just wasn't happening here. We also had a nice chopped salad, which wasn't anything special, but perfectly good. (Let's be honest, you don't come here for the salad, anyway). It should also be noted that they have a massive selection of beers, beverages, cookies and desserts - none of which I partook in, but I'm looking forward to them the next time I'm back.

    I've been meaning to leave this review, so here it goes: I love Jimmyz kitchen. I've ordered there countless times since I live about 10 minutes away from the restaurant. Each time I've been left satisfied, no doubt. However this time Jimmyz kitchen totally completely just dropped the ball. We ordered delivery on a Tuesday. Called at 7:19pm, a girl answered, took our order blah blah blah, told us it was going to be 45 minutes..ok. Called again at 8:22pm to check the status of our order, we were hung up on Called at 8:37pm. jimmy (Jimmyz kitchen jimmy) said he was going to call the driver..ok. Also never apologized, sounded a tad annoyed to be honest. Called at 8:40pm asking jimmy if the driver is lost? Said he was going to call the driver again..ok Called at 8:59pm, someone hung up on us again Driver arrived at 9pm, checked the order and we never got one item which was the mango cheesecake..we still got charged for it Called at 9:11pm, someone hung up on us again... The burgers we ordered looked like they just threw it inside the container, we wanted our burgers well done.. Far from it. Tomato inside the burger looked like it was rotten, fries were extremely soggy. We ate it anyway because after waiting all that time, we were starving. Called back and Jimmy offered us a free cheesecake after our lengthy verbal complaint on the phone but I don't think it makes up for the fact that the owner is there at the restaurant and still our experience was horrendous, tells me a lot. All in all Jimmyz went from our #1 favorite place to a place we are absolutely never eating at again.

    Not easy to get mofongo right but they have done it at Jimmy's. I had chicken with mofongo and it was delicious. Very nice and attentive employees.

    Even though we were a large group and got there late on a holiday Monday, they took our order and the food came out in a timely manner and was delicious! Great Location! Great Staff! Great Beer & Wine Selection! Absolutely Great Mofongo! Highly recommend the Pork Mofongo with the Mojo Sauce - Pure Lechon Goodness on a plate!

    People had mentioned this restaurant to me a few times, so I was excited to try something new and also have lunch with my hubby. So we get in and wait at the counter for a few mins before someone comes to the register and takes our order and he had somewhat of a sour face. Apparently he didn't want to be there or who knows what's going on, but you gotta fake it till you make it when you're working with people and at least smile once and greet them. But then again, now that I think about it, I don't think I really saw any of the employees being friendly and smiling, so maybe that's a criteria for being hired here. My husband had mentioned it takes a little bit to get the food, but I didn't think it would have taken as long as it did to get two sandwiches (about 15-20 mins). It wasn't even that busy because the lunch rush had passed (it was 2 pm). Once we got the food it looked good, but I soon realized that $10 for my sandwich (Sobe Club) was a total rip off! It comes with lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil pesto and prosciutto on ciabatta bread. But the prosciutto was barely there, all I got was ONE super duper thin slice of prosciutto. The sandwich was mostly some very fat pieces of mozzarella. I understand it's in Wynwood and they have a nice place so the rent is probably high, plus paying the employees that don't smile, but I expected more. I expected to be able to really taste the prosciutto. I think I would've been satisfied with two super duper thin slices, cause the one didn't cut it. My husband had the Cubano sandwich. I didn't try it because it had mustard, which I don't like, but he said he liked it. It looked pretty decent though and it had several slices of meat, unlike mine. Needless to say I don't think I would jump at the chance to come back here anytime soon, nor would I tell anyone to go there. There's so many great places in Wynwood to eat, I feel that they have some work to do to come up to par with them.

    Want to send a shout out to Noel... It's associates like this that makes the difference between a good dining experience and a great dining experience. Thanks Noel! You're indeed an asset (IMHO) to Jimmy'z. Every time I've come Noel alway has a great disposition, attentive, polite and above all this dude (used with sincere endearment) is always smiling when he engagingly customers. Again thanks brutha! Also shot out to the kitchen staff for consistently creating and serving up delicious dishes. You guys are awesome.

    My boyfriend and I visited Jimmy'z Kitchen while wandering around Wynwood for the day. We had read great Yelp reviews and knew we had to check it out. The restaurant was easy to find and we really loved that there was outdoor seating to take advantage of. I had the chicken fajita salad which was very tasty but HUGE! The salad could have easily fed my boyfriend and I and we would have been full. The prices were also very reasonable. We paid $20 for a lunch that fed us both and we had leftovers.

    For those of you who don't know mofongo is a fried plantain-based dish, which originated in Puerto Rico. It is typically made with fried green plantains, mashed together in a pilón (a wooden mortar and pestle), with some garlic, olive oil and then you add in your protein. You can have it with shrimp, chicken, beef, or my favorite, pork. Considering all of this my friends over at Jimmy'z Kitchen know what they are doing when it comes to making their mofongo - in my opinion, the best in Miami. Besides having the most delicious mofongo in the city they also serve up some pretty delicious plates. For example, for your appetizer you should be trying their yuca frites. And if you are a plantain lover like me order the arañitas, which is essentially shredded fried plantain served with "Puerto Rican sauce," i.e. mayo and ketchup. Oh, and if you are cheese lover then order the bolitas de queso with guava sauce. Enough said. What's really cool about Jimmy'z Kitchen fast casual concept is that Jimmy makes sure to have healthier options on his menu as well. I personally love the fajita salad with chicken. It comes stacked with peppers, corn, cheddar jack cheese, with mixed greens, and topped with tortilla chips. Last but not least, let's talk dessert. We were told that Jimmy's abuela actually trained those in the kitchen and taught them how to make her homemade desserts. The two I recommend you try are the coconut flan and the guava cheesecake. I would order both if I were you. That's how good they are.

    I hate to downgrade a favorite restaurant, but I'm hoping it serves as an intervention for them to get back to the service and food I loved! I came by yesterday for a "family dinner" with my mother after picking up my dog from the nearby groomer since Jimmy'z has provided tasty, "parent safe" food in a dog friendly environment. However, our greeting (female hostess) was rude when I walked in to place my order. I know dogs aren't allowed IN the restaurant as I have eaten there before but since you guys don't provide table service. Cashier service could have been a little friendlier. The cashier was visibly impatient as my mother was trying to figure out what to order. Speaking of doggie, unlike previous times we had to ask twice to have water brought out for her. To their credit, the two bussers were pleasant and one star remains because of the bussers who acknowledged my fur child. Another star remains for the bolitas de queso (cheese balls with guava sauce) and aranitas de platano (fried green plantains). The rest of the food was forgettable, and about half of the order was left on the plate. The black beans tasted straight from out of the can, with no added seasoning. In contrast, the potato slices that came with the hamburger were extremely salty. Both my burger and mima's churrasco tasted a touch undercooked even though we requested medium well. Please, Jimmy'z Wynwood, here's hoping you bring back that quality service that made me a fan!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Miami! I go as often as I can. If you haven't visited yet, I would suggest EVERYTHING! Let pretend you'd close your eyes and point at a random menu item, I'm certain you will enjoy the surprise! Jimmy'z Kitchen creates most of my favorite Spanish-Caribbean dishes, they cater to those looking to square off inches from their wastes, have great options for the everyday sandwich lover and make amazing desserts! What I like most (other than the food duh!) is the customer service from their staff. I don't care how good the food can be at any given location, if the customer service is not right, I won't return. Head over to Jimmy'z and order their fried queso balls so that you can dip them in the best fruit God has created: GUAYABA!

  • Emily T.

    Clean restaurant with well polished bathrooms. Slightly pricier than what I would've thought this restaurant to be. A casual environment where you order your food first, take a number and the staff delivers the food to your table. I ordered the skirt steak for $16 and was impressed. Although I thought the rice and beans that came with it were dry and mediocre. My friend ordered chips and hummus that came out to $10. Thought that was over-priced. The food doesn't compare to real Miami cuban food but I would come back.

  • Brenda F.

    Very good mofongo!! Seared tuna was yummy too only thing was rice wasnt so tasty as I expected. My boyfriend also ordered a side of beans and rice and he said it was lacking flavor. However FLAN was outstanding just as good as the one his grandma makes so we will def will come back.

    Located two blocks away from wynwood walk! So we stopped by for lunch after a short visit around wynwood neighborhood!! Their mojo pork was very tender, onion flavor was infused into the pork! Jerked chicken salad was good! Chicken breast was not that dry, and jerk sauce was slightly spicy! Very good place for a quick lunch around that neighborhood!

  • Fatima S.

    Disappointed :-/ The only thing worth having from our meal of bolitas de queso, aranitas, churrasco mofongo, coconut AND caramel flan was the flan. The cheese balls were ok, the rest left a lot to be desired. The nats continuously harassed me while I ate so that made it uncomfortable.

  • Adrianna U.

    Loved it. After a really hot day visiting the walls, my friends were hungry. Quickly yelp searched and found this place a block over. I had the portebello chicken. I love mushrooms and the potatoes were great and tasty. No complaints. My friends had the prime burger, and one commented saying it was the best burger she ever had. SO i'll assume it wasn't too bad. Wasnt too crowded, and the A/C made me happy. Prices weren't as bad as i expected. I paid like 11 dollars and i was so full after the chicken.

    Jimmy's is great. It's fast but healthy, which is hard to find. Their portions are nice, especially with their salads. You will definitely be full from a soup and salad. I've had the ahi tuna and Greek salad multiple times, both delicious, seasoned well, and filling. Definitely will continue to come back.

    I am a great fan of JK and have been referring people since writing my initial review. I have to update you to say make sure you dine-in as the delivery order was abysmal. Today we ordered hummos, creole chicken and the churrasco with soup and an extra side of maduros. The hummos came looking stale, and the supposedly crisp toast was packaged with the wet hummos and and salad and reached us as an unholy, pappy mess - photo attached of the hummos. The frijoles that came with the churrasco were unpalatable. The maduros side -photo also attached - were the wrong side of caramelized, with a distinct burnt taste. However for me, the most disappointing thing was asking for a side of their great home-made chili sauce which was forgotten. I didn't want to be obnoxious by repeating myself on the phone and pissing off the staff and unfortunately I won't be ordering again. I will eat in but I recommend you do not get delivery. I hope JK can take a bit more care over the quality of the food they let leave their kitchen, especially since I received an email recently asking for my vote for some best in Miami competition.

    Nice bet for a fresh and healthy meal in Wynwood! I first came to Jimmy'z to try mofongo, a traditional Puerto Rican dish consisting of fried green plantains and a whole lot of flavor. There's a reason this place is acclaimed for making some of the best and if you're like me and have never ate it before, this is a good place to try it first. I've had both the chicken and shrimp versions and really enjoyed both. The serving size is big enough for two meals which is always a plus. Now, if you're looking for something a little less heartier, the good news is that Jimmy'z has a huge selection of salads, sandwiches and other appetizer and entree options. On my last lunchtime visit, I got the seared ahi tuna salad. What came was a HUGE bowl filled with all sorts of fresh veggies topped with delicious fish and a tasty soy ginger vinaigrette served on the side. Seriously, I kept eating and eating and it seemed like it was never going to end! Even though it's pretty casual (you order at the counter, grab a number and sit down), they host events and happy hour! I haven't been to their other outposts in Pinecrest or SoBe, but I love how this spot embodies the spirit of Wynwood with some awesome art and a nice urban feel. All in all, I'd highly recommend this place for any meal because you really can find something that sounds good no matter what you're in the mood for. It's not the cheapest place but you're paying for high quality ingredients and super fresh flavor.

    Wanted somewhere affordable in Wynwood and this seemed like the best option. It's a nice casual place with friendly servers with beer and wine unlike so many walk up to order places. The prices are a bit high, but that's pretty typical for miami. I got the roasted veggie panini which was on a fabulous bread and a side salad ($12). My boyfriend got the chicken mofongo just because the reviews were good. Haha I'm still not sure what it is, maybe chicken and potatoes with creole sauce. He said it was good, but with him that's as good a compliment as any. I really wanted some cheesecake, but too full. I would come back.

    I was looking for homemade chicken soup in my neighborhood to help me with a summer cold and found Jimmy'z right nearby. It was perfect. Just like homemade with a rich broth, chunky chicken and loaded with fresh cooked veggies. I added some spice with some Indian pickle just to help kick out the cold. Then we went back today for lunch and had the soup again at a very reasonable $4 plus we shared the seared tuna sandwich. Thus was seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Loaded with chunks of seared fresh tuna with arugula on a rye bread with a spicy mayo type of sauce. It was just purely delicious. The restaurant was packed and for good reason. You have to applaud a place that does cafeteria style sandwiches, soups and salads with such care and freshness. Reasonably priced as well.

  • Thomas B.

    Today's special was a quinoa /kale salad with avocado, carrots tomato in a citrus vinaigrette. All delicious when I added the ahi tuna - even better. But for the price :-( Proportion of Kale to quinoa was favored more to kale. Kale is a garnish mostly - MORE Quinoa please at least. Kale was good and you keep the same just more quinoa

  • Hermen R.

    I am officially impressed with the shrimp Mofongo!! ($18) What a delicious meal. They do have more reasonable alternatives, $8-9 paninis & sandwiches and $10-17 entrees. Ordered the Mofono after reading some raving reviews, it exceeded expectations. Glad to have gone over my budget for this treat. Food 5 stars. Service 5 stars. Location/environment 2 stars. Restaurant was hard to find, 1st time here. Parking was not so bad for Miami standards. The restaurant doesn't have a "feel." It's "soulless" for lack of a better term, at least the Wynwood location. But great food and service. Can accommodate groups.

    I recently visited my parents in Parkland, FL for a few days. On a beautiful Sunday, my wife, sis and I borrowed their car and headed south to Wynwood for a few hours of sun and fun. The main goal was to see the Wynwood Walls. Unfortunately they were closed for a private event that day. So we had a ton of time to kill. We figured eating would be the move. After a quick "Nearby" search on Yelp, we landed on Jimmy'z as they had a great review to star ratio. Which ended up being completely accurate. First off, it was very quiet. We weren't complaining though. I'm from NYC, where restaurants are crazy busy on Sunday afternoons for brunch. According to one of the employees, it's much busier on the weekdays. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table outside. We took in the cool shade that came with our seating and nice breeze coming off North Miami Ave. There wasn't much vehicle or foot traffic that day. Very relaxing. We enjoyed the yuca fries (a special that day) for appetizers. I had the shrimp mofongo which was among the best I've ever tasted. Nice-sized portion too. My wife had the roasted pork which was equally tasty. And the kicker? If you purchase a whole bottle of wine, you get 20% off the bottle. You just have to purchase it on a separate check as it requires the management to swipe a special discount card. We enjoyed a nice Riesling with our meals. Jimmy'z was merely a great place we (some out-of-towners with an appetite and no strong recommendations to go on) happened to stumble on thanks to Yelp and we scored big time. So please use this as an official recommendation if you happen to be in the area and want something quick, tasty and hearty.

    I've been to this establishment many times and every time I was never disappointed. I believe I've eaten everything they have to offer. The customer service has always been excellent and the restaurant always clean. I never had a bad experience here. They are always consistent. My absolute favorite is the churrasco mofongo. From the savory sauce to the perfectly cooked flank steak and the moist mofongo, I've ordered this item more than any item in the menu. Now, I take pride in being a carnivore. I love steak, but these guys make bad ass salads. My favorite, the jerk chicken salad. The chicken cooked right with the right amount of heat. The avocados and mangoes were ripe. I mean I could go on and on about their food but you have to try it out yourself. Unfortunately I moved back to NYC and this place is now over 1,000 miles away.

    I absolutely loved this place. The person who took the order was so helpful and when the food came out it was nothing short of amazing. The salad was perfect with a delicious balsamic dressing and the Mofongo was out of this world. There was zero to complain about and everything to love. Healthy Puerto Rican food. Who knew?

    I love this place. Steps away from my third consecutive meal here. It's quick to order, food is fresh and not instantly prepared, inside seating and shaded outside area, wonderful all-around. The music isn't blasting, and so my soft, slightly monotoned voice can be heard across the table. This is important for me, maybe it is for you, too! The steak salad, that's my recommendation.

  • El K.

    I'm back (for the umphteenth time) for more of Jimmy'z. This time with 8 guests (family from the suburbs.) I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed here. Jimmy'z is quite consistent and that is appealing to me (I guess it is to most people.) All my reviews of Jimmy'z have been five stars until today. Sorry guys (you know I'm a big fan,) but it's only four stars today. The "blackened grilled chicken breast layered with marinated grilled onions, provolone cheese, and roasted pepper aioli" was lacking flavor which is unbelievable as blackened anything usually has a kick to it. I couldn't believe it, so I cut it into several pieces and had others try it and everyone agreed; the bread was good though. LOL On to the "thinly sliced Filet Mignon sauteed with onions, mushrooms and topped with melted provolone cheese on hoagie bread." Well, kind of hard to describe, but I'll try ... gristle in a steak sandwich is not pleasant as having to pull it out of your mouth (the gristle) in front of other people is not the most pleasant thing to have to do (I suppose I could have taken a napkin to my mouth ... oops.) The chunks of steak were also too big and that lead to more chewing than necessary for a steak sandwich; the bread was good though. LOL I've now removed both sandwiches from my list of items I would eat again (it's ok as they have plenty more to choose from.) Having said that, the other six dishes we ordered were fine (as usual) and overall, my guests were very pleased. Today's big hit was the mofongo with creole shrimp; that gets five stars in itself as does the mofongo with mojo pork. Another guest had the Grilled Churrasco and Chimichurri and that was a hit also as was the blackened mahi-mahi. We had no desserts today (we walked somewhere else for that.) I will continue to recommend Jimmy'z and I will definitely return ... Again and again.

    I think everything on the Menu at Jimmyz is amazing!!! The Bolitas de Queso with the guava sauce are to DIE FOR!!! So good!! The Ahi Tuna Special with the white rice and avocado salad with the most yummiest sauce to drizzle over the WHOLE ENTIRE plate yes the whole plate that's how good it is. The tuna is so perfectly seared on both sides and is full of so much flavor when the whole dish is combined. This plate is a must have if your in the neighborhood!! The Mofongo is another one of my favorite dishes the churasco one is my ultimate favorite. The meat is so juicy and the combination of the churasco and the Mofongo is just an explosion of flavors in your mouth. The Beef Stew is another personal favorite for those rainy days that all you are needing is some comfort it's the bomb! Just like a home cooked meal! And for dessert the Guava Cheesecake is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!! and then if you want something quick their jumbo cookies are also extremely tasty!!!

    I felt like I'm due for a review especially since I've been eating lunch here every day for the past 2.5 weeks. This place is awesome, consistent, and it will never let you down. I have tried the chicken & steak mofongo and both are fantastic. I have tried the following salads: the Niçoise salad, the fajita salad, & my favorite which is what I order almost every day - the chicken jerked salad. I mix their dressing with their spicy sauce, which is at the self serve counter. They know the perfect blend of spicy and flavorful. You will not go wrong eating here. Bon appetite! PS Service is great!

    One would think that Jimmy'z Kitchen would have a restaurant'z feel, but it's got the casual vibes of a low-key café instead. Order your food first, receive a number, and then seat yourself (like a fast food joint). The most popular dish wasn't even on the main menu above the cashier. What the mofo-ngo?! Besides having way too much fun saying the name, I learned that mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish of fried plantain mash. The folks at Jimmy'z recommended trying the churrasco mofongo or the pork mojo mofongo. I opted for the latter. The meat was tender but on the blander side, so I was relying heavily on the sauce to keep it flavorful. But the cursed mofongo (which honestly tasted more like french fries to me) soaked it all up in minutes! It's a race in time against that mofo. While sipping on my free shot of espresso, thanks to the check-in offer, I also had the opportunity to try a little of my friends' desserts. The caramel flan has a much thicker consistency than I'm used to, almost as creamy as a cheesecake. Speaking of cheesecake, the guava cheesecake is OK but nothing I'd write home about. All in all, a decent place to dine at but not really extraordinary.

    Wow. Just wow. I could not be more impressed with a restaurant. I committed a giant no no tonight. Inadvertently, we walked into jimmyz 10 minutes before closing time. I immediately felt bad when the person taking our order told us the kitchen was about to close. Why I thought they stayed open past 10 on Tuesday, really is beyond me. I guess it's a bad Miami habit. I asked if they were still taking orders and they were. Thankfully cuz we were a hungry bunch. We of course, committing another major no no ordered 5 Mofongos 4 with churrasco and 1 with shrimp, that may I say, we're cooked to perfection and incredibly delicious. Nothing short of phenomenal. Their cheeseballs with guava? To. Die. For. The staff was accommodating, very friendly and so nice. We sat down and had dinner and we talked for such a long time that it was already an hour past closing time. (don't judge me I swear it wasn't on purpose, and we weren't the only table) Not once did anyone come over kicking us out they came over to offer us anything else and see if we were ok. That's what I call amazing customer service. I already loved jimmyz but after last night's experience I love it even more, didn't know that was possible. Make sure to check this place out not only is the food out of this world but the customer service, if you can believe it, is even better. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

    I could eat there roasted veggie Panini for lunch every day. (you had me at goat cheese.) And the bread they used to make that sandwich, I need to find out if they'll sell me a loaf just on its own. I thought this was the perfect sandwich/salad lunch place, until I discovered their steak frites. Holy shit balls. With that garlic butter melting over it, just to be over-the-top. I would, however, advise against doing this to go. The fries underneath the steak are delicious. And Styrofoam boxes are the enemies of fries.

    I will definitely be returning here! The decor is beautiful with art from local artists. I tried the simple green salad and the plantain arañitas. The plantain arañitas are fried plantains that were shredded. They were very good but I wish it had a better sauce than a ketchup/mayo. The simple green salad with chicken was really good! First of all it was huge!! It came in a huge metal mixing bowl and had the dressing on the side. The salad was extremely fresh and had a good variety of greens, tomatoes, avocados and cucumbers. The chicken was nicely grilled and was a perfect temperature for the salad. It was not chilled or extremely hot. The best thing i tried was the coconut flan! It was beyond amazing!!! It was creamy, but had almost like a sponge cake texture with a caramelized crust and coconut flakes throughout. Amazing!!

    I really enjoyed Jimmy'z! They were at The Yelpies event, so that's where I first learned about them. Based on reviews, we went with the mofongo, & I am glad we did. I had the one with the chicken. The mofongo was perfectly seasoned & moist enough. Some places make it so dry that swallowing a bite is almost as impossible as it is scary. Not here! We also had the aranitas, which were also very good. I'm glad I listened to my fellow yelpers & shared one because they are ENORMOUS. The space is clean & cute, & they were playing electronic dance music (TEED, Disclosure, etc) which I thought went well with the space & it wasn't too loud to annoy my mom, aunt & uncle :) I will definitely be back!

    Interesting little local chain restaurant. They serve semi traditional Latin American cuisine with craft bottle beer / wine while watching tv and listening to music. Anyway on to the only information that should be posted in a review, unless drinking. The MOFONGO with pork and mojo sauce is simply tasty. First time trying mofongo so consider that. The pork and the mofongo was a little dry. I can understand dryness in the mofongo considering the ingredients but not for the pork. The pork should be moist, if it is supposed to be according to tradition. All three parts did have good flavor. Use the mojo sauce for moisture and the dish comes out nicely. The DESSERT satisfies the sweet tooth nicely. I don't know where (they ship in from a bakery) they get the COOKIES but the turtle is almost worth the pain of the fourteen mile hike it will take to burn it off. And the MANGO CHEESECAKE is basic cheesecake with mango sauce on top. It is good but not the best cheesecake I have had. Overall, this place isn't bad nor great. I think you can do better AND cheaper in more traditional parts of town. Think mom and pop owned and operated establishments. Therefore, two stars. Sorry guys.

    I have to say the inconsistent food and service are making me consider giving up on this place. Clearly the owners have their attention on there new locations. On a recent night the shrimp creole was watery with nearly nonexistent creole sauce. (The photo I posted during another visit. That experience was considerably better.) When someone asked about our food and I complained about the sauce, the response was that the kitchen had been swamped. So what! Then the employee continued by asking about the ahi tuna appetizer, to which I remarked that the tuna was quite good. I was floored by the response: 'well at least that was good. Frankly I was beside myself. And by the way the rice was overlooked. Too bad that this restaurant which helped pioneer this neighborhood has been such a letdown recently.

    CULINARY ART Midweek it's super quiet in the Wynnwood Art District.. We were in Wynwood to met a friend and together preview New World School of the Arts graduates' art exhibit Afterwards we would walk a few blocks to Jimmy'z for dinner. It's been a couple years since the last visit and restaurant interior is pretty much the same. The periodic sidewalk gatherings with the live band is of the past. It only takes a few apartment dwellers to object. Our three entrees were delivered one at a time which allowed us to share at a more comfortable pace. First to arrive was the Salad Nicose, next Bone in Ribeye (medium rare) with garlic potatoes and the finale with Mojo Pork. Honestly, the last entree more than topped the gas tank. All three entrees were exquisitely and perfectly prepared. We couldn't ask for better.

    This is the best meal I've had in months! Mahi mofongo on criolla sauce perfect dish, nice staff great chef! Helpful girl at the register and the cookies are to die for! Very neat and organized I loved this place and I'll be coming back often! I'm so happy

    My company stopped here while on an event venue tour in Wynwood and we all loved it! Nice and bright open space...very inviting. I order the Seared Ahi Tuna salad....DELICIOUS!! It was nice large salad, I fact I didn't get to eat the entire thing! The yuca fires are amazing and the fried cheese balls are off the chain with their guava sauce. It had us all ordering more! It takes a lot to impress a company that prides its self as a luxury caterer-we all loved it. I'm definitely making it one of my new spots!

    The food was really good a bit over priced for there portions and this specific location. there is no view to justify the price. But as the saying goes quality over quantity and the food was delicious. but i will be trying a different location next time for the ambiance.

    This place is every bit as good as the Yelp reviews say it is. Stopped here for lunch after doing a gallery crawl - it's in the Wyndham Arts District - and I wasn't disappointed! I ordered the Steak Frites and a glass of Cabernet (they only have a couple reds and whites by the glass, but it's great wine). It was fabulous. Not only delicious, but the presentation was superb - even for a place where you order at the counter and take a number to put on your table for the server. They have tons of great beer by the bottle, and a superb set of wines by the bottle also. What a find! If you come to the area to visit the museums/galleries, make a point of eating here - you won't be disappointed!

    Great food and great beer list to pair with food. Owner is attentive and very nice. Everything has an American-Puerto Rican fusion to it, but all the food screams Latin - and that's a good thing! I started with an Ahi Tuna Tiradito, which was very spicy and very delicious! The sauce that was left at the bottom of the plate made me wish for some bread to dip in it, but as soon as I thought of it my main course arrived; GIANT scallops, grilled, with a potato, green onion and corn hash. Superb! My wife ordered a Kale, quinoa and roasted jalapeño vinaigrette salad with shrimp. Very tasty too! Desserts looked pretty good, but we had no room for it... No biggy, because I'll go back many times for sure!

    I normally order chicken creole, I love it!! Only problem is I hate when food is served cold or somewhat cold. Other than that this place is very nice. And it's in the heart of wynwood, it's a nice area to walk around and enjoy artwork. I recommend getting the groupon!! It's a great deal!

    I initially got turned on to the Nikita's de queso at a Yelp event. The crispy outside, warm gooey inside with the sweet guava sauce rounds out the best bite of the night. The hummus platter is huge. It's enough to feed an army. It was delicious and filling. The mofongo is also very tasty with the creole sauce and whatever meat of your choice. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.

    I think four stars is perfect for Jimmyz Kitchen. Eating lunch today was wonderful. We ordered green fried plantains and the cheese balls with guava for appetizers. First of all the cheese balls are an absolute must. The best thing that we tried and I would go back just for those delicious puffs of cheesy goodness. The green plantain fried chip "things" were interesting. I'm a huge fan, the cut the plantains into thin strips and fry a bunch of strips together in a ball, definitely some of the best "chips"I have ever had. These are prepared uniquely and a little messy but they would go great with a beer. The mofongo seemed like the dish to have, I'm not a huge fan of mofongo but they prepared it very well. The tomato sauce created for the base is delicious! I will definitely be heading back there for lunch great atmosphere plus they are dog friendly!

    After three days of dieting :( my hubby and I headed to Jimmy'z Kitchen for a well-deserved "I finally lost two pounds" dinner. We have our favorites, mine being the Mofongo and my hubby loves the ribs. Unfortunately, they were out of the ribs, so for his entree he ordered the Bone-in Rib Eye Special and I ordered the Pork Mofongo. For our appetizer we had the Mussels Creole. The Mussels were really yummy. They come with toasted french bread that is perfect for absorbing the sauce. The sauce is so delicious that I wouldn't mind having is as soup! It is made with sauteed tomatoes and onions with a caribbean flavor. Good, good, good... Then our entrees came. My hubby loved the rib eye and I don't think it was just because he was starving. It comes with two generous portions of steak, which he ordered mid-rare, along with roasted potatoes. He normally doesn't eat potatoes but he said that they were really good. I tried a bit of his rib eye which had a nice charred flavor outside and was juicy inside (mmmmm....). But I go to Jimmy'z for the Mofongo (my hubby calls it Momofongo -What can I say? He is my gringo). Not only it is a fun word to say but it is just out-of-this-world amazing. I ordered the pork version which comes with pulled pork simmered in mojo. I really have no words to describe this dish. It is good, melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly seasoned pork. For those of you who don't know Mofongo, it is made with plantains mixed with pork or bacon. It is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!!! I always make sure to have a bit of pork and a bit of mofongo soaked in mojo in every bite. It was just what my very hungry tummy needed :) No dessert because I didn't want to break my diet, at least not break it all the way :) So, no dessert this time, although they have a nice selection of desserts with a latin flare. Maybe next time. Jimmy'z is a casual place with consistently good food. It is the perfect place to take the family for lunch or dinner and you have to go there if you have never tried Mofongo before.

    The long living jewl of South Beach finally opened at Wynwood. No more fighting over the fours tables at the small south beach location and the best of all... beer and Wine Licence! As well as coffee!. Great outdoor seating, fast service and lots of parking. The Ahi Tuna Special is a must! Ask for it extra raw, wont regret it.

  • Alex A.

    Fresh, delicious food at a great price! This place has a bit everything for every palette! The salad portion are very substantial and completely filling. So much so that I can't eat an appetizer with it. My favorite salad is the seared ahi tuna salad. The tuna rivals that of most I've ever had and the dressing is light and sweet. Vegetables here are bright and crisp! No soggy salads! My pet peeve!! Awesome spot to grab a quick lunch bite or to chill for a minute and drunk up some beers! I've yet to try something I didn't like. For the carnivore in you childish on the tripleta. It's a sandwich with meat some meat and more meat. Serious! Some people swear by the mofongo. As a Puerto Rican I was unimpressed. A little too salty for me and I was searching for some crunch. Still good though just nothing killer

    I am sure this location is a diamond in the city of Miami. We drive all the way from Pembroke Pines to dine and we keep coming back for more. This visit was a little different but still good.

    Saw the new location so we took a good friend here last night. It is an urban chic decor that is very nice. This location is so much larger than the beach. Orange, white and green colors surround you with a nice wine cellar up against the wall, very clean restrooms, oh my what a great looking place! Yes this is closer for me and I can not contain how happy I am to have this here. We had the utmost pleasure of finally meeting the man himself "Jimmy", wow what a fantastic personable guy. Now this is an owner who not only makes great food but he has everything just right. The service is beyond superb! Really, his staff members are so happy and helpful. So far every single item we have ordered has been above and beyond great! Last night was amazing. Hubby and his friend both ordered the "Churassco Mofongo", oh me oh my this steak was so moist and flavorful. And they offer it daily. woohoo! I chose the "Chicken Portabella with diced potatoes. Moist and perfectly seasoned. How can comfort food be this darn good. When I come here I feel like I am sitting home eating my mom's amazing cooking. All three of us just kept talking about how wonderful our food was. Behind the counter in several coolers they offer many fine imported beers at great prices and the wine selection is very good as well. Most bottles are all in the $20-$30 bottle price range with the highest at $49. Oh then the homemade desserts, wow try some peanut butter cheesecake and raisin bread pudding. What awesome desserts. Jimmy needs to open up a consulting business to help others because he is one of the finest owner's who well just gets it. Make great food, give stellar service, good convenient location, good portions, clean, fun decor and people will come. I will continue to patronize this local business because "YES" it is that amazing! You can not go wrong with any dish, delish! Oh and they deliver to downtown amongst other areas, Score! See you soon! When I was speaking to Jimmy he really made my night, being of Puerto Rican decent, he told me if I give him four to five days he can order me "pasteles". Oh was I happy, happy, and trust me I will be ordering some very soon.

    We were visiting Miami, and wanted to experience something local that wasn't necessarily on the concierge's "hot sheet" of recommended restaurants. We found Jimmy'z through Yelp, and we were not disappointed. Bolitas de Queso with guava sauce - YUM. My wife had the pork mofongo (amazing, she said), and I had the vegetarian fajita salad with added tofu. Lots of good options for vegetarians :-) When we come back to Miami, we will definitely eat here again.

    The positives: The dining room is gorgeous. Whoever (whomever?) conceptualized and executed the design of the place did a phenomenal job. He/she/they made an industrial space feel warm, hip and inviting. I guess it should be expected for the neighborhood but to combine form and function so well in a space that doesn't have to concentrate on such is a real triumph. Bring your camera phone and take some shots. You'll like what you see. The not-so-positive: The mofongo. I am a mofongo master. I've eaten it all over the Caribbean (especially in Puerto Rico), became a connoisseur of the stuff in Chicago (despite a vacating community to the suburbs, the (un)official home of the jibarito sandwich has much boricua flava; Puerto Rican cuisine in Chicago is #truth) and had it made in my buddy's house by his abuela (who can throw DOWN in the kitchen). I know my stuff. Unfortunately, as hyped up as the mofongo is here, I can't say that it's especially good. Even though my jam is mofongo con bacalao, I went with the mofongo con lechon. At $17 a pop, I was pretty let down. The plate was generously portioned but the mofongo itself was a bit mealy and pasty. I didn't taste the cracklins that give it texture, pop and added flavor. The lechon, too, was a bit bland. Served with its juice, it didn't have enough liquid to effectively pair up with the mofongo (as would be best served with some iteration of hot sauce). The meat wasn't very seasoned and having so much of it, it was a bit tough to get down. The rice and onions that came with the dish were nice additions but didn't/couldn't make up for the overall blandness of the meal. Perhaps I need to come back to try a different mofongo (con bacalao)?

  • Dionne D.

    Oh Lord...the chicken and mofongo is worth any drive from any part of Florida. The burgers and fries aren't that bad either. The staff is extremely friendly and willing to explain any item on the menu. Food comes out fast, fresh and hot. Oh...and let's not forget the cheesecake! Try EVERY one in the display. They're amazing!

  • Marquis M.

    This may be an unfair review because I have only ever ordered the vegan pad thai but I have to say it is phenomenal. I find myself craving it at times ... that's how good it is. I'm not a fan of tofu but the pad thai comes with it on top. The tofu looks like nothing special and kinda gross, in general (that's how I feel about tofu overall), however the way it's flavored is really pretty good. The noodles, however, are just amazing and fresh. It's just so amazing. My partner regularly orders the mofongo and switches up the meat that goes with it. He finishes it every time (which is a feat because the portions are HUGE). I loved how casual it was relatively comfortable the atmosphere is. As is true to Wynwood it's more trendy-hipster-chic than anything, but it was nice because the food and alcohol selection was legitimately delicious and impressive. Also, there is a wide array of choices so it's not just strictly amazing mofongo, like I said, I had pad thai but then there are also salads, sandwiches, bizarre yet delicious appetizers, etc. It's a must and I will be back.

    Finally on the way home, and passing through Miami, I stopped at one of the sandwich shop my friends highly recommended. Unfortunately, being the Monday after Memorial Weekend, the sandy shop, along with many other places, were not open. So I do what I normally do. Pulled out Yelp app on my iPhone, and plot a course to the nearest Cuban place, and found Jimmy'z. Well, FOUND might not be the exact word, as it took me about 10 minutes driving and turning and U-turning all over this corner to find this place. Boy, do they need a better signage out here! How else is someone from out of town supposed to find it?! Once I actually found Jimmy'z I was quite impressed, if not on its look alone. It looks like a high-end coffee shop, but it is actually a Cuban food place. I wasn't all that hungry, just hankering for some real food instead of these snacks I have in the car for the long drive home, so I ordered a Club Panini, which was a really nice looking cross between a Panini and a Torta Cubana loaded with sliced ham, turkey, strips of bacon, lettuce and tomato, held together with melted provolone. The sandwich held together nicely, not messy at all, and everything in there taste good and fresh. As I was devouring my sandwich, someone sat in the table next to me, and ordered one of those Mofongo, with the Cajun shrimps. It smelled so delicious and loaded with plenty goodness on top of a scoop of yellow rice and some sauce. Now I wished I had ordered that instead! P.S. There was a check-in offer for a free espresso with an order of lunch or dinner, although I'm not sure when the deal is set to expire.

    Yayyyyy...a new lunch spot!!!!! Lets talk hummus...I'm a fanatic and this hummus kicks ass!!! Its creamy and spreadable, a must for true hummus lovers, and it is served on a plate with a side medley of olives, feta, tomatoes and cucumber! But the best part, inserted directly into the mountain of hummus are warm crispy slices of thick cut baguettes. Sooo good, I could just eat that and be completely satisfied. :) Luckily there's more, Jimmy'z also has a variety of mouthwatering creative salads and sandwiches. Their portions are large, easily shared by two people and at $11 or $12 that's a good thing. But make no mistake these are gourmet salads, well worth the $$!

  • Casey B.

    Jimmy'z is a great casual restaurant in Wynwood. I went with a big group and they easily accommodated us. They have a ton of space, and the service was really fast. The prices are amazing for what you get. The salads are huge and delicious. I had the Fajita Salad and enjoyed every bite! A note on the mofongo - I had never had it before and enjoyed what I tasted from a friend. However, it was very bready, it seems like they haven't quite worked out the ratio. Overall everyone was pretty pleased with their food though. It's a cool atmosphere - very fitting of Wynwood, but it wouldn't be great for an intimate date. Definitely a fun place for a group dinner though!

  • Nicole H.

    This was my first experience with Puerto Rican food, and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken mofongo was delicious - a savory blend of tomato-based sauce, tender chicken, and... plantains? Just shows that sometimes it pays off to order a dish having absolutely no idea what you're about to eat. I also tried one of the Chef's recommendations, the arroz con pollo, which was decent. I felt like it needed some form of sauce to liven it up a bit. Jimmy'z has an extensive beer and wine collection, and our waitress was happy to assist my husband in selecting a good microbrew for his tastes. Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free espresso! Since we were getting coffee at the end of the meal, we just had to try the recommended guava cheesecake as well. It was good, but I think the mofongo was the true star of the meal. The prices are a little expensive ($11-17 for many of the items), but the portions are large and beautifully plated. Overall, I'm definitely glad I came!

    Fresh, forward-thinking food in a low-key yet stylish spot. You'll think you're in California because everything is so fresh (and a little bit more than you'd expect $) but it's worth it and not a deterrent. Love this place. Pop in whenever I'm around. All yummy.

    My wife and I made a day trip from Palm Beach county to check out Wynwood. We decided to check out this place since they had the best Yelp reviews. We were pretty disappointed. While the atmosphere is kind of cool, the food was not that great. I had the blackened chicken sand which and my wife had the Asian sandwich. In both cases, the chicken was way too dry.

  • Abel I.

    I'm not sure what I can say about Jimmy'z that no one else has said! We started with the guava-sauce-covered cheese balls with low expectations because guava and fried cheese don't exactly go together in my head, but the result was a heavenly taste that you can't explain until you try it. It comes together really, really well. We wanted more before we finished them. For the 'hardy' meal, I ordered the churrasco mofongo and had an emotional moment when I bit into it- I nearly teared up from how good the steak was. My girlfriend ordered the steak and cheese sandwich, and it's amazing how something so simple can have so much flavor. I will say, however, that I wasn't a huge fan of how 'thick' and chunky the mofongo was, I'm used to it being much smoother, but it went well, just needed a little more salt and the table didn't have (and we didn't feel like getting up, so our fault too). But it looks like the food here is very, very well-made. They lose a point for the prices. The food is a little expensive, even for Wynwood, and no way I'm paying $7 for a bottle of Innis and Gunn when I can get a 20oz glass at another bar for $6! The place seems too casual and friendly for those prices, but alas. If you can do without the alcohol for a meal and you can be a little liberal, not even too much, with your money, Jimmy'z is extremely worth it. And check-in when you get there, either on FourSquare or Yelp! Free cafecito with your purchase.

    This place is amazing!!! The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved the roasted beef and the Ahi tuna they were cooked to perfection.

  • Vince G.

    Had the mofongo churrasco and while it was tasty the mofongo was a bit dry and the steak had way too much fat. My wife ordered the lechon and that too was delicious, but again covered in fat to the point where way too much pork had to be left on the plate. Besides the poor choice in protein the place has delicious food and a great craft beer selection, however, for the price I just expect better quality in the food.

    The first time I went to Jimmy'z was a weekday evening soon after this location opened. There weren't many customers so we took our time looking at the menu - printed but with daily specials on a chalkboard. We got accustomed to the casual ordering system, which includes placing your order at the counter and having someone bring it to your table. We ordered the Chicken Portabella & Steak Frites. The staff was more than willing to accommodate changes I requested for my dish. The chef himself delivered our food to the table and checked on us a few more times to make sure everything was to our liking. I appreciated his enthusiasm and concern for us enjoying our meal. Rarely do you encounter that at a restaurant in Miami these days. My mom loooved her food and I was extremely satisfied with mine. Juicy chicken, flavor-filled veggies - yum all around! Definitely lived up to the Yelp hype. The second time I came to Jimmy'z was for takeout. I called and placed my order and it was ready about 5mins after I arrrived (less than 15mins from initial call to food being ready). Met the manager, owner & re-met the chef. All were extremely pleasant and welcoming. Jimmy'z was a great value, serves yummy food that's healthy so it won't weigh you down, is convenient and service is friendly.

    I think pics look better than the actual taste. The price is a bit too much for the place, cafeteria type. I've tried better mofongos and the.red sauce that goes with all mofongos has a strange garlic flavor. Not the worst place, but not coming back

  • Joshua L.

    Not bad but an acquired taste. I'm just not used to entree dishes (especially hearty meats and even seafoods) being so heavily acidic to the point of utter sour. Just not my thing. Sorry to say but it makes the food taste like its spoiled. Also kind of expensive for the casual setting. Flavor: 2 stars Portion: 5 stars (the amount of food is plenty good) Freshness: 3 stars (the seafood was questionable to me) Decor / environment: 3 stars (casual and just ok) Value: 3 stars Overall: 3 stars This was my first time trying monfongo.... really never want to again.

  • Alli Y.

    Yum Yum!! My sister took me here which I was visiting. We got the shrimp mofongo!! Wow was it a tastey treat for the pallet. A couple huge shrimps in it with fried plantains which I don't usually like but apparently it's the salty kind which was very good. The sauce was delicious!! We also got a slice of the guava cheesecake and it was good. Not overly sweet at all. You could tell it was homemade. I also got the special ice team which was good. If only they had this place where I'm from. Definitely woth a try!!

    I just got back from what I thought would be a flashback to Puerto Rico. I am a native Puerto Rican who moved to Miami just 4 months ago and was looking for a restaurant with good PR food. Let me start by saying that the decor was nice and the service was fast. But the food was average and I was left completely UNDERWHELMED! The bolitas de queso were good and the guava sauce was a nice addition but my chicken mofongo wasn't good at all. The keyword here is mofongo, it was dry and had zero flavor (no pork skin and no garlic, a big flaw if you are making mofongo) but at least the creole sauce was tasty. My boyfriend's churrasco was burnt and the chimichurri sauce was horrible. I also don't understand why they call themselves a Puerto Rican restaurant when 80% of the menu has nothing to do with our cuisine. Maybe I should try something else like a salad, soup or panini next time; if that ever happens. So if you are a born and raised Puerto Rican like me don't expect Jimmy'z Kitchen to bring back memories of what our food really tastes like.

  • Cristina R.

    Maybe it's because I've ate better Mofongo. The Flan had been sitting there for a while. It wasn't fresh. The staff attention was great though. Good environment. The food is not as great as people make it seem.

  • Philip B.

    Went here today and ordered the following: (1) Bolitas de Queso, (2) Shrimp Mofongo, and (3) La Tripleta Sandwich. The Bolitas de Queso were absolutely amazing! They were perfect and the guava sauce that came on top of the queso was excellent as well and complemented the cheese well. Next, it was onto the Mofongo, which was outstanding as well. The creole sauce that came with the dish was outstanding. It was a little on the pricey side, but my friend that I was with is Puerto Rican and even he really enjoyed the dish as well so I knew it was definitely the real deal! Finally, the La Tripleta sandwich was great as well. It was a little too strong on the onion side, but the sandwich itself was a nice marriage of ham, pork, bacon, onions and cheese. I would probably try something else next time but it was still a good sandwich. I will definitely be back sometime soon!

    Jimmy'z is delish and a great place for lunch. Great Puerto Rican food! If you show them your check-in, you get a free espresso. It's a great spot for #305cafecito! The salads are awesome - my favorite is the Fajita Salad. Two can share! The Ginger-Carrot Soup is soooo yummy. Great service, very friendly, and you can often catch Jimmy in the kitchen.

    It's about time I find a good Puerto Rican restaurant in Miami. I was very impressed with the quality of the food. Gourmet and delicious at a low cost. I had the seared tuna, it was very fresh and delicious. For desserts we had blueberry cheesecake IT WAS AMAZING and don't leave without trying the Guava Cheesecake! ... to die for. It was a Saturday night so they have music in the patio. I didn't have the Mofongo everyone raves about but I will be coming back. *** This restaurant have the 3 B's we all look for Bueno, Bonito, y Barrato! ***

    Now I know why everybody's ravin' about this place. My first time here and I'm hooked. Of course I had to try one of the Mofongos and selected the shrimp with creole sauce. I assumed that the shrimp will be miniature ones but was completely surprised! The size & amount of shrimp (8 pieces) in the dish were substantial so I suddenly realized...ooohhh, I'm not in some food court where they give you tiny pieces of shrimp :) I actually took a detailed pic of the shrimp...ok enough. The presentation, taste & portion of the entree were more than acceptable. I shoved as much mofongo in my body and wasn't able to finish the entire thing. The place itself is spacious, loft style dining with outdoor seating. It was around 5pm on a Monday and place was empty but loved it cause I was able to take as much pics without annoying anyone...my apologies to anybody who has seen me around :) I gotta come back to try other items on the menu cause my tummy was satisfied!

    Cafeteria style place, informal. The food is alright. The shredded plantains were good though overly salted. The seared tuna was a bit under-seared. But the portions are good and the tomato avocado salad was fresh.

    WOW, just great! The Mofongo was amazing. I had the pork mofongo and it was sooo good. I have had mofongo in Puerto Rico and it was nothing compared to this. First, I didnt expect it to be so expensive..I'm more used to cheap Cuban food. But it was worth it. The restaurant is fun and the music is great. The menu is actually extensive beyond just mofongo. The mofongo is plate is a lot of food, I shared and we still took some home for dinner. Definitely worth it and I will go again!

    Food is just okay. I had some seafood dish. 1. There is no waiting if you are there on weekdays. 2. There is live music on weekends. 3. It isn't very expensive. 4. Food again is just average. 5. There is no service basically, so you don't have to tip. 6. The ambiance is casual. So this is where I would take an old girlfriend rather than a first date.

    Great neighborhood eat! The food is right on the spot, I've been there a few times and have never been disappointed. The prices are very reasonable and their beer selection is outstanding. If you're looking for a yummy, filling, casual spot - you've found it. Try the bolitas de queso and any of the mofongos are to die for.

    The food was great everything was on point! My husband had lamb chops which I am not a big fan off but this lamb chops had great flavor and tender.He also had a side of mofongo and it was super tasty, take a bite and you just don't want to put your fork down. I had shrimp creole I loved it! I liked the atmosphere, very modern and cozy to enjoy a great meal with friends or family. The service was great the staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately because we were just so full we didn't have dessert but i will sure be going back and saving room for dessert next time!

    Service is SLOW. But the food is super yummy so I'll let it slide. Have had their chicken salad sandwhich and steak before. Two very different dishes but both were superb. Place has a cool modern vibe to it. Plenty of outdoor seating. Place is a madhouse during a weekday lunch, so make sure you have time to spare!

    Ok, I am Puerto Rican and make some viscious rican foodies, but the shrimp mofongo was overpriced and plantains overcooked..big thumbs down! The Steak sandwich was overpriced and nasty...Stay in Southbeach, cause the food in the wynwood restaurant blows. One star iz too high.

    We have been here twice. On our first visit, we had the pork mofongo and the shrimp mofongo. Both were amazing! The pork mofongo was the better of the two. On our second trip, we had the pork mofongo and the beef stew. This time around, the pork mofongo had a citrus based mojo without enough mojo sauce. The clump of pork was rather dry but plentiful. The beef stew was simply boring! It was on the Miami New Times 100 Favorite Dishes, so I thought I would give it a try. Boy was I wrong for making that choice... I should've gone with the shrimp mofongo. Luckily, my husband traded his mofongo for my beef stew... and we left only mildly disappointed. Hopefully, it was just an off day and the next time we return to Jimmyz, the pork mofongo will be as juicy and garlic-y as it was the first time we visited.

    I LOVE the mofongo here! I have had it in Puerto Rico and it is just as good, if not better than the many places i had it in PR. You will not be disappointed no matter which type you desire.

  • Zahira A.

    I had been trying to get my boyfriend to come here for a while, as it's close to where we live and I heard they had mofongo - I'm Puerto Rican and can't resist a chance to try good mofongo! Well I finally convinced him, and boy was he surprised... he ordered 5 things on the menu just for himself! I ordered the chicken mofongo and a side of avocado & tomato salad. Everything was delicious. The mofongo was steaming hot and had just the right amount of garlic in it. When we asked what was in the vinaigrette that was brought out with a salad, the guy who brought it out named every ingredient in it... impressive! That may sound silly but my bf has some food allergies and you would be surprised at how many restaurant employees have no clue what goes into the food they serve. They also had my boyfriend's favorite craft beer (Magic Hat #9), so he was happy. The reason for 3 stars however: it took much longer than necessary to place our order. They seemed a little unorganized behind the counter. While the avocado & tomato salad was delicious, it was drenched in way too much olive oil. The black beans were a little blah in comparison to everything else. Also - my boyfriend ordered a shrimp salad and bit into a chunk of WOOD! He almost broke his tooth. So be careful if you order a salad because they don't seem to check their pre-cut greens very carefully. Other than that, we will be back

  • Linda T.

    I recently visited Jimmy's, super excited to try the Mofongo dish. I went on a vaction to Puerto Rico a couple months ago and had mofongos there practically every day and it was AMAZING!!. So after reading all the reviews about Jimmy's I was expecting the same......... I had the churrasco mofongo and I didn't finish my dish. The steak was good but the plantains were hard as rocks. The mofongo's I had in Puerto Rico were made using sweet plantians and were so soft, it damn near melted in your mouth. The sauce that surrounded the mofongo was great, but I diffently won't be back or at least get the Mofongo again.. My boyfriend had a chicken dish, I don't remember the name but he was not impressed. It was a good effort, but ehh....

  • Iris B.

    was introduced to my very first mofongo...had the red fish tonight . it was really good and i had so much food on my plate that i couldn't eat it all in one sitting...i have a whole nother meal for tomorrow! now since i've never had mofongo before i didn't know what to expect but the plaintains had a really nice texture and flavor to them and the sauce mixed nicely with the fish. my company had the steak sandwich which looked really good. the place is very cute, clean, and chill with no fuss ordering... we sat outside in the perfect cool night air, relaxed and enjoyed our meal...afterwards, because i checked into Yelp, they gave me a free espresso (good thing i have to stay up for awhile tonight!)... will frequent again for sure.

    LOVE LOVE Jimmy'z in south beach. I order delivery all the time and every time it's great. Victor is always so nice and makes sure everything is perfect. I started going for lunch and they are always packed but Victor always makes everyone feel welcome and treats everyone like old friends. It's not easy finding a restaurant on south beach that has great service and fabulous food. If you want amazing food and good service go here!!

    Well I saw this restaurant in the news,and I saw their signature platter the mofongo.I waited a while to go eat there,well finally I decided to go check it out,my wife and I order the chicken mofongo and also order dessert the vainilla flan,now we did order it to go cause we were tired,Now while we were waiting for our food we did look around and the enviroment was very upbeat the restaurant was decent overall a nice place to go and sitdown and have a bite.The attention from the servers were great.Well got my food and went home.Got home and starting eating that plate like it was no tomorrow the food tasted very good the chicken with the creolle sauce was very good too.....the only reason I did not gave 5 starts is cause I like my mofongo with pieces of chicharron inside and this one didnt had it but over all a very good taste and once I finish my food I watch tv and fell asleep I was knocked out and when that happens you know the food was great.....I wish the can open one close to kendall.........I will be going again.

    Beat my expectations! Clean and stylish decor, excellent service, lots of great selections on the menu at prices which are friendly to your wallet. They don't gouge you on drinks: $6.50 Belgian Chamay beer, $1 espresso, $2 cappuccino. I had the best turkey sandwich in Miami. Friendly staff, easy parking.

    Eating at Jimmy's is like eating at home, of course that's assuming you have a personal chef, they are my go to place whenever I'm feeling hungry, they are fast, they have great service and food is good! At Jimmy's you can find something for everybody, from great tasting salads to actual plates that can feed even the hungriest dude. One of my favorite things to eat here are the desserts, they have a great variety and a lot of them are Hispanic inspired, but what I love the most are the cookies! You wouldn't believe the flavors they have, they make this captain crunch one, which is just as good as it sounds, and a guava with coconut, do I need to say more? If you decide to visit them I will highly recommend to start either with the "Bolitas de queso" or the "Arañitas" trust me, you don't need to know what this words mean, you just need to order them. But if you are like me, and you're trapped in an office, you can go ahead and place a delivery order, these guys are always super helpful and food always arrives in time and in great shape. Give it a try! It's not fancy, it's not fine dining, is a place where you eat like you're at home.

    Soooo I am not sure what is the good dish in this place..... I thought it was the mofongo but that is not the case.... In my honest opinion I'm not sure if the place is advertised as Puerto Rican cuisine but just FYI I really do not believe they make real PR food... However, it is a good mix of different Caribbean dishes. I am sad to say that the food was not good so we will not be going back. There was no "sazón" in their dishes which was a huge dissapointment. Not sure what is the type of food they are serving in this restaurant... I guess if I did not know Latin food, I will think this is great food but then again is that what they serve here....? There was Asian noodles to jerk chicken... Not Latin to my understanding..... I may not be able to capture the essence of this establishment so I do not know what people like about it. We ordered the Mofongo with churrasco.... Mofongo is a very traditional dish in Puerto Rico. churrasco is a good option for steak in Puerto Rico but carne frita will be the most traditional option with mofongo. However, I know we are in Miami so a twist is always good but in this place not only did the food came out cold but it was flavorless and not traditional. If you know PR food, they use "adobo" and sazón in almost every dish if not in all, which was not the case here, but then again they might not be cooking Puerto Rican food.... Who knows...? Ahí tuna was drowned in a peanut sauce, not sure which country is that from maybe Thai food... However, I love Thai food and this dish didn't taste like it. I'm very confused... Ah!! I know what was good here... Dessert!!! The guava cheesecake was delicious and probably the closest thing to Puerto Rican cuisine. However, a real traditional one is" cascos de guayaba con queso blanco" so this is a good twist, guava cheesecake, bravo for that!! I am not sure what is going on with this place but if this place opens up in PR or DR I doubt it will stay open for more than a week. Good thing they are in Miami. I can't recommend this place because I don't understand it. It reminds me of cheesecake factory which they master nothing but they do make a little bit of everything. That concept is popular with many so best wishes.

    I came out here on a Friday night and was less than impressed. This was my 3rd time here and will now be my last. Although the food was not bad, there is so much more that has left me dissatisfied. First of all, the parking situation around this place is disgusting because it's not safe and hard to find. So freaking inconvenient! Second, I find it unacceptable that this place ran out of shrimp on a Friday night around 6:45pm when you don't close until 11pm. I came here for the Shrimp Mofongo and you tell me that you don't have it with this attitude too, like its not a big deal BUT IT IS TO ME since I came out of the way for that. The staff could have been more apologetic and tried harder to make it up to me, but it seems like it's simply not their problem. Just great... Third, as I sat there in your establishment, I am indoors being eaten alive by mosquitoes while I'm trying to eat my food. Such a bad experience! If I can muster enough forgiveness after this, I may see if your other locations are better than this one but I will not be coming back to this location.

    Once again, dined at this food gem! Can't go wrong with the mofongo-anything, but this time I tried the jerk chicken salad which brings avocados, mango, tomato and almonds in a sherry vinaigrette. Their fried yuquitas are accompanied with a red pepper aioli, which is a definite awesome choice to start off with, especially if your sharing the dish. If you have a sweet craving once done, I recommend the rocky road cookie, or as I call it the brookie- a brownie cookie. You could thank me afterwards. Enjoy.

    The service has diminished and the neighborhood is not that safe. Listen, I drove here for their shrimp dishes.1st-they ran out of shrimp since earlier that day yet there's a lot shrimp dishes throughout their menus. And it was a Friday evening-the time when people love coming out to eat and they could not run somewhere to buy shrimp? Come on! In addition to that when I go to redeem my free cup of espresso for a Yelp "check-in", I asked for a little milk or half and half on the side because sometimes espresso is way to strong for me and the lady told me that it wouldn't be a promotion if she gives me cream and she would have to charge me...WHAT??? she could of just used that opportunity to provide great service and just given me some freakin' creamer! Ok...let's talk food-it's pretty tasty-but they should take better inventory of their food for busy weekends. The parking-not that convenient and not that safe-last time that I was there someone broke a lady's car window and stole something. I parked like some feet away and someone spray painted the side of my car. The service-could be Much much better. The prices-too pricey for the quality of the food and the danger of the neighborhood. **Note: It's risky but try coming here for the mofongo and their paninis for a lunch date. The food is good but don't be shocked if the service is mediocre. So, check it out...I ordered the Mojo Pork, which was tasty! I also ordered their cheese cake and brownie, which is good but WAAAAAY over priced. I wish that my experience here was worth my trip here BUT it really wasn't. Tha Yelp Daddy was really disappointed!!!!

    This was a great find on a great corner in Wynwood. We went for an early lunch on Sunday afternoon and the place was empty, but that certainly wasn't because of the food. It's nestled in the bottom corner of an apartment complex, just a few steps away from a few other cool stored and restaurants. Street parking is plentiful here - don't forget to feed the meter. The menu here is big, but I think there's really only one reason to come here: Mofongo. We went with the Churrasco Mofongo, which was a perfectly cooked skirt steak drizzled and surrounded by two great sauced on their amazon mofongo. The steak was tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked and the portion size was massive. I'm still craving it today. We also started with their delicious fried cheese balls. I was hoping to eat "light" that day, but it just wasn't happening here. We also had a nice chopped salad, which wasn't anything special, but perfectly good. (Let's be honest, you don't come here for the salad, anyway). It should also be noted that they have a massive selection of beers, beverages, cookies and desserts - none of which I partook in, but I'm looking forward to them the next time I'm back.

    I've been meaning to leave this review, so here it goes: I love Jimmyz kitchen. I've ordered there countless times since I live about 10 minutes away from the restaurant. Each time I've been left satisfied, no doubt. However this time Jimmyz kitchen totally completely just dropped the ball. We ordered delivery on a Tuesday. Called at 7:19pm, a girl answered, took our order blah blah blah, told us it was going to be 45 minutes..ok. Called again at 8:22pm to check the status of our order, we were hung up on Called at 8:37pm. jimmy (Jimmyz kitchen jimmy) said he was going to call the driver..ok. Also never apologized, sounded a tad annoyed to be honest. Called at 8:40pm asking jimmy if the driver is lost? Said he was going to call the driver again..ok Called at 8:59pm, someone hung up on us again Driver arrived at 9pm, checked the order and we never got one item which was the mango cheesecake..we still got charged for it Called at 9:11pm, someone hung up on us again... The burgers we ordered looked like they just threw it inside the container, we wanted our burgers well done.. Far from it. Tomato inside the burger looked like it was rotten, fries were extremely soggy. We ate it anyway because after waiting all that time, we were starving. Called back and Jimmy offered us a free cheesecake after our lengthy verbal complaint on the phone but I don't think it makes up for the fact that the owner is there at the restaurant and still our experience was horrendous, tells me a lot. All in all Jimmyz went from our #1 favorite place to a place we are absolutely never eating at again.

    In a perfect world, everybody would have an eatery like Jimmy's in their neighborhood. The giant menu seems to be saying: "come to me, children from all corners of the world". He has it all to satisfy a wide variety of hunger moods, from hearty home made dishes that seem as if just made by grandma, to lighter sandwiches and salads, decadent desserts and a great selection of beers and wines to join the feast. Whenever faced with food cravings' confusion, I head to Jimmy's knowing that all my questions will be answered, my belly will be filled with flavorful delights and my heart with bliss.

    My boyfriend and I stopped here while walking into the Wynwood neighborhood (we were staying off 27th and Biscayne). It's at the bottom floor of apartment buildings and very cute inside with outdoor seating.

    My boyfriend and I usually go to the jimmyz kitchen on Alton road in Miami. We love this place! So today we decided to be adventurous and try this jimmyz kitchen. It is located in a suburban area close to Canvas Miami and across the street from Suviche. This place is clean and small. We order at the front and they deliver it to our table. They have outside and inside tables. When i left, I realize they was a back room too. The food here is delicious! I got a free espresso when I checked it (thumbs up for freebies!). I order the Cuban mojo pork and my boyfriend order the panini. I loved the mojo pork! We always get it with the Spanish orange drink! It's a bubbly soda. The sandwich on the other hand was not so great! There was nothing special about it. For dessert, we got the caramel flan! I totally recommend it!!! Great service! Will be back.

    People had mentioned this restaurant to me a few times, so I was excited to try something new and also have lunch with my hubby. So we get in and wait at the counter for a few mins before someone comes to the register and takes our order and he had somewhat of a sour face. Apparently he didn't want to be there or who knows what's going on, but you gotta fake it till you make it when you're working with people and at least smile once and greet them. But then again, now that I think about it, I don't think I really saw any of the employees being friendly and smiling, so maybe that's a criteria for being hired here. My husband had mentioned it takes a little bit to get the food, but I didn't think it would have taken as long as it did to get two sandwiches (about 15-20 mins). It wasn't even that busy because the lunch rush had passed (it was 2 pm). Once we got the food it looked good, but I soon realized that $10 for my sandwich (Sobe Club) was a total rip off! It comes with lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil pesto and prosciutto on ciabatta bread. But the prosciutto was barely there, all I got was ONE super duper thin slice of prosciutto. The sandwich was mostly some very fat pieces of mozzarella. I understand it's in Wynwood and they have a nice place so the rent is probably high, plus paying the employees that don't smile, but I expected more. I expected to be able to really taste the prosciutto. I think I would've been satisfied with two super duper thin slices, cause the one didn't cut it. My husband had the Cubano sandwich. I didn't try it because it had mustard, which I don't like, but he said he liked it. It looked pretty decent though and it had several slices of meat, unlike mine. Needless to say I don't think I would jump at the chance to come back here anytime soon, nor would I tell anyone to go there. There's so many great places in Wynwood to eat, I feel that they have some work to do to come up to par with them.

    Want to send a shout out to Noel... It's associates like this that makes the difference between a good dining experience and a great dining experience. Thanks Noel! You're indeed an asset (IMHO) to Jimmy'z. Every time I've come Noel alway has a great disposition, attentive, polite and above all this dude (used with sincere endearment) is always smiling when he engagingly customers. Again thanks brutha! Also shot out to the kitchen staff for consistently creating and serving up delicious dishes. You guys are awesome.

    My boyfriend and I visited Jimmy'z Kitchen while wandering around Wynwood for the day. We had read great Yelp reviews and knew we had to check it out. The restaurant was easy to find and we really loved that there was outdoor seating to take advantage of. I had the chicken fajita salad which was very tasty but HUGE! The salad could have easily fed my boyfriend and I and we would have been full. The prices were also very reasonable. We paid $20 for a lunch that fed us both and we had leftovers.

    For those of you who don't know mofongo is a fried plantain-based dish, which originated in Puerto Rico. It is typically made with fried green plantains, mashed together in a pilón (a wooden mortar and pestle), with some garlic, olive oil and then you add in your protein. You can have it with shrimp, chicken, beef, or my favorite, pork. Considering all of this my friends over at Jimmy'z Kitchen know what they are doing when it comes to making their mofongo - in my opinion, the best in Miami. Besides having the most delicious mofongo in the city they also serve up some pretty delicious plates. For example, for your appetizer you should be trying their yuca frites. And if you are a plantain lover like me order the arañitas, which is essentially shredded fried plantain served with "Puerto Rican sauce," i.e. mayo and ketchup. Oh, and if you are cheese lover then order the bolitas de queso with guava sauce. Enough said. What's really cool about Jimmy'z Kitchen fast casual concept is that Jimmy makes sure to have healthier options on his menu as well. I personally love the fajita salad with chicken. It comes stacked with peppers, corn, cheddar jack cheese, with mixed greens, and topped with tortilla chips. Last but not least, let's talk dessert. We were told that Jimmy's abuela actually trained those in the kitchen and taught them how to make her homemade desserts. The two I recommend you try are the coconut flan and the guava cheesecake. I would order both if I were you. That's how good they are.

    I hate to downgrade a favorite restaurant, but I'm hoping it serves as an intervention for them to get back to the service and food I loved! I came by yesterday for a "family dinner" with my mother after picking up my dog from the nearby groomer since Jimmy'z has provided tasty, "parent safe" food in a dog friendly environment. However, our greeting (female hostess) was rude when I walked in to place my order. I know dogs aren't allowed IN the restaurant as I have eaten there before but since you guys don't provide table service. Cashier service could have been a little friendlier. The cashier was visibly impatient as my mother was trying to figure out what to order. Speaking of doggie, unlike previous times we had to ask twice to have water brought out for her. To their credit, the two bussers were pleasant and one star remains because of the bussers who acknowledged my fur child. Another star remains for the bolitas de queso (cheese balls with guava sauce) and aranitas de platano (fried green plantains). The rest of the food was forgettable, and about half of the order was left on the plate. The black beans tasted straight from out of the can, with no added seasoning. In contrast, the potato slices that came with the hamburger were extremely salty. Both my burger and mima's churrasco tasted a touch undercooked even though we requested medium well. Please, Jimmy'z Wynwood, here's hoping you bring back that quality service that made me a fan!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Miami! I go as often as I can. If you haven't visited yet, I would suggest EVERYTHING! Let pretend you'd close your eyes and point at a random menu item, I'm certain you will enjoy the surprise! Jimmy'z Kitchen creates most of my favorite Spanish-Caribbean dishes, they cater to those looking to square off inches from their wastes, have great options for the everyday sandwich lover and make amazing desserts! What I like most (other than the food duh!) is the customer service from their staff. I don't care how good the food can be at any given location, if the customer service is not right, I won't return. Head over to Jimmy'z and order their fried queso balls so that you can dip them in the best fruit God has created: GUAYABA!

    Clean restaurant with well polished bathrooms. Slightly pricier than what I would've thought this restaurant to be. A casual environment where you order your food first, take a number and the staff delivers the food to your table. I ordered the skirt steak for $16 and was impressed. Although I thought the rice and beans that came with it were dry and mediocre. My friend ordered chips and hummus that came out to $10. Thought that was over-priced. The food doesn't compare to real Miami cuban food but I would come back.

    Very good mofongo!! Seared tuna was yummy too only thing was rice wasnt so tasty as I expected. My boyfriend also ordered a side of beans and rice and he said it was lacking flavor. However FLAN was outstanding just as good as the one his grandma makes so we will def will come back.

    Located two blocks away from wynwood walk! So we stopped by for lunch after a short visit around wynwood neighborhood!! Their mojo pork was very tender, onion flavor was infused into the pork! Jerked chicken salad was good! Chicken breast was not that dry, and jerk sauce was slightly spicy! Very good place for a quick lunch around that neighborhood!

    Disappointed :-/ The only thing worth having from our meal of bolitas de queso, aranitas, churrasco mofongo, coconut AND caramel flan was the flan. The cheese balls were ok, the rest left a lot to be desired. The nats continuously harassed me while I ate so that made it uncomfortable.

    Loved it. After a really hot day visiting the walls, my friends were hungry. Quickly yelp searched and found this place a block over. I had the portebello chicken. I love mushrooms and the potatoes were great and tasty. No complaints. My friends had the prime burger, and one commented saying it was the best burger she ever had. SO i'll assume it wasn't too bad. Wasnt too crowded, and the A/C made me happy. Prices weren't as bad as i expected. I paid like 11 dollars and i was so full after the chicken.

    Jimmy's is great. It's fast but healthy, which is hard to find. Their portions are nice, especially with their salads. You will definitely be full from a soup and salad. I've had the ahi tuna and Greek salad multiple times, both delicious, seasoned well, and filling. Definitely will continue to come back.

    I am a great fan of JK and have been referring people since writing my initial review. I have to update you to say make sure you dine-in as the delivery order was abysmal. Today we ordered hummos, creole chicken and the churrasco with soup and an extra side of maduros. The hummos came looking stale, and the supposedly crisp toast was packaged with the wet hummos and and salad and reached us as an unholy, pappy mess - photo attached of the hummos. The frijoles that came with the churrasco were unpalatable. The maduros side -photo also attached - were the wrong side of caramelized, with a distinct burnt taste. However for me, the most disappointing thing was asking for a side of their great home-made chili sauce which was forgotten. I didn't want to be obnoxious by repeating myself on the phone and pissing off the staff and unfortunately I won't be ordering again. I will eat in but I recommend you do not get delivery. I hope JK can take a bit more care over the quality of the food they let leave their kitchen, especially since I received an email recently asking for my vote for some best in Miami competition.

    Nice bet for a fresh and healthy meal in Wynwood! I first came to Jimmy'z to try mofongo, a traditional Puerto Rican dish consisting of fried green plantains and a whole lot of flavor. There's a reason this place is acclaimed for making some of the best and if you're like me and have never ate it before, this is a good place to try it first. I've had both the chicken and shrimp versions and really enjoyed both. The serving size is big enough for two meals which is always a plus. Now, if you're looking for something a little less heartier, the good news is that Jimmy'z has a huge selection of salads, sandwiches and other appetizer and entree options. On my last lunchtime visit, I got the seared ahi tuna salad. What came was a HUGE bowl filled with all sorts of fresh veggies topped with delicious fish and a tasty soy ginger vinaigrette served on the side. Seriously, I kept eating and eating and it seemed like it was never going to end! Even though it's pretty casual (you order at the counter, grab a number and sit down), they host events and happy hour! I haven't been to their other outposts in Pinecrest or SoBe, but I love how this spot embodies the spirit of Wynwood with some awesome art and a nice urban feel. All in all, I'd highly recommend this place for any meal because you really can find something that sounds good no matter what you're in the mood for. It's not the cheapest place but you're paying for high quality ingredients and super fresh flavor.

    Chicken mofongo was very good, but churrasco was very thought. Cheese flan not the best one, but at least is not too sweet. Environment is very casual and busy for lunch.

    I lost count of the amount of times I've been here. What I am aware of is that I keep coming back, and every time I do, it's a good enough eating experience to keep me repeating the visit.

    I was looking for homemade chicken soup in my neighborhood to help me with a summer cold and found Jimmy'z right nearby. It was perfect. Just like homemade with a rich broth, chunky chicken and loaded with fresh cooked veggies. I added some spice with some Indian pickle just to help kick out the cold. Then we went back today for lunch and had the soup again at a very reasonable $4 plus we shared the seared tuna sandwich. Thus was seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Loaded with chunks of seared fresh tuna with arugula on a rye bread with a spicy mayo type of sauce. It was just purely delicious. The restaurant was packed and for good reason. You have to applaud a place that does cafeteria style sandwiches, soups and salads with such care and freshness. Reasonably priced as well.

  • Thomas B.

    Today's special was a quinoa /kale salad with avocado, carrots tomato in a citrus vinaigrette. All delicious when I added the ahi tuna - even better. But for the price :-( Proportion of Kale to quinoa was favored more to kale. Kale is a garnish mostly - MORE Quinoa please at least. Kale was good and you keep the same just more quinoa

  • Hermen R.

    I am officially impressed with the shrimp Mofongo!! ($18) What a delicious meal. They do have more reasonable alternatives, $8-9 paninis & sandwiches and $10-17 entrees. Ordered the Mofono after reading some raving reviews, it exceeded expectations. Glad to have gone over my budget for this treat. Food 5 stars. Service 5 stars. Location/environment 2 stars. Restaurant was hard to find, 1st time here. Parking was not so bad for Miami standards. The restaurant doesn't have a "feel." It's "soulless" for lack of a better term, at least the Wynwood location. But great food and service. Can accommodate groups.

    I recently visited my parents in Parkland, FL for a few days. On a beautiful Sunday, my wife, sis and I borrowed their car and headed south to Wynwood for a few hours of sun and fun. The main goal was to see the Wynwood Walls. Unfortunately they were closed for a private event that day. So we had a ton of time to kill. We figured eating would be the move. After a quick "Nearby" search on Yelp, we landed on Jimmy'z as they had a great review to star ratio. Which ended up being completely accurate. First off, it was very quiet. We weren't complaining though. I'm from NYC, where restaurants are crazy busy on Sunday afternoons for brunch. According to one of the employees, it's much busier on the weekdays. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table outside. We took in the cool shade that came with our seating and nice breeze coming off North Miami Ave. There wasn't much vehicle or foot traffic that day. Very relaxing. We enjoyed the yuca fries (a special that day) for appetizers. I had the shrimp mofongo which was among the best I've ever tasted. Nice-sized portion too. My wife had the roasted pork which was equally tasty. And the kicker? If you purchase a whole bottle of wine, you get 20% off the bottle. You just have to purchase it on a separate check as it requires the management to swipe a special discount card. We enjoyed a nice Riesling with our meals. Jimmy'z was merely a great place we (some out-of-towners with an appetite and no strong recommendations to go on) happened to stumble on thanks to Yelp and we scored big time. So please use this as an official recommendation if you happen to be in the area and want something quick, tasty and hearty.

    I've been to this establishment many times and every time I was never disappointed. I believe I've eaten everything they have to offer. The customer service has always been excellent and the restaurant always clean. I never had a bad experience here. They are always consistent. My absolute favorite is the churrasco mofongo. From the savory sauce to the perfectly cooked flank steak and the moist mofongo, I've ordered this item more than any item in the menu. Now, I take pride in being a carnivore. I love steak, but these guys make bad ass salads. My favorite, the jerk chicken salad. The chicken cooked right with the right amount of heat. The avocados and mangoes were ripe. I mean I could go on and on about their food but you have to try it out yourself. Unfortunately I moved back to NYC and this place is now over 1,000 miles away.

  • Steven S.

    I absolutely loved this place. The person who took the order was so helpful and when the food came out it was nothing short of amazing. The salad was perfect with a delicious balsamic dressing and the Mofongo was out of this world. There was zero to complain about and everything to love. Healthy Puerto Rican food. Who knew?

  • Patrick T.

    I love this place. Steps away from my third consecutive meal here. It's quick to order, food is fresh and not instantly prepared, inside seating and shaded outside area, wonderful all-around. The music isn't blasting, and so my soft, slightly monotoned voice can be heard across the table. This is important for me, maybe it is for you, too! The steak salad, that's my recommendation.

  • El K.

    I'm back (for the umphteenth time) for more of Jimmy'z. This time with 8 guests (family from the suburbs.) I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed here. Jimmy'z is quite consistent and that is appealing to me (I guess it is to most people.) All my reviews of Jimmy'z have been five stars until today. Sorry guys (you know I'm a big fan,) but it's only four stars today. The "blackened grilled chicken breast layered with marinated grilled onions, provolone cheese, and roasted pepper aioli" was lacking flavor which is unbelievable as blackened anything usually has a kick to it. I couldn't believe it, so I cut it into several pieces and had others try it and everyone agreed; the bread was good though. LOL On to the "thinly sliced Filet Mignon sauteed with onions, mushrooms and topped with melted provolone cheese on hoagie bread." Well, kind of hard to describe, but I'll try ... gristle in a steak sandwich is not pleasant as having to pull it out of your mouth (the gristle) in front of other people is not the most pleasant thing to have to do (I suppose I could have taken a napkin to my mouth ... oops.) The chunks of steak were also too big and that lead to more chewing than necessary for a steak sandwich; the bread was good though. LOL I've now removed both sandwiches from my list of items I would eat again (it's ok as they have plenty more to choose from.) Having said that, the other six dishes we ordered were fine (as usual) and overall, my guests were very pleased. Today's big hit was the mofongo with creole shrimp; that gets five stars in itself as does the mofongo with mojo pork. Another guest had the Grilled Churrasco and Chimichurri and that was a hit also as was the blackened mahi-mahi. We had no desserts today (we walked somewhere else for that.) I will continue to recommend Jimmy'z and I will definitely return ... Again and again.

    Best mofongo! Their pork is amazing too and their potatoes. The staff is pretty friendly. Everything our table of 5 tried was excellent! The service is a tad bit slow which is why they get a 4 star rating.

  • Letty M.

    If you want awesome mofongo you must come here. It's perfectly made. The shrimp mofongo is my favorite. If your allergic to shellfish the Churrasco is my next choice. For appetizers, try the cheese balls. Very good filled with yellow cheese. You order and they bring the food to your table kind of style. True Puerto Rican mofongo

  • Laura W.

    Jimmy'z is pretty far off the beaten path as far as graffiti walls go. You walk through four blocks of houses to get there. Service is fast, and the jerk chicken salad was good. The espresso had no crema, and was only mediocre. Plenty of indoor seating and it was air conditioned. Still, there are other places more in the heart of it all.

  • Sabrina F.

    Wow. Just wow. I could not be more impressed with a restaurant. I committed a giant no no tonight. Inadvertently, we walked into jimmyz 10 minutes before closing time. I immediately felt bad when the person taking our order told us the kitchen was about to close. Why I thought they stayed open past 10 on Tuesday, really is beyond me. I guess it's a bad Miami habit. I asked if they were still taking orders and they were. Thankfully cuz we were a hungry bunch. We of course, committing another major no no ordered 5 Mofongos 4 with churrasco and 1 with shrimp, that may I say, we're cooked to perfection and incredibly delicious. Nothing short of phenomenal. Their cheeseballs with guava? To. Die. For. The staff was accommodating, very friendly and so nice. We sat down and had dinner and we talked for such a long time that it was already an hour past closing time. (don't judge me I swear it wasn't on purpose, and we weren't the only table) Not once did anyone come over kicking us out they came over to offer us anything else and see if we were ok. That's what I call amazing customer service. I already loved jimmyz but after last night's experience I love it even more, didn't know that was possible. Make sure to check this place out not only is the food out of this world but the customer service, if you can believe it, is even better. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

  • Michelle C.

    I could eat there roasted veggie Panini for lunch every day. (you had me at goat cheese.) And the bread they used to make that sandwich, I need to find out if they'll sell me a loaf just on its own. I thought this was the perfect sandwich/salad lunch place, until I discovered their steak frites. Holy shit balls. With that garlic butter melting over it, just to be over-the-top. I would, however, advise against doing this to go. The fries underneath the steak are delicious. And Styrofoam boxes are the enemies of fries.

  • Diana H.

    I will definitely be returning here! The decor is beautiful with art from local artists. I tried the simple green salad and the plantain arañitas. The plantain arañitas are fried plantains that were shredded. They were very good but I wish it had a better sauce than a ketchup/mayo. The simple green salad with chicken was really good! First of all it was huge!! It came in a huge metal mixing bowl and had the dressing on the side. The salad was extremely fresh and had a good variety of greens, tomatoes, avocados and cucumbers. The chicken was nicely grilled and was a perfect temperature for the salad. It was not chilled or extremely hot. The best thing i tried was the coconut flan! It was beyond amazing!!! It was creamy, but had almost like a sponge cake texture with a caramelized crust and coconut flakes throughout. Amazing!!

    I really enjoyed Jimmy'z! They were at The Yelpies event, so that's where I first learned about them. Based on reviews, we went with the mofongo, & I am glad we did. I had the one with the chicken. The mofongo was perfectly seasoned & moist enough. Some places make it so dry that swallowing a bite is almost as impossible as it is scary. Not here! We also had the aranitas, which were also very good. I'm glad I listened to my fellow yelpers & shared one because they are ENORMOUS. The space is clean & cute, & they were playing electronic dance music (TEED, Disclosure, etc) which I thought went well with the space & it wasn't too loud to annoy my mom, aunt & uncle :) I will definitely be back!

  • Nick S.

    Interesting little local chain restaurant. They serve semi traditional Latin American cuisine with craft bottle beer / wine while watching tv and listening to music. Anyway on to the only information that should be posted in a review, unless drinking. The MOFONGO with pork and mojo sauce is simply tasty. First time trying mofongo so consider that. The pork and the mofongo was a little dry. I can understand dryness in the mofongo considering the ingredients but not for the pork. The pork should be moist, if it is supposed to be according to tradition. All three parts did have good flavor. Use the mojo sauce for moisture and the dish comes out nicely. The DESSERT satisfies the sweet tooth nicely. I don't know where (they ship in from a bakery) they get the COOKIES but the turtle is almost worth the pain of the fourteen mile hike it will take to burn it off. And the MANGO CHEESECAKE is basic cheesecake with mango sauce on top. It is good but not the best cheesecake I have had. Overall, this place isn't bad nor great. I think you can do better AND cheaper in more traditional parts of town. Think mom and pop owned and operated establishments. Therefore, two stars. Sorry guys.

  • Eddie D.

    I have to say the inconsistent food and service are making me consider giving up on this place. Clearly the owners have their attention on there new locations. On a recent night the shrimp creole was watery with nearly nonexistent creole sauce. (The photo I posted during another visit. That experience was considerably better.) When someone asked about our food and I complained about the sauce, the response was that the kitchen had been swamped. So what! Then the employee continued by asking about the ahi tuna appetizer, to which I remarked that the tuna was quite good. I was floored by the response: 'well at least that was good. Frankly I was beside myself. And by the way the rice was overlooked. Too bad that this restaurant which helped pioneer this neighborhood has been such a letdown recently.

    Worst pork moron go I've ever had. It probably wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't for the price. 17$ for a soggy, salty mofongo. I was impressed when I saw it was 17$ but thought perhaps was gonna be outstanding. So disappointed. Mofongo is meant to be dry. With fried pork. Sauce on the side. This was mushy, soggy and just bad for 17$. The kale quinoa salad was ok. The dressing was made with apple cider vinegar and tasted nothing like it as described. Perhaps there are better things at this place and I was just not lucky. The service was good. Super friendly. That star goes to them.

    CULINARY ART Midweek it's super quiet in the Wynnwood Art District.. We were in Wynwood to met a friend and together preview New World School of the Arts graduates' art exhibit Afterwards we would walk a few blocks to Jimmy'z for dinner. It's been a couple years since the last visit and restaurant interior is pretty much the same. The periodic sidewalk gatherings with the live band is of the past. It only takes a few apartment dwellers to object. Our three entrees were delivered one at a time which allowed us to share at a more comfortable pace. First to arrive was the Salad Nicose, next Bone in Ribeye (medium rare) with garlic potatoes and the finale with Mojo Pork. Honestly, the last entree more than topped the gas tank. All three entrees were exquisitely and perfectly prepared. We couldn't ask for better.

    My company stopped here while on an event venue tour in Wynwood and we all loved it! Nice and bright open space...very inviting. I order the Seared Ahi Tuna salad....DELICIOUS!! It was nice large salad, I fact I didn't get to eat the entire thing! The yuca fires are amazing and the fried cheese balls are off the chain with their guava sauce. It had us all ordering more! It takes a lot to impress a company that prides its self as a luxury caterer-we all loved it. I'm definitely making it one of my new spots!

    This place is every bit as good as the Yelp reviews say it is. Stopped here for lunch after doing a gallery crawl - it's in the Wyndham Arts District - and I wasn't disappointed! I ordered the Steak Frites and a glass of Cabernet (they only have a couple reds and whites by the glass, but it's great wine). It was fabulous. Not only delicious, but the presentation was superb - even for a place where you order at the counter and take a number to put on your table for the server. They have tons of great beer by the bottle, and a superb set of wines by the bottle also. What a find! If you come to the area to visit the museums/galleries, make a point of eating here - you won't be disappointed!

    I wanted to give this place more stars but I couldn't ... It used to be much better. The food quality is down & no professional service anymore. My fav plate was the Ahi seared tuna special: Tuna Overcooked!! Rice undercooked. I also ordered a Greek salad it's quite good & price is fair $7.99, I asked to add shrimp side to it I get 4 shrimps for $10.25! More than the price of the salad itself. Btw I've attached a picture of the shrimp side & receipt. You wouldn't pay $2 for these shrimps! Very disappointed with food quality & their "professional" response to customers complains. Will take my business somewhere else

  • Christiano C.

    Great food and great beer list to pair with food. Owner is attentive and very nice. Everything has an American-Puerto Rican fusion to it, but all the food screams Latin - and that's a good thing! I started with an Ahi Tuna Tiradito, which was very spicy and very delicious! The sauce that was left at the bottom of the plate made me wish for some bread to dip in it, but as soon as I thought of it my main course arrived; GIANT scallops, grilled, with a potato, green onion and corn hash. Superb! My wife ordered a Kale, quinoa and roasted jalapeño vinaigrette salad with shrimp. Very tasty too! Desserts looked pretty good, but we had no room for it... No biggy, because I'll go back many times for sure!

    I normally order chicken creole, I love it!! Only problem is I hate when food is served cold or somewhat cold. Other than that this place is very nice. And it's in the heart of wynwood, it's a nice area to walk around and enjoy artwork. I recommend getting the groupon!! It's a great deal!

    I initially got turned on to the Nikita's de queso at a Yelp event. The crispy outside, warm gooey inside with the sweet guava sauce rounds out the best bite of the night. The hummus platter is huge. It's enough to feed an army. It was delicious and filling. The mofongo is also very tasty with the creole sauce and whatever meat of your choice. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.

  • Joseph S.

    I think four stars is perfect for Jimmyz Kitchen. Eating lunch today was wonderful. We ordered green fried plantains and the cheese balls with guava for appetizers. First of all the cheese balls are an absolute must. The best thing that we tried and I would go back just for those delicious puffs of cheesy goodness. The green plantain fried chip "things" were interesting. I'm a huge fan, the cut the plantains into thin strips and fry a bunch of strips together in a ball, definitely some of the best "chips"I have ever had. These are prepared uniquely and a little messy but they would go great with a beer. The mofongo seemed like the dish to have, I'm not a huge fan of mofongo but they prepared it very well. The tomato sauce created for the base is delicious! I will definitely be heading back there for lunch great atmosphere plus they are dog friendly!

  • Andre C.

    First time at the place. Ordered a churrasco mofongo, it came as a plain churrasco order, well bad for the service. I was hungry and not on a complain mood. The churrasco itself was ordered medium, it came well done. My girlfriend chicken portobello was ok but came a little colder than it should.. In any case the tomato avocado salad saved the food. All that with a fat tire beer cost $51, expensive for what it presented... Sorry to say but the place does not worth the stars that it has, and I won't return..

  • Dan R.

    Overpriced. Asked for extra salad dressing and they charged me $2.00. Entire menu is hit or miss. I've been multiple times only bc its walking distance to my office and I hate driving for lunch. They've also mixed up my order 1/3 of the time. It always seems like staff doesn't understand their POS terminals and have a nervous breakdown while they mess up everyone's orders.

    I am out of town and came here for dinner. This turned out to be my dining worst experience ever.

So yeah.. not fun experience at all.

    Yummy!! We came here after a horrible experience at KUSH. We ordered the bolitas de queso and they were delish!!!! Fresh and hot. My bf ordered the steak frites with rice and fries and I ordered the Churrasco Mofongo. Both entrees were delicious. The Mofongo had too much creole sauce which over powered the dish. The other reason why I didn't rate them 5 stars is because I think that the prices are a little high for a order at the register restaurant vs server taking your order at your table. But overall it was great and would recommend it!!

    Minutes away from Wynwood walls and definitely worth the walk. After you get the famous and very fulfilling mofongo make sure to grab a cookie. They are oh so good. Oh! And check in on yelp if you want a free coffee. ;)

    This has been my favorite in recent years site and whenever I see a Boricua I recommend it, but this time (06/28/15) was not a good experience or with the service or the food, first the cashier did not understand was asking for it, he brought me the order with something that you had said on several occasions that it is not wrong and as I imagime mistake the other thing is that I can't believe that the order would bring a steak to medium as 4 inches and I did it knowing the cashier who brought me the order and I contest that was mistake it of the error on the plate but with the of the churrsco was the Cook and she did not do the gesture of going where him. It from my wife was good but much more smaller than the usual for one pay $17.95 for a mofongo with churrasco. I hope to go back and check if it was just this time, but at least I not come back it is to recommend to anyone. Este ha sido mi sitio favorite en los ultimos anos y siempre que veo un Boricua se lo recomiendo, pero esta vez (06/28/15) no fue una Buena experiencia ni con el servicio ni la comida, primero la cajera no sabia ni entendia lo estaba pidiendo, me trajo la orden con algo que le habia dicho en varias ocasiones para que no se equivocara y como me imagime se equivoco, la otra cosa es que no puedo creer que la orden trajera un churrasco que media como 4 pulgadas y se lo hice saber a la cajera que me trajo la orden y me contest que fue error de ella lo del error en el plato pero con lo del churrsco era el cocinero y ella no hizo el gesto de ir donde el. El de mi esposa estuvo bien pero mucho mas pequeno que lo de costumbre para uno pagar $17.95 por un mofongo con churrasco. Espero volver y verificar si solo fue esta vez, pero por lo menos yo no se lo vuelvo a recomendar a nadie. Jose Martell

    I ordered a blackened chicken panini in and a snapple. I've never ordered delivery from this place so the least they could've done was let me know there was a $3 delivery charge even though I'm very close by and could've picked it up. When the delivery guy showed up, he arrived without my snapple and was told I had to call so someone can come back. I found this pretty unprofessional and being my first time ordering delivery I probably won't order delivery again and just pick up when I happen to be in the area. The panini was good.

    Today has been a long day so I wanted something fast and quick which was exactly what I got! I have been here before and it always good! Today I had tried the hummus and it was really good. I'm not really coherent right now but jimmy hits the spot.

    My boyfriend absolutely loves this place. The first time I visited I had the mofongo and it was delicious. The second time I visited I had a sandwich, which is not really the best bang for your buck. I had the blackened chicken sandwich and I wasn't really blown away. It's pretty overpriced for what it is and it doesn't even bring a side. The cookies are huge and delicious. My favorite is the coconut chocolate chip.

    Wynwood has become one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Miami! If you're anything like me, the thought of paying $20 for parking (valet and/or DIY) is NOT the way you want to start an outing for lunch or dinner. Sorry Miami Beach, but you don't even my brainwaves when contemplating trying out a new spot to indulge my foodie fantasies. With its artsy vibe, colourful murals, plentiful street parking and smiley people, Wynwood is where it's at for this chick! I'd heard great things about Jimmy'z, but just hadn't quite had the chance to drop in. Post-Ramadan, this was EXACTLY the kind of delish my body craved! I opted for the Jerk Chicken Breast salad and it was bang bangin'! Loved how fresh everything was, from the scrumptious sliced mangos to the perfectly plum avocados, sliced almonds added a tasty crunch & texture to the perfectly grilled chicken breast, and the "sherry" on top (sherry vinaigrette) was so yummy! Lots of healthy food options to choose from, friendly service & ultra reasonable prices make this a place I'll most definitely be coming back to

    Great sandwiches & paninis at great prices. Love that you can have a beer even though it's a sandwich shop.

    I was very impressed with the food here! Would definitely come again, good prices and fresh ingredients. Had the blackened chicken panini, so so good. The carrot ginger soup however tasted like sweet potato puree without ginger, wouldn't order that one again. Would honestly come again just for that panini!

  • Dani B.

    Food was really good. We had the steak and one of the chicken pesto panninis. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because there were some items that were not in the menu and I wish I tried them. We asked for recommendation but the cashier ladies did not offer much. My phone was out of battery and could not check yelp before ordering. I guess I missed out. Might have to come back soon and try the featured items.

    Absolutely loved Jimmy'z - the kale and quinoa salad we ordered was amazing and the hummus sandwich was to die for.... Lots of veggie and healthy options... nothing bad to say about Jimmy'z - it rocks! Would absolutely not hesitate to recommend and will definitely be back! :-)

    I was on a recent impromptu trip to Miami. Normally, I would scope out, plan and read up on latest trends in the Miami Dining scene. Since time wasn't on my side, I elected to let the front desk staff at Element Miami International Airport Hotel guide me. After what everyone in Orlando seems to think of as the best Latin food in Orlando at Melao Bakery, I had to remind myself what Miami had to offer. Normally, I would go to one of my old haunts in Little Havana or Hialeah. What, you don't think the best food is in ghetto Hialeah? Think again. Ole grandmas cranking out food handed down from generations through metal barred windows. Ah the feeling of carefree youth and hunger. I perked up when the front desk agents agreed that Jimmy'z Kitchen, with three locations in Miami, was serving the best mofongo these days. Their Wynwood location is that regenerating Mid Town Miami area. It seems like every time I go down there, another dilapidated block gets reclaimed for urban use. If you are familiar with the City of Miami, there are several pockets in desperate need of redevelopment. These days it seems like big development is gobbling up land and planting condominium high rises. The really good thing about this redevelopment, smaller businesses are allowed to thrive and given new strength. Jimmy'z Kitchen Wynwood sits at the foot of a high rise condominium development in the Wynwood District. The interior is housed at one corner of the building which allows for large sidewalk seating. The restaurant is very casual, but we are talking Miami casual here. Ripped jeans, T Shirts, short skirts, skater shorts, body suits, are taken to a whole different level. The vibe is neighborly chill. Open concept leads to natural woods, metals and plastics. The urban industrial chic décor allows for counter service with full menu, beer and wine. Although, I always pause when there is so much emphasis on craft beer and bottles of wine and then there are two choices of red and white wine by the glass. You guessed it, this is a red. Tasted like a Pinot Noir on the verge of turning. Oh well, I should have known better. But it was palatable. Blackened Swordfish - A little on the done side, but well seasoned. The fish itself was a hefty cut that more than compensated for it's doneness. Vegetables were a bit soggy. Jasmine rice was over salted. Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce Mofongo - Churrasco was overdone and on the chewy side. Flavor was good, but texture was a mouthful. Mofongo was a good composure with elements of fattiness and firmness, but could use a little more flavor. Maybe that's where the Criollo sauce comes in, however, the sauce was bland. Flan - was too eggy. Guava Cheesecake - This stole the show. Very well balanced with pronounced flavors. It appears from our selection of food that things did not go as expected. Well, there wasn't any big disappointment. but no wow factor either. However, really cool hang out spot.

    Excellent! I am glad I had a chance to discover it via a Groupon, as I probably would not have otherwise. This is a casual eatery - you walk up to the counter and order your food. From there you get a number and the food gets delivered to your table. The place and environment was comfortable. The food excellent and the prices more then reasonable. The lady that took our food order was super nice and sweet, plus the rest of the staff seemed to be very friendly. Definitely will return - even without a Groupon :-)

    I've come to this place several times! But tonight will be the last !! I order the Beef Stew ! It was so ridiculously small , I was still hungry and for 10.99 a small portion with a load of rice!! Really bad, I watched the manager argue with a nice gentleman that apologized for the inadequate portion ! He sends her over and she offers me bread! Or some small appetizer or a dessert! I told her I would like a small amount more , she declined the offer !! Very POOR!! Decision ! Jimmies I won't be back you lost a customer! I'll eat else where!! And poor management !! I spoke Yamira , she was not very worried or seem to care !! Very poor !! You lost three regular customers!

    Tried Jimmyz for the first time today. Food was delicious and well presented. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering my questions. The seating area is very casual, music was not loud. I ordered the Portobella Chicken and and it was Devine! Will definitely be visiting Jimmyz Kitchen again soon.

  • John K.

    This place is fantastic! I stumbled in during Art Bazel last year and had the Mofongo...off the freaking charts! Very casual and super chill. Right price and cold beer to boot! Ill so be back to this place my next trip to one of my fav cities.

  • Jeniffer L.

    Love their food! Omg the mofongo Gives you life! Highly recommended. The only thing I would say is a tiny issue is the parking. I've always hated street parking but the staff is great and so is the service. And the prices are great for the quality and amount of food you get.

  • Logan J.

    Wanted somewhere affordable in Wynwood and this seemed like the best option. It's a nice casual place with friendly servers with beer and wine unlike so many walk up to order places. The prices are a bit high, but that's pretty typical for miami. I got the roasted veggie panini which was on a fabulous bread and a side salad ($12). My boyfriend got the chicken mofongo just because the reviews were good. Haha I'm still not sure what it is, maybe chicken and potatoes with creole sauce. He said it was good, but with him that's as good a compliment as any. I really wanted some cheesecake, but too full. I would come back.

  • Coral D.

    I think everything on the Menu at Jimmyz is amazing!!! The Bolitas de Queso with the guava sauce are to DIE FOR!!! So good!! The Ahi Tuna Special with the white rice and avocado salad with the most yummiest sauce to drizzle over the WHOLE ENTIRE plate yes the whole plate that's how good it is. The tuna is so perfectly seared on both sides and is full of so much flavor when the whole dish is combined. This plate is a must have if your in the neighborhood!! The Mofongo is another one of my favorite dishes the churasco one is my ultimate favorite. The meat is so juicy and the combination of the churasco and the Mofongo is just an explosion of flavors in your mouth. The Beef Stew is another personal favorite for those rainy days that all you are needing is some comfort it's the bomb! Just like a home cooked meal! And for dessert the Guava Cheesecake is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!! and then if you want something quick their jumbo cookies are also extremely tasty!!!

    I felt like I'm due for a review especially since I've been eating lunch here every day for the past 2.5 weeks. This place is awesome, consistent, and it will never let you down. I have tried the chicken & steak mofongo and both are fantastic. I have tried the following salads: the Niçoise salad, the fajita salad, & my favorite which is what I order almost every day - the chicken jerked salad. I mix their dressing with their spicy sauce, which is at the self serve counter. They know the perfect blend of spicy and flavorful. You will not go wrong eating here. Bon appetite! PS Service is great!

    One would think that Jimmy'z Kitchen would have a restaurant'z feel, but it's got the casual vibes of a low-key café instead. Order your food first, receive a number, and then seat yourself (like a fast food joint). The most popular dish wasn't even on the main menu above the cashier. What the mofo-ngo?! Besides having way too much fun saying the name, I learned that mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish of fried plantain mash. The folks at Jimmy'z recommended trying the churrasco mofongo or the pork mojo mofongo. I opted for the latter. The meat was tender but on the blander side, so I was relying heavily on the sauce to keep it flavorful. But the cursed mofongo (which honestly tasted more like french fries to me) soaked it all up in minutes! It's a race in time against that mofo. While sipping on my free shot of espresso, thanks to the check-in offer, I also had the opportunity to try a little of my friends' desserts. The caramel flan has a much thicker consistency than I'm used to, almost as creamy as a cheesecake. Speaking of cheesecake, the guava cheesecake is OK but nothing I'd write home about. All in all, a decent place to dine at but not really extraordinary.

    Churrasco mofongo was below average. Salad was average. cottage fries were really good. Sucks that the side item was the best item. Should really be 2.5 stars.

  • Carrie R.

    I regret not ordering the Mofongo because the bite from my fiancé's plate was delicious. I just wasn't hungry enough for an entree but fortunately there were plenty of options including sandwiches, paninis, and the specials of the day. I ordered the chicken prosciutto panini and it was plentiful, flavorful, melty goodness. The restaurant was clean, the service was easy- you order from the counter and you're food is brought to you. Pretty simple and painless quick dinner, I'll definitely come back and rock some of that Mofongo next time.

    I am not sure why everyone raves about this place. The food i very average at best. I had the Chicken Creole plate and wondered when I was going to taste and Creole spices. It was incredibly bland and pasted like tomato sauce. The staff is very friendly and the place is very clean. Would I go back to the place? It would not be my first or second choice. Not really sure if I would or not.

  • Tina V.

    Mofongo is not my thing then again i hate to say it but out of all the food i tried from different country, Cuban food is just not my type of food for some reason and that is a whole other story. Mussels creole with Bread: (3/5) its ok Shrimp Creole (3/5) The tomato base is soo over powering Charrasco (4/5) it was good. OVerall its my quick bite spot. But not my best.

  • William O.

    Jimmy'z is one of those places that -- sadly -- I don't frequent as often as I'd like. I mean, it is damn near the perfect restaurant. As far as the menu goes, it is eclectic in the oddest of ways. Usually, I HATE this. I'm of the variety who believes that you pick one, two, or three things, and you do them well. Jimmy'z kind of shatters that ideal. Their sandwiches -- from roast turkey to hummus with tomato and cucumber salsa -- their salads -- the Jerk Chicken salad is both a house and a William O. favorite -- and their mofongo -- their's FREAKING mofongo -- are all top notch. I mean, I've never once had anything from which I've walked away thinking, "Meh." Never and not a once. Jimmy'z is just so representative of the area. A cool little restaurant boasting a respectable beer selection, bottles of wine, modern decor, and in walking district from NW 2nd Ave and the heart of Wynwood. I would say that my only gripe is that you don't really have waiter service. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I don't know, I think a waiter would make this more a hangout than just a place for a quick bite, and if you've ever been here and have enjoyed their music and the floor-to-ceiling windows feeding you the outside world, then you know exactly what I mean. Then again, maybe that's not what Jimmy'z is going for. Maybe Jimmy'z wants you to break through those floor-to-ceiling barriers so you can get out in the world and speak to a stranger. And that's pretty cool, too.

    It's a tradition all right! Today I had the grilled churrasco with arugula salad....

The wines are great and they treat us like family! We love this place!

    I went here due to the enormous number of rave yelp reviews it had. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the food was sub par. There's no way they actually got all these rave reviews from actual customers

  • Gloria A.

    Came here a few months ago and forgot to write a review. Was in around lunch time so I expected it to be packed. Luckly, we placed our order and found a table. We had the crab cakes which were very good. I ordered the shrimp mofongo and was in heaven! I had been craving it for a while, being Puerto Rican it's hard to find a place that makes good mofongo. Jimmy'z Kitchen is it! I would def. come back and try them all!

    (4)

  • Elizabeth Y.

    Absolutely delicious. Gotta try the seared ahi salad and the chicken Mofongo. Mofongo can be a little heavy for some people, but they have to go boxes which you can take home. Their espresso (free with Check -In on Yelp) is delicious, and you don't have to order it at the same time as the meal. Service was top notch, given that the place is really like order and sit-down rather than a restaurant. On the pricer side. Their desserts look absolutely mouth-watering... Plenty of parking all around.

    (4)

  • Caroline D.

    I've ordered/eaten here for lunch a few times and I am OBSESSED with their Ahi Tuna seared sandwich! There's just something about the way that the seared tuna and blue cheese scallion spread combo come together; they compliment each other so well. It tastes like pieces of heaven in each bite! I will try other items eventually but this is my fave so far. If you're looking to switch up instead of having a Turkey or BLT sandwich, definitely try this!

    (5)

  • Michelle F.

    This review is strictly for the pork mofongo....one word: delicious. The mojo was perfect and the plantains were very flavorful. Restaurant has a very casual vibe (wasn't really expecting that) but at least patrons have the option of sitting indoors or outdoors. Price for the mofongo was $17.

    (4)

  • Andrea G.

    Since we moved downtown we are making an effort to visit some of the local spots to eat. After reading the great yelp reviews and the location being so close by I had to try it out. The menu is listed on the walls and you order at the counter. I was prepared and knew what I was going to order from reading reviews online but my boyfriend had no clue what dish to order because there are no descriptions or pictures. We both ordered Mofongo for the first time. I ordered churrasco and he ordered shrimp. The staff was friendly and the food came quickly. Overall I enjoyed my meal.

    (4)

  • Jann L.

    Everybody raves about the mofongo (a fried plantain-based dish) atop a bed of your choice of protein (chicken, steak, pork, your choice of seafood)... but it's not for me. Those plantains were just a dense mound of carbs that needed a long deep bath in the sauce to amount to much flavor. No bueno. The desserts swooped in and saved the day - get the flan! Dressed in thick sweet caramel, this is a wobbly custard you will want to take home with you in your belly.

    (3)

  • Daniel R.

    Delicious !!!! Bolitas de Queso with guava sauce and mofongo are among my favorites but you have numerous menu options which varied from salads, sandwiches to entrees, drinks, and desserts. I Keep coming back, never been disappointed.

    So, my review is a little late (first, and unfortunately last :( time I went was in October)....but I cannot stop singing Jimmy'z praises! When I went, I had the Fajita Salad with Chicken and OH MY GOODNESS WAS IT DELICIOUS. The chicken and caramelized onions were nice and warm, the lettuce and tortilla chips were fresh and crisp....BEST SALAD I'VE EVER HAD. I just can't get over how flavorful it was, like there are no words to explain the deliciousness that ensues when you start eating this. I dream about this salad. Now, on to the actual establishment....the staff is super friendly and the place is super clean! They also serve you a really nice amount of food and have plenty of tofu options if you're not fond of meat. All in all, it's an amazing little gem in Miami and I LOVE seeing businesses like this thrive. You can find them in Wynwood, South Beach, and Pinecrest. Happy eating!

  • Leilani D.

    Five stars for the mofongo, three to four for everything else I've tried here. All the other reviewers are right...just get the mofongo. I've had the pork, chicken, and churrasco and they were all excellent (although the chicken a little less so - only because chicken will never have the same flavor as steak/pork). I mean the moment the fork goes into your mouth you might almost shed a tear. The place itself is cute. It's the kind where you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table, and the service has always been quick. It was one of the first restaurants in a pretty shady wynwood corner, although now it's neighbored by Bloom and Pride & Joy. It's a nice open space witha sort of pop-style modern decor. One of the things I really liked was aside from the fact that the food is reasonably priced you can get a decent bottle of wine for around $20 which is almost unheard of anywhere. I came here once to have birthday dinner with a friend and he and I split a bottle of wine and had delicious meals for around $50. Not too shabby. Really though...mofongo...

  • Roger A.

    Jimmy'z is very'z average. We had the mofongo with steak and unfortunately the meat was very well done (not medium as ordered) so therefore tough. It was very disappointing because otherwise the food and drink was four stars. Tasty mofongo, a diverse selection of beers, and yummy croquettes. The Wynwood locale on the first floor of a new high rise and modern ambiance were all pluses. I wanted to give four stars but alas, no :(

    We visited for an early dinner with a Groupon yesterday. We definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and sat comfortably in the corner near the TV and beverage station. My husband and I were excited to try the mofongo and we're so glad that we did! I ordered the churrasco and my husband ordered the pork. So freaking good! He also ordered the yuca fries. Yum! Our only complaint is after parking and the 3 items we ordered, we spent over $35...and that was after the Groupon discount. Keep in mind that this is a counter service restaurant. Hard to believe it would have cost us $50 without the Groupon, and we didn't even order drinks. :-\ Maybe that's just the cost of eating in Wynwood area? It was our first experience over there.

  • Sarai G.

    I purchased a groupon for this place after reading all the great reviews on here and I honestly i don't really see what the fuzz is all about really. At first hand the lady at the cashier that took our order was totally distracted and almost send the wrong order, i had the churrasco mofongo and the meat was chewy the mofongo hard and cold. Don't waist your money here people.

    This has to be the best lunch spot ever!! Best sandwiches and entrees!! They have deals, happy hour and relax environment to enjoy some good food.

  • Ryna D.

    Had dinner here last time I was in Miami. It's a casual spot that's great any time of the day. The mofongo is stellar! I had the churrasco mofongo but I liked my boyfriend's pulled pork one better. The serving is huge and I would have been satisfied just sharing one plate. Desserts and coffee are also delightful. The flans are just yummy. They also have a great wine and beer selection. And the prices are very reasonable.

  • Sara K.

    On a recommendation from a friend, we decided to stop by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. (Easy to find, and parking along street) I was very pleased with the numerous menu options which varied from salads, sandwiches to entrees, drinks, and desserts. Easy to read, located directly above the registers. Staff seemed nice and not over the top friendly. Usually it takes me awhile to figure out what I want and I impulsively decided to order the Cubano panini. My boyfriend got the pot roast and we ended up switching meals. Little pricey for what it was, but it was good, quick, and easy! I'd probably stop by again if I'm in the area.

  • Brittany J.

    I am obsessed with their jerk chicken salad. DELISH. They are also pretty fast too, and the employees are always friendly. The only downside is I feel like it's a little overpriced for a fast food place, but then again they do give large portion sizes so I guess it's not too bad.

  • Sunem N.

    Let me start by saying my opinion of this place has changed. I use To really like it. Ive posted various pics and tips on yelp before of the food which I have enjoyed. Thats the only reason I give it 1 star. However, A large group of family and friends went this weekend to artwalk and since every restaurant had an outrageous wait time I suggested Jimmy's having been there before and had great food so thought it was worth the 5 minute walk. We called and since the place was nearly empty they were able to accommodate a large party of 15 and had the table ready for us. We ordered our food and were having a great time with family laughing. When this very rude employee comes over to our table and tells us to be quiet that we were being too loud! Which we were not (we were just laughing and having great conversation) only half of us had eaten but we were not having it, we bring you business and you're rude to us. Very disappointed! We decided to leave imidietly. We crossed the street and went over to Pride and Joy that should have been our first choice they were very attentive and nice. Jimmy's wynwood just lost alot of customers. Even though I like their food I will not be back and be treated badly.

    So I had the Pomodoro Panini in which was fresh and tasty. The plantain chips appetizer was a very nice compliment to my sandwich. I was licking my fingers. They were crunchy and the sauce was tasty. I was surprised that it was so empty on a beautiful Miami Sunday. If it's a nice day eat outside! I only wish they had more than just 2 bathrooms :-/ other than that I enjoyed the modern ambience, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff.

    Had dinner here last night with my husband and everything was AMAZING! We both ordered churrasco, i had it with mofongo, my husband had the platter with rice, beans and plantains. The meat was incredible, very well seasoned and tasted amazing with the chimicurri sauce! For dessert we shared a coconut guava cookie... wish we would have each ordered out own tho... It was heaven in a cookie! Definitely recommend anyone thats in the midtown or south beach area!

    Oh man, I'm so disappointed. I decided to go tonight to JK to get my jerk chicken salad on (to go, I should add) and was beyond excited because it's one of my favorite salads ever. I walked in, tried to stay away from the sweets that were calling my name (I lost that fight, had to order the Nutella cookie....yes, you read correctly, NUTELLA cookie). The guy at the register who took my order promised it would not disappoint, which it did not. It was solid, not mind blowing, but anything with Nutella in it is usually worth the calories. After some time, the guy hands me my salad in a bag and I head back to the crib to watch trash tv aka Bravo. I dig into the salad and I immediately notice that the chicken is a little cold. I was so hungry that I was willing to look past it but after I attempted to chew the second strip of chicken, I notice that it's unchewable (probably not a word?). What the F JK? Ugh, so I try a couple more pieces to make sure I wasn't crazy and sure enough they tasted and felt like rubber. Seriously, it was a complete waste of money and had I been dining in, I would've definitely complained (which I absolutely hate doing). It was just that terrible and even though I usually order from the South Beach location, this has definitely put me off to JK all together. What a shame because we had a good thing going for a while.

  • Blue A.

    Was in the area with a buddy and had heard such great things we decided to stop in. It was 11:02 (they closed at 11:00) but the guy behind the counter told us we could still order. I thought that was great. Usually you are ran out of a business if they are closing. I ordered the steak sandwich and mofongo. I have never had mofongo but read the reviews and there seemed to be alot of fans. I was not a fan. I can't judge if this one was good/better than others but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Too dry, even with the sauce...and just...flavorless? Maybe I am crazy. But the portion is huge for a side ($7) . Now....the steak sandwich? WOW. I'll go on a limb and say it was the best/tastiest steak sandwich I have ever had. The steak was perfect. The mushrooms and onions great. The bread super soft. With some melted provolone on top....perfect. The restarant was empty but had a cool setup and of course super trendy furniture. I thought it was cool they text you your total and give you an update on "points" towards rewards. I will return and try some other things on the menu - or maybe just grab another steak sandwich.

    If you're looking for a great Puerto Rican, Cuban, ect. place in Miami and you can only eat at one, definitely eat here. It's the best combination of it all. I did my yelp research and this is where it brought us before catching our flight on our way out of Miami. What a great last meal! Of course I had to order the chicken Mofongo. In the center is a ball of mashed fried plantains and spices, surrounded by a delicious blend of tomato sauce and tender chicken breast pieces. It's so unique and so good. They also had all kinds of pulled pork and jerk chicken options, I just couldn't decide. I wish they would come to San Diego and open one, we have nothing like this! Definitely a layover-worthy stop.

    I love mofongo and was told this is the place to get good mofongo. I never heard of Jimmyz before and didn't know what kind of place it was. I took a chance and came to try it. It was so comfortable and cute. Just order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. My mofongo arrived with plenty of roasted port. It was very good although it wasn't the way I have had it in the past and it was a little bit salty. Mofongo is traditionally served in a wood mortar and Jimmyz serves it on a plate in a sauce or some kind of broth. It's good but different than what I am used to. Next time I want to try it with fried pork to see if I like it more. We also had a pork dish. The pork and the sides were very good.

    I saw a mofongo restaurant on Travel channel and was set to find one ever since! When visiting Miami, I heard Jimmy'z Kitchen had some of the best mofongos in town. I just had to go check it out!! Was it everything I imagined it to be? YES! and more!! At $17, it's a little more expensive than everything else on their menu. But the portion is pretty big, so it can justify the price. I ordered the Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce Mofongo. The Churrasco was cooked to perfection! While Chimichurri sauce was wonderful! The flavors complimented each other perfectly. Also, seeing that I loveeeeee fried plantains... Mofongos and I were destined to be soul mates. The restaurant itself is casual. You go up and order your food, find your own seat, and they bring it out to you. For parking, we weren't really sure where to park. We found some street parking in a neighborhood 2-3 blocks away.

    Despite the 4 star ratings, I wasn't impressed with Jimmy'z Kitchen. The cashier recommended the shrimp mofongo, so I ordered it..it was dry and flavorless and had large chunks of plantains in it! Worse, the shrimp were sitting in a very tart creole sauce. I couldn't even use it to moisten up the plantains! Definitely a miss. Try Bennie's seafood if you want good Mofongo! We also ordered hummus and a corn soup for starters. The soup wasn't bad, but the hummus was served right out of the fridge and was too cold! I prefer mine closer to room temperature. My friend had one of the specials...some type of baked fish and rice. That wasn't memorable either. The best thing on the menu was the Cappuccino!

    This is a simple and tasty alternative to going out to dinner. I had the Mojo Pork dish. The pork was tender and juicy and they give you a heaping cup or two of rice and beans. The beans were a bit bland but, okay. They have a variety of craft beers and good desserts. Overall a nice time.

    On our last day in Miami we decided to come here for lunch before heading out to the airport. One of our friends had brought back a Mofongo dish the night before and we scarfed it up, even though it was cold and had been sitting around a few ours. We wanted to taste a fresh mofongo. The location itself seemed kind of odd. It was in what appeared to be a multi level business building and it looked like a cafeteria you find in hospitals or colleges. Its a walk up and order then sit place, so you have to decide what you want in line. The main menu had salads and sandwiches. Thats not what were there for. On the side wall, in a chalkboard was the hand written Mofongo menu. The menu included shrimp, pork, seafood, and churrasco with chimichurri. I went with the churrasco, which was cooked well and had good flavor on its own. But it felt inconsistent with the mofongo and the creole sauce. It was like have two different entrees. I would recommend the Mojo Pork or the shirimp creole as the seem to go better with the mofongo itself. But all were good. On another note, the creole sauce seemed more like a marinara, but it was still good. We also had yucca fries which were pretty good. One note, the location is a bit off the beaten path during the day and it was very difficult to find a cab back to the hotel.

    Consistently great food with great service. We did a mixed medley of sandwiches today. Steak sandwich which was like a Philly cheese, tasted great, blackened chicken which was served full Chicken breast great seasoning and sauce and finally chicken salad sandwich whole grain bread with lettuce and tomato. Always a great bite with consistent quality. They have coffee and espresso to wash down any of the great desserts.

    I was totally disappointed. Fast food setup, high-end restaurant prices. Food was not tasty. The Churrasco Mofongo was not tasty. The steak was half the portion than that pictured on their website, but the price was full size, for sure. Not impressed at all. Will not recommend to anyone... ever.

    I love this place for a casual lunch or dinner. Everything I've ever ordered here is delicious. The mofongo is awesome (I don't recommend this if you have to go back to work after), the cookies and flan are amazing, the aranitas are addicting, and I also love the beef stew. Everything just has so much flavor and it seems as though they take pride in their food, the way it should be. I think everything here is homemade or atleast it tastes like it. And they have a variety of options, like salads, sandwiches, soups. They also have a great selection of wines and beers too. And the price is definitely fair. The people there are friendly and they serve you quickly. We love it so much, we even had them cater one of our parties. For pick up and delivery, it's just as fast and delicious.

    Really great music from the likes of Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, and Mary J. My gf and I loved Jimmys' kitchen. I'm really impressed by the quality of the food, as I was under the impression this was going to be slightly like a "food fast" establishment. All in all, the food was awesome! The craft beer selection is one that you can respect as a craft beer enthusiast and not just your typical blue moon and Sam Adams, like any should consider those crafts anyway loll! Wine selection looks pretty boss as well, we will have to give that a try on our next visit!

    This is prob one of the most consistent places ive been to! The service is ALWAYS amazing and the food Is even better! As our appetizer, we got the bollitas de queso.. If you come here and don't get it you're not doing yourself justice!! It's not on the regular menu though, look to the board on your right for the specials.. You won't be dissapointed :) The Cobb salad here is prob the best I've EVER had.. (I'm allergic to blue cheese so I sub feta) .. The portions of each item it are cut perfectly so you can just pour the dressing and enjoy! Soo we still haven't tried the mofungo which is one of their specials that they are praised for.. NEXT TIME.. All in all if you didn't try any of the things I said, you HAVE to try the guava cheesecake for dessert.. WOW is all I have to say!

    Just moved here and ordered delivery from this spot. Fast and great service , nice delivery guy and it was easy to order. Chicken mofongo was spectacular, the kale and quinoa salad was really yummy and a great value, and the yucca fries nicely seasoned with a tasty dipping sauce. Only thing I'd say the yucca could have been a bit more fried. I see this easily becoming a neighborhood favorite!

    First time, I tried this mofongo dish. I've order chicken mofongo, and it was pretty good. The mofongo texture tasted moist. The chicken was delicious. I recommend that you try Jimmy mofongo dish. It remind me of Dominican Republic. I've order delivery. The food was still warm. It's a lot of mofongo in the plate which will be good for sharing.

    I used to go with the pleneros and the energy was amazing! Definitely miss that! Unfortunately the few times I've been for lunch, the chicken and sauce for the mofongo were cold and bland. Very disappointing and not a true representation of PR cuisine.

    The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I used to swear by them being a regular and a local, but in the last few weeks, they have gone under. This was the third time I've ordered a soup from them and no spoon. Last time, they forgot the soup altogether. They are friendly but service quality is going under. Be warned.

    I'm giving this place 2 stars because: The cheese balls appetizer and the coco chocolate chip cookie were good. I had high expectations for the mofongo based on all the great reviews. I ordered the churrasco mofongo and it was not good. The churrasco was extremely rubbery and the mofongo was very dry. And to top it off, the girl at the register was rude.

    I like that Jimmy'z now has a location where you can sit and eat. The casual ordering system appealed to me as well. The gal behind the counter was very friendly. We ordered the seared tuna sandwich to share and wanted a little something to go along with it. This is where they lose a star because they were out of almost everything on the starters menu. No chickpea fritters, no fried yuca, no corn souffle. Very disappointed. We went with the fried cheese balls instead. So, how was the food? Excellent! The tuna was a large portion and was seared perfectly. It was served on thick toasty bread with plenty of arugula for garnish. The sandwich comes with a blue cheese scallion sauce that we requested on the side as I DO NOT LIKE blue cheese. The gal behind the counter assured us that the blue cheese flavor was very mild, but she did not fully understand the depth of my hatred of all cheeses blue. The Mr. enjoyed it slathered delicately on his half of the sandwich though. The fried cheese balls were good, primarily because they did NOT contain blue cheese! It was some sort of mild orange-y cheese and it seemed like they may have mixed something in there to keep the cheese from getting overly melty in the fryer - a bonus as no one likes to bite into something deep fried and have molten liquid squirting all over the place! The order contained 6 balls and a drizzle of guava sauce. In all, it was a decent amount of reasonably healthy food at a good price. I will definitely return next time I am in the neighborhood.

    I finally went there a couple of weeks ago to try it, after reading good and objective reviews. Unfortunately, I've wasted my time and money there. The place was busy on a friday night and the ambiance was good; the rest, a total and epic fail. We had the mofongo which was tasteless and close to frozen; the seared ahi salad was another fail. The wine (white) was at room temperature and the service was totally unprofessional. This is the kind of places that gains fame and forget to keep the good work. Never again. One star for that, second star for the ambiance only.

    Looking to grab a fresh salad with good quality ingredidients thesis your place. I been going to the ne in south beach for years. The one in wimpy wood happens to be really nice inside with plenty of seating both inside and outside. The salads are huge $9.50 I got a chopped salad with cucumber, blue cheese, candid walnuts, tomatoes, and green onion with a breast of chicken. They have this jerk chicken salad with mango, avocado, tomatoes, that looks amazing. I can't wait to go back in and try that one! Wohooo I am definitely a fan ! I have a feeling I will be back again this week. Btw the cookies are AMAZING you must try them wow! I had the chocolate chip, chocolate, white chocolate. Cookies deserve 6 stars ! Trust me you must try !

    I love the word MOFONGO. It really is a fun word to say. It could be the tri-syllable assonance that appeals to me. Or it really could be that it has the word MOFO in it. Either way it's a great word. However, I like eating MOFONGO even more than I like saying it. Jimmy'z Kitchen has GREAT mofongo. They have many mofongos here, but I stuck to the traditional pork variety. The plantains were moist, the pork was juicy and delicious, and of course the mojo sauce was to die for. I'd have to say that this mofongo is as good as some I have had while in San Juan. My wife ordered the Chicken Portabella which was quite pedestrian compared to my mofongo. She ended up eating a quarter of my plate as she loved it so much. The portions are pretty large, and you can get away with sharing a plate if you order an appetizer. Check in on Yelp, and you'll get a free coffee as well! They have a great selection of items on the menu, and all for reasonable prices ($15 and under). The casual vibe here is great, and its also a good place to go with kids. They also have a surprisingly good beer selection which is a big plus. It's even more fun to say MOFONGO after you've had a couple of brews.

    One word: Mofongo. I went to Jimmy'z with the specific intention of getting my hands on their renowned mofongo. I arrived with my friend for lunch and I was impressed by what I saw. I didn't expect the restaurant to look the way it did. It was very clean and had pretty bright colored chairs. I made my way to the cash register where I was greeted by a very nice gentleman. I knew I wanted to try the chicken mofongo but I asked him what beer I should drink. I told him I wanted a Puerto Rican beer since I was in a Puerto Rican restaurant. He suggested I get the Medalla Light and I was happy he did because it was very good and very refreshing. I sat down, sipped my beer and waited for my food. When I saw the waiter bringing over my food, I reverted to acting like a child on Christmas morning. I was just too excited about trying this dish. When I finally bit into the mofongo I finally understood what everyone was talking about. It was bliss. Every component of the meal was exceptional. The fried plantains, the chicken, and especially the Creole sauce. The thing was just amazing. My friend got a pork mofongo and I insisted on trying some. It was also really good but it didn't compare to my chicken mofongo since it did not have the Creole sauce. Now that I have actually tried Jimmy'z mofongo, all I can think about is when I'll be able to go back and have some again.

    I came here with the groupon and it was definitely a great decision. The sandwiches were amazing and tasted freshly made. Ordered the caramel flan as a dessert and it tasted light and great. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere of the place is nice and clean. Very good definitely would go back.

    After three days of dieting :( my hubby and I headed to Jimmy'z Kitchen for a well-deserved "I finally lost two pounds" dinner. We have our favorites, mine being the Mofongo and my hubby loves the ribs. Unfortunately, they were out of the ribs, so for his entree he ordered the Bone-in Rib Eye Special and I ordered the Pork Mofongo. For our appetizer we had the Mussels Creole. The Mussels were really yummy. They come with toasted french bread that is perfect for absorbing the sauce. The sauce is so delicious that I wouldn't mind having is as soup! It is made with sauteed tomatoes and onions with a caribbean flavor. Good, good, good... Then our entrees came. My hubby loved the rib eye and I don't think it was just because he was starving. It comes with two generous portions of steak, which he ordered mid-rare, along with roasted potatoes. He normally doesn't eat potatoes but he said that they were really good. I tried a bit of his rib eye which had a nice charred flavor outside and was juicy inside (mmmmm....). But I go to Jimmy'z for the Mofongo (my hubby calls it Momofongo -What can I say? He is my gringo). Not only it is a fun word to say but it is just out-of-this-world amazing. I ordered the pork version which comes with pulled pork simmered in mojo. I really have no words to describe this dish. It is good, melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly seasoned pork. For those of you who don't know Mofongo, it is made with plantains mixed with pork or bacon. It is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!!! I always make sure to have a bit of pork and a bit of mofongo soaked in mojo in every bite. It was just what my very hungry tummy needed :) No dessert because I didn't want to break my diet, at least not break it all the way :) So, no dessert this time, although they have a nice selection of desserts with a latin flare. Maybe next time. Jimmy'z is a casual place with consistently good food. It is the perfect place to take the family for lunch or dinner and you have to go there if you have never tried Mofongo before.

    The long living jewl of South Beach finally opened at Wynwood. No more fighting over the fours tables at the small south beach location and the best of all... beer and Wine Licence! As well as coffee!. Great outdoor seating, fast service and lots of parking. The Ahi Tuna Special is a must! Ask for it extra raw, wont regret it.

  • Alex A.

    Fresh, delicious food at a great price! This place has a bit everything for every palette! The salad portion are very substantial and completely filling. So much so that I can't eat an appetizer with it. My favorite salad is the seared ahi tuna salad. The tuna rivals that of most I've ever had and the dressing is light and sweet. Vegetables here are bright and crisp! No soggy salads! My pet peeve!! Awesome spot to grab a quick lunch bite or to chill for a minute and drunk up some beers! I've yet to try something I didn't like. For the carnivore in you childish on the tripleta. It's a sandwich with meat some meat and more meat. Serious! Some people swear by the mofongo. As a Puerto Rican I was unimpressed. A little too salty for me and I was searching for some crunch. Still good though just nothing killer

    Saw the new location so we took a good friend here last night. It is an urban chic decor that is very nice. This location is so much larger than the beach. Orange, white and green colors surround you with a nice wine cellar up against the wall, very clean restrooms, oh my what a great looking place! Yes this is closer for me and I can not contain how happy I am to have this here. We had the utmost pleasure of finally meeting the man himself "Jimmy", wow what a fantastic personable guy. Now this is an owner who not only makes great food but he has everything just right. The service is beyond superb! Really, his staff members are so happy and helpful. So far every single item we have ordered has been above and beyond great! Last night was amazing. Hubby and his friend both ordered the "Churassco Mofongo", oh me oh my this steak was so moist and flavorful. And they offer it daily. woohoo! I chose the "Chicken Portabella with diced potatoes. Moist and perfectly seasoned. How can comfort food be this darn good. When I come here I feel like I am sitting home eating my mom's amazing cooking. All three of us just kept talking about how wonderful our food was. Behind the counter in several coolers they offer many fine imported beers at great prices and the wine selection is very good as well. Most bottles are all in the $20-$30 bottle price range with the highest at $49. Oh then the homemade desserts, wow try some peanut butter cheesecake and raisin bread pudding. What awesome desserts. Jimmy needs to open up a consulting business to help others because he is one of the finest owner's who well just gets it. Make great food, give stellar service, good convenient location, good portions, clean, fun decor and people will come. I will continue to patronize this local business because "YES" it is that amazing! You can not go wrong with any dish, delish! Oh and they deliver to downtown amongst other areas, Score! See you soon! When I was speaking to Jimmy he really made my night, being of Puerto Rican decent, he told me if I give him four to five days he can order me "pasteles". Oh was I happy, happy, and trust me I will be ordering some very soon.

    We were visiting Miami, and wanted to experience something local that wasn't necessarily on the concierge's "hot sheet" of recommended restaurants. We found Jimmy'z through Yelp, and we were not disappointed. Bolitas de Queso with guava sauce - YUM. My wife had the pork mofongo (amazing, she said), and I had the vegetarian fajita salad with added tofu. Lots of good options for vegetarians :-) When we come back to Miami, we will definitely eat here again.

    The positives: The dining room is gorgeous. Whoever (whomever?) conceptualized and executed the design of the place did a phenomenal job. He/she/they made an industrial space feel warm, hip and inviting. I guess it should be expected for the neighborhood but to combine form and function so well in a space that doesn't have to concentrate on such is a real triumph. Bring your camera phone and take some shots. You'll like what you see. The not-so-positive: The mofongo. I am a mofongo master. I've eaten it all over the Caribbean (especially in Puerto Rico), became a connoisseur of the stuff in Chicago (despite a vacating community to the suburbs, the (un)official home of the jibarito sandwich has much boricua flava; Puerto Rican cuisine in Chicago is #truth) and had it made in my buddy's house by his abuela (who can throw DOWN in the kitchen). I know my stuff. Unfortunately, as hyped up as the mofongo is here, I can't say that it's especially good. Even though my jam is mofongo con bacalao, I went with the mofongo con lechon. At $17 a pop, I was pretty let down. The plate was generously portioned but the mofongo itself was a bit mealy and pasty. I didn't taste the cracklins that give it texture, pop and added flavor. The lechon, too, was a bit bland. Served with its juice, it didn't have enough liquid to effectively pair up with the mofongo (as would be best served with some iteration of hot sauce). The meat wasn't very seasoned and having so much of it, it was a bit tough to get down. The rice and onions that came with the dish were nice additions but didn't/couldn't make up for the overall blandness of the meal. Perhaps I need to come back to try a different mofongo (con bacalao)?

    Oh Lord...the chicken and mofongo is worth any drive from any part of Florida. The burgers and fries aren't that bad either. The staff is extremely friendly and willing to explain any item on the menu. Food comes out fast, fresh and hot. Oh...and let's not forget the cheesecake! Try EVERY one in the display. They're amazing!

    This may be an unfair review because I have only ever ordered the vegan pad thai but I have to say it is phenomenal. I find myself craving it at times ... that's how good it is. I'm not a fan of tofu but the pad thai comes with it on top. The tofu looks like nothing special and kinda gross, in general (that's how I feel about tofu overall), however the way it's flavored is really pretty good. The noodles, however, are just amazing and fresh. It's just so amazing. My partner regularly orders the mofongo and switches up the meat that goes with it. He finishes it every time (which is a feat because the portions are HUGE). I loved how casual it was relatively comfortable the atmosphere is. As is true to Wynwood it's more trendy-hipster-chic than anything, but it was nice because the food and alcohol selection was legitimately delicious and impressive. Also, there is a wide array of choices so it's not just strictly amazing mofongo, like I said, I had pad thai but then there are also salads, sandwiches, bizarre yet delicious appetizers, etc. It's a must and I will be back.

    Finally on the way home, and passing through Miami, I stopped at one of the sandwich shop my friends highly recommended. Unfortunately, being the Monday after Memorial Weekend, the sandy shop, along with many other places, were not open. So I do what I normally do. Pulled out Yelp app on my iPhone, and plot a course to the nearest Cuban place, and found Jimmy'z. Well, FOUND might not be the exact word, as it took me about 10 minutes driving and turning and U-turning all over this corner to find this place. Boy, do they need a better signage out here! How else is someone from out of town supposed to find it?! Once I actually found Jimmy'z I was quite impressed, if not on its look alone. It looks like a high-end coffee shop, but it is actually a Cuban food place. I wasn't all that hungry, just hankering for some real food instead of these snacks I have in the car for the long drive home, so I ordered a Club Panini, which was a really nice looking cross between a Panini and a Torta Cubana loaded with sliced ham, turkey, strips of bacon, lettuce and tomato, held together with melted provolone. The sandwich held together nicely, not messy at all, and everything in there taste good and fresh. As I was devouring my sandwich, someone sat in the table next to me, and ordered one of those Mofongo, with the Cajun shrimps. It smelled so delicious and loaded with plenty goodness on top of a scoop of yellow rice and some sauce. Now I wished I had ordered that instead! P.S. There was a check-in offer for a free espresso with an order of lunch or dinner, although I'm not sure when the deal is set to expire.

    Yayyyyy...a new lunch spot!!!!! Lets talk hummus...I'm a fanatic and this hummus kicks ass!!! Its creamy and spreadable, a must for true hummus lovers, and it is served on a plate with a side medley of olives, feta, tomatoes and cucumber! But the best part, inserted directly into the mountain of hummus are warm crispy slices of thick cut baguettes. Sooo good, I could just eat that and be completely satisfied. :) Luckily there's more, Jimmy'z also has a variety of mouthwatering creative salads and sandwiches. Their portions are large, easily shared by two people and at $11 or $12 that's a good thing. But make no mistake these are gourmet salads, well worth the $$!

  • Casey B.

    Jimmy'z is a great casual restaurant in Wynwood. I went with a big group and they easily accommodated us. They have a ton of space, and the service was really fast. The prices are amazing for what you get. The salads are huge and delicious. I had the Fajita Salad and enjoyed every bite! A note on the mofongo - I had never had it before and enjoyed what I tasted from a friend. However, it was very bready, it seems like they haven't quite worked out the ratio. Overall everyone was pretty pleased with their food though. It's a cool atmosphere - very fitting of Wynwood, but it wouldn't be great for an intimate date. Definitely a fun place for a group dinner though!

    This was my first experience with Puerto Rican food, and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken mofongo was delicious - a savory blend of tomato-based sauce, tender chicken, and... plantains? Just shows that sometimes it pays off to order a dish having absolutely no idea what you're about to eat. I also tried one of the Chef's recommendations, the arroz con pollo, which was decent. I felt like it needed some form of sauce to liven it up a bit. Jimmy'z has an extensive beer and wine collection, and our waitress was happy to assist my husband in selecting a good microbrew for his tastes. Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free espresso! Since we were getting coffee at the end of the meal, we just had to try the recommended guava cheesecake as well. It was good, but I think the mofongo was the true star of the meal. The prices are a little expensive ($11-17 for many of the items), but the portions are large and beautifully plated. Overall, I'm definitely glad I came!

    Fresh, forward-thinking food in a low-key yet stylish spot. You'll think you're in California because everything is so fresh (and a little bit more than you'd expect $) but it's worth it and not a deterrent. Love this place. Pop in whenever I'm around. All yummy.

    My wife and I made a day trip from Palm Beach county to check out Wynwood. We decided to check out this place since they had the best Yelp reviews. We were pretty disappointed. While the atmosphere is kind of cool, the food was not that great. I had the blackened chicken sand which and my wife had the Asian sandwich. In both cases, the chicken was way too dry.

    I'm not sure what I can say about Jimmy'z that no one else has said! We started with the guava-sauce-covered cheese balls with low expectations because guava and fried cheese don't exactly go together in my head, but the result was a heavenly taste that you can't explain until you try it. It comes together really, really well. We wanted more before we finished them. For the 'hardy' meal, I ordered the churrasco mofongo and had an emotional moment when I bit into it- I nearly teared up from how good the steak was. My girlfriend ordered the steak and cheese sandwich, and it's amazing how something so simple can have so much flavor. I will say, however, that I wasn't a huge fan of how 'thick' and chunky the mofongo was, I'm used to it being much smoother, but it went well, just needed a little more salt and the table didn't have (and we didn't feel like getting up, so our fault too). But it looks like the food here is very, very well-made. They lose a point for the prices. The food is a little expensive, even for Wynwood, and no way I'm paying $7 for a bottle of Innis and Gunn when I can get a 20oz glass at another bar for $6! The place seems too casual and friendly for those prices, but alas. If you can do without the alcohol for a meal and you can be a little liberal, not even too much, with your money, Jimmy'z is extremely worth it. And check-in when you get there, either on FourSquare or Yelp! Free cafecito with your purchase.

    This place is amazing!!! The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved the roasted beef and the Ahi tuna they were cooked to perfection. For dessert, I had the guava cheesecake and it was really yummy. I actually had seconds. The service is great and the people there were extremely friendly.

    I love Jimmy's their salads are so delicious and huge portions, their Puerto Rican dishes are authentic and fresh. We also love the relaxed atmosphere and outdoor seating. For the price and quality this is a definite stand out in Wynwood.

  • Vince G.

    Had the mofongo churrasco and while it was tasty the mofongo was a bit dry and the steak had way too much fat. My wife ordered the lechon and that too was delicious, but again covered in fat to the point where way too much pork had to be left on the plate. Besides the poor choice in protein the place has delicious food and a great craft beer selection, however, for the price I just expect better quality in the food.

    The first time I went to Jimmy'z was a weekday evening soon after this location opened. There weren't many customers so we took our time looking at the menu - printed but with daily specials on a chalkboard. We got accustomed to the casual ordering system, which includes placing your order at the counter and having someone bring it to your table. We ordered the Chicken Portabella & Steak Frites. The staff was more than willing to accommodate changes I requested for my dish. The chef himself delivered our food to the table and checked on us a few more times to make sure everything was to our liking. I appreciated his enthusiasm and concern for us enjoying our meal. Rarely do you encounter that at a restaurant in Miami these days. My mom loooved her food and I was extremely satisfied with mine. Juicy chicken, flavor-filled veggies - yum all around! Definitely lived up to the Yelp hype. The second time I came to Jimmy'z was for takeout. I called and placed my order and it was ready about 5mins after I arrrived (less than 15mins from initial call to food being ready). Met the manager, owner & re-met the chef. All were extremely pleasant and welcoming. Jimmy'z was a great value, serves yummy food that's healthy so it won't weigh you down, is convenient and service is friendly.

    I think pics look better than the actual taste. The price is a bit too much for the place, cafeteria type. I've tried better mofongos and the.red sauce that goes with all mofongos has a strange garlic flavor. Not the worst place, but not coming back

  • Joshua L.

    Not bad but an acquired taste. I'm just not used to entree dishes (especially hearty meats and even seafoods) being so heavily acidic to the point of utter sour. Just not my thing. Sorry to say but it makes the food taste like its spoiled. Also kind of expensive for the casual setting. Flavor: 2 stars Portion: 5 stars (the amount of food is plenty good) Freshness: 3 stars (the seafood was questionable to me) Decor / environment: 3 stars (casual and just ok) Value: 3 stars Overall: 3 stars This was my first time trying monfongo.... really never want to again.

  • Alli Y.

    Yum Yum!! My sister took me here which I was visiting. We got the shrimp mofongo!! Wow was it a tastey treat for the pallet. A couple huge shrimps in it with fried plantains which I don't usually like but apparently it's the salty kind which was very good. The sauce was delicious!! We also got a slice of the guava cheesecake and it was good. Not overly sweet at all. You could tell it was homemade. I also got the special ice team which was good. If only they had this place where I'm from. Definitely woth a try!!

    I just got back from what I thought would be a flashback to Puerto Rico. I am a native Puerto Rican who moved to Miami just 4 months ago and was looking for a restaurant with good PR food. Let me start by saying that the decor was nice and the service was fast. But the food was average and I was left completely UNDERWHELMED! The bolitas de queso were good and the guava sauce was a nice addition but my chicken mofongo wasn't good at all. The keyword here is mofongo, it was dry and had zero flavor (no pork skin and no garlic, a big flaw if you are making mofongo) but at least the creole sauce was tasty. My boyfriend's churrasco was burnt and the chimichurri sauce was horrible. I also don't understand why they call themselves a Puerto Rican restaurant when 80% of the menu has nothing to do with our cuisine. Maybe I should try something else like a salad, soup or panini next time; if that ever happens. So if you are a born and raised Puerto Rican like me don't expect Jimmy'z Kitchen to bring back memories of what our food really tastes like.

  • Cristina R.

    Maybe it's because I've ate better Mofongo. The Flan had been sitting there for a while. It wasn't fresh. The staff attention was great though. Good environment. The food is not as great as people make it seem.

    (3)

  • Paty D.

    Despite the good reviews this place has- I think its overpriced fast food. We ordered the sarzuela de mariscos- the portion was small and not a large variety of seafood - mostly filled with clams. The mahi mofongo- although the fish was ok- the mofongo was heavily garlicky. The other thing I didnt like is that for the price , this place has no service to table, you have to order at counter.

  • Zao Z.

    Its was ok went for a late lunch on the weekend. I got the fish trying to be healthy. It was Small pcs over a mayo slathered slaw. My friend got the salmon its was basic as well. Neither dishes were anything special and not a bit pricey for what you get. Maybe their Mofango is where its at. Ill have to give that a try and re-review at a later date. Ill give them another chance to wow me.

  • Philip B.

    Went here today and ordered the following: (1) Bolitas de Queso, (2) Shrimp Mofongo, and (3) La Tripleta Sandwich. The Bolitas de Queso were absolutely amazing! They were perfect and the guava sauce that came on top of the queso was excellent as well and complemented the cheese well. Next, it was onto the Mofongo, which was outstanding as well. The creole sauce that came with the dish was outstanding. It was a little on the pricey side, but my friend that I was with is Puerto Rican and even he really enjoyed the dish as well so I knew it was definitely the real deal! Finally, the La Tripleta sandwich was great as well. It was a little too strong on the onion side, but the sandwich itself was a nice marriage of ham, pork, bacon, onions and cheese. I would probably try something else next time but it was still a good sandwich. I will definitely be back sometime soon!

    Jimmy'z is delish and a great place for lunch. Great Puerto Rican food! If you show them your check-in, you get a free espresso. It's a great spot for #305cafecito! The salads are awesome - my favorite is the Fajita Salad. Two can share! The Ginger-Carrot Soup is soooo yummy. Great service, very friendly, and you can often catch Jimmy in the kitchen.

    It's about time I find a good Puerto Rican restaurant in Miami. I was very impressed with the quality of the food. Gourmet and delicious at a low cost. I had the seared tuna, it was very fresh and delicious. For desserts we had blueberry cheesecake IT WAS AMAZING and don't leave without trying the Guava Cheesecake! ... to die for. It was a Saturday night so they have music in the patio. I didn't have the Mofongo everyone raves about but I will be coming back. *** This restaurant have the 3 B's we all look for Bueno, Bonito, y Barrato! ***

  • Angelo R.

    Now I know why everybody's ravin' about this place. My first time here and I'm hooked. Of course I had to try one of the Mofongos and selected the shrimp with creole sauce. I assumed that the shrimp will be miniature ones but was completely surprised! The size & amount of shrimp (8 pieces) in the dish were substantial so I suddenly realized...ooohhh, I'm not in some food court where they give you tiny pieces of shrimp :) I actually took a detailed pic of the shrimp...ok enough. The presentation, taste & portion of the entree were more than acceptable. I shoved as much mofongo in my body and wasn't able to finish the entire thing. The place itself is spacious, loft style dining with outdoor seating. It was around 5pm on a Monday and place was empty but loved it cause I was able to take as much pics without annoying anyone...my apologies to anybody who has seen me around :) I gotta come back to try other items on the menu cause my tummy was satisfied!

    Cafeteria style place, informal. The food is alright. The shredded plantains were good though overly salted. The seared tuna was a bit under-seared. But the portions are good and the tomato avocado salad was fresh.

  • Alison T.

    WOW, just great! The Mofongo was amazing. I had the pork mofongo and it was sooo good. I have had mofongo in Puerto Rico and it was nothing compared to this. First, I didnt expect it to be so expensive..I'm more used to cheap Cuban food. But it was worth it. The restaurant is fun and the music is great. The menu is actually extensive beyond just mofongo. The mofongo is plate is a lot of food, I shared and we still took some home for dinner. Definitely worth it and I will go again!

    It seems like every time I read a review for ANYTHING Wynwood (being walls, murals, galleries, 2nd Saturday, et cetera), I frequently hear the name "Jimmy'z Kitchen", so I caved to see what all the hype is about. My mouth is watering just writing this paragraph. I love Mofongo and have yet to find a decent mofongo near home, so when a few reviews mention how good the mofongo is, we knew to order it. We also ordered the Mojo Pork. Overall we loved our dishes although both dishes were a bit salty (but not so bad to ruin the dishes). The serving sizes were plenty big. The pork came with sweet plantains & beans and rice... the beans were spectacular & the meat was lean and cooked to perfection. The mofongo was a bit chunkier than what we've experienced in the past but it was definitely to our liking. My only complaint is I'm not a fan of "fast casual" eateries (order at counter, take a seat & wait for food to be delivered to your table), even though they are popping up everywhere these days. The prices here are really quite fair (under 10 for sandwiches and salads) and the entrees are around 10 to 15 dollars, although mofongo was 17 bucks. I didn't mind the higher cost but paying just under 40 dollars for counter service, I would've preferred table service (drink refills, order more, get condiments, remove dirty dishes, ask for napkins and so much more). It's like paying for overpriced fast food; don't get me wrong, I just think counter service cheapens the place a bit. All in all, I enjoyed the food, I was very comfortable in their modern decor and do look forward to trying out some other dishes.

    Very good. The service was good and so was the food. We had the blacken chicken panini and the fries.. Delicious! Wish I could have tried the cheesecakes and mofongo but will save for next time.

  • Ryan J.

    I'll keep coming back to Jimmy'z, but they need to keep an eye on quality control. I ordered the pork mofongo on my first visit. Perfection. Tender pork, drowning in delicious garlicy mojo. On my second visit, I ordered the same dish. This time around, it seems as though they used a different mojo... and used it sparingly. The garlic was hard to detect, but a strong citrus taste was there. I have to say, I wasn't a fan of whatever mojo they used the second time around. The pork was also much drier. I'm giving 4 stars because I know this place can knock it out of the park, but there might be a lack of consistency. Hopefully this was just a rare off-night.

    After my trips to Puerto Rico, I never thought I'd see Mofongo again. But after arriving in Miami and using my trusty yelp mobile app, there it was. Jimmy'z Kitchen. By the name, I never would have thought that they serve Puerto Rican food, and if not for the yelp mobile app, I never would have checked this place out. So we got here after dark. It sits on the corner of an apartment building. It was the only thing that seemed to be really lit up. Parking was on the curb and free. We walked inside and checked out the menu on the wall. The employees were really friendly. Of course I knew that I was going to order the Mofongo, but they do have a nice assortment of bistro food like paninis and salads. But wait...there's more. After I checked in on my yelp mobile app, I unlocked a free espresso! So after ordering a Mofongo with Churrasco and one with shrimp, we were given a number and sat outside. The weather was good of course for February. They had music playing and a few groups of people were hanging out and the place wasn't too noisy. When our Mofongo orders finally came, they dropped them off at our table and it was like I had just gotten my own piece of heaven. The Churrasco was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Tender, juicy, mouth watering. With the crushed Platanos it was so frickin' awesome. The service was really good too. Our waiter kept coming by periodically to see if we needed anything and wasn't annoying. Afterwards I got my free espresso and relaxed. This joint has excellent food, good prices, good service and a good vibe. I would go out of my way to come here the next time I'm in Miami.

    Food is just okay. I had some seafood dish. 1. There is no waiting if you are there on weekdays. 2. There is live music on weekends. 3. It isn't very expensive. 4. Food again is just average. 5. There is no service basically, so you don't have to tip. 6. The ambiance is casual. So this is where I would take an old girlfriend rather than a first date.

    I live in Broward county and don't get down to Miami that often (not a big fan of Miami Dade) but I always make it point to stop at Jimmy'z Kitchen. I love the new location, so big, clean, and very modern. I cant think of one thing on the menu that I don't love. My fav is the Seared Ahi Tuna. It's served with avocado salad and jasmine rice. I always gets get mine with a side of their amazing white sherry vinaigrette. Deeee-licous! I'm hoping they open one in North Miami or Broward soon!

    So, there I was in MIA, ready for dinner. I decided to check Yelp to see what was nearby. Jimmy'z was my choice since it was close and had great reviews. Once again, you guys didn't steer me wrong. Since going to PR twice in recent years, I fell in love wit mofongo and had it almost every day. So, I was excited to have the opportunity to have it again. I got the shrimp mofongo and it had great flavor. The sauce was a bit different than what I was used to, but that didn't take away from the dish. It was good - just different. The shrimp was also cooked perfectly. The service was super friendly, quick, and the place is SO inexpensive for the quality. This was my 2nd new place I tried while I was on my last trip to MIA. It's made my list of places to always check out while I'm down there.

  • Adam C.

    Now for a generalization: People that dine here are attractive. Looking at attractive people, though marginally damaging to ones self-image, is still a pleasant experience. It's like the advertising effect. If Michael Jordan wears Nike, maybe I'll have a four foot vertical if I buy the kicks, too. But, I'm only been here twice and my waistline has stayed pretty static. Ok, so enough about my neurosis. This place serves fresh, tasty, and unusual meal choices. The first visit here, I got the jerk chicken salad. It was a good salad and the chicken was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. The second salad came with dressing on the side. It was the seared tuna salad. I put the dressing on the salad only to realize that it was also pre-dressed. My salad was now over-dressed. Whoops. But it still tasted good, just way too much dressing.

    Mofongo! Bye! No, really. Try the mofongo. A bit pricey, but if you've never tried it, it's worth giving it a go. The only couple times I've had it, I'm pretty sure I had the shrimp one which was great, but I'm sure the chicken or beef ones are great too!

  • Mercy F.

    My husband and I had the mofongo and it was hard and had a strange brown color. This is our favorite Puerto Rican dish & never had it this color or texture before. The place & menu were nice and we will go back but not for the mofongo.

  • Rebecca C.

    MOFONGO is now my new favorite word too! I highly recommend getting a Mofongo dish on your first visit. What is Mofongo you ask? I couldn't find a good explanation in the reviews here - but now I know, it's a pile of tostones, kinda mashed, but still crunchy and flavorful. You choose your dish based on your protein: we did shrimp, they have chicken, beef, pork, etc. too. And it's all topped with a sweet yet salty tomato sauce, that was surprisingly good for someone not a fan of red sauces. I'll admit it, we almost licked our plate clean. So dissapointed they didn't have the Ballitos Cheese Balls appetizer but that meant we got to try the Crab Cakes instead. Perfect - wow. I was skeptical and became a believer on this day. They weren't bready at all and had a great dijon sauce. Not a crumb left. They were sadly too small for my liking, but what can you do? And then to finish - the cheesecake was super creamy yet thick enough and not too sweet, delicious. I can't wait to come back, I keep telling everyone I know about it. A perfect place to visit in Wynwood. I wasn't all too impressed with the decor like other reviews said, but it was a fun casual place to enjoy lunch, and the server girl was a bit off. However, I can't wait to try everything else on the menu, it all looked so good and with not one bit of this meal being a disappointment, I can only look forward to more good things from Jimmy'z.

    Yesterday afternoon my husband and I finally went to Jimmy'z Kitchen. My son, a Yelp Elite member, has mentioned before that he's ordered their food to go, and the Churrasco with Mofongo was very tasty and big enough to share. So, since we were in the area, and it was around 4:00PM, we were really hungry and ready to have a late lunch. This place is very, very good. Nice modern decor and simple street parking, but feels like a fast food place. After ordering at the register, they give you a number and bring the food to your table. A little bit pricey for a place with no table cloth, and no waiter service, but it is worth it. The food is superb. To begin, we ordered the Arañitas appetizer which consist of shredded green plantains fritters with a semi-sweet guava sauce. They were great!!! My husband ordered the Mofongo with Pork, absolutely delicious, Pork was tender and with a real Cuban flavor. As usual, I ordered a salad, the "Jerk Chicken Salad". A big, fresh salad with mango, avocado, and cucumbers, which was just delicious., the chicken also had an amazing flavor. We drank a couple of Heineken Lights, which were perfectly ice cold. All of this was about $50. We did not order dessert since we were full.

    We ordered the Salmon and Mofongo w/Chicken. It was good. The place was super clean and the service was great. They made a small mistake with my order and not only fixed it in 90 seconds but offered to give us free dessert. We didn't take the dessert..lol.. But they all looked delicious.

    I was somewhat disappointed in Jimmy'z because I found the food to be merely good, not great. And my husband, unfortunately, didn't enjoy his meal at all. Jimmy'z is a casual restaurant in Wynwood where you place your order, get a number, pick a table and wait for someone to bring you your food. The decor is industrial with a polished concrete floor, exposed ceiling pipes and track lighting. They specialize in Mofongo, which I love. They also have a selection of entrees, salads, sandwiches and desserts. My husband got the churrasco steak with chimichurri sauce, white rice, black beans and maduros. He said everything was mediocre at best, the steak was bland, the beans were watery and he just didn't care for the texture of the rice. I got the shrimp mofongo with a side of seasonal sauteed veggies to balance out my meal. The veggie side was a large serving of carrots, mushrooms, onion, red and green peppers and minced garlic. It was a little oily but tasty nonetheless. My mofongo came in what seemed to be a homemade red sauce with a very generous serving of plump, juicy shrimp. I'm used to mofongo that's a bit more mashed, this one had big chunks of plantain, but the taste was right on. I would have liked to try their flan but we were pretty full. I just wish hubby had liked it more, I'd certainly be willing to give it another chance.

  • L H.

    Nice decor and I decided to come based on the other reviews. I will say they offer a wide variety of sandwiches and salads that you won't typical in Latin American food. Cheese balls are better than a lot I've had but not a must as others are commenting on. The Chimichurri Mofongo I had was preapred well and had a great taste. For the Mofongo I had for the first time, tasty but a tad bit dry. Will definitely try this location again.

  • Felix M.

    This mofongo should be the reference to rate all other mofongo in the universe! I have been bringing friends, family and associates to this fine establishment since they opened and everybody has just been wowed not only by the mofongo but everything else that has been ordered. The service is also top notch! You CAN'T go wrong!

    This is actually an update to my review of Jimmy's Kitchen in South Beach. After I gave them 4 stars the owner wrote to me to say he spoke to the chefs to improve on that issue! I was at Gallery Walk and stopped in to Jimmy'z in Wynwood. Needless to say the food and service were excellent (again) and this time the chicken was cooked even better than before. (The Mofongo was perfect as usual). I met Jimmy for the first time and was impressed. We left feeling like family.

    I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico - transplanted to Miami, and i must say, Jimmy'z is great. All their Latin specialties are tasty and true to its roots. The Mofongo and Churrasco are amazing, and so is the Seared Tuna plate for those days when i'm craving fresh seafood that's not overpriced. AND THEY SELL OUR NATIONAL BEER - MEDALLA!!! which just recently made its way to shelves in the US. Thanx Jimmy'z.

  • Stephanie L.

    Monfongo. Where have you been all my life? Went to Jimmy'z Kitchen not quite sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. As is common in the Design District area, the decor is modern and industrial. An informal-style ordering counter awaits, and chalkboard menus list the specials. They have lots of unique craft beers and a huge wine list. The dessert counter display is pretty enticing as well, and is filled with different varieties of flan, bread pudding and cheesecake too. On my first visit, my friend and I decided to share the crab cakes, an avocado and tomato salad and a shrimp mofongo. We seated ourselves towards the back where it was a bit more quiet, and put our number in the holder. In no time the runner came out with our first course. The crab cakes came in a zesty mustard sauce and were filled with crab meat. Unlike most places, thankfully the breading was minimal, which allowed the crab to shine. They paired it with a sauce with full mustard seeds, which added great flavor and crunch. The avocado and tomato salad was super fresh and a nice light option. When we finished the appetizers they brought over our mofongo. I have never had mofongo before, and didn't know what I was in for...however it was amazing! The plantain mash was more a tostones mush than a sweet plantain, and the juicy shrimp were really well cooked. The whole dish came in a tomato based sauce that was not at all spicy, but packed a strong flavor. For dessert we got the apple cheesecake. It was good and not too sweet, but it definitely didn't taste like apples. We really enjoyed ourselves and between the appetizers, entree and dessert only spent $20 each. The woman who took our order was a bit brusque, but the food itself was so good it didn't matter. It was a great find with a nice atmosphere and a superb meal. Since that first experience I've been back a number of times, and I'm consistently impressed with all of their offerings. I still get the traditional mofongo, and often the fresh avocado and tomato salad, but another delectable choice is the cheese filled bolitos. Balanced by a sweeter guava sauce, they can be dangerously addictive. Really love this addition to the neighborhood, and I highly recommend checking it out!

    So, my boyfriend and I came here because of the good reviews. I think I will stop depending on yelp so much for a good place to eat on our date nights. I ordered the pollo guisado and my taste bubs were really expecting puerto rican flavor, the cilantro, culantro, the onions, green peppers and sazon.... I GOT TOMATO SAUCE AND OREGANO!!! Grilled chicken with italian sauce over it. The mofongo wasnt all that El Rinconcito in Hialeah knows what real mofongo is!! Over all i give this place 3 for freshness. The tomato sauce was made from scratch and the place was clean!

    **4 1/2 Stars** Came here Friday night after MONTHS of hearing about and dying to try Jimmy'z Kitchen! I wasn't disappointed (other then the fact that I can't buy a Shooger deal from them! ) I had the soup of the day which was Tomato and Zucchini it was outrageously good, and the Puerco al Mojo Mofongo which was INCREDIBLE!! I can't wait to come back and try all the Mofongos and well...just about everything else on the menu too!!! See you soon Jimmy'z Kitchen Wynwood!

    Claudia J. and I went here last weekend since we were in the area and I'd been wanting to try it for forever, especially after Michelle C's review. Man, the food was delicious. They make a mean, uber flavorful shrimp mofongo. The salsa criolla was ridiculously good. The shrimp were not overcooked at all; they were just right, which is great because overcooked shrimp is a huge pet peeve. However, they did a real cheat job on de-veining of the shrimp. They deveined it 3/4 of the way and left the vein hanging there, still attached. That wasn't cool, so I just removed it all. Service was very good, although it's not full waiter service. Everyone from the cashiers to the waiter-ish guy to Jimmy himself was very friendly, patient, and helpful. I am not a sandwich girl, much less a deli meat girl, but Claudia's Cuban sandwich was bangin', too. It was the best I've had by far. It wasn't on Cuban bread, which was great for me, and the roast pork was marinated and flavorful, and the deli meat part was great quality. I would definitely order it if I were in a sandwich mood. It is clear that the ingredients for everything here is very high quality. They had some yummy-looking desserts that caught my eye, including a seriously tempting bread pudding and even chocolate flan. The ambiance is chic and the outdoor seating is nice for taking in the breeze. All in all, I just can't wait to go back! On a side not, Claudia and I both felt like such wastes because they had an amazing beer selection and neither of us drink. Too bad, lol. I think they might have happy hour, too.

    I've had both the chicken and the shrimp mofongos. While mofongo here is good and tasty, it's not great. The plantains are too hard and dry for my taste. I think they should add butter and garlic to the mofongo itself to make it softer and tastier. The bolitas de queso are good, too. The cashier is always unfriendly and unattentive. Yes, you have to order and pay at the cashier just like you do at a fast food place.

    I went with a friend who recommended we go here for a Sunday lunch. I had never heard of this place and had no expectations. Located just south of the Midtown shops, I didn't have any idea what to expect. Walking in, with a breakfast / brunch / lunch appetite, I was pleasantly surprised at the appearance of the dining area. The main menu is just over the registers with a larger meal of the day menu just to the side. I ended up ordering the Steak Fritas. They had you a number which you place at your table so they know where to bring your food. The food came quickly and the service was great! It was too early to drink (alcohol), but there was quite a selection that I will have to come back to try. The food was done perfectly to order. I will most definitely be going back, it's just a matter of figuring out how soon! Bottom Line: Highly Recommended!

    The first time I saw Jimmy'z at South Beach, I laughed as I was told this place had amazing dishes. I thought "cmon, it's in a strip mall and only like 4 (very cramped) tables can fit, you gotta be kidding me, a good place would be able to afford an actual light-up sign". But once the food came out, I was loving the flavors and the prices were astoundingly low. I was so impressed in fact that I told the chef he should consider open a location near my area (around Midtown) and boy am I happy they listened eventually! I finally got a chance to head over on Friday night, wanting a cool chill place to eat without the loud hustle and bustle of Brickell or the pretentiousness of SoBe. I was glad to see some normal people dressed casual (finally) rather than wannabe models, all munching away happily and not getting annoyed by the breeze that made their hair get all messy. The young man behind the counter was very patient and helpful and made some excellent recommendations. We had the mushroom and asparagus purse appetizer, which I am told is very rarely offered, and it had this amazing grilled taste and was very juicy. We also got a chimichurri lamb chop entree, which comes with 5 decently sized chops for less than $20 (try finding THAT many lamb chops at such a great price elsewhere), and the special ahi tuna. The flavors were amazing and the portions were generous. The tuna was very fresh and the chops were tender. For dessert, I got the chocolate flan, something I had never tasted before, and I was sad to soon be done with it as it was very addictive. I must warn you though, this is NOT like what you'd call an upscale restaurant, it's more of a mom and pop casual place where you place an order and sit while they bring it out, sort of like Sakaya Kitchen, so if you're expecting a waiter to be at your beck and call, this isn't the place for it. They will clear plates and on occasion ask if you need a drink, but they won't be coming by every 5 minutes to check on you. It's a very cozy, friendly environment. Jimmy and his restaurant manager came by a few times and chatted with us. Unlike big upscale restaurants, the manager is present and willing to engage with his clientele. I look forward to ordering for delivery in the future, or just dropping by to enjoy the laidback atmosphere and new dishes.

    I've eaten here twice in the last week so I'm def a fan. I had to check it out after hearing my hairdresser raving about the place and I'm glad I did. I'd describe the food as Californian, and not really typical Miami food. Minus the mofongo (I haven't tried that yet). The food is fresh, healthy and tasty American food. Big salads, sandwiches, fancier entrees and desserts. The prices are affordable and the portions are large. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've tried there, which includes the steak sandwich, the chicken pomodoro sandwich, a burger, and a niscoise salad. Actually, I didn't like the flan, but I think that's just cause I don't like flan. You can eat inside or out they have a great program where you earn points every time you eat there for a discount and there's free street parking. I totally recommend Jimmy's Kitchen.

    I found myself back in the Midtown area for lunch earlier this week, when it dawned on me that the new Jimmyz Kitchen had opened. With my love of the original SoBe location dancing in my head,I knew I had to pop in to see what the new space had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised to see Jimmyz had taken over quite a large space in the building, and the decor was done up in lots of bright but earthy colors. Extra points on design, for sure. Jimmy features numerous daily specials, of both the appetizer and entree variety, so make sure you check out the chalkboards so you're fully informed of the day's offerings before you place your order. All the classics are there - the real & rustic sandwich, the ahi tuna salad, etc. Jimmyz Wynwood is also offering mofongo every day of the week! I haven't tried it myself, but I hear it's pretty damn good. I settled on the ahi tuna sandwich, which came with a good amount of seared sesame-crusted ahi tuna, a nice spread of arugula, tangy bleu cheese spread, all between 2 slices of perfectly toasted multi-grain bread. It was a bit messy to eat, but quite tasty nonetheless. But I did think that the bleu cheese spread was a little much, and definitely overshadowed the flavor of the tuna. And when I'm paying $12 for an ahi tuna sandwich, I wanna taste that tuna! Hence the 4-star review. There's free parking on both 28th and 27th Streets, as well as assorted meters throughout the area. If you've never been to Jimmyz before, get the now! And if you're a fan on the original location, the new Wynwood digs won't disappoint!

    Thank you Jimmy for reaching out to me after my initial review of two stars. For this reason, I decided to give it another shot and have your signature dish. The pork mofongo is absolutely great! Perfect for sharing, this meal has perfectly marinated shredded pork that is incased in a cocoon of plantains. Add a bit of their hotsauce and wha-la! Extremely filling and satifying. I was even able to check in on Yelp and received a free espresso! I flew in unnoticed so no special attention was given to me, which is what I wanted to give it a fair review. Meal came out very quick, service was great. Perhaps it was just a bad day the first time. Ok Jimmy - you made me a fan. 5 stars, and I'll be back for some more soon!

  • Brent B.

    I really like what Jimmy'z has to offer sandwiches and salads in a no-nonsense unpretentious environment. The space is hip and fun. I ordered a chicken sandwich with prosciutto, artichoke pesto spread and provolone cheese. The bread was toasted and filled with interesting flavors. The chicken was cooked to order and had a nice rosemary seasoning. I didn't love the artichoke pesto it was missing a little sweetness. However, it was still a very tasty sandwich. Next time I will probably get the steak sandwich which sounded delicious. Jimmy is often there and yes they sell my favorite soda Dr. Brown in a variety of flavors. The dinner selections were more upscale and sounded tasty, I heard the mofongo is top-notch and is now served daily. They have a wine special on Wednesday and a large assortment of micro brews. The Yelp phone app offers you a free espresso when you check in. I will definitely be back to try the Mofongo with a Dr. Brown black cherry to make it go down perfectly. Thank you Jimmy!

    It was my first night in Miami, and I wanted to try Cuban food while my dad wanted Jamaican food. After some searching on Yelp, I decided on Jimmy'z Kitchen, where I could order both Jerked Chicken Salad and Mofongo. The mofongo was very delicious, but the chicken in the salad was a little dry. However, I did like that the salad was topped with mangos, avocados, almonds, and tomatoes! If you're the type of person who likes a lot of toppings on your salad (like I am), this is the salad for you! In addition, I appreciated that they served dressing on the side without needing to ask them to do it. I also tried the guava cheesecake, which was surprisingly good, considering I don't usually like guava. The cheesecake had the perfect consistency. They did forget to serve me my cheesecake, which was why I deducted one star. Other than that, I would recommend this place -- friendly staff and good food!

  • Maite H.

    This restaurant is not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter a server will bring your dish to you. The presentation of the food is perfect. The mofongo is yummy but a little on the drier side. I had mine with the shrimp and felt the tomato sauce was ok. Someone at my table ordered the corvina with mofongo and felt the fish tasted fresh. I'm still a fan of the mofongo at El Rinconcito de Santa Barbara in Hialeah...although it's a dive they give you the soup to moisten it and the chicharrones in the mofongo make it perfect.

    (4)

  • Cristina P.

    Service was good - although for the price I would expect table side service. I wouldn't say the mofongo is the best in Miami - maybe the most overpriced, but it was good nonetheless. I had the mofongo with churrasco. The churrasco was very good, good perfectly and seasoned well. But I don't think the meal was worth $20. Next time I go, I'll try something different.

    The only thing Puerto Rican about Jimmy'z is the Mofongo, other than that, it's about as Commonwealth-to-Americana as it gets. While the prices at first seem vague, the selection of high-quality ingredients accompanied by large portions, make the experience worthwhile. For locals, the usual favorites are the Jerked Chicken Breast Salad and Mofongo. For the JCB salad, the sherry vinaigrette is the de facto. There's also the Mofongo, which, I'd recommend as a 'first' when dining at Jimmy'z. Mofongo is a rather typical dish in Puerto Rico, ironically, some of the best -- if not the best -- is dwelling in a contemporary-bistro. Strange, but it's got my respect. They also serve Panini's and Sandwiches, but your main focus here are those two aforementioned. Just yesterday, I broke the ice and tried their Chicken Portobella -- Sauteed chicken breast with portabella mushroom mix and wilted arugula, served over Garlic roasted potatoes --- it was yet another tasty, devouring moment.

    It was LOVE at first BITE!!! I LOVE crab cakes so I'm very particular as to where I order them from. I took a risk with Jimmy'z and I'm glad I did!! They were PERFECT!!! And the greenery on the side was SO fresh. Since it was me AND my group's first visit, we all tasted eachothers foods. I got a few bites of the conch salad: DELICIOUS, the jerk chicken salad: GOOD, the shrimp creole: OKAY, and a glass of wine: :) :). The foods I didn't taste I was told were very good and fresh too. The service was fast and friendly and I LOVED the vibe here. Jimmy'z sits on a corner so by eating outside we got to feel the cool breeze while listening to soft Reggae jams. It was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had in a LONG time. Jimmy'z just gives me one MORE reason to come back and visit my old neighborhood.

    Ehhhh... Its ok.... not great. I would expect more for the anchor restaurant of Wynwood. It's as if they just stole the typical menu of the new Miami restaurant scene and didnt really perfect it. I went there last week during art walk, service was bad drinks were bad... just not great... I give it three stars for the ambiance and the awesomeness of Wynwood

    How did it take me till a drunken stupor at Art Basel to stumble into Jimmyz? Personally, I really have no idea, but I am glad I finally made it into Jimmyz. The first thing that struck my eye was the art on the glass by Subi Roberto. It is a smaller version of his 'Lightwalkers on 14th Street and NE 2nd Avenue. Finally, I walk in Jimmyz. It is a kitchen style restaurant where you walk up to the plate and order whatever it is you desire for the night. What struck me was the diversity of menu. Jimmyz offers paninis, mofongo, full dinner plates, and an extensive beer list. On this night, I did not try their much acclaimed mofongo, but I did try their Chicken Portabello and Morimoto Hazelnut brewski. We sat down and before I knew it all our food was sitting before us. My Chicken Portabello was a fantastic delight. The broth was wowzers and had an amazing aroma. I struggled to finish the good sized proportions. Oh, Morimoto Hazelnut. How I love thee. It is a roasty, chocolaty, hazelnut mixture of flavor goodness. It is one of my favorite beers and Jimmyz my boy offers it. I will definitely be returning in the near future to try some mofongo and other affordable plates and beers. All hail Jimmyz.

    While it may be unfair to compare siblings, I'm not past doing it. (See my Sushi Samba vs. Sugarcane review.) I'm a huge fan of Jimmyz Kitchen in SoBe, having had one of the best and biggest cobb salads of my life there. With that said, I am so happy to have Jimmy'z close by in Wynwood, and tonight's dinner was fast, tasty, and reasonably priced. The new space is so much larger and more attractive than the SoBe location. The prices and menu give those of us in the area a solid choice from the other higher-end haunts that have popped up here. The shrimp mofongo, a special on Friday's and Saturdays, was bold and perfect as a split app. The cobb salad tonight, while not earth-shattering, made for a perfect entree, and kept me out of my own kitchen. I'll be glad to stay out of Ken'z Kitchen for a visit to Jimmy'z once and awhile.

    One of the best places in Miami to grab a bit. The service was amazing. The chef realized it was my first time and walked me through the menu personally. The menu looks delicious. Hard time deciding what to eat. My buddy had been to the SoBe location and knew what he wanted. I chose the pork mofongo because I had recently seen the dish on a cooking show. Words can not describe how good my selection was. We also had a bottle of wine. Look forward to trying more of the great food.

  • Daniella S.

    "You're not going to get the Mofongo?" WTF is Mofongo, I thought to myself... "Umm, Yeah of COURSE I'm going to get the Mofongo..." This is the only thing you need to worry about ordering. Close your eyes and pick one, you couldn't possibly go wrong. Also note Mofongo is usually only available on FRI/SAT/SUN. The staff is very cool, quick, non intrusive, and they recommended a great beer to me. Be sure to take advantage of their rewards system. For every dollar you spend you get a point (they deliver your points via text message). Create an online account, get 20% off and keep track of the points for more rewards. I love you Jimmy'z Kitchen.

    I LOVE JIMMYzzzzzz! Magnificent mofongo! NOTE: For those of you who don't know mofongo, it's a food , not a curse. The menu is well thought out and the choices are ideal. There's something for everybody - chicken, beef, seafood, and the Puerto Rican staple, pork. The Wynwood location is bigger, louder, more seats indoors and out. There's live entertainment during the weekend. It's also great for lunch. TIP: The mofongo is pretty big. 2 of my colleagues and I shared a mofongo for lunch along with sides. None of us had food-coma.

    If you are visiting the Wynwood Arts District then hit up Jimmy'z! They have great service with everyone here being super friendly. The space is wide open and clean too, and I had the Carne Guisada which was made with super tender beef that was pretty satisfying. I even saw that Jimmy himself was there while I ate which was a nice touch to see the owner there...

  • Max T.

    Got a gracious email from the owner, and will tone down the original review and make it more constructive criticism, than just criticism. I tried their version of mofongos. The Mofongo has good taste. The tomato base sauce is not the traditional way to serve mofongo, but it was GOOD. Maybe they should offer the traditional sauce as an option for those who know the diffence? The neighborhood is being revived by an influx of new businesses, I would prefer to go in the daytime and not at night. It is located in an apartment building that looks more appropriately placed in Coral Gables, and not, Wynwood. The building is actually a monument for the real estate bubble burst. Unfortunately, the restaurant has no private parking, or security. I was there on a 200+ person night with the DJ/Live Music, and my recommendations are that for such large crowds, the restaurant should add security for the clients, since there is no private parking, and the neighborhood is still in revival mode. When the crowds are that large, one has to park pretty far from the entrance. The churrasco was okay. The Churasco mofongo was $20 with an iced tea. Value wise, not so sure about it. I did notice that the Chicken option was much cheaper. They are getting 200+ people on a weekend night, so I give them props for making Mofongos chic in Miami/Wynwood.

    I LOVED the mofongo and last time I went but this time tried a salad for a little lighter fare. A little pricy but very good. Lots of choices that make it hard to decide what to have. Great flavor, fresh cooking, all around great place.

  • Jaclyn G.

    Reviewing Jimmy'z has been...challenging. Let me explain: Growing up in a Cuban household, everything we touch, speak, write, sing, and produce forth with the power of our caderas is...in a phrase? Lo mejor. The BEST. We built Miami, doncha know. So how do I concede defeat to the clear brilliance in which this Puerto Rican joint uses a plantain? No es fåcil, chico. No es fåcil. But concede I will, because the mofongo here is killin' it, smalls. Doesn't matter how you choose to protein this baby up (shrimp, chicken, beef, pork), the enormous mound of garlicky mashed plantain is the antidote to whatever resaca you might be at war with. Definitely not a one trick caballito, this casual, brightly-colored, loft-like space dishes up a mean scallops in creole sauce (not too chewy, subtly sweet and delicate) and fresh white fish ceviche generously flanked by two tostones the size of a C-band satellite. atomictoasters.com/wp-co… (Did I mention Cubans exaggerate just a teensy weensy bit?) Jimmy'z knows their way around a beer and wine list, and I may have peed in my Vicky's a bit when I saw they carried a bottle from Tempus Alba, a small winery in Mendoza where there hubs and I got schnokered beyond belief and then proceeded to ride two rickety-ass bikes back to our hotel with 12 bottles of wine in tow. Good times. But Jimmy'z, as much as I'm infatuated with your laid-back style, quality ingredients and addictive mofongo...I still gotta give the flan to my peeps. Not that the flan was bad, mind you...far from it! But I'm accustomed to the caramelized custard-like magic that the Cubans dish up...and your version was a bit too "cake-like" for this Cubanita's taste buds. No matter...as I will surely be back and continue to gorge myself upon one Puerto Rican delicacy after another. Besides, both of our Abuela's taught us that anything less than an empty plate is just plain rude.

    I was first introduced to Jimmy'z Kitchen by my buddy Mario. Hungry and bored we decided to have one of those Friday 'hey let's take a 2 hour lunch break' lunch breaks from work. He ensured us that the place was good and sure enough, it was. Jimmy'z is a sort of casual upscale restaurant where the food is fancy, it's brought to your table via server, but you have to go up to the front to order the food yourself; no waiters/waitresses here. Upon first arrival you'll notice that their menu is quite eclectic. Yes, there is a Spanish theme to it, but there are definitely some things in there that doesn't quite fit any one theme. But honestly, it doesn't really matter. Don't get bogged down trying to read their entire menu and trying to decide what you would like to order. Order their mofongo and sit down. Which one you ask? It doesn't matter. Close your eyes and point to one. They're all delicious. Don't know what mofongo is? Don't worry, its delicious. Upon first bite you'll instantly be transported to a sort of Puertorican nirvana where you'll meet your grandmother (oh you didn't know you were Puertorican?) and give her a big kiss for making you this meal. Yes, I'm a bit obsessed but trust me, you try their mofongo, you will be too. I am happy to say that I have turned some of my friends on to this place and they love it as well. That being said, I definitely recommend that you come here.

  • Marc R.

    Came here this past Art Walk Saturday and liked what we ordered. The pork mofongo and seared ahi tuna salad were delicious. The ceviche starter was tasty and fresh as well but the portion was ridiculously small. Definitely wouldn't recommend it for more than one person. The other thing I had a problem with here was the ordering line situation as its very casual and cuts right through the middle of the dining area. So be ready to be blocked in by a wall of humanity and the very real possibility of having someone's rear end right next to your face while you dine. You'd think that the line would be situated to one side or the other out of the way and not cut in between tables.

    Impressive. Charming. Subtle. Easy. Friendly. From the moment you're driving up you can see the colorful, friendly vibe. The menu has a strong variety and so you might find yourself taking a bit longer than usual to decide but that's a quality problem. Upon approaching the counter my friend and I were delighted by Javier's (the manager) positive demeanor. We ordered: - bolitas de queso - charcuterie platter - mussels - steak frites - caramel apple cheese cake After you order, take your number and the dishes will be brought to your table, shortly. All the food was good. I'd heard Jimmy'z was good but this was GOOD! I picked up my phone and texted a friend immediately telling him he had to stop by. I just had to share my new found quality casual dining destination. Oh.... I think I have a new love! If the weather is nice I'd recommend sitting outside. Thanks to a good wine and craft beer selection you can also consider this for a happy hour scene. Even better? They were playing great tunes while I was there. Proof that some people think about the entire user experience. Once again: Impressive. Charming. Subtle. Easy. Friendly.

    After reading a nice review for Jimmyz in the New Times not too long ago my bf and I decided we had to give it a try. Neither one of us had ever had mofango before so I didn't really know what to expect. All of the options sounded good but we decided to split the Shrimp Mofango and the Real and Rustic Sandwich which had roast beef, melted Brie and caramelized onions. The mofango was very satistying and very filling too! I found the real and rustic sandwich to be good but nothing special. We left stuffed and happy! I will definitely be back again. Next time I'll try a different mofango and maybe one of their delicious looking and sounding salads for our second item.

    We stopped by on a Saturday for lunch. There weren't a lot of people there, so the service was great. We got the food out fairly quickly, and the staff was very attentive. We ordered the Shrimp Mofongo, and a Beef Stew/Carne Guisada. The Mofongo was absolutely delicious. I've never had anything quite like it. The Beef Stew was standard fare. The portions were large, and a party of two left really full.

    I love how casual and laid back this place is. Every time I go there, I get great, personable service and I always leave with a full and happy belly. Their mofongo is on point, though sometimes the puerco is a little salty for my taste. Their seafood selections are also delicious. Perfectly cooked every time I've had something there. I really enjoyed their mussels in a creole tomato sauce, and a mixed seafood dish cooked in a saffron broth with jasmine rice. Great beer and wine selection. Also great espresso. Wish I could try the dessert but I always end up stuffing myself with the delicious savory dishes! Just ease up on the salt for the puerco and it would be absolutely perfect.

    The bomb, mofongo straight from Puerto Rico. The churrasco is a great combo as well and they sell Medalla which seems to be appearing all around Miami. If you want to re-live your roots as a Boricua I highly recommend this place as a sanctuary for your tastebuds.

    4.5 Stars only because they dont have a bloody mary to go along with my lunch (but great selection of wine & beer)! Great food, great new location in Midtown/Wynwood area, and awesome owner in Jimmy! We just had some his famous Mofongo, along with an ahi tuna salad, and a chicken panini to round it off. If I had room, I probably would have had the conch salad on tostones and bolitas de queso which I order almost every time I go. I have also used Jimmys catering for some special events Ive had which I also recommend if you want something a little different for your party. TIP: Make sure to "check in" with YELP and FOURSQUARE as it gives you an automatic free cafecito every time you "check in". Other freebies include free dessert, free meals, and nice group discounts with the "text points" you earn with every one of purchases. You receive them on your phone before you even sit down. Nice modern space, great menu, and cool incentives adds another great option to the Midtown hood!

  • David G.

    We were on the way to Morgan's for an early dinner when we saw Jimmy'z. Recalling all the great reviews on Yelp, we decided to veer off and try it. We ordered the churrasco mofongo and the chicken mofongo. The mofongo itself was very good, but the churrasco and the chicken were barely average. The $17 price tag should warrant more quality. Not helping the experience was our decision to sit outside. We were asked for money a few times by homeless people in the area. Adding to that was a shirtless man walking around with a stick....something that never makes me feel too comfortable. I'll probably check it out again due to all these positive reviews, but it will be for a salad or sandwich and I'll sit inside.

    Jimmy'z Kitchen is THE SHIT. If you're ever sitting at home, and it's getting pretty late- don't want to go out? Jimmy'z comes to you. Great food at extraordinary prices. From the Dominican 'Mofongo' to the classic (yet tasty) Steak Sandwich, this joint has got it all. Centrally located in Wynwood (near Midtown)- Jimmy'z is always happy to serve or deliver. The staff is some of the friendliest around and the turn-around is great! The last time I ordered from here- I got my order in about 15 minutes. I always laugh when I have friends over and they want to order pizza because 'it's all that is really available'. This is when I pull out my Jimmy'z Kitchen menu and watch those eyes widen up. Good job, JKW- keep it up.

    I have not Yelped in a while because most of the places I have gone to have been between 2 and 4 stars; and to be honest, unlike some people in here who have over a thousand yelps, I tend to be a little more selective when giving a review. Having said that, I was a little hesitant about Jimmy Z's, after all the location is not in the best of neighborhoods, but I decided to give it a try anyway, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was great! and the staff was friendly, and very helpful. I did not try the Mofango, but after reading the many reviews about it, I will be sure to go back and try it out. Five stars all the way!

    Delicious food: Check Quality ingredients: Check Good affordable prices: Check Great beer selection: Check Friendly staff: Check Jimmy'z Kitchen is definitely not a place to miss! Many of my puertorrican friends have been plenty of times, but I had been out of the loop and still hadn't stepped in Jimmy'z, and I'm SO glad I finally did. 1 - Jerk Chicken Salad: wow!! The jerk rub on the chicken had the perfect kick to it, combined with the sweetness of mango, refreshing cucumbers and tomatoes and the creaminess of avocado makes this perfect comination of ingredients! They were all so fresh too! 2 - "La Tripleta" panini: a different take on the usual "3am puertorrican sandwhich", but nonetheless delicious!! The 3 meats are: pork, black forest ham and bacon, add to that provolone cheese and caramelized onions, all pressed inside a perfectly warm and crusty cuban bread... Wanna order it already? 3 - Mofongo: It feels so good to find a place in Miami where you can enjoy a real rendition of this staple in our cuisine. You can have it alone, or with any of their protein options. This time I had it alone, and I will definitely order it again.. only thing I would "change" is to add a bit more garlic but regardless it's a must!! 4 - Desserts: Coconut Flan - A whole lot of coconut and not much flan but very good, and I loved the taste of the caramel!! Guava Cheesecake - Very good as well. I really like that it has the guava all over the top, I would only add a tad bit more of cheese to the cake itself. (that's the "cheese fan" in me talking). I left wanting to try their Rum Raisin bread pudding, which I was told it their best-seller... Can't wait to go back and order it! Their 5 stars are well deserved...their menu is varied and offers enough selections to attend to anyone's cravings. I will definitely frequent this place, and I recommend everyone to do so as well!

    Real Housewife of New Jeresy, Teresa Giudice may have come out with a new cookbook called "Fabulicious" but there's nothing fabulous or delicious about her, her desperate attempts to get out of self-inflicted debt, or her ape-like hairline. The silly, fleeting-in-coolness, made up adjective is better suited describing Jimmyz in Wynwood. Not too pricey or pretentious, considering the neighborhood (and it's about time they did something with that creepy empty space they've had chilling by Circa/Electric Pickle/whatever the fuck it is now -- the name always changes, the place stays the same), Jimmyz is a nice, clean, stainless steel spot with pops of oranges, greens, and magentas that boasts a aromatic smell of pure awesomeness. It's a nice lunch or a casual T-shirt-and-jeans-but-I'd-also-like-a-nice-glass-­of-wine-please kind of dinner restaurant. The food is pretty stellar considering its laid back nature -- you order at a counter, take a number, and wait for your food. I ordered the Nicoise salad that came with seared ahi tuna, boiled potatoes, slices of egg, roasted red peppers, olives, and chopped tomatoes -- pretty tasty! I also sampled a little of the charcuterie platter which was a fancy honey-drizzled cheese plate with yummy mounds of prosciutto, gorgonzola, pecorino, manchego, pieces of toast, and a side cup of gherkins and olives. Left pretty satisfied. Can't wait to come back and try out their rum raisin bread pudding!

    An ideal candidate for a 4 1/2 rating, this place was generally very good. I thought the environment was hip and cozy. The food was well above average. I had the tripleta which was ham, bacon, and pork with sauted onions and melted cheese on cuban bread. It had a very nice porky flavor to it. Savory and bold without being overpowering. I also had the churrasco and mofongo dish. I am a big fan of mofongo and this was some of the better mofongo I have had. It was very nicely done. The steak was well seasoned, but I felt like it was a tad on the chewy side for my personal tastes. That was my one small complaint about the food. It was all very tasty and the menu had a bunch of stuff on it that I would want to try. My other criticism is that this place is a little on the expensive side. Sure the food is good, but $35 for a sandwich, some drinks, and mofongo is expensive. But with that being said, I found the meal to be quite satisfying and I wil most likely be returning.

    I didn't get to try the mofongo, but the turkey sandwich (turkey is roasted in house) is sooo good. I'm such a sucker for tomato anything so I loved the sun dried tomato pesto they used instead of mayo. Please get more than tempranillo by the glass though....everything is by the bottle only!

    SO glad Jimmyz opened a new location in Wynwood. It's spacious, clean, has wifi, and most of all, the employees are always so nice. I always opt for an entree - the mojo pork is delicious, and if you're on a no-carb diet, they're happy to sub out the rice for an avocado-tomato salad. And the portions are GENEROUS, which is great, because the plate is like $13 (more than the average lunch). They also have a nice selection of beers/wines and dessert. Yum all around.

  • Sarah Elles B.

    I have to admit that I fell into the pre-opening hype of this new spot. The person who tweets on their behalf @jimmyzwynwood really knows how to get folks interested via social media! They tweeted their menu, I clicked and it looked YUM! Since I visited 3 hours after their soft opening, I expected to see some quirks (as is common w/ restaurants). Not only was everything seamless, the food was even better than I had pictured! All of the employees were friendly & seemed genuinely excited to be there, which is really nice. This place totally has the potential to be a great everyday spot. The decor is hip & casual enough where it doesn't feel stuffy. The food is tasty & sets itself apart from the other hip restaurants popping up in town. There was a great beer & wine selection, but I didn't get to try any of those selections this time (workday). My only disappointment was that I was in a hurry & didn't see their "Specials" board. They had ceviche... but my grilled veggie panini falls into the WIN category & I can try the ceviche next time. WIN: - delivery - great selection (plenty of vegetarian selections too) - hip decor - tasty FAIL: - ? All in all, this is a WIN

    Went here this Past Saturday for Second Saturdays Artwalk. This is order at counter and sit with a number kind of place but don't be mistaken that the food is any less of quality. I had the churrasco steak mofongo and it was yummy. For 17.95 i thought it was a little steep but it was delicious. I also had a side salad for 2.25 which was a good portion and tasty. They have a nice wine selection but no fountain drinks which is a disappointment for Coke lovers. On Saturdays they have different live latin bands that play outdoors that really liven the place up. The place was rockin till 11pm with tables that are put outside for the crowds that you really get to feel the Miami latin beat. All in all Jimmy'z is an experience especially on Saturdays that I will definitely make a return for some Mofongo and to shake my gringo culo to the latin beat.

    Jimmy'z Kitchen has some REALLY good average food. I've eaten here and had food delivered to my place. Both times I've gotten really full and satisfied from what I've chosen and received fantastic service. 1. Creole Shrimp: Comes with jasmine rice and a bunch of shrimp in sauce. No unique or unusual tastes here, just satisfying. 2. Ahi Tuna: OK, but would skip. Nothing to write home about. 3. Cobb Salad: That was a damn good cobb salad. 4. Cubano Sandwich: 3.5 out of 5. It's fine, does the job. The big winner at Jimmy'z is the wine list. We enjoyed a delicious bottle of wine the chef recommended - most bottles here are between $20-$30. For dessert, we had coconut flan which was good. Since they made an honest mistake with my order, we received it complimentary which was really nice of them to do. And although it's super minor - they make a kick-ass espresso. Jimmy'z fills the "I don't want to cook dinner but I don't want to spend all of my eating out budget" void in my heart. I'll definitely be back!

    Thank you yelp for introducing me to this place. I tried it for lunch last week and fell in love. They have a nice selection of salads. I had the chicken fajita salad and it was delicious. It had all kinds of goodies, corn, tortilla chips, etc. The hubby had the Asian chicken salad and it also had all kinds of goodies like nooddles. The hummus was yummy. We also had the mofongo and it was fire. They deliver to my job which is always a plus because not alot of places deliver them. Jimmy'z will see me again. I want to try the happy hour menu because they had a ton of wine options.

  • Gus M.

    This review could just be one and done by just saying the word Mofongo. I'll try to actually make it a lengthy review, here we go. We ordered delivery on a Saturday night, it came within the time they said it would. I got the forgettable Creole chicken, my girlfriend tried their decent try at mojo Cuban pork (fails to compare to mom/dad/grandma/grandpa's version). But, OH MY the MOFONGO. I must have more. And I didn't know I could order it with stuff like churrasco, chicken and shrimp, as I'm seeing on Yelp! Do I simply ASK them to do this? Does it cost extra? I need answers.

    (4)

  • Samira K.

    Not sure what the hype is, but I just didn't enjoy it all that much. I guess it was overly hyped up, and so I expected much more than I got. I ordered the Mofongo with pork since I felt like that was what I NEEDED to try from there, however, it was definitely nothing out of this world. I tried my girlfriend's chicken creole and It was just OK as well. Also, I ordered a side ceasar salad, and I am not the type to drench my lettuce in dressing, on the contrary, I prefer it on the dry side, but they basically put no dressing at all and when we asked for a bit more, they charged an extra $.50, and while that is not much at all, it seemed ridiculous considering they really hardly put dressing to begin with. My gf said the espresso was good. I had their guava cheesecake, and that was probably the best part of my meal. So yeah, It was not boggling, I probably would opt. for another restaurant next time I am in the area.

    This restaurant is located in a kind of weird/sketchy part of Wynwood where there aren't a lot of other businesses around. However, once you actually go inside, the place is awesome. Came here with my two best friends, and it felt very "Sex and the City" (the series, not the terrible movies). We talked for hours, while enjoying Jimmy'z yum yums. I opted for the Chicken Portabella entree (a sauteed chicken breast topped with portabella mushrooms, sitting atop wilted arugula and garlic roasted potatoes), which was great, except just a bit too watery. I would've preferred less mushroom "juice." One of my friends got the jerk chicken salad, and loved it. I didn't catch what my other friend munched on (it was a sandwich though), but she seemed to really like it as well. My entree was only $10, which is pretty great for the amount of food. Got myself a cortadito after the meal, which was also quite perfect. The service was great! The two servers attended us quickly, brought our food out even faster and stopped by our table multiple times to check up on us. By the way, at Jimmy'z you place your order at a counter/register, they give you a number and you put it on your table for the food to be brought to you. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Also, there's free parking available on the street, something I also thought you would care to know. The atmosphere here is also wonderful. There's upbeat music playing, and it's decorated with bright colors, which to me is a huge plus. Gotta say, I will probably return for lunch one of these days.

    Rumor among the foodie set is that the mofongo and jerk chicken salad at Jimmy'z is not to be missed. So like the gourmand groupie that I am, I took the little brother here for lunch today and was not let down. Both items were ridiculously scrumptious and there's something to be said of the warm-natured staff, large-portioned sizes, swift cooking and wallet-friendly prices. I'm also a sucker for modern, airy spaces and Jimmy'z decor fits the bill. All in all, another winner in Wynwood.

  • Sharie B.

    So that is what mofongo is...five stars. So good I was still tasting it hours later, in a good way. After getting a congrats retweet on my recent half marathon finish (go me, go me) I decided that the mixture of protein (pork), carbs (mashed plantains) and salt (pork and mashed plantains) was just what my trainer would have ordered for his post marathon meal. Being a NOLA girl, I know a thing or two about creole sauces. This one was so rich and layered with flavors, I was truly impressed. Although it was my first time eating mofongo it was the best mofongo I ever had! On a previous visit I had the hummus and cucumber salad sandwich. Also yummy. I sat outside with my legs elevated and enjoyed my victory lap around that plate.

    Jimmy'z is now just another reason why I love Wynwood. We frequent the area often due to all the street art findings, and when we realized this restaurant recently opened we decided to pop in and try it out. I have to say, Jimmy'z took me by surprise for the following reasons: after we ordered our food one of the servers came by and asked if we wanted free mojitos (which were actually really good!) and later came around with free appetizers to try out. Bonus! For starters we had the bolitas de queso - fried cheese-filled balls drizzled with guava sauce. These were so good! For my main course I decided to have the chicken mofongo since I've never had it before and because I noticed plenty plates of this dish being served when we first arrived. I have absolutely no regrets in ordering this. Although I have no other mofongo to compare it to, I was hooked! I'm usually more of a sweet plantain kinda gal, but this was crazy addictive. The flavors blended so perfectly and I found myself eating until I couldn't anymore. Plus, for $12.95 this dish is a STEAL.The portion was huge, which gave me leftovers today and the rest for lunch tomorrow! My boyfriend ordered the steak sandwich and he thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I had one bite, and although I'm not big into steak sandwiches, it was really good - great flavor and cheesy which is never a bad thing. Overall I thought Jimmy'z executed everything correctly: warm and welcoming staff/service, a simple yet fresh ambiance and of course the delicious food. We'll definitely be back.

  • Lena C.

    Wow! The salads ingredients are so fresh that I think Jimmy has a garden in the back. I am SO happy they deliver to my house. I really needed another option for hangover Sunday delivery. I have to agree with my other Yelps that the Guava cheesecake is the best. I bought two on my way home to share & wish I would have just grabbed a whole guava cheesecake. It went that fast!! I am looking forward to the mofongo soon!

  • Cindy A.

    My sister came to visit and wanted to go here. I had never been so we went. I was not impressed with the Mofongo at all we tried 3 beef, pork n shrimp. Wine was not worth it either. Total disappointment ... will maybe go back for parranda but that's a maybe

  • Yari B.

    Jimmy's is great for a quick and casual meal. You order at the counter then find your own table and wait for your food to be brought to you. However the flavors are above fast food. We loved the cheese balls! Next time I will ask for extra guava sauce on the side for dipping. Crab cakes are a solid 4 stars and good choice for appetizer. We did not get to try the regular mofongo because of a "shortage of plantains in Miami" but they did have yuca mofongo that satisfied my mofongo crave. I found the chicken pieces a bit tough but the sauce and yuca made up for it. Will be coming back to try their plantain mofongo and other items on the menu. Also a good option for delivery. They deliver to Brickell for a $2 fee.

    Oh my freaking god - go to this place right now. Drop what you are doing, stop reading this post, and go to Jimmy'z and order either the Churrasco or Chicken Mofongo - you can then die happy. There's a lot of other great items on their menu like salads, sandwiches, and other main plates - but not ordering the mofongo is like a photographer not bringing their camera. I have been raving about this place since my first time there - and continue to. The staff is super friendly - especially Javier - who makes you feel super comfortable. Don't forget that they have a yelp special offer for checking in - and you'll get a free cafecito! Love this place!!

    Wow! This place is SO GOOD. I've only been to this one for lunch (I've been to the SOBE one for lunch and dinner) and it's been unbelievable each time! The first time I got the turkey sandwich and it was the perfect combination of ingredients! Not too heavy.. just perfect. I shared a pina colada cheese cake and it was not my favorite thing... but my other friend got an apple cheese cake and it blew my mind! Then I went again and had the jerked chicken salad... it was the freshest salad I've ever had! The ingredients went together PERFECTLY and a little bit of the dressing went a LONG way. I'll be back to this place for dinner soon!

    Breakfast was off da hook. Service a rare five too, in this rudebwoy (or girl) town. Don't sleep on Jimmy. It's a classic style diner and servings are plentiful. Coffee refills with your breakfast are nonstop! I tried French Toast, pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Writing about it brings back good thoughts..

    I finally got the opportunity to check out this place after hearing so much about it, all great reviews. The place is large, has outdoor seating and plenty of parking all around the area. As mentioned by others, you walk up to the counter, order your food, pay, take a number, find a seat, and wait for your food to br brought to you. We ordered the mofongo with the churasco and since it was happy hour, we had a round of Blue Moon beer. The food, true to it's reputation was great. Freshly made, well cooked, very nice presentation. The menu is vast, from sandwiches, to salads, to soups, but we were there for one thing and one thing only; Mofongo. Definitely a place a would visit over and over again.

    We ordered the pork mofongo to share as a group and it was soooo good. All the ingredients in my Jimmyz chopped salad were fresh and crisp and the candied walnuts were little crunchy pieces of heaven that matched the bleu cheese wonderfully. The staff was so nice from start to finish, from helping my friend pick out a beer to double checking if we liked our first mofongo ever. This place is clean and festive and there are so many good things on the menu that I must come back. Any place that has high quality health conscious options gets an A in my book. ^_^

    One word... WOW!!! The food at jimmyz was amazing! I ordered the crab cake appetizer to start and had to follow with the churrasco and shrimp mofongo. Had been craving really good mofongo since my visit to Luquillo PR last year and no place seemed to come even close. Flavorful food was beyond what I expected, great staff, and the feedback posted here is the Truth!! Don't miss out on giving this place a try.

  • Patsy K.

    This place I found out from Yelp! is a puertorrican resturant. I am from PR (just been here for 2 years) therefore I was craving some mofongo like a pregnant lady (no, I am not pregnant). SO I went there with my boyfriend to try this amazing puertorrican food. OK, this is my thing: the place is beautiful & the location is super good because I live two blocks away. The service was good because we quickly said we are from PR. I kinda didnt like that they made NO changes to the plates...NO changes! so we ordered and when i say the price i almost had a heart attack. back home if we ordered the plates we orderes it would have been $10-$15 less. I was anxiously waiting for the food to see the big deal. I was excited because i ordered bistec with arroz habichuelas y mofongo. one of my favorite comfort foods from back home. when it got there it look beautiful but fancy. I thought this is what we call a "fonda" but it was a bit fancier, i guess for the price i got my money's worth in apperance. the food was tasty but i still in the hunt for the perfect puertorican fonda here in Miami....with fonda price as well.

  • Mimi S.

    Awesome food and great staff. We ordered the fried queso balls and shrimp mofongo, based on Yelp reviews, and tried out the burger. The cheese bites were so tasty and we ordered some guava sauce on the side because it was even better to dip them. The shrimp mofongo was great, filling, and the sauce was comparable to a family-cooked shrimp enchilado. It was a huge amount of dry plantains in the middle and we felt like something was missing, perhaps to have them stuffed with meat/seafood as well. My husband had a satisfying burger which came with potato discs flattened as tostones would be. We shared a slice of the guava cheesecake and it was amazing! The staff were very helpful with any questions that came up and friendly. Great foodie find.

    The chicken mofongo was so-so. I'm not used to eating mofongo with a tomato based sauce rather than with a broth based sauce. It was too salty. Next time I'll try something other than the mofongo.

    I ate here on Art Walk night with a couple girlfriends and never made it to art walk, ha! The food was divine. The chef came out and asked us how everything was.

    Myself, my husband an our friends came here on a Friday night for dinner, specifically for Mofongo and Mofongo we got! We all tried a different variety of their classic dish, and it was delish! A definite must if you're visiting here. My one not-so-positive comment is about the service. We ordered our food at the counter, and woman behind the counter was EATING while taking our order. Not snacking, but EATING. She had an entire plate of food. While I know they've got to eat too, it definitely doesn't have to be at the front counter as you're taking food orders. She was friendly enough, but it was definitely off-putting. Secondly, service at the table was pretty much nonexistent. I ordered hot tea with my meal, and had to go back to the counter to get hot water, and any water for that matter. It's not a huge deal, it's more of an observation than a complaint. I definitely recommend this place, and will definitely be eating here again.

  • Michelle S.

    Okay, so I've had better mofongo...in PR! But it was pretty darn close in flavor to the best I've ever had. So the price may be a bit inflated, but definitely cheaper than a flight to PR! My favorite thing about Jimmy'z is that the focus is on quality and not one of the usual 'image over substance' locations you come across much too often. I went back and had creole chicken with red beans. The beans were scarce (mainly the sauce) but the taste was delicious! My FI kept trying to take some. Overall, a solid establishment with satisfying meals and decent portions. Love the rewards and the beer selection (they have chimay blue!!)

    Pretty good food and beer selection. I had the steak molongo which was pretty tasty but never having authentic Cuban food I can't really speak to the authenticity of the dish. Coming from a beer city this is the first place I have seen in Miami that has great selection on beer and I greatly appreciated it since it has been forever since I've had a duvel in a restaurant

    I really like this place, great salads, an awesome burger and plenty of options for anyone (well I'd have to check for vegans). It is an order at the counter place that brings food to the table, which I love because it means their prices are fair without wait staff overhead. The ambiance is great and the covered outdoor seating is nice when it isn't too windy.

    If I could give a ZERO I would but clearly thats not an option. This place was great until I got home to a dead fly in my salad! Was very disgusting!! This now has made me almost never want to order a salad from anywhere. I called them immediately and told them and they actually had the nerve to ask me if I would like a new one. No way will I ever eat from this place. It came as such a shock because this place comes of pretty nice. Guess we never see what really goes on in the kitchen!

    The Mofongo of course is the best I have tried in a long time which is to die for but beyond that there is such a diverse menu that it is amazing the quality of all their dishes. My husband and I go at least once a week. He usually orders the Mofongo with Shrimp, consistently delicious, I, on the other hand have ordered from their salad menu to their special nightly dishes and everything is very well prepared, wonderfully seasoned and extremely fresh (last night's special of blackened mahi with avocado salad and rice was YUMMMM). Beer and wine selections are great, service is very attentive and the space is very comfortable and pleasant. Jimmy's Kitchen is a much needed addition to our restaurant scene. Affordable, excellent variety and quality of food in a very welcoming environment.

    I am a Mexican from So Cal and I have so say, PR and Cuban food usually tastes a little boring to me. But, Jimmy's change my opinion. EVERYTHING was yummy. I will be sure to be back there. The MOFONGO was the best! A must try!

    Went for both lunch and dinner on the same day because the food is THAT good and fresh! Such a great selection, huge portion sizes, and incredible taste. I want to go to Wynwood now for so much more than just Art Walk!

    I give it two stars because although the food was good (blueberry cheesecake especially), I will never return because the service was horrendous... not "messing up our order" horrendous, but just downright unfriendly and they made us feel like we were putting them out. 3 friends and I went to Jimmy'z on a very slow day (Saturday afternoon) and there were about 6 other patrons inside. Because I wasn't sure where to park (the neighborhood isn't the best), I called from my car to ask, and got major attitude from the woman on the phone. After parking on the first floor, we entered and I met the woman to whom I had just spoke. "Maybe it was just phone-awkwardness," I thought, but no, she was just as rude when I was ordering as she was on the phone. She couldn't have been more unhappy to take my order, or look me in the eye. Nevermind that she neglected to give me silverware OR my drink after she took my money. The food took inordinately long to come out, more than 20 minutes, and as I've mentioned, there were not that many people there. I would like to go back because the food was all right, but after being treated like that, I refuse to support this business.

    Went with the family for dinner and dancing, and one of my best times in Florida yet. The Puerto-rican niece-in-law loved the food, as did the Cuban sister-in-law. Whatever I had was really good, and the choice of micro-brewery beers was nice. Great dancing out-front with the sexy Melina.

    OK, so my offices are right around the corner from this spot BUT I never stopped in until about 2 weeks ago. I was elated to find such a great place hidden on Miami Ave. It's sets a very high standard for quality and freshness. Since my first day there for lunch, I have returned every single day. Really. The salads are great, the tuna tartar is awesome, the cuban sandwich is to die for. What a great range of selection, both latin and american selections, you have to check it out if you are in the area. It smacks up everything in Midtown (where I used to go for lunch everyday)... Thanks Jimmy!!

  • Tania H.

    Very kool fun place to go for lunch or brunch. A big fan of their caprese, nicoise, & arugula salads & most of their sandwiches. A decent wine selection too for Sunday brunch and a new favorite item we found was "Morimoto" beer - never knew he had a beer line until now. Inside you will find it has open spaces with high ceilings ( very NY loft) vibe. Love the color contrast and the whole aestethic apeal or you can choose to sit outside as well.

    Jimmy'z Kitchen in Wynwood is one of the best causal dining spots in Miami if your looking for some good Latin inspired food. The restaurant itself has indoor and outdoor seating which is nice and provides a very "cool" and relaxed atmosphere. So far I've had the shrimp mofongo, bolitas de queso, tostones, camarones enchilados, and the flan de coco. My favorite by far is the shrimp mofongo. It is a very generous portion with lots of mofongo, tons of shrimp (they even put some inside the mound of mofongo), topped with a delicious enchilado sauce. The only thing that would make it perfect is if they took the tails off of the shrimp for you. Now, I know everyone loves the cheesecake, but you have to give the coconut flan a try. The flan is delicious and has the coconut cooked into the bottom. It's the perfect way to end your meal after eating all of that savory food. Jimmy'z gets a major thumbs up from me. I haven't eaten there nearly enough.

  • John T.

    Hands-down, the best Mofongo in South Florida. Been living in Miami for 20 years, have tried all the Puerto Rican restaurants, but Jimmy'z has the recipe that beats them all. Savory and unique. A must try!

  • Lee W.

    Fantastic food and great service!!! Everything from the decor to the prompt service was awesome at Jimmyz kitchen. It is so worth going out of the way to go to Wynwood just for the food! Try the Cjeese balls they are to die for!!

  • Jonathan M.

    Went for the first time last week after reading great reviews. Amazing pork mofongo, doesn't get much better than that. The only reason it didn't get the five stars is because I only know one other place with better mofongo than here. Nice restaurant situated in the middle of Wynwood. Great place...I definitely recommend!

  • Jamie C.

    Wow, this place is amazing. I absolutely loved it. Very casual, yet super cute and trendy place. You order your food at the counter, pick your bottle of wine, and they serve you your first glass while you're paying, loved it! Lets just start by the fact that they have a "Mofongo Menu" which is overwhelming becuase everything sounds delicious. When the food came out, it exceeded all expectations, we had the mofongo (original), and the seared tuna, it was one of the best ive ever tasted, i am soooo excited to bring everyone i know to this place, it gets an A+ in my book.

    (5)

  • Maria V.

    One word to describe the food...... YUM! The food is good. You must have the cheese balls and the mofongo. Cheesecake was also delicious with a cappuccino. They know what they're doing in that kitchen. They also have sandwiches. Haven't had one yet. Need to go back for my Jimmy fix. Hopefully soon. *Good place if you have little ones. When you sit outside.

    It's Sunday morning and wake up starving. A friend who resides in Miami texts me from Tampa that she is having the best mofongo in Tampa worth driving to Tampa for. I said to her.. there is no way I'm driving 4 hrs to Tampa when Miami has the biggest influx of "Latinos". NOW I'm challenged to find the best MOFONGO locally , as I usually do I YELP.."Best Mofongo in Miami... and the first place that pops up is Jimmy Z Kitchen.. after reading a dozen reviews I was convinced this is the place. We arrived at the Miami Art District location which was recently opened. There were only two other groups eating as they had just opened for lunch. The place is Modern, trendy casual and super duper clean., and the ambiance is cool, they had spanish rock playing (Mana and the likes)..They don't have a bar but do have wines and champagne. Daily menus are written on a blackboards on the wall.. They have a Full Mofongo Menu people!!!,,, Churrasco mofongo, Shrimp Creole Mofongo, Chicken creole, mixed seafood , fish mofongo and of course the original "Puerco Mojo Mofongo" We ordered the original and the steak encebollado for entrees and..for appetizer we ordered the bolitas de quezo con guava sauce.. that was scrumptious. BUT.. let's talk about the MOFONGO SHALL WE... OMFG!!!! SOOOO freaking goood... It is served over a bed of lean juicy pork meat with mojo sauce ,but let's describe the mofongo it self, is thick tostones mashed to resemble our very own cuban fufu..Utterly amazing.!!! We paired our very rustic latin meal with a bottle of champagne.. I had no idea that champagne went so well with mofongo..but come to think of it CHAMPAGNE goes with everything awww! DESSERT Home made Guava cheese cake topped with guava marmalade...YUMMY!!!! We are coming back to try the rest of the MOFONGO MENU soon...along with my crazy friend who challenged me .

  • Emilio L.

    Very disapointing! The mofongo with shrimp and the mofongo with seafood we ordered had very little to do with the mofongos prepared and eaten by Puerto Ricans; the sauces were over powering and the seafood was overcooked! Will not go back to this place!

    (1)

  • Brad L.

    I have eaten at Jimmey'z several time and never been disappointed in quality or price. The decor is bright but minimalist with huge windows all around. yesterday for launch we had the grilled salmon and hummus appetizer - both were tremendous portions and the total bill was around $30. Rather than go into long detail, let me just say this place rocks and every time I've been there it's excellent. Highly recommend for a simple dinner with friends, lunch or just quick meal. Not extremely romantic but fun place.

  • Veronica C.

    They deliver so fast! :-) We are very happy to have them in our neighborhood. Jimmyz is affordable and quite tasty! The Good: (That we have tasted so far) Mofongo (Any kind) Churrasco Chicken Portobello The "eh": Tomato Mozarella Salad Arugula Salad I still have a lot to taste, so as you can see, we will be back. :-) It's actually nice to have a Latin place so close bye.

    Since the first review was just for takeout, let's call this the unofficial first review including the service and ambience ;) For starters, JimmyZ Kitchen - Wynwood features a solid variety of different foods and beers without being overwhelming. There are Panini, Entrees, Desserts and daily specials. According to Jimmy, they're looking to have a daily ceviche special, while today's board featured appetizing items like the Baseball Cut Top Sirloin Steak with wine demi-glaze and a Meat Charcuterie. I ordered the Portobello Chicken entree with potatoes for dinner along with a beer and for dessert Jimmy graciously asked us to try his mother's family recipe for Guava Cheesecake. The Chicken dish was wonderfully cooked and flavored with a mass of sliced porto mushrooms and arugula, on top of a pan fried chicken breast. The potatoes were baked and nicely seared on one side, served under the chicken to best soak up all of the juices from the combination. This was probably the lowest priced entree on the menu, and I can tell it will be a staple for any regular of this establishment! The beer selection is reasonably priced, and ranges from Pabst Blue Ribbon ($3) to Chimay ($6.50) with selections like Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter (which I had on this visit) falling into the $5 category where most of the selections lie. If you're into micro-brews, this is an excellent development since some of these bottles cost north of $3 in a retail establishment. I'm not a big cheesecake person, but I really enjoyed JimmyZ mom's version. Most bakers try to over-sweeten the cheesecake, or make the texture so beyond rich that it just turns me off. The Guava Cheesecake was light and fluffy, with a guava topping that is sweet, but not overwhelming. Service at JimmyZ is what I'd call quick-serve table service, where you order at the counter, get your drinks, and the food is brought to the table by the numbers. It was only the 2nd night open, so there weren't large crowds just yet, so it remains to be seen how their service performs under pressure... but everyone was quite friendly and the food arrived promptly. I am overall not a fan of this service arrangement, but for those of you allergic to tipping it works (this is about 15% of the dining public or 90% of Canadians). I can't say enough about the outstanding design of the interior space of the restaurant. The building, and space, features a loft design and JimmyZs takes advantage of it keeping the high ceilings semi-exposed and using bright colors to accent the polished concrete floors. The sound proofing is provided by mustard orange faux Italian Couches (ok, I had a couch that looked just like the sound dampers, they're pretty neat). Also, JimmyZ offers free wifi to customers. Overall, the food was outstanding and I don't think you can beat the price for a fresh cooked meal at what promises to be another hot spot in the Wynwood Arts District. See you there!

    Great neighborhood eat! The food is right on the spot, I've been there a few times and have never been disappointed. The prices are very reasonable and their beer selection is outstanding. If you're looking for a yummy, filling, casual spot - you've found it. Try the bolitas de queso and any of the mofongos are to die for.

    I've been here twice now. The first time I came with my boyfriend, who wanted to try it out for lunch and I had a salad (silly me!) and it was a great salad. A lot of food, good chicken, he liked his sandwich. Loved the location, loved the place (very casual, not pretentious) and it was easy to find parking. What more could you want? I signed up for their rewards club and I got a text message confirming my membership. Great, no problem. The second time I went with the boyfriend and another friend, and I finally tried the famous mofongo and............... OMG.......... it was so good. I agree the prices are a tad high, but for the quality of the food, I would say it's worth it. Save your pennies and then splurge. The service is good, you order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. Lots of wine and beer pick from. I haven't had any of the desserts, but they didn't look like they would wow me.

  • mauricio o.

    Good food from what i saw, decent selection of beer and wine. plastic cups just upset me.... especially when the beer is the same price as everywhere else that would provide you with a cold glass. food was good and the people at the counter were amiable. the whole number system is not my favorite way to distribute food.. there was an element of chaos on the saturday night i was there. other than that.. nothing worth noting.. i wouldn't suggest going ... yet i also wouldn't object to going back .. neutral is my standpoint.

  • Tricia M.

    One of my very favorite restaurants! We have eaten here over 20 times. Sign up for the rewards program. It is super worth it. Every few meals, I get a text that gives me 20% off my next meal. I always order the same thing - the Seared Ahi Special. It is so insanely delicious. The tuna it good quality, I could drink the sauce it's so good, and the avocado/tomato salad is delicious and refreshing. I also love their selection of craft beers. The ambiance of Jimmy'z is chill but nice. The staff is always friendly. The chef brought us out some complimentary fritters one evening where we brought friends for dinner and it knocked everyone's socks off.

    Really tasty food. Very, very casual setting. I got pretty bad service from the cashier though. I would come back, but for a quick lunch or for dinner when nothing else is in the fridge.

  • Eddy B.

    Ok, I am Puerto Rican and make some viscious rican foodies, but the shrimp mofongo was overpriced and plantains overcooked..big thumbs down! The Steak sandwich was overpriced and nasty...Stay in Southbeach, cause the food in the wynwood restaurant blows. One star iz too high.

  • Roger C.

    AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE!!! Which is really hard to find. We have been back several times and have tried the sandwiches, salads, desserts & of course the mofongo. Everything is always fresh and full of flavor one of my favs.

    We have been here twice. On our first visit, we had the pork mofongo and the shrimp mofongo. Both were amazing! The pork mofongo was the better of the two. On our second trip, we had the pork mofongo and the beef stew. This time around, the pork mofongo had a citrus based mojo without enough mojo sauce. The clump of pork was rather dry but plentiful. The beef stew was simply boring! It was on the Miami New Times 100 Favorite Dishes, so I thought I would give it a try. Boy was I wrong for making that choice... I should've gone with the shrimp mofongo. Luckily, my husband traded his mofongo for my beef stew... and we left only mildly disappointed. Hopefully, it was just an off day and the next time we return to Jimmyz, the pork mofongo will be as juicy and garlic-y as it was the first time we visited.

  • Shanell D.

    I LOVE the mofongo here! I have had it in Puerto Rico and it is just as good, if not better than the many places i had it in PR. You will not be disappointed no matter which type you desire.

    (5)

  • Zahira A.

    I had been trying to get my boyfriend to come here for a while, as it's close to where we live and I heard they had mofongo - I'm Puerto Rican and can't resist a chance to try good mofongo! Well I finally convinced him, and boy was he surprised... he ordered 5 things on the menu just for himself! I ordered the chicken mofongo and a side of avocado & tomato salad. Everything was delicious. The mofongo was steaming hot and had just the right amount of garlic in it. When we asked what was in the vinaigrette that was brought out with a salad, the guy who brought it out named every ingredient in it... impressive! That may sound silly but my bf has some food allergies and you would be surprised at how many restaurant employees have no clue what goes into the food they serve. They also had my boyfriend's favorite craft beer (Magic Hat #9), so he was happy. The reason for 3 stars however: it took much longer than necessary to place our order. They seemed a little unorganized behind the counter. While the avocado & tomato salad was delicious, it was drenched in way too much olive oil. The black beans were a little blah in comparison to everything else. Also - my boyfriend ordered a shrimp salad and bit into a chunk of WOOD! He almost broke his tooth. So be careful if you order a salad because they don't seem to check their pre-cut greens very carefully. Other than that, we will be back

  • Linda T.

    I recently visited Jimmy's, super excited to try the Mofongo dish. I went on a vaction to Puerto Rico a couple months ago and had mofongos there practically every day and it was AMAZING!!. So after reading all the reviews about Jimmy's I was expecting the same......... I had the churrasco mofongo and I didn't finish my dish. The steak was good but the plantains were hard as rocks. The mofongo's I had in Puerto Rico were made using sweet plantians and were so soft, it damn near melted in your mouth. The sauce that surrounded the mofongo was great, but I diffently won't be back or at least get the Mofongo again.. My boyfriend had a chicken dish, I don't remember the name but he was not impressed. It was a good effort, but ehh....

  • Iris B.

    was introduced to my very first mofongo...had the red fish tonight . it was really good and i had so much food on my plate that i couldn't eat it all in one sitting...i have a whole nother meal for tomorrow! now since i've never had mofongo before i didn't know what to expect but the plaintains had a really nice texture and flavor to them and the sauce mixed nicely with the fish. my company had the steak sandwich which looked really good. the place is very cute, clean, and chill with no fuss ordering... we sat outside in the perfect cool night air, relaxed and enjoyed our meal...afterwards, because i checked into Yelp, they gave me a free espresso (good thing i have to stay up for awhile tonight!)... will frequent again for sure.

    LOVE LOVE Jimmy'z in south beach. I order delivery all the time and every time it's great. Victor is always so nice and makes sure everything is perfect. I started going for lunch and they are always packed but Victor always makes everyone feel welcome and treats everyone like old friends. It's not easy finding a restaurant on south beach that has great service and fabulous food. If you want amazing food and good service go here!!

    Well I saw this restaurant in the news,and I saw their signature platter the mofongo.I waited a while to go eat there,well finally I decided to go check it out,my wife and I order the chicken mofongo and also order dessert the vainilla flan,now we did order it to go cause we were tired,Now while we were waiting for our food we did look around and the enviroment was very upbeat the restaurant was decent overall a nice place to go and sitdown and have a bite.The attention from the servers were great.Well got my food and went home.Got home and starting eating that plate like it was no tomorrow the food tasted very good the chicken with the creolle sauce was very good too.....the only reason I did not gave 5 starts is cause I like my mofongo with pieces of chicharron inside and this one didnt had it but over all a very good taste and once I finish my food I watch tv and fell asleep I was knocked out and when that happens you know the food was great.....I wish the can open one close to kendall.........I will be going again.

    Beat my expectations! Clean and stylish decor, excellent service, lots of great selections on the menu at prices which are friendly to your wallet. They don't gouge you on drinks: $6.50 Belgian Chamay beer, $1 espresso, $2 cappuccino. I had the best turkey sandwich in Miami. Friendly staff, easy parking.

    The food was great everything was on point! My husband had lamb chops which I am not a big fan off but this lamb chops had great flavor and tender.He also had a side of mofongo and it was super tasty, take a bite and you just don't want to put your fork down. I had shrimp creole I loved it! I liked the atmosphere, very modern and cozy to enjoy a great meal with friends or family. The service was great the staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately because we were just so full we didn't have dessert but i will sure be going back and saving room for dessert next time!

    Service is SLOW. But the food is super yummy so I'll let it slide. Have had their chicken salad sandwhich and steak before. Two very different dishes but both were superb. Place has a cool modern vibe to it. Plenty of outdoor seating. Place is a madhouse during a weekday lunch, so make sure you have time to spare!

We'll definitely be back to try the seafood and churrasco mofongo.. We didn't try any of the desserts but they did look tasty!! Thumbs up Jimmy'z!! Thanks for bringing some diverse food into the neighborhood!! =)

    I saw Guy Fieri had a culinary orgasm when eating at Benny's in Miami. I'm not from Miami. A little research and I found that Jimmy'z seemed to be an overwhelming favorite for mofongo in Miami, particular from Cubans and Puerto Ricans. I went with the seafood mofongo. Absolutely superb. What was a heaping mound of deliciousness was devoured within minutes. I happily anticipated the heartburn. I was in Old San Juan recently. It really is as good. Would be back in a heartbeat.

  • Bruce B.

    The food is very interesting and flavorful. We had the seared Tuna and the Roasted vegetable panini. Both were good the Tuna came with a Mango, Avocado and Beef steak tomatoes relish and a soy wasabi vinaigrette - Excellent! the panini had a touch of curry and goat cheese also very good. Defiantly will go back. The area around is also very nice with all the art galleries.
