El Mata Munchies Fusión - Puerto Rican restaurant in West Palm Beach - 2800 N Military Trl APT 113, USA

Okay okay, I've been neglecting making this review and here it is. This place is probably one of the BEST places I've ever had with true Puerto Rican food. The funny part about it is, without even seeing the flag or anything just by the vibes coming in you know it's a proud Puerto Rican who either owns it or runs it. The experience here is that similar to my New York Puerto Rican spots. I had appetizers, and their pizza empanada was to cry for. Their acapudia was that of when I would get them from my grandmother. Their ultimate topping was their flan... not an overaction, but it is a must try dessert! Here's the pictures 📸 can't wait to go again!

5 stars ⭐️- I had this placed Saved on my “Go to” places. Came here on a Sunday and it wasn’t full because it was 1 hr before closing time. But there was still plenty customers, so I can only imagine on a busy Friday or Saturday. I love the atmosphere and the vibe at this place. They did a pretty good job with the PR 🇵🇷 theme! The music, the pool tables, domino table, and airplane seats 💺 makes you feel like you’re in a restaurant in PR! The food was delicious 😋 I had the Arroz con gandules, sweet plantain and pernil it was 🔥! My girl got the “Costilla de Res” with Arroz con gandules Tostones and Guac. It was also very tasty the meat had a nice grilled taste. For appetizer we had the empanadas, hands down get the Beef one, over the chicken. Beef had cheese inside as well and was very flavorful! - $3 for ONE (a bit pricey for an empanada - 2 for $4 it’s probably where I would say it’s fair) but oh well. I don’t make the prices. Overall very nice hidden spot in West Palm. I had driving by Military Trail so many times and didn’t know about it, but I’m glad I do now! Wepa! 🥘 🕺🏻

This place really amazed me with its menu options and how good the food is: Absolutely stellar. I started with a shrimp and meat taco. Both were exquisite. Next, I got the Empanadillas de pulpo (octopus turnover) and I loved it so much I had to get another one to-go. The flan was spectacularly rich & creamy without it being too sweet. I will definitely be bringing more people to have them discover this place, as should you!

Was very disappointed with the food the pernil was old and you could taste it the rice was dry and no Puerto Rican flavor the salad came out dry no dressing the only thing that was good were the sweet plantains and the can soda will never spend my money here again.

I had been trying for some time now to find the time to go by and try out their food and I was finally able to do so for lunch. They did not disappoint at all. I ordered the mofongo con masitas and the meat was so good and flavorful. The meat was juicy. The mofongo was adequate just right and not dry. I also ordered a Carne Empanadilla and it tasted like the ones I used to eat as a kid. Really good food with reasonable prices and I will definitely be going back again

It's not Puerto Rican food in terms of tradition. But tasty, good service. Empanadas are on point and rice is well made. Just don't expect traditional Puerto Rican food. It is fusion, so whatever they are fusing with makes it not super traditional. Would absolutely eat there again

While los munchie es tuvieron matados I am not quite sure the restaurant’s heart was in it. The place had nice decor and seems like there is a lot of potential here. Will have to come back another day just to see if maybe they were having an off day. Don’t let this detour you from heading here. Worth a shot to come check out and have something different to munch on.

This is the real deal right here. Good Puerto Rican food that has a great atmosphere. Plenty of room for large parties of people and even has domino table and pool tables. The food was great i had the quintupleta and wow super filling and the taste was spot on. Staff is very nice. Also good music playing the whole time i was there. I was told every Friday they have live music/DJ. Definitely on my to do list now.
