Francisco's Restaurant

The jerk chicken has so good and a great value for $15. I loved the sauce so much I bought a bottle to take home. I returned 4 hours later with friends to have dinner! The oxtail was so tender and the goat was good but not amazing. Highly recommend that you eat here!

Very nice spot! Easy to get to and park nearby. Was greeted upon entering and had a great experience overall. The Jamaican beef patty was delicious — filling was flavorful and the crust was flaky. Ordered the whole fish, steamed, with veggie rice. The fish was flaky and delicious in the coconut broth. Also tried a side of jerk chicken — stellar! Flavorful and marinated throughout the meat and was very juicy! Loved everything!

The staff seemed overwhelmed and a little grumpy (which was sort of funny), and so I didn't expect much of the food. But I was willing to try it anyway. And boy am I glad I did. The empanadas and jerk chicken were fantastic. Really good quality everything-even the sauces. I paid more than I had expected, but after my meal, I feel it was worth it.

The Sweet Plantains were simply fantastic, maybe best part of this simple meal. Also good was my Jerk Chicken. Seems that the chicken is smoked for any meal, then sauce as appropriate is applied or provided as the case may be. Her Mango/Pineapple chicken hit the spot too. I had coconut rice, and that was totally different from my imagination. Not like Thai coconut, but a very worthy meal companion just the same. But the Sweet Plantains, yeah, I could make a meal out of a plate of those! Totally worth a stop, but think food court instead of Fancy Restaurant and you will enjoy your food. Many take out meals moved through the front door while I consumed at a table.

This is an awesome place. It's nice to have a Caribbean restaurant that also sells Cuban food. The empanadas are fantastic and I love the fact that the Empanada the day had plantains along with the meat and cheese. The Cuban steak sandwich was phenomenal and the portions of sandwich and fries or generous. Friendly owners and a nice looking restaurant. Strongly recommend.

The food here is always tasty with great service. I had a catastrophic malfunction with my take out order where the food was so hot it melted through the styrofoam. I called the restaurant and they replaced it within 20 minutes! Will always recommend this place for their customer service and great food!

OMG. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I had jerk chicken, coconut rice and veggies. Everything tasted fantastic but let me tell you about the cabbage. I could have eaten just the cabbage because it was so flavorful. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re ever in Rochester MN. I will definitely be going back next time I’m here. Oh and it’s conveniently located to the Mayo Clinic.

The food was great and the staff were very friendly! A nice little small diner. I likely could’ve had 1 of everything and enjoyed each item. Only downside was them being out of the pastries and croquettes, but rest of food made up for it. Thanks!
