Food That Brings the Table Together
Puerto Rican cooking was built around the family table. The tradition of comida compartida — shared food — is at the heart of every dish at Grillers Puerto Rico. When a Parrillada Caribeña lands on your table, piled high with skirt steak, ribs, chicken, longaniza sausage, tostones, and mamposteao rice, it's impossible not to feel the warmth of that tradition. This is food designed to be passed around, commented on, and remembered.
Chef Jose Antonio Martin Grau — who has spent over 25 years perfecting the craft of Puerto Rican cuisine — built the Grillers menu with families in mind. Every dish comes in portions generous enough to share. Every table is a gathering place. Whether it's a weeknight family dinner or a full birthday celebration, the kitchen prepares every plate with the same care and pride.
Dishes the Whole Family Discovers Together
For families new to Puerto Rican cuisine, Grillers Puerto Rico is the perfect introduction. The menu is approachable without being simplified — adults can explore bold flavors like the La Chorrera (Chuleta Kan Kan with garlic cream shrimp cascading over mofongo) while kids discover tostones, sorullitos, and crispy chicharrones de pollo. The Fritanguita sampler starter — a platter of codfish fritters, corn rolls, beef alcapurrias, and fried cheese — is one of the best ways to experience the breadth of Puerto Rican appetizer culture as a family.
The mofongo relleno is another family favorite. Choose from 9 varieties — shrimp, steak, chicken, octopus, conch, or the spectacular Crocante de Pernil (mofongo wrapped in pork rind and stuffed with slow-roasted pernil). Each variety arrives at the table as its own event, a carved bowl of garlic-mashed plantains filled and overflowing. Kids and adults alike are wowed every time.
Live Music, Community, and a Reason to Come Back
Some of the most beloved family memories at Grillers Puerto Rico happen on live music nights. The Kissimmee location has live music every Friday and Saturday — the Chickasaw Trail location every Friday. Dining with authentic Caribbean rhythms in the background transforms a family dinner into a cultural experience. Parents and grandparents reconnect with island traditions. Kids experience Puerto Rican music and culture in a setting that's joyful and accessible.
A family meal is about the people around the table as much as the food. Grillers serves Puerto Rican dishes in three Central Florida locations; browse the menu together and contact your chosen restaurant about seating, dietary needs and current hours before your visit.
