Jessica Titus: Really disappointed because this place had great food. Ordered through Eatstreet, show up, and no one is there. The sign on the door says they're only open Thursday and Friday (it's Thursday) but the lights were off and no one inside and Google hasn't been updated. Luckily got my money back through Eatstreet customer service. No website up anymore and phone number is no longer in service. If you're not open anymore, please share it with the rest of us.

Carla Reibold: Drove an hour to have sign on door stating only open Thur and Fri... update the website.!!

Thomas Gamble: NEED TO CHANGE HOURS ONLINEI ordered dinner and paid online and drove to the store but they were closed. Please update you hours online so this doesn’t happen to other people. Very frustrating. I recommend calling the restaurant to make sure they’re open before placing online order

rjhnyc: Mofongo to die for!

Red Panda: Food delicious. Staff was overwhelmed but maintained their professionalism. Very busy Sundays.Get the tacos meal. Very good. My grandchild loved it.

Emilio Reyes: La comida muy cara y horrible el Arriazas crudo la papa rellena la carne se sentía dańda no los recomiendo

erin hope: This place is closed! My poor sister in law had her hopes up to eat some delicious Puerto Rican food after giving birth. I had to be the bearer of bad news after showing up at this location to find out it’s a pizzeria now! Not cool, not cool.

Amanda Page: Spanglish has closed. I drove by today and they was putting a new sign up that says Falls Cafe.

Len Sturdivant: I don't know... maybe they're getting ready to sell the spot. The guy behind the register clearly didn't want to be there. Not going back there.Food: 3/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 2/5 …More

Jasmine Person: Fast food service and lots of options. The empanadas are really good especially the beef and the buffalo chicken. My favorite of the menu is the San Juan to RDU but the southern gentlemen is a close runner up. For sandwiches you can't go wrong with the Cuban or the tripleta. If you can make it for brunch they do have several flavorful dishes. There are some bottled local beers available but no taps.Vegetarian options: There are several options on the menu with jackfruit instead of meat.Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free and vegetarian options that are delicious. I like the jackfruit sandwich

Frank Sirico Jr: I stumbled onto this place several months ago. It's a little hard to find parking during the lunch rush, but it's Sooo worth it!! I love the Spanglish Cuban!! That's my go to. The Slow-cooked pork, ham, pickles, mustard are so delicious.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Jacob Myers: The food is good but its so slow. Everytime i come here it takes at least 25 minutes to get my food but could be longer.

Jennifer Rodriguez: My sandwich was amazing! I wish I lived closer so that I could go more often!

Dani Barcellona: Great food, horrible service. Ordered pickup and had to wait over 25 minutes for the food. They had some of our food made, let it sit for 20 minutes before they made the rest. When we finally got the food, it was was wrong and they had to remake it. No offer to make it right for the long wait and then incorrect order. Since it was takeout, half the food was cold by the time we got it. Workers were rude and apathetic. Barely any options to chose from for a drink as the drink fridge was mainly empty.

Vanessa Cromartie: Fried chicken sandwich wirh fried egg and maple dijon sauce really good.Daughter had baja bacon cheddar and egg sandwich with avocado spread, also good.

Sergio Castro: The food is delicious... It is all well satisfied with the taste and the service. I recommend it 100%.

Morgan Crutchfield: Hard to make a salad outstanding but my buffalo chicken salad was a huge win. Super fresh and tasty, well proportioned, and dressed just right. A smidge pricey but honestly worth it. They could use some new furniture outside. Our wobbly table was an adventure

Elizabeth Welch: The food was delicious and reminded me of the Caribbean food I always had in Miami growing up! The Roasted Pear Salad was 😍!! The value of the high quality food that you get for the price is unbeatable. Amazing customer service is just the cherry on top. Can't wait to try more of their food!

Jason Talmadge: Prob the worst Cuban sandwich I’ve ever tried. The bread was a slightly larger grocery store hamburger bun that they “pressed” but no hiding how generic the bread was. A great sandwich is all about the bread along with some great flavor. This Cuban lacked both! Don’t waste your money. Friendly service.

John Leschak: Cool vibe, nice seating but the generator was so loud preventing 5 stars. Reasonable food truck pricing. we got chicken and beef empanadas and a potato ball. Great serving size and very tasty….2 empanadas made a meal. Sauce was all or large part Texas Pete, but worked well. I’ll be back.

Santiago Rivera: Las alcapurrias y rellenos de papas están a otro nivel, gracias!!

Arleen Barahona: No one greeted us. Order taken by a lil girl. Not sure if it's because it was a weekend but a few things my partner and I wanted to order they didn't have. We ended up ordering empanadas. They were extremely greasy. Gave a 3 star because the piña colada was on point and my partner was happy with the pernil empanada.

Elvin Arguezo: Excelente servicio comida súper buenos Rellenos de papas y empanadas saben como si estuviera en Puerto Rico gracias

Frank Martinez: Food is garbage!! Only good was the beers was cold!

Jill DeCandio: EXCELLENT! Great restaurant in 5 points area of Raleigh. Puerto Rican food with a modern twist by Chef Kevin Ruiz. Tapas style with small plates and larger entrees. TRY IT ALL! We started with cocktails. Turns out everyone ordered the Maui Mullet. With bourbon and pineapple. YUMMY! Local beers, wines, and non alcoholic beverages also available. For the table we tried a number of dishes. Some we so good we ordered multiples after we tried it! My least favorite were the empanadas out of everything we tried….really deep fried which overpowered the filling flavor. But everything else was OFF THE CHARTS GOOD. Tried the rice with peas, the Brussels sprouts, chicken thigh, ribeye cap, burr at a salad (multiples not because of the portion size, because everyone wanted it and then wanted more), chicken mofongo, charred octopus, the pork chop (OMG! It was Fred Flintstone size and absolutely delicious), and Weekend at Grandma’s for dessert. Sounds like a ton of food but we had 5 people and wanted to try a variety of things. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions for ordering in terms of selection and amounts. Chef Ruiz was in the kitchen and walked around and spoke to patrons. I’ll definitely eat here again…and again…and again!

Angie Sastoque Ardila: Atmosphere and food presentation was nice. Service was good, but slow. There was only one server for entire place. She was very nice tho. Food was decent. Apps were great, but main course was salty. Also, they dont have a veggie main courses :/ Price point is crazy tho, about $60 per person.Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Bob Grant: Food was tasty, a bit overpriced. Service was extremely lacking. Took almost 30 minutes to get our drinks. One of our orders still hadn't come over an hour after we ordered. Only one waiter for the whole restaurant. Kitchen seemed short-staffed.

EM S: Absolutely phenomenal! The atmosphere as if you are in Puerto Rico. The drinks are amazing. Rib eye cap delicious. Empanadas please try.......party in your mouth. Kudos to the Chef and staff.

Braulio Rivera: Definitely an experience to have! I totally recommend this to fellow foodies.

Morgan: Chef Kev literally never misses and the service/hostess is always amazing!!!! ♥️ so many reasons to keep coming back 🙌🏾

Marcela Suarez: We were looking for an authentic puerto rican place to eat and found Bendito, once we read their menu we were a little hesitant because mayority of their plates had a modern twist, but decided to try it anyways and oh boy... what a great experiencia, from their empanadas, papá rellena,arroz con gandules and their mifongo with pernil wich you can find only on Sunday's. Their mimosas with pineaple juice absolutely my favorite and let's talk about their desserts out of this world, we were lucky enough to meet the chef and owner of Bendito and what a great surprise to see so much talent in such of young person, by the way he was in the cook show Chop from food network.Thank you for your great service and the amazing food.

Luis Hernandez: Great food and service!

Jimmy Diaz: The food was Delicious and fresh. The waitress was nice and fast with my food ! I will recommend friends and family.

Bali Rose: My boyfriend took me to Bendito for my birthday. It was an amazing experience from start to finish! The staff was genuinely friendly and the food was outstanding!

Cordale Risk: I was so blown away by the amazing food and up front experience we received from Chef Kevin and his staff! The food was new to me and I loved every plate they brought. I even learned I had a yummy food dance.Get to this place ASAP!!

Chandni Kalaria: Amazing food, great ambiance. Brings the taste of Puerto Rico to Raleigh

Mark Williford: Excellent meal with friends. Everything was really good and cooked and seasoned perfectly. The entree portions are very generous. You should eat here!

Chip Little: I wish I could give this 0 stars. The food was "ok" but I don't eat much and a "3 person salad for $16" was barely enough for me. The waiter brought us food we didn't order and basically forced it on us...we accepted to calm the situation. There were 7 of us and they wouldn't split the bill or help in any way. Then when we paid we were complained at by the manager and the waiter on how the food bill + tip (we did 20% tip) was divided on our cards so the restaurant and the staff got their share. Horrible service, food was "ok" but way overpriced. I'll never go back.

Taylor Treadaway: Food was great, as was the service. Beef tartare was especially good.

Stephanie Ruggiro: First time eating at Bendito. I have been following them on Instagram since they’ve opened and happy I finally got to try it. Service was great, wasn’t too busy so our waiter was super attentive. Didn’t mention the wine special, which I had seen on Instagram.. but other than that service was great. Food came out super quick and you could tell everything was made fresh to order.We ordered 4 different items to try a little bit of everything. All four dishes were great and had a lot of flavor. Definitely homemade for that super authentic feel.Portion size was decent for two people to share. The only dish I thought was a little small was the skewer. I am not sure what I was expecting, but it was definitely on the smaller side.Restaurant was super clean and had a nice ambiance. Would definitely want to go back and try some of the main courses.Overall great experience and will be back.

Bray Reese: Food was amazing!!!!

Kim Johnson: Amazing experience! We sat at the bar. Ordered Pina Cojito & Vinho Verde. Both were fantastic. The steak tartare and the clams were out of this world. Jacob, the bartender, was very entertaining and knowledgeable & made fantastic drinks. Kevin, the owner, was amazing. He is also the executive chef. Kevin chatted with us, asked about our food preference and allergies, and made sure our order was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Bendito! Only wish we had discovered it sooner. Delightful, delicious, and gastronomicly incredible experience.

L i v i a: No where closed to any kind of Puerto Rican food. With the poor excuse that they cook "modern Puerto Rican food", their food was Over priced, Uncooked rice and over cooked chicken. Food took a long time to come out, at room temperature and not fresh. Staff was polite.Right across the street you will find Mami Nora's latin restaurant. Inexpensive, always fresh, delicious rotisserie chicken, white rice and beans and my favorite, sweet plantains. Try them, you will not be disappointed.

Kätiana Mayer: This was a great experience! The hostess was nice and we were seated quickly and efficiently. Our server (Matt, I think his name was) was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about all of the menu items and attentive. The cuisine is Puerto Rican, bursting with unique flavors and creative plating and presentation. Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to enjoy something different.
