RICE N BEANS – Mexican
Puerto Rican full-service restaurant on Wesley Chapel Boulevard, built to let guests experience the traditions of Puerto Rico in a familiar, cultural atmosphere rooted in family recipes passed down through generations. Mofongo, tostones, and plantain-forward plates run beside seafood and meat mains, with signature cocktails like the Boricua Spritz and Coqui Refresher, live band nights, private parties, and catering behind. Closed Mondays, open late Fridays and Saturdays. It suits Pasco County's Boricua community, mofongo loyalists, celebration tables with a band, and diners who take their rice and beans as heritage.
