Grand Opening

Where to find Puerto Rican food in Pensacola has been long awaited, but the wait is finally over! The owners of the popular food truck, Joe's Caribe, have opened a take-out restaurant at 1350 S. Blue Angel Parkway. Their grand opening was held on Thursday, September 14. Business hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Founders, Jose and Jessica Perez, are proud Newyoricans (Puerto Ricans who grew up in New York). They moved to Pensacola in 2015 with their children Malik, Trinity and Aliyah. The Perezes'

saw the desire for Puerto Rican food in the Florida Panhandle, and they created a solution. Joe's Caribe food truck was founded in 2016, which has been seen all around Pensacola and a favorite at local food truck events. A combination of Joes' passion for cooking Latino-inspired dishes and Jessica's business savvy has created the perfect recipe for a growing business. The menu includes Caribean favorites like mofongo, jerk chicken, empanadas, Cuban sandwiches and pernil with menu items ranging from $3 to $16. Joe's

Caribe is as much an admired Latino-owned business in the Gulf Coast community as they are committed to serving its people.
