The best authentic Puerto Rican restaurant in SWFL. Food: Absolutely divine. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We ordered bacalaitos (scrumptious), alcapurrias, mofongo dinner and the pork chop dinner. To my delight, a coconut popsicle (limber) to end the night that brought me back to my childhood. Drinks: delicious house Malbec and Cuba libres made by the owner himself. Service: Gianna made you feel right at home. She provided excellent service. Atmosphere: Classic salsa music playing that makes you dance in your seat. Domino tables make for an excellent dining table especially when accompanied by actual dominoes. Great way to begin dinner and sip cocktails while waiting for food. CJ’s is an absolute must. Thank you to this wife/husband duo for bringing el Boriquen to SWFL!

We had a wonderful dinner at CJ’s! The owner and waitstaff are so nice and welcoming, and the food was a true labor of love! The pastelillos were so flavorful, my favorite were the pionono and the shrimp, the chicken and beef were also delicious! I also loved having dominos on the table to play and the salsa music playing created a fun and upbeat atmosphere!

CJ’s is absolutely the best! Great authentic Puerto Rican Food, genuinely great service and atmosphere, and super clean and tidy.

The vibe is just right and on point all the way from having Dominos on the table to play with while waiting for food all the way down to the music and decor. Highly recommend. Easy location also in North Naples, right across from the Germain Toyota dealership.

Definitely try some fried cheese and Guava sauce for your appetizers.

I wanted to support a local, small, Hispanic owned Puerto Rican restaurant in Naples, but the experience was disappointing. When I offered constructive feedback, the owner became defensive and started mansplaining ingredient counts, even pointing to a tile and saying it cost $40 per square foot. It came across as awkward and off putting.

I ordered the CJ’s Picadera sampler with alcapurrias, rellenos de papa, sorullos, jibaritos, and chicharrón de cerdo, and added the mofongo bites. The best item was the rellenos de papa. They had great flavor, I will give them that, but if that is the normal size for $7, it is not worth it. The alcapurrias were about the size of a cigar, and I was not impressed. The jibaritos had a plain ground beef patty lacking in flavor instead of seasoned steak, and the pork chunks lacked seasoning.

I also ordered a $7 side of rice. The portion was insulting for its price and it had no flavor, tasting like tomato sauce. Pasteles are preorder only at $60 per dozen, or $7 each if you want a single one. Charging $60 for a dozen is outrageous and insulting.

I want local Hispanic owned businesses to succeed. As a foodie and someone with knowledge of the restaurant and catering industry, I understand the challenges of running a business, but pricing and execution still have to make sense for the community. If they want locals to support them, they may want to reevaluate their approach. Otherwise, they would be best off sticking to seasonal or tourist based sales.

Today was not a good day based on our service and food. We were told at the end that several of the staff called out. So only two employees and they had to turn away customers. Due to the wait, we opted to take our food to go. Based on all the wonderful reviews.
I should’ve checked our bag. Missing half of our order. No Bacailitos. Only 3 of the 4 for $20 Pastelillos. Only 1 vs appetizer version of the Alcapurria.
The Alcapurria was more air than filling. Also, very stale in taste.
The Pastelillos .. 2 of them ordered were beef and cheese. Missing the cheese. The filling tasted more like Marinara vs the home made sofrito as advertised.
The 1 Pastelillo of pernil was okay.
The chicharron appetizer didn’t come with any sauce or anything to compliment it.
An hour spent there and very disappointing.
They’re very nice though.

CJs is amazing REAL AUTHENTIC Puerto Rican food, they are so sweet and treat you so good. the food is a 100/10. we got 4 pastelillos and they are the best in naples hands down. The piña colada tastes straight from puerto rico. The owner is a very nice guy very attentive to his customers, always checking up. and even give you dominos to play while you wait. 10/10 recommend! Naples definitely needed a place like this!

Glad we found this place. Came in and was quickly greeted. The owner came over to go over the menu and made some recommendations. Food came out fast and fresh. The fried cod patties are amazing! Super flavorful and crispy. We also found out they just open only 3 weeks ago. Definitely deserve all the future business they have coming to them. Food is absolutely worth a try!
