"Stop for Dessert The customary dessert of Puerto Rico , the brazo gitano (gypsy arm), can be found at Franco's in Mayaguez. This place has been around for generations, preparing the rolls for local markets and grocers and also for their own store. The cake is rolled intoa log shape and then pumped with a filling. This one is a zanahoria (carrot) cake with a cream cheese filling. You can find many types of rolls, with all sorts of fillings. The traditional ones contain fruit jams. When in Mayaguez, be sure to stop here for this delicious roll."

So I saw what appeared to be a delicious role cake with jelly filling on a television show and decided to have it shipped to me from Puerto Rico to florida. I was going to complain about the cake being kind of dry and definitely not worth the extra cost associated with shipping. Thinking about it, I realized that what could I possibly expect from a cake that was made 5-7 days ago, put in a box, transfered to the post office then placed in a plane, crossed a body of water, then driven to my house. So even with this cake going through that much of an ordeal it wasn't terrible and the filling was nice. I can just imagine how delicious this cake would have been if I visited the bakery on my next trip to Puerto Rico and gotten a fresh one made that day. Unless you pay for next day shipping, I believe it will not be the true representation of what appears to be a delicious Puerto Rican favorite.

My experience was good but the brazo gitano coco/pina and cream had mold and I live in Orlando and I went to Puerto Rico for vacation and I don’t live there so I can’t go back to get my money and I just saw in the reviews that I am not the only person that this has happened to

Bought the jelly rolls as gift to bring back to New Mexico as I am from Mayagüez and bragging about the products from my city. But was embarrassed when all six gifts had mold when I asked my friends how they liked them. Can get refund since I am back in the states. Fotos are from the 2 rolls we kept for us. .

The food was delicious (We had the Special of the day). No wonder it's rated so high. We would buy more,but our suitcase is overpacked 🤣

Nice place to stop for locally made items, treats and a meal. There are tables and a diner type counter. Street side parking. This is located in a unique and historic area.

This is one of my favorite place to go because the experience and all the little details they have it's really rich in culture... it's a five stars Worthy
