AFTER ALMOST 12 YEARS… J28 CLOSED IN HOLLYWOOD FL ON JUNE 1ST 2025.
We opened back in 2014 with just 3 sandwiches on the menu—and a big dream. Today, that dream became a full menu of sandwiches, bowls, salads, empanadas, and of course, our famous Chicharrón Sandwich that was featured on the Food Network. But none of that would’ve mattered without you.
Through hurricanes, COVID, and every challenge in between, you stood by us. We’re beyond proud—not just of our food and service—but of the people who made it all possible. To every single employee who gave their heart to this place, thank you. We did this together.
To our customers, friends, and loyal supporters—you made this ride unforgettable. Every visit, every kind word, every bite you shared with us… that’s what kept us going.
And to our families—those who were there on Day 1, and those here with us on this final day—your love and support through the tough days and the best memories will forever live in our hearts.
This isn’t just the end of J28. It’s the celebration of everything we built together so far…. see you soon for J28 2.0.
With endless gratitude,
Javier & Marco Rondon
