    Rare cowboy ribeye 2.5lb
    Clarence A.

    I don't know if this is a chain, I don't know if I care if it is a chain, the cowboy ribeye 2.5lb, the risotto, the lechon 1lb, the longaniza de pollo and the mini beef empanadilla where all delicious We took everything togo since we had 2 kids a 1yr old and a 6yr old, you know how you can tell the food is good, if it is still good after 30min drive the reheated then the food is really good. The trek to get here was long ride, allot of winding roads, low hanging trees, almost 1 lane roads. Well worth the drive, you pass several small bars, side vendors, and homes The parking lot is huge, made specifically for their patrons, wide open restaurant no windows, huge sphere like bbq pit, stainless steel like bars that hold the meat, the smoke taste comes from the meat being placed on the stainless steel bars then covered with large metal mixing spheres to fuse the smoke into the meat Here is what we sampled, the risotto with lechon- cheesy, heavy, lechon minus the skin was juicy and delicious, if you like mac n cheese this is like that but on crack and with meat The longaniza de pollo - sausage like dish where the chicken is wrapped in sausage skin then smoked, slightly spicy, peppery, chewy, super filler don't have to many The lechon asao - huge chunks of roasted pork, only a little skin I want to say maybe a fingernail of the skin, everything else was meat, the pork was juicy, smoked, tender not dry, sadly more skin would have been a plus The beef empanada's 6 total, super deep fried, still light, bit airy but very flavorful, paired with a sweet type ketchup sauce The cowboy ribeye 2.5lb - talk about overkill, ordered this bad boy rare, simply because ordering med-rare then driving 30min out would have ruined the taste, after 30min travel time, cut and reheated the steak in its true form sit in the oven for 5 min the rest for 15min then cut into that meat beautiful rare which is now med-rare, did the taste make the grade? HELL F YEAH!!!!The charred sides of the meat was heaven!! Jesus best meal so far I've had in Puerto Rico!! Definitely recommend this place to anyone that visits PR While we waited for our order we ordered some mojitos an original and passion flavor, ohh they were strong, for a small glass they packed a punch, the staff gave us a sample of there deep fried cheese balls, dipping sauce of thousand islands offered made the cheese balls even better, not that they needed help Food ***** steak is delicious they charge by pound, lechon is juicy and smoked, ask for that crunchy skin Price $$$ Service ***** very helpfulstaff Ambiance ***** outside, spacious, smoky smells everywhere

    Side order of blood sausages.

    Best barbecue in Puerto Rico. They actually did win the Cattlemen's BBQ competition on the island in February. Being a barbecue fanatic and having eaten a lot of different cue, I thought I'd see how good they were. They're the real thing, great tasting ribs and brisket, good chicken, and even a good cowboy steak. I tried it all, all the different meats they had to offer. All of them were good but the ribs were the best. However, in addition to the barbecue, they have some of the best risotto that I've had. Who would have thought, risotto at a barbecue joint, but it's amongst the best that I've had.

    The hike to the mountainous center of the Island is part of the pilgrimage to BBQ heaven. Awesome flavors in what has to be a perfect menu offering: the best of American BBQ w ribs, cowboy steak, prime rib, brisket, baked beans, cole slaw, combined with the best of portorrican comfort food cuisine, lechon asao (organically-fed), churrasco, pollo asao, mofongo, tostones, arroz con gandules. Had the cowboy steak and tried the smoked BBQ ribs. It was sensationally delicious. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back. This is home to several award winning Cattlemen's BBQ Competition

    The food is pretty good but I recommend not to go on holidays or days where you just think it's gone be busy. We waited 35-45 min for a table and 1.5 hr to get our food. Not worth it. We bill give it a try next time we are on the island. Only because my husband loves the meat...my son loved the rips...so if you think to get out there make sure it's not too busy and you have to wait so long...

    If you want to try something out of this world please please try the lechón con cuerito Risotto OmG is soooooo good. I always order the same thing when I am here and wow they haven't let me down. The lechón con cuerito risotto has cheese the risotto pork meat and a big chunk of cuerito make sure you tell them to put the cuerito. I couldn't stopped thinking about the risotto from here that is how amazingly good it was. The place is awesome they have live music on the weekends they have drinks. The place is very casual like outdoors we went after the beach. It can get really really crowded but is worth the wait believe me.....

    1/2 Fogón Asao
    Humberto R.

    Great surprise. Ordered the 1/2 sampler called the 1/2 Fogón Asao that includes 1/2 lb of roasted chicken, ribs and pork with arroz apastelado and mofongo balls. It was delicious. For dessert we had the Nutella chocolate cake, also delicious. We'll be back for sure. The service was superb.

    Great ambiance in a crowded place. Very different from typical puerto rican place. Try the chicken guava risotto (sticky rice)!

    Thursday night. Place is packed. Friends brought us here. Had a bowl of wings, a bowl of shrimp and…read moresopa de plátanos. DJ played great energizing music. Come here for a fun and inexpensive time with a bunch of friends and family. P.s, have the flan!!!

    Im really disappointed in this place because the first time I came it was an amazing service,…read morewaiter was funny and a great server. It was extremely busy but a very fun and family like environment. Very nice ambience, food was great but this experience... you would experience in a fast food place not here. For one we got there it was completely empty due to COVID-19 but we entered anyways since we were familiar with them. The server greeted us immediately which was good but throughout the night she barely checked on us. We had to wave her down a couple of times. I even had to walk to her to discuss the bill because our food took FOREVER for a place that was empty. We got our food 45 min after we ordered... which is ridiculous when it's empty.. I would understand if it were to be a regular busy night in this place which I know how it gets but no that wasn't the case. Plus to make matters worst, the food was extremely cold. I didn't even eat mine. Took one bite and threw it out. When I tried to ask for an accommodation, the waiter said that had nothing to do with her... and shrugged it off. (I worked as a server for 4 years and bartender for 3) that's unacceptable to say. Plus the bartender had the AUDACITY to tell me that there's no manager on the premises that they left and there's nothing to do with a very rude attitude... our bill was $90 and it wasn't even worth it. Plus they started throwing middle fingers at us when I started yelling because of how rude they were acting when I spoke to them very calm and respectful. There was no reason for them to be that rude. Estoy realmente decepcionada de este lugar porque la primera vez que vine fue un servicio increíble, la mesera era divertida y un gran servidora. Estaba extremadamente ocupado pero era un ambiente muy divertido y familiar. Muy buen ambiente, la comida era excelente, pero esta experiencia ... la experimentarías en un lugar de fast-food como McDonald no aquí. Por un lado, llegamos allí, estaba completamente vacío debido a COVID-19, pero ingresamos de todos modos ya que estábamos familiarizados con ellos. La mesera nos saludó de inmediato, lo cual fue bueno, pero durante toda la noche apenas se registró en nosotros. Tuvimos que agitarla un par de veces. Incluso tuve que caminar hacia ella para hablar sobre la factura porque nuestra comida llegó bien tarde para un lugar que estaba vacío. Obtuvimos nuestra comida 45 minutos después de haber ordenado ... lo cual es ridículo cuando está vacío ... Lo entendería si fuera una noche concurrida en este lugar, sé cómo se pone, pero no, ese no fue el caso. Además, para empeorar las cosas, la comida estaba extremadamente fría. Ni siquiera comí el mío. Tome un bocado y lo tire. Cuando traté de pedir un descuento por lo sucedido , el camarero dijo que no tenía nada que ver con ella ... y se encogió de hombros. (Trabajé como servidor durante 4 años y cantinero durante 3) es inaceptable decirlo. Además, el cantinero tuvo ACTITUD para decirme que no había un gerente en las instalaciones que dejaron y no hay nada que ver con una actitud muy grosera ... nuestra factura era de $ 90 y ni siquiera valía la pena. Además, comenzaron a tirarnos los dedos del medio cuando comencé a gritar por lo grosero que actuaban cuando les hablé con mucha calma y respeto. No había razón para que fueran tan groseros.
