    Mesas exterior

    Jueves 12 de septiembre de 2024 bajando de Manatí por la carretera # 2 llegamos hasta Vega Baja buscando un lugar para almorzar y llegamos aquí. Llegamos al local buscado donde uno viene a almorzar en un ambiente tranquilo. Había varios especiales de almuerzo y también puedes pedir a la carta. Todo salió muy bueno y servicio fue excelente. Comida estuvo muy bien y el ambiente tranquilo. Según leí está en Aniversario # 10 en hora buena.

    Doradoin Mango sauce with Sweet Plantains

    Today our food choice made the meal better. However, the service is extremely slow. The Mofongo had a nice taste, but was a little too tough and over cooked. The garlic shrimp was very good as well as the tostones. The sodas were flat and no refill was offered. It seems to be a hit or miss with this place.

    Coconut Mojito

    Me and my family came here one evening after a day of exploring the coast. We started with the calamari which came out fresh and was so good. We also ordered coconut Mojito's which was the best thing we had here. We got salmon and mahi-mahi with fruit sauces on top and a side of rice and beans. The beans where outstanding and well flavored. The only issue was that they were out of most of the sea food on the menu. I'm not sure if it was because it was late at night or they just had a shortage but that was slightly disappointing since we had come for sea food specifically. Over all though the place was cute, the servers where nice, and the drinks where very good. Definitely a good stop on your way in or out of San Juan.

    My first time there the drinks were great as well as the dessert and service, however our man entree wasn't the best it would recommend the fish tacos better. The ambiance was divine, i would go again.

    Delicious food. The sirloin tips were amazing. The ambience outside was nice enough - though being next to a busy road is not ideal.

    The food is delicious! Staff was very helpful in explaining their traditional dishes as we didn't know much Spanish.

    Omggg this place is so good. Our Puerto Rican guide took us here to eat and the food is super…read moreauthentic casual puerto rican food and so delicious. Service is fast and it's a nice family owned place. If you wanna skip the tourist crap and try real food come here!!

    Food was very good. The pork belly ( lechón con cuerito) melted in your mouth literally. And the…read moreskin was hard and crunchy like it's supposed to be. The seasoning on the meat was exact. True Puerto Rican cooking. I ordered some rice and pigeon peas (gandules) with the pork belly, some alcapurrias ( fried plantain fritters stuffed with meat) and a side order of carne frita ( fried cube sliced pieces of pork) with a malta ( non alcoholic Puerto Rican drink made with barley and sugar). Amazing!! The service was fast and staff was very friendly. The place came highly recommended on numerous social media platforms and didn't disappoint. The music in the background was perfect as it added to the overall ambiance. Great local authentic spot that not only caters to locals but welcomes tourists. They have a bar also. Right on the side of the main road right off the highway. Everyone seemed to be having a good time eating, chilling and living the good life. A definite must stop if you are visiting Puerto Rico or just looking for a good authentic Puerto Rican place to eat. Well worth the hype!!
