    It was pouring rain when I went but I took it as a blessing and with gratitude as I was the only one at the restaurant. It was peaceful to listen to the rain and enjoying the delicious food. I ordered the mahi mahi stuffed avocado with a side of salad and plantains. The giant avocado was delicious with the mahi mahi. Service was great. Friendly staff.

    Food was great! Service was a little slow, but they were very busy. Kids food came out quite a bit earlier than the adults. But everything was so great, would definitely return!

    Nice setting with dining among trees -- if we had come before dar we should have been able to see El Yunque. When staff came to ask us about seating, she told us to try to get our order in before the large bachelorette party that just got seated. Menu isnt long so we got our order ready as soon as we were seated. A different staff took our order after a few more minutes. Our orders came surprisingly quickly. I ordered ceviche stuffed avocado (fish ceviche), husband got fish tacos, one kid got 2 topped plantains, other kid got bungaru fries (loaded with chicken, pico, etc). All were good.

    After a stunning morning spent exploring the El Yunque rainforest, I stopped by this gem for some Puerto Rican cuisine for lunch, and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious. The service was quick, possibly because there was only one other table occupied, but it was much appreciated. For appetizer, started with the empanadas, which came out fresh and hot--really tasty! For the entrees, I had the stuffed avocado with shrimp, and the fish tacos. The avocado was huge and fresh, the shrimp was cooked well and it came with a side of tostones and salad. The tacos were great as well, the mahi mahi was cooked well and the toppings were fresh and brought the tacos together. The restaurant has a rustic, laid-back vibe and perfectly blends in with the tropical costal vibes of the island. It would be nice to dine here for dinner under the fairy lights. Parking is either available on the streets or there is a small parking lot a 5 minute walk away.

    Rooftop dining area and bar with a nice view of el yunque. Great post hike lunch stop. A place I'd go back to. Not as slow as some other places we've been to. Everything was good, the croquettes stood out.

    Hummus avocado salad with no onions. I hate them, and had no problems with my special order.

    Beautiful upstairs with a view. My wife and I had the hummus avocado salad. Delicious! I don't know how I never thought to combine hummus and avocado as a vegan. My little meat eater had the steak quesadilla, and that picky kid eater loved it! My older son had the stuffed avocado ceviche which he loved. Highly recommended! Also, great diverse beers, which as a beer snob, I loved!

    Crab arepa and chicken empanada (half sizes for each)

    The service was really fast. We got seated right away. The location is a rooftop bar which has a beautiful view of the rainforest. The crab arepas and chicken empanadas were amazing. The ceviche was my favorite. I believe it was cod. I could be wrong but it was my favorite meal. Definitely check this place out if you want a nice drink and a meal with music.

    The place has a great vibe for drinks and socializing, but if you're coming here for a proper meal, be prepared to leave hungry. The food portions are very small -- definitely not ideal if you're actually looking to eat. The menu included stuffed arepas, but they weren't made in the traditional way or tasted anything like arepas, They tasted more like empanadillas stuffed with your choice of sea food or meet, rather than authentic arepas, which was a letdown. We ordered the Spicy Carb (was not spicy at all and had an Asian/sushi taste/vibe as they used I think what it is soy sauce?) and we ordered the Mahi Mahi arepa and barely had ANY Mahi Mahi, it was more veggies which was disappointing since you are paying for the fish. I'd recommend it more as a bar for fun and conversation than as a restaurant. Nice atmosphere and great caring customer service, but not the spot for dinner.

    Cannot recommend this place enough. Some of the best tacos I have ever had! Get the mahi mahi and steak! Service was a bit slow but no complaints - they were busy. Ambiance is like sitting directly in the rainforest. You cannot beat it. A must!

    First time at Bungalu and was impressed! Started off with drinks that were delicious and well worth their money (I recommend a parcha margarita). The food was delicious and speedy to come to the table. The prices are great for the value and the service is extremely kind and attentive. Jacob's service was amazing - I didn't have to ask for things, he payed attention and brought it to me before I had to ask. We ordered the chicken topped tostones and they were amazing - highly recommend!! (I wasn't able to take a picture, they were too good, I couldn't resist). The atmosphere was great, very appealing with good music choice! Will be coming again - great eats and vibes 10/10

    I honestly forgot the name of the dishes. lobster tacos . Drinks were amazing.

    Perfect spot for great food good drinks and non touristy vibe! We literally found this restaurant by accident but I'm really happy that we did .

    Loved the atmosphere! Great rooftop view of the mountains, our bartender/server was quick and very friendly, and the drinks were affordable and delicious.

    This place was such a find! Located in the low key area of Palmer, it has a relaxed feel and effortless charm. We ate there on a Tuesday evening a bit later, and were the only table there, so of course the service was great! We ordered Lobster and Conch empanadas to start with. They were both delicious! I preferred the lobster one the most. My husband tried the surf and turf tacos and tried the steak tacos for our mains. They were both amazing!! Even the tortillas are crazy delicious!! We were too full for dessert. Here is the surprise, it was all very affordable! Probably the best meal we have had in PR! Love this place!

    The steak and Mahi was delicious and we would have ordered more but we wanted room for our stuffed avocado.

    THIS IS IT. IF you want to know what is it, it's this!…read more This food truck on the river has the FRESHEST food in HUGE portions made with so much love, and it's the perfect meal after seeing El Yunque's Angelito trail, TACOS We had the fish & chicken tacos that are topped with a magical fresh fruit salsa. Crispy fresh fish or chicken on toasted tortillas. MOFONGO A massive portion of Creamy and garlicky plantains smashed and topped with protein and that fruit salsa. We took 2/3 of it to go because their was so much! SIDES Coconut Rice - sweet and flavored with peppers and red onion with a toothsome chew that brings you back for more. Amarillos - a huge amount of sweet and ripe plantains with buttery crispy edges Tostones - perfectly fried plantains piping hot seconds from cook to table DRINKS The smoothies were topped with whipped cream and cherry with a little umbrella which was a nice touch, and the coconut smoothie was the FRESHEST flavor I had in 5 days on the island; it scratched the itch I had for fresh coconut on my trip. We were accompanied by friends who live here and said this was some of the best food they had as well. 5 Stars for sure!

    We were hungry after touring El Yunque and found this local tourist spot. I am not big on big…read moretourist traps but since it was technically "linner" we decided to give it a try. Restaurant is big with indoor and outdoor seating with a Tiki bar across from the restaurant. We chose to sit inside for the cool air. Our server was very nice but not very attentive. We started off with the pina coladas and some agua and it took her about 15 min to come back with our drinks and she also gave us Perrier water of which we did not order (she looked confused). We ordered the alcapurria with ground beef. They were tasty and crispy. I ordered the mofongo rellenos con pollo and it was tasty as well and a decently sized portion. BFF ordered the mofongo rellenos con carne frita (fried pork) & his plato was bigger and he said it was ok. He also ordered a side of rice (they didn't have arroz con gandules) and it had day old stewed habichuelas so it was nice and moist. Overall, it was ok. I think had it not been for the lack of service I would have rated this place four stars. We also ordered a couple of pina coladas and we had to ask our server if she placed the order correctly as we could not taste the rum at all (she claimed she got that complaint often and it was probably blended in).

    We really enjoyed ourselves at this restaurant after our four wheel excursion. The food was fresh…read moreand prepared well. It's expensive though! The server was friendly and knowledgeable. We sat outside near the bar area and it was nice! Our bill for 4 people was $118
