From there we got two of their desayuno platters, priced at $14 each on the menu. $14 for three eggs, some potato's, bread, and sliced sandwich ham seems a bit steep to me when you think about how much the plate costs to prepare. I was asked if I wanted veggies in my eggs, and fruit/Nutella on my French toast. It was good, but it would have been nice to know before the check came that it was an additional cost for the upgrades. Do I recommend this place...sure, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

A Hidden Gem That Took My Breath Away!…read more Let me tell you -- I have eaten at some incredible places around the world, but THIS spot? It's on another level! From the very first spoonful of their Asopado de Gandules (pigeon peas soup with rice), my taste buds threw a full-blown fiesta! Every bite was like a warm Caribbean hug -- rich, comforting, and bursting with flavor that only true island soul food can deliver. And then... the tostones made from pana (breadfruit). OH. MY. GOODNESS. Crispy, golden perfection on the outside, soft and savory on the inside -- it was pure magic. Whoever thought to make tostones from pana deserves a culinary crown . The service? Flawless. Friendly smiles, genuine warmth, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family. And the view -- breathtaking! Imagine savoring these unforgettable flavors while surrounded by tropical beauty that looks straight out of a postcard. This place isn't just a restaurant -- it's an experience. Food for the soul, joy for the heart, and a memory I'll be talking about for years.

Normally, I don't mind waiting for my food but I don't expect to wait 15 minutes before I am even acknowledged which is what happened. After my order was taken, I waited another 25 minutes for my food to arrive. The food was very good. The eggs were perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. The coffee was also very good as was the fresh passion fruit juice that I ordered. Despite the long wait, I recommend this place because the food was worth it -- after all this is why I try new restaurants.

Went by on a weekday for a tour of the coffee plantation. This was worth every moment!! We were…read moredriving from Rincon to San Juan and decided to take this detour to explore another facet of Puerto Rico. We arrived just in time for their 10am tour (call ahead and check availability, it's $20 per person). Our tour guide was fantastic! The coffee estate, the buildings, the little canal, and the stream with the waterfall they take you to are breathtaking. I would definitely come back and spend the night here. The place also works as a wedding venue (there's a chapel on site). At the end of the tour you can buy some coffee (probably some of the best cappuccino I've had on the island thus far). The tour took about 1-1.5 hours. Worth every dollar. It's so serene. Everything is constructed from natural materials. There are peacocks roaming around. The air is fresh. The water pristine. I loved it. Although the drive up the mountain is a little tricky (drivers are also a little crazy) and we did get a bit lost (GPS for some reason can't find the place), we called the hacienda and asked for directions which worked well. There are also signs along the road. Don't let this out you off though - it's all part of the adventure!

Maybe it's the constant stress Puerto Rico seems to be under, but the staff was very dismissive of our greeting and attempt at small talk.
