The name is EL MAKITO. And what a find! A delicious seafood eatery with a festive atmosphere…read morelocated right at the waters' edge. Spectacular views of sea and tree covered mountains from the balcony. We enjoyed arepas coco, empanadas, creole shrimp with plantains, shrimp with garlic and rice and beans. No hot beverages. But they helped with hot water and milk for a cup of Sanka decaf I brought with me. I never had arepas- it's basically fried sweet bread. I had a taste and it was dangerously too good for me. I could eat 10 of them if I am not careful! Yikes. Very amazing taste. The empanadas were flakey and filled with ground beef and the other shredded chicken. Outstanding seasoning and not oily at all. We both enjoyed our shrimp dishes and sides. The seafood was fresh and prepared perfectly!! The rice is always cooked so well in a PR eatery. The service and staff were friendly and efficient. They don't split bills, FYI. There are other similar seafood places on that main drag but this unobstructed view is the sea was just the icing on the cake. Fabulous experience all the way around.

Waited a while to even get seated, no one ever acknowledged us for 10 minutes until my father went…read morein to ask if anyone was being seated, after that, it was 5 minutes before we finally got seated in a table that was directly in the path of the A/C which meant whatever we ordered would get cold fast. Not that it mattered because we sat there for 15 minutes with no one coming to even ask if we wanted drinks. Finally left without ordering. Really bad first impression.

I discovered this beautiful restaurant just one day before leaving Puerto Rico, and I'm so grateful…read moreI did. The food was some of the best I've ever tasted, and the entire experience was unforgettable. From the beautiful sounds of the coquí in the background to the stunning structure and ambiance of the restaurant, everything felt truly special. I had the pleasure of enjoying the experience with my very handsome husband, and I couldn't have asked for a better moment. The women who served us were kind, patient, and welcoming, and the restaurant was beautifully lit, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. Every dish we ordered was exceptional. My husband, being as kind and supportive as he is, always lets me order everything my eyes desire, even when he knows I'll never be able to finish it all. I love that I get to enjoy every bite to my heart's content--and sharing those moments with him makes the experience even more meaningful. Great food, a beautiful setting, and an even better partner made this one of the most memorable dining experiences of my trip to Puerto Rico. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner!

I had high hopes for Bacoa Finca; but ultimately, the experience and the food fell short, rolled…read moredown the mountains of Juncos, and left us with terrible stomach aches. For drinks we got El Huracan. Excellent drink. Never had one like it. Starters: "sorrullitos de maiz" (corn and Parmesan fritters) and Carne ahumada al guarapo (smoked pork with tostones). The sauces were mixed up when served, so we got a mayo ketchup sauce with the corn fritters and the smoked sauce with the pork. Once we figured that out, the apps tasted excellent. The smoked aioli really took the fritters to another level. The pork had a nice salty/smokiness as well and the tostones were just alright (not crispy like the ones we make at home) but a good base for the juicy pork. For our mains: this is when the experience and quality fell to quite low depths. The "Pesca Fresca al buren" was good. One side was cooked perfectly, tender, and the cilantro topping was delightful and citrusy. But the other side of it was overcooked and dry. It came with coconut rice. But if you didn't tell me it had coconut, I'd think it was just plain white rice with concon (crispy rice)...that's how burnt the coconut flakes were and how bland the rice was overall. We also got the Arroz del dia - which was a rice with rabbit. This was awful. There were large chunks of rabbit in the rice with bone. The rabbit wasn't cut well because there were bone fragments throughout the rice. This was just a horrible textural experience. On top of that, the rabbit was dry and gamey. Despite it being marinated in wine, the gaminess was way too overpowering. We speak Spanish and the waitress asked us if we liked the dish. We said "no." She didn't press for more info, but asked if we wanted to wrap it up to-go...we politely declined. Now for dessert, we were so excited to try the "Budin de pan." When I tell you this too was such a let down. The ice cream came almost completely melted and the bread pudding was eggy...I don't know if this was just an off night. But we also left the bread pudding basically as it arrived. Again, the waitress noticed this and asked if we wanted to purchase something else....strange service. Overall, the quality is not consistent with the reviews I've read. Given the long drive, the higher price points, the lackluster execution of the dishes, and the horrible stomach aches we had, I wouldn't recommend visiting. There are better options in terms of value, quality, and service in Puerto Rico.

"Me: Piña Coladas in the rainforest? Puerto Rico: We got that!"…read more After an amazing day of driving through and exploring the El Yunque National Forest with my girlfriend we saw this place on the side of the road on our way out and I told my girlfriend, Stooop! After I saw the piña colada sign. LMAO at her reaction :D Bro, I swear I can't get enough of them while I am on a tropical island. Anyways. They were closing so she ran up and grabbed me one to go and we shared it on our drive back to Condado. Was it great? No! Was it good? Yes! This is just one of those tourist trap places that sell things that people will buy. TBH: It looked like a cool little spot to chill after a hike plus my gf said the guy who waited on her gave us a hefty pour of rum. Much love to that guy for treating his customers right. If you're up in the rainforest make sure to stop by here for some drinks or a bite to eat. I am sure you'll love the vibes :) Disfrutar!

Seating here on this roadside eatery on the way home from El Yunque is quite crammed. The place is…read morenot super clean. And I squirmed a little when they said everything on their display window "had" to be fried (why???). That said, the service was prompt and polite (if not a bit dispassionate). The chicken shish kebab fresh off the grill was incredible and deserves 5 stars. The tacos were just OK. I felt they were too heavy being double-fried. Overall this isn't a bad choice if you're hungry on the ride home from El Yunque and want to grab a snack.
