If you have time to kill (I mean, absolutely no where to be for the rest of your day) and would like to enjoy a beautiful view of central PR, Casaju is a must stop. Unfortunately for my husband and I, we had a place to be and didn't plan on losing 3 hours of our day to Casaju. We were stuck at Casaju for so long, I got a sunburn... in the shade. I wish I was kidding. We waited about fifteen minutes for a table, and then were escorted by a very friendly manager to our table. The wait for service was proper Island time and was to be expected... but after the wait of almost TWO HOURS after ordering to get our food, Casaju put island time to shame. During our wait, my husband realized that he hadn't seen our waitress in quite some time. So long was our wait that I wondered if she went home and the restaurant forgot to make sure we got our ordered food. We didn't want to be those idiot Americans who complained about the Island time wait (we all have seen those reviews), so we sat and smiled and waited... and waited... and waited. Finally, our waitress reappeared and brought our food. At this point, I had gone beyond hungry, hangry, and then starving, and had now reached a full blown loss of appetite. Typically, when food is SO late to arrive, you would anticipate that it is freshly cooked due to a delayed kitchen trying to catch up... our plates were burning hot, like they had been sitting under a warmer for the last hour. Yikes. The ribs I ordered were very good, but pretty fatty and oddly missing the bones- my sour stomach could only handle three ribs before I had to tap out. The rice and beans that I ordered on the side were the worst I had in PR. Two wild dogs joined us on the patio, keeping us all company as we waited another thirty minutes for the check. We left running to the car, very sad to have lost the day to a mediocre meal... but I was even more sad to realize that I had been sitting in the shade for so long that the indirect Puerto Rican sun had burnt my entire body to a bright red crisp. This is a spot to skip. read more

One word...AMAZING!!! Great food, great views, great vibe, great atmosphere. Try the Pachuca Relleno. read more

Loved it here! We stopped on our way back to San Juan from Yabucoa. The restaurant is on a steep hill, but there is a parking lot, which is awesome. Our waitress spoke English which was awesome and the menu was a QR code available in both English and Spanish. My husband ordered a passion fruit frapp to start, which was amazing. I got stuffed mofongo with stewed beef and Cajun sauce, he got stuffed mofongo with chicken and we got rice and beans as a side to share. The food was AMAZING. So good! And there was plenty of it. We also got two lattes to go and they were so good. The view is absolutely beautiful and so worth the drive. Would highly recommend! read more

This open air restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The food is phenomenal and the service is just as good. The owner came out to greet us and was so kind and welcoming. Wherever you plan to travel in PR you should definitely find this restaurant, even if it means going out of your way. If you plan to dine here just know that when you think you couldn't possibly be headed in the right direction...just keep going. You're almost there. I don't have any pictures of the food, but here is one of the view! read more

Hoy nos fuimos de almuerzo viernes 8 de octubre de 2021. Tienen el menu a la carta y también tiene el especial de almuerzo el cual puedes ver y seleccionar. Lo puedes comer en el amplio salón comedor. El comedor es sin aire acondicionado pero no hace falta. Fresco y agradable aunque un poco rústico. Necesita amor y cariño el salón para que esté upgrade. El almuerzo delicioso y buen servicio. read more

Fantastic restaurant on top of a beautiful valley. Some of the best Puerto Rican food you will find on the island. Definitely recommend the trifungo and empanadas, they are both absolutely delicious. The seating is mainly covered outdoor seating but when you see the view, you will not want any windows. read more

The mofongo was amazing. However, the pieces of meat felt dry and overcooked. The service was very good but they can improve in the kitchen. The views in that place are amazing. read more

Our server took the time to help me decide what I can get since I don't eat red meat! Manager came by each table too make sure we were all satisfied! Definitely will be back! Oh!!

Great view and food. Recommend the rabbit stew. Suggest they grow their own vegetables to go with home grown meat. read more

Great views! Also the food was very good. Traditional creole cuisine, with the casaju twist. If dining with company, start with th casaju sampler. Great ropa vieja!! Go for the mofongo either with carne frita, churrasco or shrimp. Also if craving something hot go for the rabbit stew. Desserts are ok, but nothing to rave about. Definitely coming back! read more

Worse service I ever had in my life. After waiting an hour for the table They took the order, we waited another hour for the food to find out that some of the diches that we ordered were not available. Yhe waitress keep saying the food is coming...0yeah right my $#%. I will not return. The manager couldn't tell us why people that had arrived later than us had their food already. No control at the kitchen whatsoever. I Do not recommend read more

Nice Place, been coming here for 10 years is good prices are high but the food is really good. Service is a bit slow. read more

Want Puerto Rican food? Want a place only frequented by locals? Want stunning views of the Juncos valley and El yunque? Casaju is your place, however try to find it. It's hidden away, far from the tourist circuit. Prices are reasonable, service is pleasant, Spanish is helpful but not necessary. read more

The best meal we've had on the island hands down. And that doesn't even speak to the view!!! I'm in love with churrasco but this, with the creamy sauce in mofongo was to die for. My husband had the salmon, which was also delicious! And after half a pitcher of house sangria, I was ready to spend the night on the multi-level decks. Thankfully I had a driver. :) great little place in the middle of the island- well worth a drive from wherever u are. read more

Good attentions, don't eat churrasco. It's to little and extra fine cut for $18.99. Maybe, $10 to $12 for the dish.. Beautiful view and fresh winds. read more

Churrasco is the best thing here. But all the other things in menu are also delicious! read more

Great place to eat with a great view. Excellent Puerto Rican cuisine. Great island dishes. Highly recommended.

Full recommended good food, good customer service and the cheapest mojito i ever pay for and well done.

The place is very good,the food is exellent, prices are the best, you get a big portion, the only thing that I did not like was the entrance to the restaurant, plus it was raining and the place needs some curtains that can be pull down when it rains, because we got wet, the view of Juncos its the best coming back soon read more

Casaju - Mofongo relleno de churrasco en salsa criolla y pechuga en salsa casaju con mofongo. - Puerto Rican Near Me - Juncos, Puerto Rico

Well, it is like in the middle of a mountain, so if you care too much for your car, try to go in another. The view is beautiful. You always see large groups and entire families there. The service is very good too for being so crowded. I recommend the stuffed mofongo a la carbonara (chicken, shrimp or churrasco), the rabbit fritters, and sangria. read more

This is a very remote restaurant in Juncos, but let me tell you, it is a gem. The service was very helpful in explaining the food and giving insight in what is best. I had the "mofongo relleno de mariscado casajú" and it was amazing. Very good portion for the price. The view is even better. I would totally recommend it to locals and tourists alike. read more

Great food, good portions, awesome view. The only thing I wasn't terribly excited about was the price, but other than that I recommend Casaju. :) read more

Excellent, affordable, classic criolla food!!! I seriously recommend trying the empanadas of ropa vieja for appetizers. The calabaza soup with shrimps was also tasty.
