    We had the Churrasco with garlic sauce and the mofongo stuffed with ropa vieja - both were great picks!

    I personally only wanted to come here to buy coffee beans and to get a caffeinated drinks although…read moreI know that they offer coffee tours as well. It's a nice place to visit. They have a big field with coffee fruit bushes in the distance. They have a nice photo op. The store features a cafe with seating outdoors. They sell pastries and of course coffee. They do sell speciality coffees. I personally got to try their strawberry shortcake drink. I also got to buy coffee beans. Unfortunately they didn't feature roast dates on the bags. The staff was well informed about what bags to buy for what notes/tastes you prefer. It's a nice detour for anything coffee related.

    Hacienda Muñoz is set in a truly beautiful location, surrounded by mountains with a classic…read morehacienda-style layout that gives the whole place a relaxed, scenic vibe. There's even a small coffee shop area off to the side, which adds to the charm. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout. We sat in the first dining area (there's apparently a second section as well), just to have drinks and some appetizers, and overall the experience started off well. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights here. That said, there was a significant issue with the food. The chicken wings we ordered were served with visible hair/feather remnants still on them, even after being fried. That's not just a small oversight; it's a basic food preparation and quality control issue that shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, the setting and service make this a place with a lot of potential, but attention to detail in the kitchen, especially cleanliness and proper preparation, needs improvement.

    Given more days in Luqillo, I would return every day to try all their food…read more I started with the arepas de coco - very well fried, soft, doughy puffs complemented with a guava sauce. They were addictive, it was hard to not eat all of them. They would also be a good dessert - reminiscent of beignets, but with less oil and sugar. For main I had the churrasco skirt steak with rice of the day. It was a generous portion of steak topped with a delicious churrasco fragrant with garlic. The rice was well seasoned and perfectly cooked texture. Server was enthusiastic about the food and providing suggestions. Though I suspect everything on the menu is delicious. Guests at all the tables around me raved about their meals. Indoor seating is cozy and comfortable. There's a small bar with counter seating.

    We stopped at La Fonda for an early lunch, and we are so glad we did. The service was amazing, and…read morethe food was even better! The decor is very Puerto Rican, and the vibe was perfect! It wasn't too busy, so we were able to chat with our server about local places to check out. We ordered the Can-Can pork with the rice and beans. Soooo good! Also, my drink was beautiful and tasty! Definitely stop in and see them if you're ever on the island!
