Think of it as the criollo version of your açaí bowl type place. You see what you want and it gets prepared to your liking. Customizations are welcome! And it's fast. I think if this place was in a bigger plaza, it would be packed, but service is great and quick. I had the pulled pork stuffed avocado bowl. Excellent flavor. This one used arroz mamposteado instead of white rice and it fits it perfectly. The spicy mayo is a nice new touch to it, and the arañitas are crumbled and gives it an excellent crunchy texture. In short - fast, nice, great tasting clean food with all the criollo roots present. I'm here right now eating but this placed deserved the instant review.

Absolutely loved the salad here! They allow you to choose a lettuce mix then add in whatever you…read moredesire from their extensive selection of salad mix-ins as you move down their salad assembly line. I went with the spring greens mix ($4.30) then added in an avocado ($1.40), tomatoes, black olive, mushrooms, cucumbers, mushrooms and goat cheese. All the non-avocado mix-ins I chose were under $1 with the exception of the cucumber which was $1.25. You move along in a line similar to Sweetgreen, selecting your mix-ins as you go. At the end of the line, they mix up the salad very nicely and add your preferred dressing. My substantial salad rang up at $13.38 with tax. In my experience traveling in PR, not a lot of places offer large meal sized salads like places like Sweetgreen do on the mainland. The whole experience was a little slow since they were slammed with a lunch crowd when we visited. The parking here can be a little difficult as so many businesses share the same lot. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner so I am subtracting a star for the parking situation and bathrooms, but the salad is definitely a 5 star experience.

The hostess refused to kick them out. I overheard the group behind us who had made a reservation also be denied. After finally being seated, it took over an hour to get our food. The poulet was very good, but the bread we ordered was smeared with a red sauce where it been cut with an obviously dirty knife. At the end of the night, they gave us a free piece of cake on the house, which is the only reason why this review isn't one star. Also, our waitress was really nice and friendly, which raised the mood of the evening considerably. Other than that, though, I'm afraid I can't recommend this restaurant.

Went with some friends more than a week ago. I was skeptical since I don't eat Asian food, but I…read morelove that they have a good meat selection. I had the churrasco with tostones and they were amazing!! I also tried the fries from a friend and they were good. For an appetizer, I recommend the eggrolls, truly delicious. I was sad it was only two (parted at the middle, making them four pieces). The only thing is that the waiter was overly nice with three of the people in the table, including me, but kinda ignored my other friend who was there. Another friend wanted to add something to her sushi but they said the kitchen wasn't allowing substitutions/changes anymore.

We ordered the bacalaitos (codfish fritters) as an appetizer and the mofongo with shrimp (and another with pernil). The bacalaitos were perfectly fried, not greasy. The mofongo was the best mofongo I had in San Juan! It was full of flavor and the shrimp was the perfect compliment. My son housed their rice and beans. My husband ordered the tres leches cake. It was probably the best tres leches I've ever had. We'll definitely return next time we're in San Juan.

You get the real deal, real Puerto Rican dishes, with the greatest flavors and fair prices. Unless you prefer playing overpriced, find dining restaurants with average Puerto Rican food, which there are plenty of in the area. I'm not able to emphasize how small this restaurant is, it's located right along the main walking strip in Coronado Beach. Maybe 10 tables or so. No reservations walk up wait in line if you have to eat and leave. Not only will you eat the best tasting food during your trip, but probably also pay the least amount of money. We went here twice! Their rice and beans recipe is probably what it's all about! We got grilled shrimp and skirt steak over rice and beans and honestly, I could've had it all week long! This little gem local place is not to be missed! Highly recommended!

When it comes to Puerto Rican food, I truly only know Grandma's cooking. Our close friends mom,…read morewhom we refer to as Grandma cooked some of the best Pernil,arroz con gondules, tostones, and so on. So on our first night in the PR, we definitely wanted some authentic Puerto Rican food and with no recommendations, I resulted to what I know and did some Yelp searching. Not far from us was Toston Jibareño. As soon as we entered, I knew we were in the right place. The place has a decent amount of people inside so I knew it had to be ok. The menu has items I wasn't familiar with, but I went with what I thought I knew. Let me just say everything we ordered was spot on authentic to what I know. The pork chops was out of this world. The mofongo's and tostones brought back memories, the skirt steak was so tender and they did not have arroz con gondules, but instead arroz con habichuelas which are beans and I can't eat beans. It was a great first night. As much as I would love to come back,I have to try different places and different things, but if you are a local and haven't been here or a tourist and want good PR food, this is a great first stop.

The steak was tender and juicy. I can't remember much else from the meal, but I would definitely come back, even just for the mofongo alone!
