Definitely one of the nicer and trendier places I have been on since I had to come back to Puerto…read moreRico. Has a nice clean feel to it. Very well designed. 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.

Food is healthy. Service is OK. Price is $$ Bring water, soda, and your probably much better.read more

Does NOT honor reservations. We reserved a table, and then watched another group of young men step…read moreinto the store and sit down at the table we had been promised. 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.

Vianca made me a fan for life…read more We arrived really late after our flight and were scrambling to find somewhere to eat. St. Germain Bistro Bar happened to be right across from our Airbnb, and honestly it felt like we got lucky. Even though it was late, they seated us right away and helped us pull together two small tables so our family could sit comfortably. My kids were starving, so that alone was a huge relief. The portions for the kids' pasta and chicken nuggets were a little smaller than expected, but the flavor and quality were excellent. You could tell the food was made with care. I ordered the onion soup and the fried cheese with guava dip and wow. Absolutely delicious. The guava dip especially was incredible. I also had a mojito that was perfectly made. But what really made the night unforgettable was the kindness of the staff. My son had forgotten his inhaler and was having a hard time adjusting to the humidity. He was coughing a lot and clearly uncomfortable. Vianca noticed right away and went out of her way to help. She brought over honey and encouraged him to take a little shot with ginger and honey, then brought hot tea as well. She even suggested things like putting socks on him and using Vicks when we got back. When I mentioned that my kids are half Puerto Rican and their abuela already swears by those remedies, she just lit up and said, "Well you're home then, you already know what to do." That moment really stuck with me. The warmth, the care for kids, the genuine hospitality. It's exactly the kind of Puerto Rican kindness people talk about. The kitchen is small, so service can be a little slower, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The food is great, the drinks are great, and the people make the place special. If you're nearby, definitely stop in. Places like this are why people fall in love with Puerto Rico.

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.

For that reason, I'd recommend going at an off time for lunch because it was great! They were out of a few items, but I ended up with a pork chop with guava sauce and it was so good. They were also sadly out of the tres leches cake but I popped back in later that week as they were closing and were thrilled they had some left. That may have been the best tres leches I've ever had. The drinks were also delicious! We'll definitely return next time we're in PR.

We went with the waitress's recommended dishes - Mofongo Churrasco (steak) and Mamposteao Tacu Tacu with grilled shrimp. Flavors were strong and a bit on the salty side, but delicious. We enjoyed both dishes. The Mamposteao Tacu Tacu has a long fancy name but it was rice and beans topped with skirt steak. The sangria was the happy hour cocktail of the night, very refreshing.

Yelp reviews brought me here…read more Unfortunately, they were out of four of the beef dishes on the menu that sparked my interest. They were completely out of beef. I've been eating pork for days, so that was not an option, and I really didn't want chicken nor fish. However, the waitress told me one of the chicken dishes was very good so I tried it. I had an appetizer and a cocktail. They were fine. For the entree, I had chicken breast with a creamy garlic sauce, served with seasoned rice mixed with beans. The rice was flavorful, but it was not warm, not heated thoroughly. The chicken lacked depth of flavor. It was cooked plain with a garlic sauce poured on top and a few slices of red sweet peppers. Service was fine. The waitress was very friendly and asked how everything was. I told her the rice was not warm. She offered to fix it. However, I lost my appetite. Casual dining atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre. Maybe is was a bad night, not sure. I'm on vacation, so I will not return.
