They told me they were unable to find parking (there is parking directly outside the building). In the delivery instructions it said to go to the 22nd floor and go right out of the elevator. Instead of following instructions she just stayed in the lobby. When she came up to deliver the food she had a major attitude, and told me it was my fault she didnt know where to go because I didn't give parking instructions. I am sorry, do I need to tell you how to park your car in the designated area for deliveries? She was very rude and turned around and told me F-YOU as she left my office. Literally cussed at me and told me F-YOU. So, I don't even care if the food is good. I will not order food from a company that feels it is appropriate to cuss at their customers. I

They don't have an actual sit down restaurant which is quite disappointing, but the counter service gets the job done. My only gripe with this restaurant is the portions are very small which surprised me greatly considering the plates are pricey. Regardless, you are guaranteed a tasty meal whether you order mofongo, pernil, chicken breast, yuca, or even treat yourself to some flan. There's not many Puerto Rican spots around so don't miss out on this one!

They are a little hard to find so here's a tip: drive around the back of the hotel where the signs for the fitness studio are and you will see their sign in front of the double doors.

What's my favorite dish? The salad. No, I'm not a rabbit in disguise writing this review. They have…read morea lot of great dishes to share. I'm not sure how often they rotate the menu, but my husband is still missing the mofongo. This salad, though, has me in a chokehold. I think about it more often than I should. We eat here a few times a year, not to overdo it. Drinks are really good. The bartenders do something here that most bars can't; innovate cocktails so you get a new flavor experience, and the flavors actually work together. Most places, if they have a "creative" cocktail, I'd rather pass. Typically the execution rarely matches the ambition. Not here. They get it right. The service is always good. It's the right amount of attention, never hovering, always checking in when it matters. The dishes are spaced out enough that it creates a nice rhythm, and that pacing is probably what makes the service feel just right. I do wish they'd turn down the music. But I'm old and have tinnitus from years in the Army. The walls and lighting are great. Thankfully the menu is readable. Again, I'm old. Go for the cocktails, stay for the salad.

The small plates all exceeded my expectations while the one more substantial plate I got was not quite to my liking. Four stars. Service is excellent. There is a wealth of knowledge among the staff at every level. This is not an order, stuff your face, and leave situation. Lucina is an experience and you should plan to spend some time there. We stayed for an hour and a half so that we could take our time with each dish. Five stars. The restaurant is tucked into a corner of Kearney street. We sat on the patio, which was comfortable on a late summer evening. The interior is modish with artsy elements and plants to liven the space. Tables are spaced and staged comfortably. Five stars.

The space itself is quite small, with just a few indoor tables and some seating out front to people watch. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming staff. Service was quick, and everything came out fresh and hot. We tried the beef super arepa and the pork pupusa--both were packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. The only miss for us was the coconut lemonade, which leaned more bitter than refreshing. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, that works in its favor--everything feels intentional and well-executed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to, especially to work our way through the rest of the menu.

This review is based on their Jibaritos I had from their food truck. I haven't tried their…read moreempanadas, yet. Jibaritos is a new term for me, but I've had this type of dish before called tostones or as my Colombian friend calls them, patacones. They are all basically the same thing and that it is green plantains, smash down, and fried to make a round shape. Then, usually pulled chicken, tomato are served as the filling, and usually I've had them open-faced, but Mama's Empanadas is serving them as a little sandwiches that they call sliders. Let me tell you, tostones are much better than a basic bread bun! The sauce served in Puerto Rican food is a mix of mayo and ketchup, they have different names for this sauce, but it's something that is standard for this type of food. And it's really good, too! I already love each condiment alone, so mixing mayonnaise & ketchup together works for me and is really a nice condiment sauce for sandwiches. The sauce is like thousand island dressing but without the chunks. I would 100% get these Jibaritos again!! Yum.

The place was packed and with 3 groups of people before me, the food took 40 minutes to be ready. We got the eggplant croquette, cassava fries, sweet plantains and rice and beans with tofu and fried plantain. The croquette were AMAZING! Also, the garlic oil that comes with the fries is absolutely delicious. I wish they offered as a side condiment to add to the rice and beans. Since the rice, beans and tofu, don't have to much flavor. Maybe a little bit of that garlic oil on top of the tofu will make a difference. The portions are just enough for one person that don't eat a lot. The prices are right for the quality of food they offer. I didn't see any deserts on the menu, so I'm not sure if they offer them.
