It is run by two sisters, one is the cook and the food is delicious - tapas inspired locally sourced ingredients, and yummy rolls and cookies. The other runs the bar, where she serves up very original drinks (I heard something about a Puerto Rican star mixologist being involved) but also a selection of local microbrews. Great energy and an authentic experience - service with a smile. Went for the music, left with a highlight of my trip. If you can get there, don't miss it!

I also heard they will soon have some tapas so I'm excited for that! It's truly a hidden gem and another thing I loved was that they have lots of books around the place to check out. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I really can't wait to come back and visit again soon!

This is a far out drive, up in the mountains of Puerto Rico but it is worth it. This restaurant is…read moreknown for their pastel al caldero -- a remix of the classic Puerto Rican dish pastel en hoja. And although I've never been a fan of pastel en hoja this one was delicious. The picadera consisted of tostones, bolitas de yuca, fried chicken, longaniza (blood sausage), and shredded pernil (pork). We also tried some pastelillos. Honestly everything was so good we left stuffed! The service was amazing even after the crowds started arriving and it got busier. Our server Gaby was great! Because it's up in the mountains, parking is limited and once it starts getting crowded it can be hard to find parking and seating in the restaurant. I recommend getting there no later than 1pm or 2pm right when they open. Trust by 3:30 it's already super packed. The mountain views and crisp air was so amazing and a refreshing change of scenery from the beaches and city life of San Juan. If you have some free time, I'd def recommend adding to your itinerary.

One of the best things we had here were the pastels. Anthony Bourdai was right. Try the beef one with cheese especially. The pastry dough tasted great as well as the fillings. We also tried the pasteles soup in a hot tin cup--which was pretty popular. It tasted interesting. Tostones were good. The pernil was a bit dry for my taste. Drinks here are good and cheap. Waiters were attentive. Expect to have snacks, a few drinks, and enjoy the view if you visit this place. This is not a place to have meals. It's one of the kind experience. I'm happy I visited.

This cozy bar and tapas restaurant has a charming speakeasy vibe that immediately made us want to stay. There were four of us, and we shared three different tapas. The meatballs were hands down our favorite--they were absolutely amazing! The hummus was delicious, and the shrimp was just as impressive. The atmosphere is cute, quaint, and incredibly comfortable, with cozy chairs and small tables that give it more of a lounge feel than a traditional restaurant. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring Old San Juan. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping in. We loved everything about it and would absolutely go back!
