    Papa rellenos de carne
    Ooz-ma G.

    Quick service. Able to answer what ingredients were used in items. Papa Rellonos aren't made with wheat flour is a plus for me. Friendly staff.

    We stopped at this lovely roadside restaurant that is frequented by the locals. We ordered fish tacos that were not fried.

    Best food I've had on the island! Bryan and Jirell hooked it…read moreup- best service I could possibly recommend! This venue gives a "mom and pop" vibe while delivering flavor and hospitality. The lobster risotto was flavorful and the serloin with dirty rice was mouth watering. I can't say enough good things about the food and the atmosphere at this restaurant. Thank you so much for the incredible experience. Counting down the days until we eat here again.

    Our first time visiting Dorado and we wanted to have dinner nearby so we decided to try this spot…read more I was not disappointed! I ordered a cocktail called Mula de Oro which was insanely delicious. For my main course I ordered the grouper appetizer (fish strips) with a side order of arroz mamposteado. It was the perfect meal! The grouper was lightly breaded and fried. It wasn't oily at all and very flavorful. The rice was also very delicious. It had the perfect amount of "sabor". The portions are generous but I did order dessert just to try the flan de queso. Zero regrets, it was delicious and unlike any other dessert I've ever had. Just imagine cheesecake merging with flan drizzled with caramel... The service was great, both Spanish & English are spoken here so don't be intimidated if you're not a native. The ambiance is casual with outdoor and semi indoor seating and parking is available.

    Toston Jibareño - Some appetizers like crispy shreded and fried plantains and a empanada style beef wrapped in plantain and deep fried.

    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.

    We were recommended to come here by an employee at the rum distillery we were at before this (Ron…read moredel Barrilito), and it may have been the alcohol speaking, but it was delicious. My friends and I shared the skirt steak with mofongo, and the mofongo was the best we had our entire trip. We got to try to chicharron too, and it was crispy and flavorful. 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!
