It was our first night in Puerto Rico, and we really wanted to try something authentic. The place…read moreitself is small but has a nice vibe -- cozy and welcoming. The staff was amazing and very helpful. They took the time to explain what each plate was made of and made great recommendations, which we appreciated! However, I have to be honest -- I personally felt the food was missing a bit of seasoning or spice. It just didn't have the flavor I was expecting. It wasn't bad, but it didn't fully hit the mark for me. I did really enjoy the fried cheese and the sauce that came with it -- that was definitely one of my favorites. We also tried one of their house plates, which was good, but overall the flavors just didn't stand out the way I hoped they would. Overall: great service and a cute vibey spot, but the food didn't wow me.

We lucked into this place after we went cake shopping on this same block…read more From the moment we walked in on a weekday we were immediately greeted and treated like old friends from beginning to end! The place looks new, and super clean and right in th heart of the fun district. We sat at the bar and ordered food and drinks. Pricing was very friendly and the service as stated was great. We really enjoyed the time here and were in no hurry to leave. The food was served fresh and super hot and the fritters were tender and full of flavor, while the pizza was the perfect combo of crispy and chewy!! While the drinks were colder than anywhere I have ever ordered a beer from. Like they came straight out of the ice! I wish we lived closer (haha) this would be a new hangout for us! If you find yourself somewhere near San Juan PR - Go here! - you will not be disappointed!

Not the best seafood place in the area…read more We (a party of four) went there on a Friday afternoon for lunch. We were seated fairly quickly, in the inside part of the business as there were "no seats outside" - that wasn't the case. The server came promptly to take our order: @drinks - mojito, sangria, water and a soda. The sangria tasted like pouch sangria poured into a glass and the mojito had little to no rum. @Starters - marine sampler, which was greasy and overly cooked. @main dishes - paella marinera for 2, lobster tail, and stuffed mashed plantains with ceti (local fish). My overall impression of the main dishes wasn't great for the price we paid for the meal ($$$). The paella for two lacked flavor and the seafood wasn't properly cleaned (the shellfish had the poop vein); the lobster wasn't local and tasted weird; the stuffed plantains with ceti were very salty. For the latter we offered our feedback to the server and she just took the plate away, without offering any substitutions or following up. Enough to say that I'll not be coming here again. The price of the food goes beyond the quality and service. The only nice thing about the place its the view, which we got to see through a window.

It's a…read moresmall place with outdoor seating, connected to a go kart course, but the food is fresh and excellent. I had an arepa de pernil, and it was absolutely delicious. The arepa was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the pernil was very flavorful but not overly salty, and the lemonade was perfect (tasty with just the right amount of sweetness and tang). I would absolutely recommend the place to anyone driving by. The owner/chef is Venezuelan, and the place has been around for 3 years. They have a selection of vegan arepas as well, so it is vegetarian/vegan friendly.

Although it was slightly busy, the one server was running back & forth, accommodating every guest. What looked like the owner & co-owner were walking around greeting everyone as well, so it was warming for the soul. I ordered the fried pechuga with white rice & beans, and a little side salad, and had the fries while I waited. The fries were crispy, fresh, and delicious; they stood no chance.
