We did wait patiently until someone told us to go inside the bakery. The service was fast the only thing I didn't like was that I when I ordered a whole sandwich. I asked them to please only put salad to half of the sandwich and they put salad to the whole sandwich. We didn't realize they did until we left and my daughter got a bite of it she noticed that they put salad in her sandwich. Unfortunately my daughter doesn't like tomatoes and that why I was clear when I ordered the sandwich.

There could be McDonalds or Burger King right next to it but the bread and specialties are why this place is packed every single time!!! Always a line out the door. This particular morning, we went to the drive thru and there was a lady taking the orders. The special was the Omelet Trio, egg, deli ham, bacon, sausage, and Swiss cheese on Puertorican Sobao bread with 6 oz.café latte (or you can substitute for 25 cents more a 12 oz. juice) , and the newspaper (while supplies last). We also ordered a side of sorullos, fried corn meal (their version of hash browns) and a guava/cheese pastry. Best customer service, courteous, friendly and fast. When in P.R., go visit one of their many locations!

Ended up ordering the steak sandwich with fries and had a queso pastry as well. Sandwich was good, but not excellent as the first El Meson we stopped at in San Sebastian (perhaps the bread was not as fresh nor the ingredients since it was end of day). In any case, service was great (order at the counter and seat yourself).

I am cognizant that these are very heavy days for restaurants. However, I was not prepared to wait 2 1/2 hours to be served. My group waited patiently and the water was very apologetic. 2 hours into the wait, I told the waiter to bill us for the drinks and appetizers since we wanted to leave. It was already 9:25 p.m. and it was too late for me to eat. The owner came out and told me that the food was already being prepared and we had to take it to go. In other words, we were not leaving before paying for it. I didn't want to make a scene so we decided to continue waiting. The food took an additional 22 minutes to arrive. I feel the restaurant breached its responsibility to serve us within a reasonable amount of time, and bullied us into paying for the meal one way or another. If they knew how backed up the kitchen was, they must inform the patrons and let them decide if they want to stay of not. They put profit above service. I will never return to this restaurant.

I'd booked us a snorkel and bio bay tour in town and we'd driven hours to get here from San Juan (amateur mistake but a happy accident since we got to discover a new part of the island!) we needed a spot that was still serving dinner before the long drive back home and found La Jamaca by chance. The pretty lights in the pool and laidback vibe were so welcoming, and then the food-- all authentic Puerto Rican fare made incredibly well-- really sealed the deal. We decided on that night to get married on the island, which happened six months later (though closer to SJU just to simplify for my side of the family.) We have been visiting the island regularly ever since, but only made our way back to this side this weekend, since we were planning to see in laws in Lares the next day and this would be closer than the East side where we were, so we got to eat here AND spend the night at last. I was worried maybe I was rewriting it through a nostalgic lens but when our food came out -- wow. It was JUST as delicious as I remembered. You cannot beat this place for perfectly prepared, heaping portions of delicious Puerto Rican cuisine. They started us out with a complimentary cup of plantain soup which was a tasty, perfect way to whey the appetite - and gave my husband strong nostalgia since it was always his grandmother's fav. We decided to split an app and entree and it wound up being more than enough food-- to be opulent we did the lobster mofongo with garlic and started with the churrasco con queso empanadas (three in an order and they're the full size, so... BIG!) The mofongo was moist and flavorful, with a ton of lobster peppered around it, cooked to garlicky perfection, and the empanadas had a gorgeous crust and flavorful chunks of steak with melty mozzerella. Everything was divine and we were so happy we got to try the food here again and that it was still so wonderful. It's off the beaten path and in a cute low key spot - but i would wager this stands up to any meal you'd get in the center of town.
