It is extremely important for me to share this experience. We were visiting from Downtown Miami,…read moreFL. Today, 12/22/2025, my husband and I visited La Guitarra to celebrate their anniversary. As expected during the holidays, the restaurant was very busy. Due to limited parking, we decided to place a to-go order. My husband went inside while I remained in our vehicle, which was parked briefly in front of the nearby barbershop and La Parrilla. I waited approximately one hour, which was understandable given how full the restaurant was. During this time, a man (heavyweight) from a neighboring establishment (La Parrilla and Barbershop) approached my vehicle and asked how much longer we would be parked there. I calmly explained that my husband was paying and that we were leaving shortly. I also reassured him that we were not from the area and had no intention of inconveniencing anyone. Approximately five minutes later, an older woman (damaged blonde hair, missing 3 of her teeth, poor hygiene) from a neighboring business (La Parrilla and Barbershop) aggressively approached my car and forcefully pounded on my window with a pen, demanding that I move immediately. I respectfully asked her not to touch my vehicle. She responded in an aggressive manner, stating that she "owned the parking spots" and could touch my car however she wanted. Despite repeatedly asking her to stop touching my window, she continued her hostile behavior. At that point, I felt threatened and unsafe. This incident unfortunately reflects very poorly on the neighboring establishments (La Parrilla and Barbershop) and indirectly impacts La Guitarra, despite the restaurant itself having excellent food and service. While La Guitarra was full of customers, the neighboring businesses were empty, yet their representatives displayed unnecessary hostility toward patrons. Because of this experience, we have made the difficult decision not to return (we reside in Miami, FL), solely due to the unsafe and aggressive environment created by nearby businesses. I would like to sincerely commend the gentleman directing traffic, who identified himself as a veteran. He apologized to us multiple times for the behavior we experienced and showed genuine professionalism and kindness. To the owners of La Guitarra: your food is outstanding, but unfortunately your customers are being exposed to hostile and intimidating behavior from neighboring establishments (La Parrilla and Barbershop), which overshadows an otherwise wonderful dining experience.

Located in Playa de Ponce…read more The food was really good, but I had two very young kids with me. My wife drank Don Q Rum and was charged $5 per drink. I drank coca cola at $1.99 per drink. My kids asked for shirley temples that were refilled once and I got charged $27.96 for those drinks. I spoke to the bartenders and the owner about the excessive charge and they stood by the fact that a child's drink should be $7. So my kids had an $8 hamburger kids meal and about $14 worth of Shirley temples. They called it a Jugo Natural and said that is how they had to ring it up. There is no natural juice in a sprite and granadine. They didn't care that we would not return or that we were displeased. It is unfortunate because I really like to support the Ponce Playa area. When the kids drinks were refilled, I asked if they had refills and they said "yes", but in the end didn't honor those refills. On principal, I will not go back.

After the war they decided to start a restaurant. If you like history, a nicely decorated place, good steak, good Caribbean food, good drinks, good wines...well you have to visit El Tenedor.

We arrived and were seated at a table in the courtyard, the place was very busy. The waiter stopped by and took orders.

The cocktail prices are a bit high, but it is a tourist location, the beer prices are excellent. We had a couple appetizers; Chicharrones de Pollo and Mozzarella Sticks. They were ok, the Chicharrones were mostly bone. The service was good, the waiter was friendly and responsive. Overall, nice place for a drink.
