    Sancocho pequeño

    Best home cooked puerto rican meal on the island! Bacalao con berenjena is amazing, the mofongo criollo is one of the best I've had, the avocados are always ripe, plenty of tostones and the salsa rosada/mayoketchup is on point! You cant go wrong with any order as the dishes are flavorful and come in very generous portions. I've been visiting Puerto Rico twice a year for the last 10 years and this place is always one of my stops!

    Y'all, I'm gonna make this quick so I can get back to my food…read more This is one of the best meals I had in Puerto Rico. Hands down. Period. They are open 24/7 and deliver on Uber Eats so you have no excuse not to get you some. The bacalaitos were delicious! Chewy and tender and perfectly fried. Generous portion. Enough to share, although if you reach over here you might pull back a nub. Moving on... The rice and beans. Savory, saucy delicious carbs. What's not to love? Amarillos/platanos/fried sweet plantain (whatever you want to call them)... Yum!! Mind you, they're not caramelized like their Jamaican or Trinidadian counterparts... So adjust your expectations accordingly. I had some cilantro crema leftover from another meal that I thought would be good with them... And I was so right. And last, but certainly not least... The flan de coco. I love flan, but I've never had coconut flan... Until now. Easily one of the best flans I've ever had and probably the best dessert I've had out of all of my trips to Puerto Rico. Ok, I gave y'all all the information you need to know about this place. Why are you still reading this? Go get you some! And if you don't, that's fine too... I'll just eat your share. And no you can't have any.

    This used to be one of my favorite spots, but not anymore…read more Service was slow even though it wasn't busy. We waited a long time for water, the appetizer came after the main dishes, and no one checked on us. We had to ask multiple employees just to get water once the food arrived. The food was the biggest disappointment. The churrasco plantain sandwich was dry and flavorless. The mofongo and yuca with chicken were bland, and the chicken was tough and needed seasoning. The staff was polite, but not attentive. Being told the tip was "15% no less" at the end didn't sit right either. There are too many great Puerto Rican options out there -- we won't be back.
