    I went to Puerto Rico to see family. We went to this place two days in a row. I went on November…read more12th night one with my sister, her husband and my best friend. The first night, the food was excellent, service was fast and their sangria was to die for. I think it was excellent. We ordered a platter that had tostones, alcapurria balls, corn fritters, pork, and fried chicken pieces. I haven't had such great chicken since I was stationed in Japan. This chicken was number two after Japan. Delicious. Night two. Sunday. The area around it is called La Guancha. This little kiosk is located there. So my friend and I decided we would go again because we really enjoyed the food the night before. We were starving. It was popping there so we figured we would get a bite to eat and then enjoy everything going on. Nope. The food took AN HOUR! We sat there for 25 minutes before we even got waited on. Normally I would leave but my bestie and I had our hearts set on that chicken. Plus she wanted a piña colada. The food was good. However by the time we finished eating since it took forever to get the food, everything was over in La Guancha. No dancing, no music nothing. So because of the super slow service we received on night two that is why they only got 3 stars from me. It's such a shame because the food was truly great.

    Service and Rest presentation is nice. But the food presentation and taste is not good. I ordered a…read moreplain Monfongo and the Mamposteao rice without any bacon. I didn't want it with any meat, rice came with morcilla(that I don't eat!) and it was dry. Mofongo was cold. They serve it in a unattractive presentation that is complicated to eat. They need to improve quality of the food and presentation. I do not recommend this place.

    On our first full day in Ponce, we got a little, tiny bit off course on our way to breakfast. The…read moreplace we were intending to go was permanently closed, and we were also discovering how well Google Maps works with Puerto Rico addresses (pro tip: Waze works, Google Maps from Yelp does not). Desperate to avoid the increasingly hangry fiancee, I pointed at an unlikely looking place and said "they're open!" At 10 AM in the morning, we had chicken. Not the weirdest breakfast I've ever had, but definitely up there. Tasty Chicken lives up to its name -- the chicken is similar in flavour to the ubiquitous "Peruvian chicken," but the spice blend is a little different and way more flavourful. The chicken was juicy, hot, and well seasoned. We also had sweet plantain -- and rather than little tiny chunks or slices, they give you a whole big whopping plantain. The fried yuca, similarly, is big pieces, and they offer it covered in garlic (which is awesome, I don't think I can eat it without ever again). Worth the visit!

    Don't let the roadside appearance fool you; this place has AMAZING chicken in their restaurant!…read more The use of Tasty was spot-on. Their chicken was moist & their sides were fantastic (try their yuca, which is served with garlic -- as an add-on, if you wish). The plate was plentiful with leftovers to take with you. Definitely plan a visit if you're going to be in this area!
