The lechon is done to such tenderness that it falls off the bone. The crispy crunchy skin is amazing ! The prices is perfect we fed three people with one platter/container serving and still had food left over. The owners are so nice and accommodating and outgoing. That means way lots to me. For the money we got so much food we're taking home tonight's snack. Everything is worth eating here. I'm an extremely picky eater as you all know and I ate there and enjoyed... So get to PR - drive out of San Juan the capitol city and go northwest on 22 and go towards Hatillo/Mayaguez and get on rt 2 going left towards Hatillo .... it's on the right side just past Home Depot.... So worth it.

Every item we tried -- from the lechón to the yucca and potato salad -- was overwhelmingly salty,…read moreto the point that it overpowered any other flavor. It genuinely felt as though salt had been used without restraint. The only dishes that were reasonably enjoyable were the amarillos and the arroz con gandules, which at least had some balance and authenticity. Unfortunately, dessert did not redeem the experience. The bread pudding also carried an unexpected salty taste and seemed as though it had been sitting out for quite some time. The beans were equally disappointing and lacked freshness or depth of flavor. Overall, the meal was deeply underwhelming, especially considering the expectations for traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. Regrettably, this is not a restaurant I would return to. Cada uno de los platos que probamos -- desde el lechón hasta la yuca y la ensalada de papa -- estaba excesivamente salado, al punto de opacar cualquier otro sabor. Honestamente, parecía que la sal se había usado sin ninguna moderación. Los únicos platos relativamente agradables fueron los amarillos y el arroz con gandules, que al menos tenían algo de balance y autenticidad. Lamentablemente, el postre no logró mejorar la experiencia. El budín de pan también tenía un sabor salado inesperado y parecía haber estado expuesto por bastante tiempo. Los habichuelas también fueron decepcionantes y carecían de frescura y sabor. En general, la comida fue sumamente decepcionante, especialmente considerando las expectativas de una cocina puertorriqueña tradicional. Desafortunadamente, es un restaurante al que no volvería ni recomendaria.

It's open a little later compared to other restaurants around town so that's a plus. It's located right in El Parque del Norte, a beautiful área to walk around in before or after your meal. I took one star off because of how long the food took. We placed an order & were told about 20 minutes. When we arrived almost 30 mins later, they told us our food wasn't ready & to give them 20 more minutes. It took an hour for us to get our to-go order. I honestly think they forgot to make it & remembered when we arrived & started making it then.
