We're currently dining here, and from the moment my partner and I walked in, the experience has…read morebeen mixed. One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone. After being seated, our waiter hasn't been outright unkind, but there's a clear difference in how we're being treated compared to other guests. As a same-sex couple, it feels like we're not being received as warmly, even though he seems to be making an effort to remain professional. As a Puerto Rican, that's honestly a bit disappointing and feels out of place. That said, the food itself has been very good.

Extremely disappointing experience. We waited over an hour for our food with little to no communication from the staff. No updates, no apologies--nothing. We felt completely ignored the entire time, as if our table didn't matter. A dining experience should never feel this frustrating. This was a total waste of time, and unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of other restaurants that actually value their customers.

Do yourself a favor and stop at Bocaita if you're in Puerto Rico. I had the ceviche and it was my…read morefirst time having a sweet ceviche with mango and honestly it was incredible. Easily better than any ceviche I've had in the DC area. The Alfredo pasta was also very good, super flavorful, but I'd recommend asking for it on a plate instead of a bowl. It comes with a lot of sauce and butter so the bowl makes it a bit much. Overall great food and definitely worth the stop. The ambiance is also very nice looking.

The food was good, just not quite what I anticipated. It isn't homemade-style cooking, but more of…read morethe standard fare you'll find at many restaurants. The flavors were pleasant, just a bit different from what I expected. For example, the guava sauce is blended with soy sauce, giving it a unique twist. The presentation of the dishes is very Americanized, and there was no traditional garlic sauce for the mofongo. Instead, the only option available was a store-bought chimichurri, which didn't quite complement the dish the way a homemade sauce would have.

We had a long wait, but it was worth every minute of it. The appetizers (sandwiches of ham, turkey, chorizo) were phenomenal. The meat (churrascos and rib eyes) were all prime cuts and cooked to perfection; juicy and flavorful. We were a party of 8 and we were all more than pleased and happy with the food and service. Easy 5 stars . By the way, the place is truly a bakery, but surpasses many named and even recognized or so called restaurants.

***THE BEST CUBAN SANDWICH!***…read more A typical Puerto Rican small town "cafetería", very casual, but cute and warm, with lots of wood decoration. They have a lot of wines, cheeses and specialty hams, very much like Spanish "cavas". They have bakery sweets and sandwiches, breakfasts and snacks like croquettes and such. But they make, hands down, the BEST Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Ask for "pan sobao" -- a slightly sweeter and softer kind of bread. Great coffee too! It's a little too far from San Juan, unless you're headed towards Arecibo to do some tourism, in which case, this is an excellent locals stop on your way. :-) Disclaimer: Please remember Puerto Rico is not big on Yelp yet, since it's small enough for any local to find restaurants, therefore business owners don't advertise a lot and locals have no real need for it. So you see just 1 rating and review here now, but don't be fooled. Compare with my Florida and California reviews if you feel unsure. :-) -----------------------------------En Puertorro, ahora---------------------------------- Yo estudié entre Vega Baja y Manatí, y paraba mucho aquí a comerme el sandwich Cubano, que lo hacen delicioso. Es una pena que esta cafetería-deli casi no tenga reseñas, porque en Puerto Rico todavía no le cogen el piso a lo de Yelp. Pero ciertamente no tiene una sola reseña porque no sea excelente. Me encanta también lo de los acentos en madera, tipo español, y las variedades de vino, quesos y jamón Serrano. :-)

Henry, our server, was super respectful, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had a great experience. His professionalism and positive attitude really stood out. Even the owners take the time to personally check on you at your table, which makes the experience feel welcoming and special. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 5 is the $4 charge for tap water service and $5 for a side of bread -- that felt a bit excessive. Otherwise, the experience was fantastic. Highly recommended if you're in Humacao!
