    The BEST mofungo in the country. Seriously cannot beat their creole sauce and their mofungo isn't…read moretoo garlicky like some mofungo can be. Also had an amazing chicken breast with plantains and chorizo and cheese. It was such a big serving I had to save half of it for later. One of the best restaurants of our entire trip

    E'Pura Cepa in Cidra feels like somebody's younger titi got control of the kitchen and said, "Sí,…read moresí, I know how abuela made it...pero déjame meterle un poquito de sazón mío." This is homemade comida boricua with a little freestyle--los clásicos we already love, but with enough creativity to make them spark in the food jungle. The Nutella French toast? Ay bendito. Sweet, rich, messy in all the right ways, and absolutely not here to support anybody's dieta. Pero EL CHICHARRÓN?! Miraaaa. Fabulous. Crunchy, chewy, salty, melt-in-your-mouth oro. That perfect mix where you get the crisp on the outside and that tender little bite inside. Dangerously bueno. The coffee was rico and simple. No twenty-seven syrups, no nonsense--just a good cafecito doing what cafecito is supposed to do: wake you up and make life feel a little more correct. The staff was super friendly, everything tasted fresh, and the service kept moving. Pero remember, mi gente...you are in Puerto Rico. Island time is real. Sit down, enjoy your cafecito, look around, habla un poquito, and let the kitchen hacer lo suyo. E'Pura Cepa gives you that homemade Rican comfort food feeling, but with a younger-titi twist. Like abuela handed over the recipe book and somebody said, "Trust me, I got this." And honestly? Sí. They got it.

    Should you come during early week days then know service is very slow. There is only one waitress…read moreattending and although she is great and does genuinely try her best you must come with patience. The menu is not very diverse and by early afternoon the establishment runs out of a certain type of meet. I suggest to try during peak hours. Enjoy!

    It is easy to walk by Chef's Creations without noticing it; if you do, turn around and come back!!…read moreThe food was excellent! We had a simple lunch that was flavorful, well-prepared, and inexpensive. It's an open air restaurant where you can enjoy the fresh air without baking in the sun and heat. The decor gives it a rustic and charming vibe. You can tell simplicity is part of their approach. You walk in and seat yourself, you bus your table at the end of the meal, and you pay at the window on your way out--we learned this by watching the locals who had stopped in for a quick lunch. The small menu was handwritten on plain white paper--Spanish on one side, English on the other. We spotted someone diligently hand-drying clean plates and trays at the edge of the dining area. We were expecting our bottles of waters to come to the table before our food, but after a short wait the server brought it all out together on a tray. The plates are basic and we got to-go plasticware & napkin sets to eat our meal. The food was excellent! The Arroz Mamposteao (mixed rice) was especially good. After a week in PR where it seems vegetables are surprisingly scarce on restaurant menus, we were really excited to have green salad. The total meal was under $20, making it the least expensive lunch for two we've had in a long time.
