Friendly employees, spacious bar/restaurant with both an indoor and outdoor area and absolutely amazing food. We ordered a plate of stewed chicken, rice, beans and salad, a soda and two beers and you would never guess what was our total. Come on, guess. Did you guess? Are you sure? $8.50. Can't beat that. I couldn't believe it but I was thankful. Delicious and inexpensive is always a nice treat. We will definitely be returning.

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.

El Nuevo Authentico was one of the many fast-casual establishments we visited just a hop and a skip…read morefrom Playa de Vega Baja. It's a brick-and-mortar establishment with outdoor and indoor seating serving "tacos" (actually what we'd call empanadas!), beautiful golden alcapurias and other typical Puerto Rican snacks filled with various types of seafood as well as beef and chicken; "vasos" with seafood; jugos naturales; and various other seafood and non-seafood dishes with mofongo or other sides. (Menu here: https://l.ead.me/bbZiCZ) There was a fellow at the "door" (chain), possibly the owner, who allowed people in and out of the restaurant and who seemed actively unfriendly and unhelpful to us. But once we sat inside, our waitress was very nice. We speak horrible Spanish and she was kind enough to indulge us, but also kind enough to switch to English when our attempts fell flat. You can either order your food to eat out front at three tables or sit down within the restaurant for service. We sat on the cordoned off patio with bar stool style seating. My vaso des camarones was nicely made with large shrimp marinated with onion and sweet peppers. It was fairly sized for $10. The non-seafood snacks are jaw-droppingly inexpensive for New Yorkers (about $2 for most), but if you stick around for large plates (e.g. fried snapper), these are more spendy -- around $25-30. The non-seafood-eating contingent enjoyed their chicken and beef "tacos," thrilled that they didn't have to eat any vegetables.
