Great food and style "El sitio está bien nítido, con un ambiente rústico que de verdad se siente acogedor. Me pedí el bistec y estaba a otro nivel: bien sazonao' y blandito. El servicio también estuvo súper bien, gente humilde y atenta. Un spot excelente para comer tranquilo y salir contento. ¡Vuelvo pronto!" Great food and style read more

Nice restaurant not great. Neighborhood not so much. Run down and sketchy. Hardly No parking. Food came out somewhat on time and it was tasty. However, my "pork chop con con" were extremely dry. Rice and salad were super small portions. It wasn't the best experience. One and done here, Honestly. read more

La Güira - Puerto Rican Near Me - Arecibo, Puerto Rico

I liked this place because they were very accommodating for our group of 5 without reservations. Food takes awhile to come out, but hopefully that's because it's made fresh! We enjoyed most of our dishes. The empanadas and corn fritters were delish and probably what we enjoyed most! Service was great, our server was very attentive as were some of the other staff. read more

Found this place while visiting Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Food was excellent and service was great. I wish I could remember the names of the two dishes I had here but both were excellent. Food and service was so good we visited twice. Both of my dishes were steak cooked medium rare. Not as rare as I like but still good. My sister had chicken wrapped in bacon - also excellent. Mojitos were yummy! See photos for reference. read more

Super lento y no tienen buen servicio. No siguen el orden de llegada. Ese lugar se ha dañado es una pena

This place was great. We stopped here on our way from the San Juan Airport to our AirBnB in Rincon. The neighborhood doesn't look like much but the restaurant is quite nice inside. The waitress was very kind and helped translate for us. She spoke English well. The food was all excellent. Fresh, delicious and presented well. My 17 yr old son has the 1/2 pound burger which was excellent. My husband had empanadas and chicken wings which he also liked a lot. I'm vegan and the put together a special dish of asparagus, mashed yams?? and delicious rice with veggies. And the mojitos were some of the best we've ever had and we get them a lot. I especially loved the Passion fruit mojito. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This was our favorite place to eat in PR. The empanadas were absolutely delicious, the beans were so flavorful, everything tasted great.

We arrived Arecibo 9:30 PM and were famished! Luckily, this place was still open. When we walked in, I think locals thought we must have been lost. We walked in with shorts and dirty hiking shoes, as everyone else was dressed semi formally. At this hour, most people looked like they were there for drinks, but food was still being served. No one spoke English except for the bartender, but the language barrier was not that big of a deal. You can get away with knowing pretty little Spanish here. My boyfriend got the shrimp mofongo with tangy garlic sauce and I got beef steak with a side of sweet plantains. Mofongo is pretty much one of their national dishes. It's made of fried green plantains and mashed up in a mortar. Out of all mofongos we've tried, La Guirra's was one of the best ones we've had this whole trip. They aren't stingy with the shrimp either. It's topped with 2 large shrimps, but beneath the mofongo mound, you will find even more! My beef steak wasn't necessarily a steak. It was sorta grounded. It was a bit dry, but it had a good flavor. The sweet plantains were delicious! Each dish came with salad topped with a tangy dressing and to us, this was so important! Throughout our trip, vegetables seemed scarce. We learned most of PR's produce is imported from California, thus, expensive and hard to come by. Our meal was delicious and affordable. I would definitely come back if I was in Arecibo again! If you want to try what we had, ask for "mofongo de camarones y ajo" and "bistec y plátanos maduros." ¡Delicioso! Nos encantó el mofongo de camarones y plátanos maduros ! read more

Favorite new restaurant in Arecibo. We were ready for lunch after a morning of walking and this spot was the perfect stop. Atmosphere was inviting, service was prompt and friendly, and the food was delicious. As someone who cooks from scratch and cooks Puerto Rico food it was authentic and well seasoned. We plan on visiting again! read more

We are regulars at this place when staying in Arecibo. Good solid homemade Puerto Rican food at a reasonable price. Always friendly service, clean and modern atmosphere and not divey. It is located near downtown Arecibo and is usually the only place open in the area. I think they said they close at 11pm and on weekends till 1am. Usually open everyday but not holidays. I had the churrasco in crispy plantain cups with pickled onions. Churrasco was tender and the plantain was perfectly crisp and the lil onions and what seemed like mojito was delish. We also ordered the mini tangas, which were tiny empanadillas in different flavors of minced meat and guayaba. Very good. My Dad had some type of meat that was stuffed with other meat like chorizo and it was equally delicious and just a solid meal. Can sometimes be a lil slow but nothing crazy really they are pretty good about that. If in a hurry just mention it to the waiter they are always happy to help you. Like I said im a regular when in Arecibo! read more
