    Yes, yes, yes!!! Come through La Prena! This was one of my favorite restaurants. The staff was nice and the food came quickly. My favorite is the spicy crab. I wanted to go back but hubby wanted to try something different since it was so many choices. I would definitely recommend. Im thinking about them little sandwiches right now. Love it

    dominican arepa with pepes fritas

    Im on board the La Prẽna train. Delicious go to for arepas. Very casual ambiance with great service. Will always hit this place up for a quick bite when im in PR. If you order fries better ask for ketchup or mayo ketchup for dipping

    Never had an arepa in my life and now I crave them constantly. I found this spot down the street from where I was staying. My partner and I ordered the dominicana, tripleta, and the spicy crab. The best was the dominicana, the blend of the maduro with the queso frito and salami was a great mix. Staff was nice and attentive and gave great recommendations. Plenty of seating with shade too.

    Loved this spot last time I was in PR and didn't disappoint on my next visit. The filling for the arepa was very flavorful and juicy, I could've eaten six by myself...but I shared with my kids. Speaking of kids, they have some sweet options for desert as well! My two got glazed arepas and a Nutella arepa. Reminded me of an elephant ear at the fair and delicious. Love the designs in the walls as well. Such a great atmosphere. The restaurant looks to be a repurposed warehouse container. It's really nice and also an outdoor but feels like indoor set up.

    La Preña is the perfect place for a protein packed snack before a night of drinking. It's also the first stop my partner and I made after landing in Puerto Rico. The ambiance is casual and seating is outdoors. The place wasn't crowded and we were quickly seated despite it being a Friday night (probably because it was hot outside). Service was quick and friendly and we got our food quickly. My partner and I ordered the spicy crab, octopus, and triple meat arepas. The spicy crab and octopus are chilled and both had a lot of protein. The spicy crab was mild in terms of spice and had the signature sweetness of a good crab making it deliciously refreshing. The octopus is tender and covered in a tart and tasty aioli. The seafood arepas were nicely paired with a well seasoned, juicy, and piping hot trio of pernil, chicken, and beef in the triple meat arepa. Every arepa that came out had a lot of protein and the perfect ratio of bread to filling. For the price, taste, protein portions, and service, La Preña is hard to beat. Just make sure to come when it's not roasting outside since seating is outdoors.

    Order every arepa your belly can fit. Your won't be disappointed. Make sure you try the pernil and the spicy crab, those are a must! Lol everything we ordered was so good. Ask them for the homemade hot sauce. It's sooooo flavorful. That was probably one of my favorite sauces I've tried tbh. The service is great too. The people here were very attentive and very kind. I love the outdoor vibe they have going on here too!

    yummy overstuffed coconut-flour arepas.. we tried the camarón, ceviche, and ropa vieja and all were delicious. we ordered to go and ate them on a nearby beach. a little soggy after 10m of walking but that was to be expected. sauce was good, too.

    Stop here if you want the most delicious arepas in Puerto Rico! My wife and I took our kids here while we were on vacation and even those picky eaters loved it! This is a nice local spot with great service and amazing food. Every time we come to PR, we stop in!

    Pretty good arepas. Small in size for the price. The frying cheese was a bit different, maybe it was grilling cheese.

    Pernil pork arepas

    Absolutely delicious arepa sandwiches. We got the pork, sauce is delicious, and bread is so ark and fresh. We ate here on the first night of our trip and as last lunch before heading to the airport.

    Amazing food! Quick and friendly service. We saw a few locals come here and grab food - a testament to the quality. We sat in the back. Cute!!!

    Pollo arepas and spicy crab arepas.
    Floy K.

    This place looks like a little hole in the wall. It's open and you sit outside, but it's a neat atmosphere. The food was good and more filling than it looks. We tried arepas and fish tacos, along with tostones. It was all good.

    Virginia T.

    We went on an excursion today and our tour guide suggested this place. I'm not a big fan of arepas but O M G! This is the place to visit!! The arepas are like NO OTHER I have ever had!! Each one was stuffed!! We tried the ceviche Pulled chicken Tres golpes or triplet Dominican Spicy crab Pulled pork Shrimp Each one wAs just outstandingly delicious!! Tried their 32 oz mojito-just meh-nothing to rave about. Too much ice and just limy not much alcohol at all nor sweet.

We arrived at 11am on a Monday because that's when we thought they opened. They actually opened at 11:30am, so we were 2nd in line at 11am. Once 11:30am rolled around, the line was very long. It's an old house that was transformed into a restaurant. It's pretty big in there and they have an upstairs as well. It really feels like you're eating in a Caribbean home, from the colorful tablecloth to the things on the tables. The menu is on a board, and they have a Spanish and English version. They give you a cup of complimentary plantain soup which was amazing. We also ordered the fried cheese app which came with a delicious guava sauce. For mains, I had the fried pork with tostones and my husband had the mamposteado (corned beef, fried eggs, and rice). My husband cleaned his plate, while I took leftovers back to the hotel (which we actually ate later because it was that good). They were out of tres leches that day, so we had the coconut pudding for dessert. It was my first time trying coconut pudding and it did not disappoint! For drinks, we had the passionfruit sangria. When we left, there was a very long line outside. Despite the line, they did not rush us out. Definitely recommend and would go out of my way to come back next time I'm in PR.

There are so many spots that are authentic and incredible, but La Casita Blanca stands out in its own lane. It's gotten more popular and touristy over the years, but that's because they've stayed true to who they are. The authenticity here hasn't changed, and that's exactly why people keep coming. This is the kind of place where the menu brings you right back to your upbringing. You'll find dishes like corned beef, tostones con bacalao, and other classics that just hit differently. And the vibe? It feels like family. Someone who looks like your aunt might be cooking your food, your cousin might be serving it, and everyone treats you like you belong there. Food-wise, everything we had was fire. One of the people I was with is basically an "aguacateologist," and even he said it was one of the best he's ever had. That alone says a lot. Chuletas fried to a perfect golden crisp. The pollo fricasé (pollo guisado, if you know, you know) was on point and even came in a little pot that made it feel extra homey. Arroz con gandules? Off the hook!!!! And to top it all off, they had salsa playing in the background... which honestly had me sold the moment I walked in. Disclaimer/Warning; There will be a line!!! And if you're lucky enough to get a table, sit back and enjoy every second of it.

It's just that you're basically getting food truck vibes and what is essentially street food for a nice, full service price point. The food is hearty- you don't need to order much to get full. Stick to what this place is good at, arepas. They load it to the max and their assortment of sauces are pretty impressive. One thing I gotta say though, $10 for an orange juice is egregious at any level. I could be at the four seasons in Bali and that would still make me raise my eyebrows. Even then I ordered it like a doof and it was like 3/4 ice!! C'mon yall, just take it off the menu if it's like that. Overall, the 24-hour aspect is nice and the food is decent. I can see myself paying a premium after a long night out, but just watch what you get because that bill can run up quick.

The inside looks like a cafeteria but it stays busy. We were seated quickly although it seemed packed. They have a good amount of menu options and cross out what isn't available. They also have drink options that our server listed to us. To start, we ordered the lobster empanadas and sangria. The empanadas were delicious! Very tasty and fresh. The sangria however, was not great. It just tasted like juices that don't really work together. I couldn't taste the wine. We ordered the roasted pork and skirt steak. The steak was really tasty, and juicy. But the roasted pork was very dried and hard. It had some good bits in it but there were quite a few pieces that were too cooked to eat. The rice and beans were cooked very well. This is the perfect place for quick local food where you won't spend too much. But if you want a very high quality, I would choose elsewhere.

My son had the churrasco (skirt steak) and it was excellent. We ordered sides of amarillos (sweet plantains) and they were the best ones we had the trip -- soft, juicy, with caramelized exterior. We wanted tres leches for dessert, but it sold was sold out. If you only had one "typical" PR dinner, I would suggest Bebo's.
