    Ceviche y chips de malanga (left), spicy crab arepa (top right), hashbrowns, shrimp arepa (bottom right)
    Melanie T.

    WOW. The food here was amazing! We walked in on a Sunday night, it wasn't too crowded since the weather wasn't great. On sundays, the medalla beer can is only $1. We ordered the ceviche to start which was a pretty big portion. Two arepas, the spicy crab and shrimp. And hashbrowns. It was so good, that we ordered another spicy crab, though they informed us they just sold out so we got the shrimp instead which was still great! Also another order of the hashbrowns which were oh so crispy ! Servers were very attentive and explained the menu well. Most servers spoke Spanish though if they weren't sure of our questions in English they would ask another server to assist. Would definitely come back!!

    FIRST, THE WHITE SAUCE IS BANGING. Atmosphere is great, good music and ample seating. Only con is that the bathroom had a lot of mosquitoes x.x Came around 14:30/2:30 PM and we ordered 4 arepas: I had the pulpo and triple meat, friend had the pernil and fish. Loved the pulpo, chunks were thick and fresh! Triple meat had salami and ham (?) And the whole bottom half was pernil. Friend thought the pernil was too salty, its definitely juicy and also salty. The arepas were crispy and fluffy where it counted, and very well stuffed, worth the price range. Service was great, they take your order and have you sit. You pay after your meal. Definitely will return!

    If I had to pick one place to eat on the island, it would be here! So so so good. Had the shrimp arepas and they were to die for. They're made fresh and the flavors just melt in your mouth. The service was so incredible & they gave us free desserts to try. HIGHLY recommend!

    The #2 six pack does NOT include churrasco, pulpo, tripleta or Dominicana.  This place is BS
    Alfredo D.

    They have a six pack in their UVA menu that offers options that they don't honor. When you call to inquire to find out what the deal is (when you get the wrong things) they mock you and reply sarcastically. I didn't receive a call to rectify. According to them, the item does not include those options, but I mentioned them in the notes. Why wouldn't you call to figure out what's going on? So, be advised, false advertising galore and poor customer service.

    Some of the best food I ever had!! The service was incredible and everyone was so sweet. The owner, Pedro made the experience extremely personal and fun. They were great at suggesting and made the whole experience very happy. I strongly recommend. I got the guava and cheese along with the ceviche

    Chicken arepa, beef and cheese empanadas
    Javier C.

    The food is packed with flavor! The chicken arepas were very good and a great portion for the price. Try the empanadas as well!

    I found this place on TripAdvisor and Black Travel movement. Best decision EVER, yes it's a food truck but the food taste like a five star restaurant. The prices are reasonable, the service quick and friendly. I was able to make it over here twice on my four day trip, Saturdays La Prena stays open until 3 am. Thank GOD because after a few drinks this was desperately needed. If you eat no where else this is a MUST while in PR!!!

    Interesting concept. Good taste. As fried as you order the delivery takes some time but your food is fresh and hot. So, no rush when visit "La Preña". Price per unit is a little high for this type of food.

    Arepas con pollo and dessert
    Lina A.

    Arepas were delicious and fresh! The atmosphere was great with old school hip hop and reggae playing in the background and outdoor seating. The only small issue we had was that the service was fairly lax. Our order was 20 mins late and had to flag the server down for an update. We came to find out the order was never put in. Nevertheless they gave us free dessert to make up for the inconvenience. Overall experience was great!

    Wow. Just wow. Will come again!! Food was good (and cheap)! I feel like this place isn't getting the credit it deserves. Locals love it
    Marilyn V.

    So good!!! Glad I went even after I saw some of the bad reviews on yelp. Highly recommend you're it for yourself!!!!!!

    Unfortunately, our experience at El Platanal was a bit disappointing. The food was good, but…read morenothing really stood out enough to make up for the service, which was definitely lacking during our visit. At first, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were short staffed, but that did not seem to be the case. The amount of time between ordering drinks, receiving appetizers, and finally getting our meals was simply too long. There were stretches where we were left waiting without much communication or attention from the staff, which took away from the overall experience. On the positive side, the restaurant itself is very nicely designed and has a great atmosphere that fits perfectly with the laid back, tropical lifestyle of Puerto Rico. It is an inviting space and definitely looks like a place where you would expect to have a great local dining experience. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but the slow and inattentive service kept the experience from being what it could have been. Hopefully we just caught them on an off night.

    Talk about great food and service!…read more Although there's always a line to get in, it does move pretty quickly. Our server was very friendly and accommodating, especially since we were travelling with our child. The manager was also very accommodating and friendly. The menu is fairly simple. You choose a dish and 2 sides. First night, we ordered the blood sausage for an appetizer. I ordered the fried chicken with rice and beans as an entree. My husband ordered the mero (grouper). Surprisingly, the blood sausage was probably the best one I've tried so far. The chicken was fried perfectly, not greasy at all. The rice and beans perfect compliments to the dish. The grouper stole the show though. It was absolutely delicious, probably one of the best fish I've ever had. A few days after, we decided to have dinner here again after my son wanted to eat there. The waiter from the first night and manager recognized us (from the time before) and thanked us for coming back. This time, I ordered the mero with arroz con habichuelas. The grouper was even better than the 1st time I had ordered it. We also tried the juices (orange, passion fruit, tamarind, and soursop) and all of them were so fresh. We loved this place and wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

    Food is a 4, however, since I only had the tasting menu, this is not conclusive…read more Service is 5, the staff was kind, prompt, nothing to complain about Ambiance is 4 family restaurant vibe, menu is on the wall Wish: wish they have more sauce options on the table, ie: hot sauce

    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.
