And I'm all about supporting LOCAL women owned businesses! These locals work so hard to make ends meet. We need to ALL support these local vendors when we travel.

I ordered the Pabellón and OMG--so good. Packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and a crunchy exterior that held everything together beautifully. The filling of shredded beef, beans, sweet plantains, and cheese was absolutely amazing and well-balanced in every bite. If you're looking for delicious food, good music, and an authentic, low-key spot that delivers big on flavor, Los Chamos Arepas is a must-try. Some cute photo opps with a photo bomb of their extinguisher. Lol.

For that reason, I'd recommend going at an off time for lunch because it was great! They were out of a few items, but I ended up with a pork chop with guava sauce and it was so good. They were also sadly out of the tres leches cake but I popped back in later that week as they were closing and were thrilled they had some left. That may have been the best tres leches I've ever had. The drinks were also delicious! We'll definitely return next time we're in PR.

This casual restaurant is a fun dinner stop with open air dining (not so good on a hot day though)…read more We went early at 5pm and avoided crowds. The restaurant filled up before we left. We went with the waitress's recommended dishes - Mofongo Churrasco (steak) and Mamposteao Tacu Tacu with grilled shrimp. Flavors were strong and a bit on the salty side, but delicious. We enjoyed both dishes. The Mamposteao Tacu Tacu has a long fancy name but it was rice and beans topped with skirt steak. The sangria was the happy hour cocktail of the night, very refreshing.

They had outdoor seating available, but we opted for indoor. The staff was friendly and the place had a nice vibe. We happened to be there on the day(Thursdays) that they have 2 for $10 sangrias, so I helped myself to a pair. I got a strawberry and a passion fruit and they were both delicious. The menu had a nice variety and was vegetarian-friendly, so I was happy about that. I decided on the veggie empanada and the salmon empanada. Both were hot, delicious and authentic. I'm a big salmon fan, but I ended up like the vegetable empanada more. That thing was packed with flavor! I wanted to try the veggie sandwich, but was too full to eat it for lunch so I got it to go. The sandwich was good as well, but I ate it later so it wasn't fresh. The only negative thing I can think of is the time that it took to get our food. Once I saw how tasty the empandads were, I wanted to take some back to the boat with me, but it would have been too late. I think we waited for about 20 mins for our food and another 10-15 to get our checks. Other than that, the experience was great and the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out.
