    You can eat outside or inside. They get you seated very quickly. Maybe a little bit more expensive but worth it! The servers are very good at what they do and always are hustling. The place is clean and the coffee is great. We ate there 2 times in 6 days.

    Great little brunch spot in Ocean Park right next to Loiza Street Station. Open air seating for larger groups. Service is welcoming and fast. Prices reasonable and menu varied. Coffee was good, from cappuccino to mocha, plus a booze menu. We actually split a huge Monte Cristo sandwich, that was sliced and stacked. Though they seemed to have made French toast, then put the sandwich together rather than dip it in egg and fry it. Cheese was not fully melted and sides were open. Also it's usually dusted in powdered sugar and served with a side of fruit or potatoes. They also had their own branded avocado hot sauce which was tasty. Great for people watching!

    I found this place on the Yelp app where we were staying nearby and the options/ menu looked wonderful so we decided to give it a try. This restaurant is very popular. We had to wait about 25 minutes before we seated. The food is fresh and the service is terrific. The menu is moderately priced. I must add that they have homemade guava butter and it was so delicious. I've never had that before. You must try it unfortunately they don't sell it. My husband and I liked it so much. We went back the next week.

    "Had an amazing experience at Lela's! The service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and Jamal made us feel truly welcomed from start to finish. The food was just as impressive--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!"

    Super cool brunch spot in Puerto Rico! The food was delish and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed it, they ended up playing live music in the afternoon so it was a vibe, I would def come back.

    Firstly, the staff here is so friendly! The decor is good and the food is even better. Everything tasted fresh and everyone at the table ordered something different and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. I personally ordered the VICTORIA'S EGGS BENEDICT and it was heavenly. The table got the FRENCH TOAST GUAYABA-QUESO to share and we had no words, literally. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend coming here and my friends and I are 100% coming back. Also, not sure if this is still a thing because it's been a while since we've been here, but they used to have bottomless mimosas on Weds and Fri!

    This was the PERFECT birthday treat! Shoutout to Chris, our waiter, for his excellent service and recommendations. We started off the morning with lattes and coffee and both were brewed well! For starters, we tried the Amarillo y chorizo homemade croquetts and honey, these are to die for! Main dish: I ordered the guava-cheese French toast and my boyfriend ordered the Jimmy churrasco and eggs. Listen well, the portions are HUGE! My French toast immediately filled me up after a few bites and I had to tap out. The flavors added to this French toast, makes it one of the best I've ever had! And yes, you're able to taste the fresh guava and cream cheese in each bite! Omg, I'm excited just thinking back. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his dish and like me, he had leftovers. We concluded the meal both stuffed yet satisfied! A true description of how amazing this food is and how likely you are to enjoy your dish! I highly recommend this place to anyone.

    Now this wait took forever. The staff was super kind but it took almost an hour before we were seated we had a large groups I don't recommend going with more than 4 people in order to not have to wait a long time to seat and eat. The food was good, not life changing but it was good. We enjoyed our time once we had our food. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating.

    This is a tough one. Walk up and they're jam packed. I do my normal move and peep the bar. She says the bar isn't open and the wait is 40 mins. She was very welcoming and friendly. I said cool I can wait. My table was ready in about 20 minutes. I did notice at one point when I looked up that there were several people at the bar, not sure what happened there maybe they opened it while I ate. Vibe was cool, I don't remember much tbh but it was good brunch vibes. Got coffee, it was good. Got juice of half orange and half passion fruit. It was really good. I got the chorizo and Amarillo (plantains) croquettes. Super yummy. Where things fell short was the eggs. It came with potatoes and toast, those were both good along with the jam (guava maybe I don't remember). I preferred scrambled eggs and they were pretty awful. I bet if I ordered something else it would have been better. These were sub-par. They just fried up some eggs and broke them up in the pan, it seems. Overcooked too. I don't like soft eggs so you can cook them a lot before I complain. These had that burned egg taste. Also, and I could be trippin, but they didn't taste particularly fresh. But maybe that was just the overcooked flavor. I didn't really eat them after a couple bites. So all in all, it was fine. There were some highlights. But I would not add this to my list if I were you. You only get a few breakfasts while on vacay, and I don't think this is it. I won't come back on purpose, but also wouldn't make a point to avoid it. 3.5 stars.

    12/10! They get you in and out! Servers speak English! Food was DELICIOUS! Chicken and waffles, steak and eggs. Potatoes was bomb! Was not quiet but wasn't too loud, outside and inside seating. They get you in and out with good food. Walking distance from the beach!

    Food Was delicious. Definitely, try the tuna tacos, some of the best. The wings and sangria are delicious. Service was great, and food came fast for our group of 8; with no reservations.

    They keep you hostage after ordering food. We waited more than an hour for the food to come out of the kitchen.
