    If you have time to kill (I mean, absolutely no where to be for the rest of your day) and would…read morelike to enjoy a beautiful view of central PR, Casaju is a must stop. Unfortunately for my husband and I, we had a place to be and didn't plan on losing 3 hours of our day to Casaju. We were stuck at Casaju for so long, I got a sunburn... in the shade. I wish I was kidding. We waited about fifteen minutes for a table, and then were escorted by a very friendly manager to our table. The wait for service was proper Island time and was to be expected... but after the wait of almost TWO HOURS after ordering to get our food, Casaju put island time to shame. During our wait, my husband realized that he hadn't seen our waitress in quite some time. So long was our wait that I wondered if she went home and the restaurant forgot to make sure we got our ordered food. We didn't want to be those idiot Americans who complained about the Island time wait (we all have seen those reviews), so we sat and smiled and waited... and waited... and waited. Finally, our waitress reappeared and brought our food. At this point, I had gone beyond hungry, hangry, and then starving, and had now reached a full blown loss of appetite. Typically, when food is SO late to arrive, you would anticipate that it is freshly cooked due to a delayed kitchen trying to catch up... our plates were burning hot, like they had been sitting under a warmer for the last hour. Yikes. The ribs I ordered were very good, but pretty fatty and oddly missing the bones- my sour stomach could only handle three ribs before I had to tap out. The rice and beans that I ordered on the side were the worst I had in PR. Two wild dogs joined us on the patio, keeping us all company as we waited another thirty minutes for the check. We left running to the car, very sad to have lost the day to a mediocre meal... but I was even more sad to realize that I had been sitting in the shade for so long that the indirect Puerto Rican sun had burnt my entire body to a bright red crisp. This is a spot to skip.

    I personally only wanted to come here to buy coffee beans and to get a caffeinated drinks although…read moreI know that they offer coffee tours as well. It's a nice place to visit. They have a big field with coffee fruit bushes in the distance. They have a nice photo op. The store features a cafe with seating outdoors. They sell pastries and of course coffee. They do sell speciality coffees. I personally got to try their strawberry shortcake drink. I also got to buy coffee beans. Unfortunately they didn't feature roast dates on the bags. The staff was well informed about what bags to buy for what notes/tastes you prefer. It's a nice detour for anything coffee related.

    Hacienda Muñoz is set in a truly beautiful location, surrounded by mountains with a classic…read morehacienda-style layout that gives the whole place a relaxed, scenic vibe. There's even a small coffee shop area off to the side, which adds to the charm. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout. We sat in the first dining area (there's apparently a second section as well), just to have drinks and some appetizers, and overall the experience started off well. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights here. That said, there was a significant issue with the food. The chicken wings we ordered were served with visible hair/feather remnants still on them, even after being fried. That's not just a small oversight; it's a basic food preparation and quality control issue that shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, the setting and service make this a place with a lot of potential, but attention to detail in the kitchen, especially cleanliness and proper preparation, needs improvement.

    Given more days in Luqillo, I would return every day to try all their food…read more I started with the arepas de coco - very well fried, soft, doughy puffs complemented with a guava sauce. They were addictive, it was hard to not eat all of them. They would also be a good dessert - reminiscent of beignets, but with less oil and sugar. For main I had the churrasco skirt steak with rice of the day. It was a generous portion of steak topped with a delicious churrasco fragrant with garlic. The rice was well seasoned and perfectly cooked texture. Server was enthusiastic about the food and providing suggestions. Though I suspect everything on the menu is delicious. Guests at all the tables around me raved about their meals. Indoor seating is cozy and comfortable. There's a small bar with counter seating.

    We stopped at La Fonda for an early lunch, and we are so glad we did. The service was amazing, and…read morethe food was even better! The decor is very Puerto Rican, and the vibe was perfect! It wasn't too busy, so we were able to chat with our server about local places to check out. We ordered the Can-Can pork with the rice and beans. Soooo good! Also, my drink was beautiful and tasty! Definitely stop in and see them if you're ever on the island!
