I ordered the tenderloin filete mofongo mixto (tenderloin steak, mushrooms, onions, red peppers and green peas over mofongo in a brown gravy). Truly delicious!! My husband got the Pechuga Rellena (chicken cordon bleu) and it was the best one we have ever had. Finished up with a tres leches and cortado and could not be happier to have come to La Casa del Chef for our meal! The wait staff was also lovely answering all the questions we had. Plenty of locals enjoying their meals here as well, no surprise at all given the 5 star meal we had

We are in Ponce which is as south of Puerto Rico as you can get. The Mediterranean is beautiful and…read morewarm. Tablas is in the center of town. Parking is impossible so be prepared to walk. Also the roads are extremely narrow. Take it slow. Tablas had tables situated in a large room. The place has a cozy feel and the service is friendly. I believe they speak very little English. But that's not a problem. Plus the place is extremely clean. I ordered the stuffed avocado with octopus. And again must have my Puerto Rican rice and beans. Sofrito is the secret. In fact they even sell their own sofrito here. I really wanted to give a good review but right now we have waited over 25 minutes and counting. We have a flight to catch in 20 minutes and must drive 2 hours in order to make it. Needless to say the service is extremely slow. So if you have time to wait then you should try Tablas. The food presentation was pretty. And I don't think I've ever tan avocado that big. The only downside besides the wait was that the octopus was a bit tough. Not some of it but all of it. The other two places I've had octopus it was soft and tender.

Located in Playa de Ponce…read more The food was really good, but I had two very young kids with me. My wife drank Don Q Rum and was charged $5 per drink. I drank coca cola at $1.99 per drink. My kids asked for shirley temples that were refilled once and I got charged $27.96 for those drinks. I spoke to the bartenders and the owner about the excessive charge and they stood by the fact that a child's drink should be $7. So my kids had an $8 hamburger kids meal and about $14 worth of Shirley temples. They called it a Jugo Natural and said that is how they had to ring it up. There is no natural juice in a sprite and granadine. They didn't care that we would not return or that we were displeased. It is unfortunate because I really like to support the Ponce Playa area. When the kids drinks were refilled, I asked if they had refills and they said "yes", but in the end didn't honor those refills. On principal, I will not go back.

The service was fine, everyone was polite enough, but it wasn't anything memorable. The biggest downside for me was the overall atmosphere. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but neither area has AC, which made it pretty uncomfortable while trying to enjoy the meal. The place felt a little underwhelming compared to other restaurants we visited on the island. Not a terrible experience by any means, but with so many amazing places to eat in Puerto Rico, I probably wouldn't return or recommend it. 5/10
