A good sized parking lot and they have indoor and outdoor seating. We were greeted by Abnier who was our server and bartender. He told us inside was extremely hot, it would be better to sit outside by the fan- which we did. We did peak on the inside and it was lit up nicely and they had a tree right in the center- which was pretty cool. Abnier was very kind and attentive. We had gotten passion fruit drinks, which were delicious! I might say the menu is extremely limited and a little different tastings from what I'm used to when I come to Puerto Rico. I got the fried cheese with guava sauce underneath it was pretty good. Overall I liked my meal, the meal I originally wanted they didn't have, so that was a bummer so I just got the appetizer as a meal instead, so I was still hungry right after the fact. But it would've been nice to sit inside and enjoy it. Would I come back here probably not. But I did enjoy my time.

The shrimps were huge and well cooked. I prefer a smooth consistency to mofongo and this was on the chunkier side but the flavor absolutely made up for it. The portion was huge and we had leftovers of this. The seafood cazuela was even better than the mofongo. The sauce was amazing - similar to a tomato rosé. I wish there were more scallops in this dish, it was mostly mussels and shrimp. However still super good and I'd definitely recommend this.

My last meal before my departure was good. I had the or hugs de pollo with rice, beans, Mofongo and Tostones.. the Chicken was good. Nice flavor.. Mofongo was good as well.. Rice worked too.. Hard to mess that up.. The tostones were a bit soft.. I personally like mine a lil crispy.. a bit thinner/flatter but they were cool.. service was on point as usual. Very nice staff. As far as ambiance, it's a basic, dimly lit spot.. Didn't hear any music in the background. Just some patrons enjoying their meals. It's was a nice experience and good meal. If you're looking for a good and convenient spot for some Puerto Rican food give them a try. Have a good one yall! -Ray

To provide some context for the story I'm about to tell, I need to explain why a white Anglo-Saxon…read moreProtestant from the beautiful state of Kentucky came to find himself in the tropical paradise known as Puerto Rico. I happen to be a member of a church, which I will not name, in my home state. Said church happened to be providing a one-week youth mission trip with a reputable Christian organization. I was on that trip. It was the fifth night of our journey when my group walked into a restaurant, the sign above the door displaying the name "Metropol" in bold lettering. This establishment was night and day compared to the first restaurant we happened to dine at. To start, Metropol's interior design was elegant--dark colors, well-placed lighting, and walls tastefully adorned with photos and artwork of the island's various attractions. By contrast, Vaca Brava (located in Old San Juan) was rowdy, reminiscent of a Texas Roadhouse in the most unaesthetic and tasteless way imaginable. Other differences included the wait time, prices, and food quality, all of which were significantly better at Metropol. It was within the walls of Metropol that I had the fourth life-changing dining experience of my life, and the most spectacular detail is this: it wasn't even my food. No, though the dish I ordered (in fluent Spanish) was worthy of five stars, the sandwich that changed my life was ordered by Xavier. Any additional information about Xavier is irrelevant to the story. All you need to know is that, for the low price of five dollars, Xavier sold me a fairly large piece of el sandwich de bistec--a sandwich listed only in Spanish and tucked away in the "Special" section of the menu. I truly believe that if I were to detail the full breadth and depth of the flavor that entered my body the moment my teeth punctured that soft bread, I would need to write more than any man has ever written. The combination of steak, cheese, and who knows what else that lay within the masterpiece I was tasting was enough to convince me that it could not have been crafted by human hands, no matter how gifted. No, this sandwich was something else entirely--something I can only describe as divine. One bite was enough to make me close my eyes and sink back into my chair. The world fell still around me, and suddenly, everything was dark. I drifted through this void for what felt like hours before noticing something bright swiftly approaching. As it drew nearer, I realized what it was: me. Or rather, me before entering Metropol. I watched myself for hours as I went about my daily tasks, living the only life I had ever known. This vision of myself gradually began to fade, quickly giving way to what I can only imagine was my future self. In that moment, I realized that everything in my life had been leading up to this experience and that everything in my future had been decided by the simple fact that my youth leader chose to take us to this specific restaurant. When I finally floated back into the body of my former self, there was no food left on my plate. I will never forget this place. It has changed my life, and I hope it changes the life of whosoever happens to stumble upon this review. Overall, pretty good food and fast service. Five stars.

I ordered the chef's special, carne guisada with arroz con habichuelas. The carne was so tender, falling apart with every bite, and bursting with flavors. When paired with the rice and beans, it reminded me of home--whoever's abuelita is in the back needs a raise! The piña colada I had paired perfectly with the food, adding a refreshing touch to the meal. Overall, I highly recommend going here before stepping out into La Placita. I guarantee you'll be happy, full, and ready for the night out!
