The food was very good. The cornbread dessert was amazing. Not what you would expect and the service was great

Unfortunately this was my least favorite restaurant in the area. I should've listened to the other…read morereviews that said they treat the patrons like tourists. When I asked for recommendations, he immediately recommended the lobster. I immediately knew I was on my own. I ended up ordering the fish tacos and they were flavorless and underwhelming. The tortillas came soggy. The sides were cheese and sour cream which I found very odd. Unfortunately I couldn't even finish half the meal. I also ordered the mojito flight. It was ok but extremely sugary. I was so disappointed and almost ruined my night. Unfortunately I do not recommend :(

Come with me to Palo Restaurant located in Isabella, Puerto Rico. One of my friends came across…read morePalo restaurant while looking for dinner options for us, and given my nickname, Palo is an easy decision. We started with Jugo de Parcha, and since it was our last night, I also had a drink: their Version of an espresso martini made with rum, which was really good. We had Sorullos for appetizers, which were authentically and deliciously made. My friends had the carne frita with arroz y habichuelas for their mains, and I had the Mofongo de carne frita. I loved the mofongo; it had great texture and flavor, and the carne frita was good. Overall, Palo was amazing. The service was extremely kind and attentive. The ocean breeze and view are a great complement to the food. I would definitely visit again.

Came here with some friends last night and the food was phenomenal!…read more After a day on the beach a poke bowl just sounded so nice, light and refreshing and this one was perfect! I opted for the coconut mahi as my protein and omg it was so good! If you like coconut shrimp this is right up your alley. They let you top the bowl off with as many toppings as you'd like off their list. I have to admit I decided to go with almost all and they all worked so well together. The veggies brought a nice crunch while the fruit gave it that sweetness it needed. The price was super reasonable as well. My boyfriend got the mahi pinchos with fries and he loved it. I did sneak a few fries and they were so nice and crispy and had a truffle flavor to them I wasn't expecting! Our server was super nice too. I cant wait to come back!

I usually do not write reviews, but this time I felt obligated to…read more I have been eating here at least once a week since I moved to the area back in June '25. The food is quite tasty; however, their service sucks big time. They just hired a new manager with very poor customer service skills, which left me with a bad experience overall. Last week, I ordered a simple wrap, and after an hour, I was still waiting. I told the manager, and he said it was coming after he packed several to-go orders. I went inside to check, and they dismissed me, never checking my order back in the kitchen. I had no choice but to leave the place, and I plan never to go back. So sad cause they lost a steady weekly customer.
