Run to this place. Run to this place. Run to this place. I had the skirt steak with mushroom gravy, rice and beans with chorizo, and breadfruit as my side vegetable -- and it did not disappoint. Every bite was packed with flavor. You could taste the chef's love of feeding people in the food, and that kind of intention makes all the difference. The flavors were bold, comforting, and beautifully done. Nothing felt rushed or ordinary. It was the kind of meal that makes you pause and say, "Now this is good." The restaurant wasn't loud at all, which made it the perfect spot for a moderately priced lunch. Great food, great atmosphere, and a meal that leaves you fully satisfied. You will not go wrong here.

Opté por la "Pasta penne en crema Carbonara". esta es una salsa clásica de la cocina italiana la cual lleva un gran número de ingredientes. La que me sirvieron fue una pasta simple de crema, con pimienta y parmesano rayado. Insípida y servida con penne qué es básicamente un codito hueco. La salsa Carbonara se sirve con pasta larga para que la salsa se adhiera a la superficie de la pasta. No es una salsa para rellenar coditos. Este desastre culinario, lo devolví a la cocina con una clara explicación y, afortunadamente, no me lo cobraron. No es un mal lugar, pero el engaño y la ignorancia no se puede aceptar.

We started with risotto balls with manchego sauce. They were fried perfectly and not greasy at all. Highly recommend you order this. We also had the empanadillas de carne and bolitas de bacalao. I don't eat bacalao but everyone at the table said it was delicious. For my main course I ate a risotto with chorizo, churrasco and mushrooms. So tasty! The churrasco was cooked perfectly. The portions are very big so plan on sharing plates. For dessert we got the tarta de guayaba. This is a must, you have to leave room for this dessert. The only complaint I have is that it is very loud but it is a small place so all sounds carry. Not the place you want to go if you are planning on having a quiet dinner. Either way, we will definitely be back!

For dessert she had the lechosa ( sp?). O don't necessarily care for it but she said it was good. Overall, we really enjoyed our dining experience, we will definitely come back again.

It is extremely important for me to share this experience. We were visiting from Downtown Miami,…read moreFL. Today, 12/22/2025, my husband and I visited La Guitarra to celebrate their anniversary. As expected during the holidays, the restaurant was very busy. Due to limited parking, we decided to place a to-go order. My husband went inside while I remained in our vehicle, which was parked briefly in front of the nearby barbershop and La Parrilla. I waited approximately one hour, which was understandable given how full the restaurant was. During this time, a man (heavyweight) from a neighboring establishment (La Parrilla and Barbershop) approached my vehicle and asked how much longer we would be parked there. I calmly explained that my husband was paying and that we were leaving shortly. I also reassured him that we were not from the area and had no intention of inconveniencing anyone. Approximately five minutes later, an older woman (damaged blonde hair, missing 3 of her teeth, poor hygiene) from a neighboring business (La Parrilla and Barbershop) aggressively approached my car and forcefully pounded on my window with a pen, demanding that I move immediately. I respectfully asked her not to touch my vehicle. She responded in an aggressive manner, stating that she "owned the parking spots" and could touch my car however she wanted. Despite repeatedly asking her to stop touching my window, she continued her hostile behavior. At that point, I felt threatened and unsafe. This incident unfortunately reflects very poorly on the neighboring establishments (La Parrilla and Barbershop) and indirectly impacts La Guitarra, despite the restaurant itself having excellent food and service. While La Guitarra was full of customers, the neighboring businesses were empty, yet their representatives displayed unnecessary hostility toward patrons. Because of this experience, we have made the difficult decision not to return (we reside in Miami, FL), solely due to the unsafe and aggressive environment created by nearby businesses. I would like to sincerely commend the gentleman directing traffic, who identified himself as a veteran. He apologized to us multiple times for the behavior we experienced and showed genuine professionalism and kindness. To the owners of La Guitarra: your food is outstanding, but unfortunately your customers are being exposed to hostile and intimidating behavior from neighboring establishments (La Parrilla and Barbershop), which overshadows an otherwise wonderful dining experience.

I wasn't sure what to expect since it was recommended to me, but let me tell you... I'll definitely be back before heading home! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was so relaxing. It's the perfect place to sit back, enjoy great food, and take in the island vibes. We ordered the Chuleta Can Can with tostones de pana, and it was absolutely delicious. We also had the filete de mero, which was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. To top it all off, we enjoyed a coconut mojito and a passion fruit mojito--both were refreshing and the perfect pairing with our meal. I also have to give a huge shout-out to our server, Michael. He was AMAZING! So friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If you stop by, definitely ask for him--you won't regret it. One thing I love most about visiting Puerto Rico every year is discovering new local restaurants and supporting our community. The food, the hospitality, and the culture never disappoint. And for my fellow parents--they also have a kids' menu, making it a great spot for the whole family! If you're visiting Puerto Rico, be sure to support the local businesses. You just might find your new favorite restaurant like I did!
