We were a group of 5 and ordered vegetable mofongo, shrimp mofongo, the pasta special of the day, an empanadillas, tostones, and a chicken burger with bacon and fries that looked like it came from a gastropub. It was so good, the birthday gal ordered 2 addl empanadillas to go for another meal at home! When Monique learned it was a birthday, she even brought out a beautiful complimentary flan, which she had made! Everything was delightful and delicious. And the prices are much more reasonable than many of the "tourist towns". Aguirre has a unique history and many historic buildings are scattered throughout the town. Stop for lunch or dinner and walk around and the nature trails and center are great (and free).

Honestly, I'd suggest a hard pass as they're many other great options around town.

Gorgeous view of the ocean and you can see the sunset if you go around 5 pm. The service was excellent, fast and efficient . We order one jar of Sangria and beers. The sangria was exquisite , not too strong or light. Food *Salmorejo de Jueyes - 5 of 5, Puerto Rican Salmorejo de Jueyes is a treat for anyone who loves crab. You can eat it with white rice , fried plantains or mofongo. * Chicken Mofongo - 5 of 5 , Mofongo itself is a dumpling made from lightly fried plantains, garlic, and pork rinds - it is full of flavor, and not overly dense or dry. You can order Mofongo with shrimps, beef or anything you like. Its a great restaurant to visit if you are near Salinas. They have free parking and you have the option to seat inside with AC or outside with a beautiful ocean view.

Por suerte pedimos varios aperitivos y estuvieron tan malos que no llegamos a ordenar nada más para almorzar. Empezamos pidiendo un caldo de pescado, parecía grasa pero estaba aguao' aguao' y soso, malo. También pedimos un coctél de carrucho, por $16.99 literal solo tenía 7 pedazos de carrucho pequeñitos y el resto era lechuga mojada con el picadillo de cebolla y pimiento, de sabor, nada espectacular. Los camarones al ajillo, que son imposibles de dañar, no sabían a nada y parecían hervidos (hasta tenían la espumita blanca por encima), hubiera querido pedir sal pero la joven no salía a atendernos; los tostones parece que habían estado sumergidos en aceite frío por varios minutos, así que también fueron imposibles de comer, y por último los chicharrones de pescado, más bien parecían haber frito una tilapia, con un poquito de mayo-ketchup nos lo pudimos tragar pero no era un buen filetito de pescado. En fin, lo único bueno fueron las cervezas porque ni el jugo de toronja tenía sabor. El servicio fatal, ni a cobrarnos se acercaban a la mesa así que tuvimos que ir personalmente a la caja. Un lugar muy bonito, solo necesita unos nuevos cocineros (porque chefs no deben ser) y empleados que disfruten y valoren su trabajo.

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.

Solid choice as the guava sauce was memorable. La arepas de coconut. Solid. The fish empanadas were great. Definitely order those. But calamari was chewy and overcooked. I'd pass on this. Cocktails were amazing. Spicy margarita is spicy!! I had a mojito which was delicious. You won't go wrong with any cocktail. Server was great. He did mention to me that we should order soon as the kitchen will get busy. We waited as we were enjoying our dinner. (We didn't have any problems) I'd go back. I'd also suggest sticking to your plan. It's your evening and don't let service control the experience. At the end of it...you control the tip = thank you.

There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors; we opted to sit outside since the AC inside was a bit too cold. Definitely worth checking out for a relaxed meal and solid cocktails.
