Yelp reviews brought me here…read more Unfortunately, they were out of four of the beef dishes on the menu that sparked my interest. They were completely out of beef. I've been eating pork for days, so that was not an option, and I really didn't want chicken nor fish. However, the waitress told me one of the chicken dishes was very good so I tried it. I had an appetizer and a cocktail. They were fine. For the entree, I had chicken breast with a creamy garlic sauce, served with seasoned rice mixed with beans. The rice was flavorful, but it was not warm, not heated thoroughly. The chicken lacked depth of flavor. It was cooked plain with a garlic sauce poured on top and a few slices of red sweet peppers. Service was fine. The waitress was very friendly and asked how everything was. I told her the rice was not warm. She offered to fix it. However, I lost my appetite. Casual dining atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre. Maybe is was a bad night, not sure. I'm on vacation, so I will not return.

Wonderful fried grouper and a good tater sauce. The masonry rice was a first and it is fantastic. I got the empanado en plantano, grouper breaded with plantain and served with rum and coconut sauce. The grouper by itself is delicious. So if you get this order the sauce on the side, it's cake frosting sweet, you only need a little layer, then this dish is amazing. You can eat the rest of the sauce like a dessert. We order a Terraza Sunrise to share, good thing case there is a stiff pour of rum and liquor, good to share or pour into a sprite!? Only issue is the Diet Coke was mixed wrong so we switched to sprite. It's an open air dining space that is covered, music from the bar/club next door is in the background. I order rice and beans for my side, very yummy and different from the masonary rice, they look nearly identical but they taste different.

De las peores experiencias que he tenido fue en este restaurante.

Todo era un dolor de cabeza; incluso tuvimos que levantarnos varias veces de la mesa para solicitar cosas básicas. Si le pudiera dar menos de una estrella lo haría. Para comenzar, se ordenaron unas tiritas de pollo con arroz y habichuelas para los niños, las cuales tardaron aproximadamente una hora en llegar. Durante ese tiempo preguntamos en múltiples ocasiones por el estado de la comida y no recibimos respuestas claras. Luego pedimos aperitivos: 2 tuna tartar, 2 pulpos y 1 chorizo al vino. Estos tardaron alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos en llegar, algo totalmente inaceptable para platos relativamente sencillos. Además, trajeron dos platos que nunca fueron ordenados. La situación empeoró con los platos principales. Se ordenó un rib eye término medium rare y llegó "well done". El acompañante, un supuesto arroz mamposteao, era simplemente arroz con color y habichuelas, sin ninguna preparación adecuada. El chillo fresco llegó seco y frío. En otras palabras, no tenía sabor. Los dos mofongos (uno de camarones y otro de pollo) también llegaron completamente fríos. El risotto de langosta fue lo único aceptable, aunque el sabor no destacaba y la porción de langosta no llegaba ni a 6 oz. Las carnes fritas con tostones estaban completamente quemadas. Todo esto tardó más de una hora adicional, sin ninguna justificación, y aun así la comida llegó en malas condiciones. En ningún momento se nos informó sobre el retraso ni recibimos disculpas. Estábamos ubicados en el segundo piso y tuve que bajar personalmente a solicitar hablar con un gerente. La única excusa que nos dio fue que había mucho volumen de clientes y poco personal, lo cual no es cierto, ya que cuando llegamos solo había entre 3 y 4 mesas ocupadas; el restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío. Lamentablemente, la experiencia no mejoró con el segundo intento de los platos. El rib eye llegó en el término correcto, pero extremadamente duro, como si no hubiera sido preparado adecuadamente. El mofongo de la cumpleañera estaba duro y sin sabor, y el resto de los platos continuaban con los mismos problemas. Para colmo, en la mesa no había servilletas, los cubiertos eran escasos y, al final, nos entregaron cubiertos plásticos para comer churrasco. Es muy triste, porque el lugar es bonito, pero el servicio y la calidad de la comida no están a la altura en lo absoluto. Lo que se supone que fuera una celebración terminó siendo un completo fiasco. Da hasta coraje

One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone.

We stopped here on the road between Ponce and San Juan, and since we didn't have a lot of time, we…read moredidn't wander too far down the Ruta del Lechon (Pork Highway). This place is right on the main highway, it's huge and packed so plan accordingly: we arrived before noon on a Friday, so we probably got one of the last parking spots (there's a guy managing or charging in the parking lot? not sure) and the line was manageable. A large group and some buses showed up after us, so it got really crowded! Anyway, we had a short line, had no idea what we were doing to order (I should have researched better) but pointed and nodded, and with some help from the nice people in line, ended up with two huge platters of pork, rice and some other sides - way more food that we probably needed. The food: delicious! I would say our #2 favorite meal in Puerto Rico, after Marmalade (but that was more than 10x the price!) The pork was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and the crackling was to die for! I wish they would package those and sell them - probably only good fresh, though. Rice and sides were adequate: my son tried to be healthy and said the salad and potatoes were ok, but you're really there for the pork. Cost etc.: we paid less than $50 for 2 enormous plates of food and some sodas. It was enough for 3 lunch servings, plus enough leftovers for 2 people to have the rest for dinner - so I guess 5 servings? The wait was not bad early on a weekday, but they must get incredibly overrun on weekends. It is entertaining to see the pork cooking on a spit (please don't come if you are vegetarian and sensitive to such things) and watch them hacking away with machetes. My husband wondered if the machetes are the same once used for sugar cane!

During our trip to Puerto Rico, we made a stop at a lechónera- a restaurant that serves lechón (one…read moreof PR's unofficial national dishes), which is a whole, slow-roasted pig. This restaurant is just one of many open-air roadside spots that serve lechón along "La Ruta del Lechón", aka the "pork highway" in Guavate. We got a half pound of lechon along with Mamposteao, which was delicious and filling. The pork skin hit a level of shatteringly crispy texture that I have never had from non-fried pork skin. We came later in the day, which unfortunately meant that the pork was slightly dried out. However, the texture and flavor of the lechón was absoutely delicious. It's a "build your own box" style restaurant where you choose which sides you want on the dipslay. Besides the mamposteao there were also other delicious-looking sides such as plantains/mofongo, beans, fruit, etc. There's a small parking lot outside the restaurant- one where the rule is you can only back your car into your parking space. Interesting. Would definetely come to try lechón here again!

It had a good crowd outside, which is always a good sign, and a handful of people inside. They offer a simple lunch menu, where you have an option for two sides, and a main.

The price can't be beat here, either! One word of advice, like a lot of restaurants on the island, they keep it REALLY cold inside. Our food got cold while we were eating, and it was so uncomfortable that we skipped dessert (yea, *I* skipped dessert).
