    Mojo isleno& churrasco (skirt steak). Very tasty. Wait staff very nice and patient as we did not speak fluent Spanish

    Mofongo with chicken

    Great service. Ok food. Stopped here on our drive for a quick lunch. Food took about 20 mins to arrive while we ordered some fresh lime mojitos. Mofongo with chicken - rating 3/5 - it was an ok dish, we asked for some hot sauce to add some flavor to eat it Al dorado - rice dish with Mahi mahi - rating 3/5 - The rice that was served was nice and flavorful with some mixed veggies but the fish was a 1 star. It was chewy, not seasoned and I struggled to finish it Even though there were language problems the staff helped us and was attentive.

    We went for a day visit to Ponce. The star attraction for us was a mixology' class at Don Q, which I highly recommend. After getting our drink on we went in search of lunch. Sabor y Rumba is an outdoor restaurant. The tables are in a courtyard which, despite the heat, were very cool and breezy. They have lunch specials. 2 of us ordered lunch specials and 3 ordered monfongo. The timing of the delivery resulted in the two lunch special eaters finishing their food before the rest of us were served. They should've held back the lunch special delivery until the monfongo was done. The food was good. Everything was well seasoned. The lunch special serving was a little on the smaller side and those two wish they had ordered the monfongo. Although one of the servings came without the sauce and salad. We spoke with our server and it was quickly brought out. Overall a very pleasant meal in a nice location close to the main plaza.

    My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed Sabor y Rumba! We dined in Wednesday evening, and there was one other customer enjoying beers. The female working there was so patient and kind. We highly recommend the churrasasco Al grill and mofongos rellenos cerdo! I had the cerdo as leftover the next day, and it was just as tasty! Beautiful little atmosphere. Kind staff, clean establishment.

    Amazing vibe. Drinks are delicious and the service WOW A+. The food was amazing, fresh, hot and so delicious! The seating is in an outdoor courtyard with live tropical music and tons of fans blowing to keep you cool! Not sure if there are any restrooms

    Had a great dinner at Sabor y Rumba. We somewhat surprised them with a big group and they did a great job of taking care of everyone with what looked to be limited staff. Food was delicious and highly recommend!

    Really good food and quick service! I enjoyed my meal of fish and garlic Parmesan potatoes and (of course) a Corona. The place wasn't super busy and they played good music. I recommend!

    Visited twice in a week full of enthusiasm for a good meal; both times they were closing early because they had no customers = not good!

    Cheap prices but tasted like cheap food especially their salad and flavorless white rice. I would not recommend.

    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!
