Claridad has written about it, many songs mention it, and it even joined Facebook. La Naza, a…read morechinchorro, a term to describe something like a net. So I'm guessing it catches everyone and everything that comes by. Located in Dulces Labios (AKA Sweet Lips Hills), La Naza is a family owned business for the past 60+ years and it has been axis of culture for the city of Mayaguez.
Don Ramon, aka Jack Palance, because he is always spiffy and sharp, will welcome you and make sure you have the time of your life, treat you like family. He will also prepare some yummy empanadillas (fried turnovers) filled with fresh crabmeat (yeap poor little blue crabs he feeds corn for weeks and then boil them, is that considered animal abuse?) or shrimp with a homemade mojo (tomato/sofrito based sauce).
Cold beers, simple drinks, fresh coconut water, and Anis/Clove Chichaito are waiting for you.
La Naza honors our culture: art, bomba, plena, and family! You might also find Pita Marti wandering around... If you don't know who he is don't be afraid to ask...
