My (then fiancé now husband) and I first came here years ago, when tourism was just starting to…read morewarm back up after Covid. I'd booked us a snorkel and bio bay tour in town and we'd driven hours to get here from San Juan (amateur mistake but a happy accident since we got to discover a new part of the island!) we needed a spot that was still serving dinner before the long drive back home and found La Jamaca by chance. The pretty lights in the pool and laidback vibe were so welcoming, and then the food-- all authentic Puerto Rican fare made incredibly well-- really sealed the deal. We decided on that night to get married on the island, which happened six months later (though closer to SJU just to simplify for my side of the family.) We have been visiting the island regularly ever since, but only made our way back to this side this weekend, since we were planning to see in laws in Lares the next day and this would be closer than the East side where we were, so we got to eat here AND spend the night at last. I was worried maybe I was rewriting it through a nostalgic lens but when our food came out -- wow. It was JUST as delicious as I remembered. You cannot beat this place for perfectly prepared, heaping portions of delicious Puerto Rican cuisine. They started us out with a complimentary cup of plantain soup which was a tasty, perfect way to whey the appetite - and gave my husband strong nostalgia since it was always his grandmother's fav. We decided to split an app and entree and it wound up being more than enough food-- to be opulent we did the lobster mofongo with garlic and started with the churrasco con queso empanadas (three in an order and they're the full size, so... BIG!) The mofongo was moist and flavorful, with a ton of lobster peppered around it, cooked to garlicky perfection, and the empanadas had a gorgeous crust and flavorful chunks of steak with melty mozzerella. Everything was divine and we were so happy we got to try the food here again and that it was still so wonderful. It's off the beaten path and in a cute low key spot - but i would wager this stands up to any meal you'd get in the center of town.

My hubby had the lobster and he loved it!! It was served with the mushroom. risotto. Two members of our party had the chicken and the other two the steak. They chicken was delicious. I opted for the salad with chicken because the night before I had visited another highly rated restaurant in San German and I was so disappointed by what it passed for a salad there. Roberto's salad had fresh greens and subtle flavors. Chicken cooked and flavored to perfection. It was delicious! We ended with two sample desserts: flan and carrot cake. We left happy and satisfied to get this fine dinning experience in Cabo Rojo. Bravo. Roberto. May you continue to hone n your craft and offer this quality food for years to come.

When I pointed it out, the waiter said they're supposed to be like that. Between the long wait, undercooked food, and the way everything was handled, the customer service was terrible. This place was recommended by family and I regret coming. I won't be back and I won't recommend it.

Unfortunately the plastic chair I sat on was not safe and it broke and I fell down with the chair. I did not hurt myself badly, just shock. A customer that was eating at the next table offered me a metal chair from his table. I noticed that most of the chairs were worn and torn, so when I ask for the manager to let him know about it, he was not available. A staff member ask me if I was ok but did not apologized or mentioned that the chairs were in bad condition. We left the premises after paying the bill without being treated with common courtesy from them. FYI. Even though the following does not refer to aforementioned, a frequent customer that witnessed the incident, yelled that I was nothing but an American looking for a legal case.
