The veggies cooked with chicken were flavorful. The home made hot sauce (upper right part of picture) is medium-hot and flavorful. The server (owner)brought the food very quickly.

Highly recommend mofongo mero and arroz mamposteado. The drinks ALL of them were top notch. Plus lots of beautiful photo ops around the restaurant. Can't wait to come back!

For being away from the city, we were immediately immersed when we were welcomed in English, making the experience of ordering exciting for the English only speakers on the group. The food is to beyond expectations, flavors are to die for! The portions are filling, and let me tell you, the ambience is very authentic. We ordered quite the variety, everything from the well garlic'ed mofongo...a personal favorite of mine at Star Light El Original! The steak was tender and full of flavor, the salads were classic Boriqua style, served with seasoned MayoKetchup. The platanos were cooked fresh, just the right amount of salt and seasoning! The French Fries ordered were a concerned hit and miss, especially since they are not a traditional Puerto Rican item...turned out amazing! I can't say enough great things about this place, the distance from the city made it an adventure to get to, the kindness and bilingualism of the staff made it something unique and the landscape...enjoying your meal in an open air environment while listening to coqui's and nature, memorial!

La carretera un poco peligrosa pero allí legamos. La comida estaba muy bien, servicio excelente (las muchachas que nos atendieron se esmeraron mucho en su trabajo). Precios de la comida muy razonables (en general entre $15 y $30 por plato) y las bebidas también. Lo único que me sorprendió (negativamente) fue el precio exorbitado de lo que ellos llaman "crème brulé" y que en realidad era una crema catalana (ambas son muy parecidas, pero la consistencia del "crème brulé" es menos solida que el de la crema catalana, (yo he vivido en Paris y en Barcelona y conozco bien la diferencia). Mientras el precio de otros postres fluctuaba entre $4 y $5, el precio del crème brulé fue $8.50. La créma estaba buena pero no era extraordinaria ni la porción muy grande (quizás 3 onzas) para justificar ese precio (y el precio no estaba explicito en el menú tampoco). We were in Maricao and we wanted to have lunch at a Puerto Rican food place and we had been told good things about the Casona de Artemio in Las Marías. The road is a little dangerous but we went there. The food was very good, service excellent (the girls who served us worked very hard). Very reasonable food prices (generally between $15 and $30 per dish) and drinks were affordable too. The only thing that surprised me (negatively) was the exorbitant price of what they call "crème brulé" and that was a Catalan cream (both are very similar, but the consistency of "crème brulé" is less solid than that of the Catalan cream, (I have lived in Paris and Barcelona, and I know the difference well). While the price for other desserts fluctuated between $4 and $5, the price of the crème brulé was $8.50. The cream was good but not extraordinary nor was the portion big (maybe 3 ounces) to justify that price (and the price wasn't explicit on the menu either).

Overall, one of my favorite spots to visit when I come to the island.
