    Home cooked Puerto Rican food after our guided tour of the Arenelas caves. The ribs and grouper are a must try!

    Okay, you know the food is going to be good and authentic when you walk in and people don't understand you speaking English! Seriously this place has authentic Puerto Rican food and I am so glad we ended up here. I ordered half a chicken with plantains and rice and beans. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The plantains were the best. They gave a whole plantain and it was perfectly cooked and just sweet enough. The rice and beans were good too. They were so helpful and tried their best to try and explain everything to us (even though we were super confused). They were patient and kind to us. I would recommend this place if you are in the area.

    one quarter chicken

    Very popular with locals when we visited at lunch. Authentic traditional Puerto Rican staples with their super tender BBQ chicken at the center. Shared a quarter chicken with rice and beans. If my Spanish was better, would have loved to try other items on the menu. Ordering is done by going down the line, letting them know what you'd like. Best rice and beans we had on the whole island.

    Omggg this place is so good. Our Puerto Rican guide took us here to eat and the food is super…read moreauthentic casual puerto rican food and so delicious. Service is fast and it's a nice family owned place. If you wanna skip the tourist crap and try real food come here!!

    Food was very good. The pork belly ( lechón con cuerito) melted in your mouth literally. And the…read moreskin was hard and crunchy like it's supposed to be. The seasoning on the meat was exact. True Puerto Rican cooking. I ordered some rice and pigeon peas (gandules) with the pork belly, some alcapurrias ( fried plantain fritters stuffed with meat) and a side order of carne frita ( fried cube sliced pieces of pork) with a malta ( non alcoholic Puerto Rican drink made with barley and sugar). Amazing!! The service was fast and staff was very friendly. The place came highly recommended on numerous social media platforms and didn't disappoint. The music in the background was perfect as it added to the overall ambiance. Great local authentic spot that not only caters to locals but welcomes tourists. They have a bar also. Right on the side of the main road right off the highway. Everyone seemed to be having a good time eating, chilling and living the good life. A definite must stop if you are visiting Puerto Rico or just looking for a good authentic Puerto Rican place to eat. Well worth the hype!!
