This was a surprise. Walking past all the different kiosks it's easy to feel like they all blend together. We chanced into this one, and wow are we glad we did.
So I was expecting some decent basics, like rice and beans. I was not expecting a playful inventiveness that took the food far beyond anything I've had in Puerto Rico so far. This easily could have been some random bar with a blender and a deep fryer, but instead it's fresh, delicious, and truly fun.
We ordered a caprese arepa, and out came a fantastic caterpillar creature. The execution of the flavors and preparation was top notch, and the presentation brought an instant smile. Clearly made by someone who really knows what they are doing but doesn't take themselves too seriously.
Chef Dany is doing something special- what a treat to stumble into it. I truly hope I get to try his work again.
Thanks also to the rest of the team, who were very welcoming and accommodating. We were well taken care of. read more
