“ On our last day in PR and I was smelling roast pork from our hotel across the street. We’ve been eating mofongo throughout our 7-day visit to the island from the east end of Farjardo to the west coast of Aguadilla. This place was memorable and not disappointing! The yucca mofongo was the best we tried from the countless restaurants we attended. The pernil y arroz con habichuela was incredible. I wanted to stuff it in my luggage and take it home. My son had rotisserie chicken and my wife the chuleta and both were magnificent; tender, not dried out and full of flavors. The wait for the food was a bit longer but, possibly it was because our mouths were watering from the roasted pork aromas lingering in the air. When our feast concluded we shared a pistachio tres leche that was light, not overly sweetened and melted in our mouths. I would have paid three times the price of our check. Which is my last point, my kids could have paid for the bill. The bill was less than lunch for 2 adults, and that’s with 2 Medallas. I highly recommend you visit this restaurant. I have placed this restaurant to be my new go-to place once I land in PR. Enjoy! ”

“ Small place. Very busy because they serve delicious, fresh Puerto Rican cuisine. And they serve it very quickly, although they do not rush you. Seated immediately. Service was friendly and welcoming. Prices are unbelievably reasonable: two people, two cocktails and a very filling meal apiece, under $40. We really enjoyed it. ”
“ This place is fantastic. Even though it was my first time in PR and on my company’s dime, I came back two nights in a row for authentic, delicious food. In an area overcrowded w expensive hotel restaurants, this was delicious, affordable, and memorable. Highly recommend. ”
