For a buffet-style setup, the variety left a lot to be desired. The number of dishes being passed around was minimal, and the salad bar was nothing to write home about. Nothing really stood out or made me feel like I was getting my money's worth. Bottom line: skip it. The value just isn't there for what you're paying. I'd look elsewhere for a better experience at a comparable price point. My waitress was not impressive-she explained nothing, never offered or asked if we wanted more potatoes, yuca fries or plantains and had to be ran down for refills - even though it was not busy. The dessert was the only star within my experience.

When the waitress approaches, I told her that I needed more time. She said that's it's okay. But what she did was just standing there and wait for me. (O_O) Ok not weird at all. Oh btw water was not served the whole time I was there. I ordered the conch ceviche. It was very flavorful and tasty. For my main dish, I got the grouper fillet platter with monfongo. They provided a pink sauce and a chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri sauce tastes a lil strange, like the tinge of dirty dish washing sponge. The tomato slice on my salad has a black (likely moldy) spot. Notably, I found a parasite in between my grouper fillet. (As a master in bio major who likes to read about parasites, I am pretty confident about this). It's not dangerous because parasites are easily killed by cooking. However, regardless of my passion for learning about parasites, I really don't anticipate to see any on my plate. Hence, I did not finish it and ordered dessert. I got a flan. The flan was fine, but the liquid under the flan both smell and taste sour and fermented (not in a good way). I don't want any trouble and the waitresses are not very good at English so I didn't say anything. All in all, I don't think this restaurant is a worthy choice. I got that I encountered a parasite outside of lab though. Fun stuff. This review is also posted on Google.

I came mid day on Monday and it wasn't until 5 pm that it started getting busy which was nice. I didn't order food only drinks but they had a good variety of finger foods and special plates. I ordered their passion fruit Mojito, strawberry mojito and red sangria. The sangria tasted good and fresh but my passion fruit mojito was a bit sour so I was sad about that. Prices are okay just a bit higher than most places in the area. I paid $30 for the three drinks Overall I would come again but probably just one drink and keep "chinchorriando" lol (PR version of bar hopping)

It's not going to exist beyond 10 minutes when hitting our table. Everything is flavourful, especially the Churrasco a la Parrilla. Juicy and flawlessly grilled. My pick of the day. They cook things right. The Salmon was ridiculous delicious. I didn't mind paying almost $20 for the Argentine style Breast Fillet. Everything down to the potato was a treat. I'm a bit bothered by auto adding the gratuity to the bill. We had six but I'm told even parties of four incur this. The prices weren't the best, but, the large portions helped to make up for that. I've heard bad things about the service, ours was spot-on. Maybe not the most polite, but fast and attentive. I'd definitely be back to this place. 12/25

Walking into this old corner unit on Ponce de Leon is the smell of "hospital napalm" aka denatured alcohol rub, so, no smoking allowed. But pretty, pretty clean. Servers are dressed in Boston green polo shirts and do a perfunctory welcome. The large bar adorns the left of the restaurant with tables, cushioned chairs and a few corner units that can accommodate a few family sized 8-tops. There is a parking lot so if you're not going into the La Placita, don't worry. Classic PR bound and laminated menu features all of the good in life. Local favorites, and for good value. You're not getting a Michelin-starred meal here, you're getting sustenance not caviar. Protein, and starch- do you really need microgreens? So order the first of 3 huge pina coladas, mojitos or beers, and STFU Donny. Everything is great and pretty basic. PR "Mayo-Ketchup" on the table already mixed. Curious, I opted for avocado-stuffed fresh ceviche the size of a small child's head. Perfectly seasoned and incredible in value. Just needs lime wedges and a few chips-see pic. Others ordered a cauldron of piping hot seafood soup with shrimp and calamari, and tender beef stew with all the trimmings of rice, beans and everything nice. It reminds you of the PR mom you never had. One I'm still trying to emulate, but creativity and reasoning get in the FKN way. Enjoy your meal and tip the girls.

This place is definitely a hidden gem!…read more It's tucked between two extremely popular restaurants that seem to be all over TikTok and usually have long wait times. We actually tried to get into one of them, but the wait was 30 minutes, so we decided to walk a little farther down the street. That's when we spotted Genesis. I'll admit, I was hesitant because there was nobody inside, but wow, am I glad we gave it a chance! There were four of us in our group, and every single person raved about their meal. With every bite, I found myself saying, "Yum!" One person ordered the smoked pork chops and loved every bite. My husband had the yellow rice and chicken and thought it was excellent. I ordered the chicken mofongo, and wow--the flavor was incredible! The fourth person in our group had the shrimp mofongo and absolutely loved it as well. The owner was there, and her son was our server. Everyone was incredibly friendly, the service was great, and our food came out quickly. They also had some wonderful beer specials. Don't let this restaurant pass you by because of its location or the fact that it may not be packed. Some of the best meals are found in places like this. Everything we ordered was delicious, the hospitality was outstanding, and we left wondering why more people weren't eating there. I highly recommend this restaurant!
