For the price, I honestly expected a larger portion, and I still left hungry after my meal. My suggestion would be to increase the size of the arepa by about 25%. That would better match the presentation and make the price feel much more justified. The food is delicious, but the portion size is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.

It's just that you're basically getting food truck vibes and what is essentially street food for a nice, full service price point. The food is hearty- you don't need to order much to get full. Stick to what this place is good at, arepas. They load it to the max and their assortment of sauces are pretty impressive. One thing I gotta say though, $10 for an orange juice is egregious at any level. I could be at the four seasons in Bali and that would still make me raise my eyebrows. Even then I ordered it like a doof and it was like 3/4 ice!! C'mon yall, just take it off the menu if it's like that. Overall, the 24-hour aspect is nice and the food is decent. I can see myself paying a premium after a long night out, but just watch what you get because that bill can run up quick.

As such, they only open weekdays and only for breakfast and lunch. They close at 2pm, after lunch rush. There is always a line for lunch but it moves quickly. Service is nice, especially from the owner. Not sure if they speak English. Seating is mainly outdoor, but they do have a few tables inside.they are located on the side of the MCS building, on Calle Bolivia. Street parking is available. You can also park in the MCS building, but the restaurant doesn't validate. Although the owner is Venezuelan, I've never seen them serve Venezuelan fare, so don't come here expecting arepas or anything else. It's mainly traditional Puerto Rican comfort food. It's served cafeteria style. Speaking of food, it is very good and affordable. Including taxes, the food comes out to just under or over $10, depending on what you get. They also serve a variety of smoothies.

We came here during my bachelorette trip in Puerto Rico and everything we ordered was amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and genuinely some of the best we had on the trip. The chicken, rice and beans, plantains, avocado, everything hit. Even the drinks were so good. We ordered a little bit of everything for the table and there was honestly not one thing we didn't enjoy.

We sat down for dinner at 7:45 and did not receive our drinks until 8:20, even though we put in our order as soon as we sat down... and asked politely how much longer until our drinks would come out... twice. Food did not come out for an hour and half, it was cold by the time we got it. Mac and cheese is not great cold. The ribs are extremely overcooked and like eating beef jerky. Drinks were okay, but by the time we got them everyone's cocktails were watered down, as well as the soft drinks. The ambiance was not great either since everyone around us was visibly frustrated by the wait times and lack of service, a table across flagged the waitress multiple times to ask where their stuff was. The food was decent, but again, cold. The wait times were no joke. We wrapped up our 7:45 dinner around 10, simply because of how long it took to be served. Our waitress came to our table maybe 3 times total, we would have to stand and find her to figure out where our food/drinks were. They were also out of a good majority of items on the menu when we tried to order them. Overall I unfortunately don't recommend! Price, service, and food are not great.

The texture of the shrimp inside the bao buns was similar to whipped fluffy scrambled eggs-Excellent taste. The quesito frito was not the texture we were expecting however it was a delight ! Super soft creamy cheese on the inside with an excellent crisp on the outside topped with guava sauce and feta cheese sprinkles. The blueberry mule was ok. We were then extremely disappointed on the Mar y Tierra. The short rib was overcooked and dried out- no moisture in the meat at all. The shrimp tastes like it had been thawed and left out for too long. Tastes and smelled spoiled. The pasta sauce could have been cut through. The concept is not there behind this dish. The service took some time but we do not mind waiting for our food Ambiance was loud but we could still talk over the noise given we were closer to the entrance so less noise.

The good thing first- the line goes through fairly quickly considering how busy they were the day I was there, Sunday July 19, 2026, and parking was plentiful. Service was fine, cleanliness was good. The bad. Way overpriced for this region. There are plenty of bakeries in Puerto Rico offering the same things at half the price. The worst. The food quality sucked. Jugo de China Natural usually means squeezed to order. It was squeezed ahead of time and served with ice without being asked. Fresh squeezed orange juice is best served room temp. A good one will still be a little foamy on the top with very low acidity Ham and Cheese on Mayorca Bread- a staple of PR breakfast. Traditionally served pressed with a little powdered sugar on top that caramelizes a little because of the pressing. This one had a ton of floury tasting powdered sugar on the top and bottom of the top and inside the top and bottom of the bread, not normal at all. And for whatever reason, mine was served with the insides of the bread out side but I saw others that weren't served that way. So strange. And the ham was oddly pale. Also, no knives or forks to be found, so the extra sugar was extra confusing Quesitos- I ordered 4 to take out. I should not have. They went straight to the trash. The dough was severely under baked and soggy yet the filling was dry and crumbly without barely any sugar on top to offset the cream cheese. Arroz con Dulce- overly sweet and watery. Also went straight to the trash. Should be a little thicker from the starch of the rice combining with the sweet milk as it cooks. It tasted like they cooked the rice separately and then added cinnamon, evaporated milk and a ton of sugar without heating it. Not even a hint of vanilla to be found. For $44 dollars before tip. It was straight disrespectful to tourists and locals alike. I hope they improve because there is nothing worst than a popular spot resting on the laurels of a good location PS- The Habichuelas Escabeche were good.
