Creme brûlée
Naivit V.

The view up here is spectacular- now add great service, amazing food and Puertorican hospitality and you have the best dining experience! The churrasco (steak) was amazingly marinated and melted with every bite - it was on a bed of rice and beans made completely different than what I knew before. We also ordered tostones (salty and crunchy plantain - savory) and plátano Maduro (sweet plantain) to accompany our plates - an amazing addition! To top it off we had the creme brûlée which is an added bonus to phone home about! For beverages I highly recommend the lavender mule - it's delicious and refreshing! La hospitalidad y servicio de este restaurante es de lo máximo! La comida toda sabia espectacular al igual que las bebidas y el postre. Nuestra mesera y todos los trabajadores fueron de lo más atentos con nosotros!

Delicious food and drinks. Wonderful view and good service. Of course I'm coming back.

Location, view, ambient and service all 5 Lots nice spots for great scenery pictures and outdoor seating to be relax either waiting to be seated or after eating and getting ready to drive back to your destination. There is even a golf cart to give you a ride from your car to the restaurant/bar area. Its amazing the beauty of nature among Puerto Rico mountains in Naranjito less than 1 hour from San Juan. The churrasco was a 5 in taste and how tender and soft the meat was cooked. The lamb ribs were also very good and the glaze was a nice touch. However, the halibut was weak in season compared to other places including our own private kitchen. The appetizers needs improvement while the desserts were the cherry on the ice cream. Considering all the above, food, location, experience and price its 4 .

We came here for lunch as a group of 4. We started with the Alcapurrias. It was good, but nothing…read morespecial to me. Then we had the goat fricase, cod and pork chops. The goat fricase's sauce was amazing. It was full of flavor and eating it with the rice and beans was a joy. The cod was perfectly cooked and was delicious. Then my favorite was the pork chops. They pre-cut it for us since we were eating family style. The skin was so crispy and the pork was so flavorful, I smiled the entire time I ate it. Service was very good.

This restaurant is exactly the kind of place you'd want to bring your SO to. It's very romantic,…read moreit's got a live band, and the music is loud enough to listen and enjoy, but soft enough to have conversation. The food was a joy from start to finish. I started with a drink that resembles an espresso martini, but very inspired by the locality. We shared cassava baskets filled with ropa vieja and some local cheese. This was incredible but I did find the cassava shell tough to chew. My main dish was the catch of the day, which was snapper (absolutely delightful!) the snapper was served with a dollop of mashed potatoes and tostines! Everything here was incredible though I did find two of the tostones tough to chew. Dessert was bread pudding using Mallorca bread with coconut and guava alongside a scoop of ice cream. This was a bit of a let down, but still wonderful. Service could be better? We did feel like everything took a long time due to the waiters absence. Otherwise, this place was great! Do come!

I never had a bad drink here out of the two nights and many drinks had. The layout is amazing with multiple rooms, bars, and DJs. Anything from techno, pop mixes, to latin. Yes i did salsa with the love of my life. No that has no influence on my review haha. Definitely recommend for a night out!! During the weekday we didn't have a line but it was still full inside. On a Friday we had a short line at 10:30 and it was packed.

Popped into this place to check out the music. The hotel staff recommended it. The ambience was…read morespot on there were two different rooms, actually three. Each of them have different music. One room, the main area had salsa, dancing, and music and eventually at 9:30 PM a live salsa band came on. That was a whole lot of fun however it was very crowded. The second room had a nice house music going on. There was a bar and a DJ and it was not as busy as the main area was. And the third room was the bar that leads to the outside called La Cubanita, which was playing mellow lounge music with a tropical beat. The food at La Factoria was definitely overrated and just OK. I did not think it was worth the price and I probably would not eat there again. None of us really liked what we ordered, but we ate it because well... We were hungry. They do offer a wide range of beverages from your standard beer, wine, and top shelf brands, however, they are known for their own concoctions. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. Overall, we had fun, and it was not too pricey for the beverages. I don't think that I would ever go again, especially not later in the week as it is so busy, and we went on a Monday and we were dancing cheek to cheek!!! Enjoy!

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.
