    Heard about this place on Puertoricodaytrips.com and tried to hunt it down the first night some…read morefriends and I were in Puerto Rico. We almost missed it driving by. It's a little roadside bar with outdoor seating and the food on display. More of a food stand/bar than a restaurant, similar to the kiosks in Luquillo. Great place to go on a warm night. We didn't really know what to order so I walked up and said "What's the best?" in my limited spanish and they said "everything." They were absolutely correct. We ordered the chicken, mafongo, plaintains, and the roasted pork. Everything was pulled off the spit, cut with a machete and served fresh. The chicken and pork was moist, tender and delicious. Some of the best chicken I've ever had. The mafongo and plaintains were equally good. Best of all it was dirt cheap. All in all, an excellent introduction to authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. It can be a little intimidating because it has a bit of a "locals only" feel. The food is worth a little initial discomfort and you'll get over it very quickly once you see how friendly everyone is.

The chicken is juicy with insanely good crispy skin. The pork ribs melt in your mouth. The plantains are golden and the Yuca takes garlic to a new level. As a bonus, the food is also a bargain. To get four people completely full, plus 2 soda's, 2 beers and a Pina Colada was $36.
