We felt a little underdressed in our hiking clothes, this would be a great place to dress up and have a dinner out. The service was amazing- and the food was 4/5. The empanadas were DELICIOUS- definitely the highlight of our lunch. The rest of the dishes were good- the fresh caught red snapper was deep fried- which took away the experience of it being fresh.

After six days in San Juan, there was only one restaurant I really loved, so thank God we decided…read moreto venture out to Luquillo! We came with a group of 11, and they had a beautiful outdoor space that worked perfectly for our group. Service was attentive, and everything we tried was fresh.I ordered the grilled lobster with seafood in garlic sauce and tostones. It was delicious, although definitely pricey. The lobster is sold by the pound, and the smallest they had was about 1.5 lbs at $60+ per plate, so keep that in mind.Not pictured was my daughter's churrasco, which I had to try and WOW. I'm pretty sure it was entraña, and it was some of the best steak I had on the trip. For dessert, I had the coconut flan, and it was SO good. Definitely my favorite way to end the meal. Puerto Rico is expensive, and I'd consider this mid-level pricey, but compared to some of our meals in San Juan, this one felt worth it. If you're staying in San Juan, I'd recommend making the trip to Luquillo. This was easily my favorite meal of the trip!

It tasted very much like someone's grandmother was in the kitchen making this food. It's no surprise that this place gets packed. If you want delicious Puerto Rican comfort food then come here. The pork dudes were delicious, I couldn't pretend to dislike it if I tried. The gravy of course was great and helps make the rice even better. Although I'll admit that the rice while good was a bit lacking. The flan on the other was the best flan I've had in a long time. Perfect way to end the meal. A must if you're in the area.

I had the petchuga de pollo with rice, beans, tostones.. I also had my favorite appetizers, sorullios and Pizza empanadas.. The chicken, rice, beans were delicious as usual. The corn fritters were equally delicious but the Pizza empanadas missed the spot.. Can't win them all. But overall I had a great meal and will be back soon! Service was great as the wait staff were attentive and accommodating. As far as the ambience, it was pretty packed there was patrons joining their meals. Can't really remember if there was any music in the background. But it's a very nice restaurant. If you are in the old San Juan Puerto Rico area and are looking for some good Puerto Rican food I suggest that you hit this spot up. You won't be mad. Alright now.. Have a great one yall! -Ray

Once we hit the door, a host informed us it would be about a 15 minute wait to be seated and about 45-60mins for our food to come out. We weren't upset that meant that the food would be prepared fresh and come out hot. Our server welcomed us and reminded us what the host had informed us and suggested we get appetizers to hold us over a bit. Drinks came out and were very good (mojitos) and our appetizer of the octopus salad. Now when our meals came out and we each tasted what we ordered, we were in heaven and eating from each others plates. This was a must go to spot for good food. The garlic shrimp w/mofongo were amazing.

If I knew that I would have avoided the place. I like inside and the air conditioner. Beware of the mosquitos. There were a ton. We got there and there was a small line. By the time we got our food there were 10 plus people. What encouraged me upon arrival was the fact military members were eating there. I know they know where good food is. Even police showed up to get food before we left. We were clearly the only lost tourists. It was the only place to have Coke Zero. All around very good food. Affordable prices too.

We had a simple lunch that was flavorful, well-prepared, and inexpensive. It's an open air restaurant where you can enjoy the fresh air without baking in the sun and heat. The decor gives it a rustic and charming vibe. You can tell simplicity is part of their approach. You walk in and seat yourself, you bus your table at the end of the meal, and you pay at the window on your way out--we learned this by watching the locals who had stopped in for a quick lunch. The small menu was handwritten on plain white paper--Spanish on one side, English on the other. We spotted someone diligently hand-drying clean plates and trays at the edge of the dining area. We were expecting our bottles of waters to come to the table before our food, but after a short wait the server brought it all out together on a tray. The plates are basic and we got to-go plasticware & napkin sets to eat our meal. The food was excellent! The Arroz Mamposteao (mixed rice) was especially good. After a week in PR where it seems vegetables are surprisingly scarce on restaurant menus, we were really excited to have green salad. The total meal was under $20, making it the least expensive lunch for two we've had in a long time.

They were serving lunch so we tried the Pernïl and rice and beans. We also got a salmon plate and a chicken cacciatore cooked in Spanish rice. The restaurant is old and very unassuming, but it doesn't stop the crowds of people to come and visit and see old San Juan history which this building has to be part of. It's not glamorous but you feel like you transported back into the very early years of Old San Juan when maybe it was still just San Juan.
