    Given more days in Luqillo, I would return every day to try all their food…read more I started with the arepas de coco - very well fried, soft, doughy puffs complemented with a guava sauce. They were addictive, it was hard to not eat all of them. They would also be a good dessert - reminiscent of beignets, but with less oil and sugar. For main I had the churrasco skirt steak with rice of the day. It was a generous portion of steak topped with a delicious churrasco fragrant with garlic. The rice was well seasoned and perfectly cooked texture. Server was enthusiastic about the food and providing suggestions. Though I suspect everything on the menu is delicious. Guests at all the tables around me raved about their meals. Indoor seating is cozy and comfortable. There's a small bar with counter seating.

    The Paseo de la Pared might be the best cocktail I've ever had. The service was very friendly,…read morealthough there were several instances where 1 person of our group of 5 was left out when things were delivered to our table. The waitress (who was super cool) had to go and remind the bar to make my wife's drink. Then, she had to go and ask the kitchen why my entree hadn't come out when everyone else had been served 5 minutes prior. The food was good (especially the churrasco), but this was a very expensive meal. Like, "Holy hell is that correct?!"-when they bring you the check level expensive. We would go back for those drinks, but I would need to sell a couple of non-vital organs before we could afford to go back for a full meal.

    Probably the best food we have eaten in Puerto Rico so far!…read more Worth the drive! Our server (Javier) was friendly and helpful, kept telling us which cat to watch out for (one is mean, one is friendly). We enjoyed hanging out and talking while the food was prepared. The El Mariano was great! Tasty with delicious pork. The mafango under it was a great addition! Pro tip, order the Medalla instead of water, they are literally the same price!

    Sunday afternoon lunch with my wife and parents for a birthday trip to PR. One server and one smoke…read moremaster in the back with great service for a semi busy Sunday, in my opinion. Medalla's cost as much as the water and the Smoke Punch was fruitful and delicious. We started with a set of 12 BBQ Guava sauce which I can't recommend enough if you are a wing fan. Juicy, flavorful, and just a hint of spicy. We then got a set of meats (CERDO AHUMADO aka applewood smoked pork and COSTILLAS AHUMADAS aka 1/4 applewood smoked St. Louis ribs), CODITOS CON QUESO Y CERDO aka smoked pork Mac and cheese, GRANOS aka grain/bean salad, ENSALADA DE REPOLLO aka coleslaw, and ENSALADA DE PAPA aka potato salad. We are all sitting back at our VRBO in a meat/food coma after eating 1/2 of the amounts! There is still tons of food for dinner and it will be gone once one of us are hungry! This place is a gem of Ceiba. My favorite was the ribs which I recommend 2 orders ;) they have a great atmosphere with a TV, music, games, and what looks like a party area. Next time im back to the east side of PR I'm gonna try MOFONGO DE AMARILLO RELLENO DE CERDO AHUMADO DESMENUZADO EN BBQ DE LA CASA Y QUESO MOZZARELLA FUNDIDO (basically shredded meat covered in their delicious cheese sauce. Have fun everyone
