    This sandwich place is absolutely fantastic. Don't make the mistake of confusing it with Subway, because it's so much more than that. The ingredients are fresh, the sandwiches are made on the spot, and the menu is really big, so there's something for everyone. I like the Philly's Veggie, the Boricua, and the Caribe. It's a busy place, so you might need to wait a moment, but they move pretty quickly, and there's generally somewhere to sit - or you can take your food to a nearby plaza and people-watch while you eat. The fries are really good, too.

    This was the meal I didn't know I wanted or needed till life chose it for me , so my s/o and I are…read moredriving from San Juan to Playa Crash boat but since we didn't wake up in time to have breakfast where we originally wanted to go we got in the car and left upon making decisions, choices,and being hangry and frustrated on not finding the right spot we drove into Dorado and found a few spots near one another the first spot we originally said to try based on google and yelp the service was just not friendly and we decided to leave and then I noticed the other location I had seen on yelp was KGB and it was straight down the road so we go to the location there is self parking available upon arrival I didn't even have to nope my door the hostess opened the door for us and quickly gave us the greeting of the day and seated us , moments later our waiter introduced himself and we took a look at our menus , water was being poured one after the other I never needed to look or ask for a thing , the ambiance is gorgeous and these decor was upscale and decorated by wonderful cases and bottles of their wines and champagnes and top shelf liquors while still a chic and upscale design , and cleanliness was 10/10 .... We ordered appetizer , we had the croquettas de jamon (ham croquettes ) and popcorn shrimp in walnut spicy honey glazed lemon , absolutely 20/10 !!! And if anyone is worried about the item being spicy I don't believe it was but it had a little tiny aftertaste kick more on the peppery side but none the less delicious , for entrees my s/o had lamb chops in pumpkin puree and cherry aujus ,with a side of KGB Fried Rice and sweet playing and I Had the shrimp mofongo in garlic sauce with a Side of avocado , sooo let me give these two entrees there flowers Lamb Chops Cooked medium well - Perfectly cooked to expectation juicy ,tender and the fat rendered making it incredibly flavorful rich and savory The pumpkin puree and pumpkin pave & cherry ajus took this meal to the moon way way way beyond expectation it added a the pumpkin was sweet and smooth that paired so well with the meat and the cherry ajus just bright everything together in a beautiful unified marriage of flavor every bite was the perfect bite and complimented it so well my s/o and I couldn't stop rolling and closing our eyes per bite no exaggeration! Easily the best lamb dish I have tried in an extremely long time !!! Mofongo de camarones By FAR THE BEST MOFONGO i had in PUERTO RICO and I had quite a few throughout the years and on this trip so I could compare !!!! Everything about this dish was perfect and I know speaking about a Mofongo in this light is SERIOUS !!!! The shrimp was cooked exactly how it should be cooked tender and juicy .... Please have no fear of overcooked dry shrimp bc from KGB that is NOT happening they are serving nothing but excellence !! The garlic sauce surprised me because it wasn't thick like a gravy or creamy where cream was added like I have normally experienced when ordering in other places ; it was more of a light garlic sauce flavor that soaked beautifully int the Mofongo without over powering it, Then I discovered onions in the sauce which made it even better bc I love onions in a meal then requesting avocado as a side to my meal was the perfect pairing , it added that fresh , and creamy element that connected the whole bite together and balanced all the rich and garlic flavors with the shrimp , it just WORKED !!like I mentioned after trying so many Mofongos and bifongos around PR , this exceeded my expectations 10/10 best one I had in my life Finished our meal w a nice double espresso each We left feeling completely satisfied and full but not with that heavy , uncomfortable feeling you often get after eating a super rich meal . Everything was well balanced from the start to the end . Amazing food, Excellent service, & beautiful ambiance and made it such a wonderful experience It was a dining experience to remember ! Worth every twist and turn we made to end up there

    Would I do it again? Heck yeah! The miso cod was so good. Just light, well seasoned, and paired…read morewell with the bok choy. The beef dumplings were different from your typical dumplings but delicious nonetheless. Our server was phenomenal and sweet. Had such a great time with the gals here.

    Food was really good and fresh…read more Employees were nice and tried to help me order although their was a language barrier. Food came out hot and made with care. We had a few sandwiches and a chicken empanada. I was expecting a pastry dough filled with meat but it was a breaded and fried chicken breast- my fault for not understanding what I was ordering. It was delicious though.

    I want to disclose that the two star review has more to do with the service than the food...The…read morefood was awesome and affordable. We were staying in a nearby resort and this was the closest thing that was not commercialized. We only went for the breakfast options and although they were simple breakfast items, they were tasty. When the young man is servicing the counter - he is great...friendly and attentive, However our bad experience was with an older woman servicing the register on a day the young man was not in. There is an entrée of scrambled eggs alone and one with scrambled eggs with pancakes. But because the option that comes with the pancakes is only for plain scrambled eggs if we want anything added to it..such as ham or veggies - it is additional. The times we were there when they guy took care of us, there was just a slight charge for the extra items added to the scrambled eggs however the woman at the counter to find a way to charge more started charging each item separately, the scrambled eggs and the order of pancakes so three orders we would've normally have placed, became six. We were not made aware of this because she did not even bother to explain to us the way she was going charge the order. Maybe in the end we would've had no problem with it and paid anyway but the fact that we had been being charged one way and perhaps because she saw we were tourists, decided to overcharge us- is just sneaky and wrong.

    WOW! We came to fuel up on our last night here in San Juan around 2:30 to 3 in the morning after…read moreour last night out in Old San Juan salsa dancing. We had seen this truck parked here all week, but this night was the night I would commit to trying it, and I am happy I did. I can't even remember the name of the sandwich I got, but I know it contained three meats and that was enough to this carnivore to get it. The sandwich was delicious, it hit the spot, just what I needed at 3:30 in the morning, I highly recommend you try them no matter what time of the day you get the craving. BTW, the location on Yelp is wrong, or they have a second truck.

    Man, this seems so far away now! A cruise we took in March, just before all the Covid madness blew…read moreup, took us to PR. Our first night there, we only wanted a casual bite. So we found this food truck not far down the street from the DoubleTree. Their menu was not that hard to understand even for non-Spanish speakers for the most part, but then when it comes to something novel ("What is a fongo?"), the lack of an explanation and choppy English-language skills might not help very much. So after a bit of pointing and gesticulating, we ended with an artisanal burger and some fongos pollo. The food was OK - freshly prepared and quite substantial. For my taste, it relied a bit much on grease and mayonnaise. Still a decent taste of local fare - or IS it considered authentic local fare? Apparently, they are pretty big for a food truck - 5 or 6 different locations at least, depending on which truck you want!
