    Omggg this place is so good. Our Puerto Rican guide took us here to eat and the food is super…read moreauthentic casual puerto rican food and so delicious. Service is fast and it's a nice family owned place. If you wanna skip the tourist crap and try real food come here!!

    Food was very good. The pork belly ( lechón con cuerito) melted in your mouth literally. And the…read moreskin was hard and crunchy like it's supposed to be. The seasoning on the meat was exact. True Puerto Rican cooking. I ordered some rice and pigeon peas (gandules) with the pork belly, some alcapurrias ( fried plantain fritters stuffed with meat) and a side order of carne frita ( fried cube sliced pieces of pork) with a malta ( non alcoholic Puerto Rican drink made with barley and sugar). Amazing!! The service was fast and staff was very friendly. The place came highly recommended on numerous social media platforms and didn't disappoint. The music in the background was perfect as it added to the overall ambiance. Great local authentic spot that not only caters to locals but welcomes tourists. They have a bar also. Right on the side of the main road right off the highway. Everyone seemed to be having a good time eating, chilling and living the good life. A definite must stop if you are visiting Puerto Rico or just looking for a good authentic Puerto Rican place to eat. Well worth the hype!!

    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.
