    Empanadilla de Carne
    Eduardo B.

    Authentic cuisine and ambience is what El Rincón Criollo is all about. They are located in Cayey, about 10 minutes off the PR-52 Toll Highway. It's one of those hole in the walls that just make one proud of traditional dishes in Puerto Rico. Being one of the first restaurants we visited, we were worried about what our overall experience would be, this place more then delivered. Food cooked to perfection, seasoning and flavors that reminded all of us of our uprising, OMG! We ordered a bit of everything on the menu and they came out as ready, nothing was pre-made, all cooked to order. If you are wanting to see it up a notch, as them for their homemade hot sauce, a mix of seasonings and liquid flavors, went well with all our orders. We loved the Chicarron de Pollo, Mofongo with Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce, Alcapurrias, Tostones, Sorullitos, the variety of Empanadas and their large selection of fresh juices. We also had to order a Pina Colada and a Malta India, the official Malta of Puerto Rico. To wrap up, this is the spot, if you want the food of the island at a price that will blow your mind, check out El Rincón Criollo!

    What a great food experience!!! Casita Miramar easily earned a spot in my top 2 restaurants I've…read morehad the pleasure of dining at in Puerto Rico when it comes to quality food and an overall amazing experience. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and the service was excellent from beginning to end,from the hostess to the servers and bussers. Our server, Jeffery, was amazing! He was energetic, professional, attentive, and you can genuinely tell he takes his position seriously. I loved that! We were greeted with complimentary sopa de plátano and bacalaítos, and I was NOT expecting to love them as much as I did. This was by far the best sopa de plátano I've ever had. I never thought I could fall in love with a soup, but here we are! (I ordered a whole extra regular size bowl )The bacalaítos were another surprise because they're normally not something I order or even particularly like--and I've tried quite a few in my life--but these were absolutely delicious. My S/O and I shared the churrasco with arroz mamposteao, along with a side of avocado salad and majado de viandas. Everything was a straight 10/10. Not one disappointment on the table. They also make an amazing Rojo Pico, which was the perfect addition to the experience. 100% recommend Casita Miramar. Don't overthink JUST GO! Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and most importantly, genuinely delicious, quality Puerto Rican food. This place absolutely deserves the hype and its spot in my top two!

    The workers were honestly the sweetest. the environment is so welcoming and calm…read more although i wasn't very happy with the food. i went with my family and we found the food very bland and overpriced!! my mom LOVES cooking and she could tell when frozen beans are served to her. the food tasted old and the rice look like it was reheated from days ago.. definitely might be a tourist trap. the aesthetics are beautiful but isn't worth the price. on the good side, they sell natural juices and the parcha juice was the best i ever had!!
