We had a variety of smoked meats, the mahi mahi over coconut rice, and the smoked pastrami. Their sides were also really good, and so were the mixed drinks.

I had lunch with family here. This used to be an old gas station converted into an outdoor…read morerestaurant. The backdrop of the native plants, birds, and low-volume music was perfect. There is an uncovered patio with seating and straw-covered umbrellas. We did not have a reservation, but were able to get seated within 10 minutes of arrival. A reservation is a must. There is an area adjacent to the restaurant that sells the food items by the pound. This is one of the more expensive places to eat on this side of the island. The smell of the smoked meat and seasonings is intoxicating, drawing you in. I had a glass of lemonade, Caribbean Chicken Wings Ceviche, and a smoked tuna dip. My main course was the grilled lobster and fries. I sampled the cole slaw, red beans, and rice. The lemonade was very watery, as if it had been poured before and was ready for guests when they ordered it, since it was served quickly. Would take a pass on this. The Caribbean Chicken Wings were delightful. It has a sweet, smoky, slightly crunchy texture, with just a pinch of spice, heat, and flavor. I enjoyed this and did not want to share with family. The smoked tuna dip was delightful, not overly creamy, and retained the tuna's texture and flavor; I wanted to order another and would have appreciated a few more wings than what was served. The Ceviche was a little underwhelming but done well. I am on the picket fence on whether pineapple helps or hurts the dish, so I would pass on this when going back. The grilled lobster was beautifully presented. The spices and grilled marks were prominent and beautiful. The spices and flowers were just amazing, and they retained the lobster flavor despite the bold seasonings. The red beans and rice were well-cooked, but had very little flavor. This was disappointing given how ubiquitous this dish is on the island and the restaurant's ability. My son had the El Matahambre: "Kill your hunger" BBQ sandwich. Pulled pork, smoked bacon, BBQ sauce, and cheddar on a local bread called Mayorca. I sampled the pork. Tender, well done, seasoned, and perfect. This is a must-stop place. Remember to set a reservation, and that this is not a cheap place to eat. I want to go back soon, and I am wondering if they would ever consider chicken beyond the appetizer.

We came here for the lobster and ribeye to share between us and boy it did not disappoint! We were lucky that we got the last lobster from the tank. Loved every bite full! Delicious and yummy. Went well with my mango vodka mojito. We chose to have the Mamposteado style rice as our side dish. Which was so great. We had enough room to share a pistachio cheesecake and it finished off the meal great!! Thank you Ramon for a great evening and thank you Chef Ernesto Meléndez for a great meal.

We didn't order any entrees, as our family likes to try many things. My wife's favorite is ceviche and she was impressed by this dish. (Order it) We also ordered fish bites. Solid choice as the guava sauce was memorable. La arepas de coconut. Solid. The fish empanadas were great. Definitely order those. But calamari was chewy and overcooked. I'd pass on this. Cocktails were amazing. Spicy margarita is spicy!! I had a mojito which was delicious. You won't go wrong with any cocktail. Server was great. He did mention to me that we should order soon as the kitchen will get busy. We waited as we were enjoying our dinner. (We didn't have any problems) I'd go back. I'd also suggest sticking to your plan. It's your evening and don't let service control the experience. At the end of it...you control the tip = thank you.

I…read moredid read reviews and they were pretty positive, but I cannot agree with the food comments in particular. My boyfriend and I each ordered the pork mofongo with house sauce. We figured that would be safe since it's a famous dish in Puerto Rico! It was beyond awful. It came with a house salad that had like 4 lettuce leaves and one baby tomato. The plantains were ok, but it was the sauce that destroyed everything. The base was definitely a cream of something soup out of a can, and was essentially liquid salt. We didn't eat much, even though we had an appetite and were hungry after hiking. We also each had an empanada, and I'd bet they were straight from the freezer. The only good part of the meal were the drinks. The non alcoholic pina colada frappe was delicious, as was the coconut mojito.
