    This small cafe is located inside of el Yunque national park. It's a small cafe and they have seating available and restrooms. The staff here seems to be very indifferent and not that interested in providing service. I ordered the bacalaitos with yuca fries and my friend got the beef pastelito. The bacalaito were nicely fried, very thin and only had a hint of bacalao. The yuca fries were good. My friend liked the pastelito since it had a good amount of beef. Overall the food was good, just a bit overpriced considering the small portions.

    I went several times during my stay. The guava smoothie was delicious along with the guava empanadas. Even a simple dish like beef tacos was good. Cute little place with parking and bathrooms.

    So we just wanted a little snack. We stopped by this place and ordered a little food.. just something light. My smoothie was good. No issues. Good customer service. Wasn't too busy at the time. Great just grab something before you head down the rainforest. Or up....

    Worker was extremely rude to us. We left before eating. The worker gave us attitude for politely asking when they opened

    If you need a fix of some good tacos GO HERE!!!!!!…read more My group got tacos and quesadillas and they were phenomenal. The owner and the workers were so nice and personable. When we walked in we were instantly greeted and the service was super fast. The music playlist was ON POINT! but they definitely accommodate different musical tastes. Highly recommend this place.

    10 tacos for $20 Firstly I would like to start off by…read moresaying the place is clean, set up nicely, filled with merch, aguas frescas stand and iconic Mexican art and candy. Now straight to the food... The Chicharrones Tacos are lacking it's a lemony, watery sauce, if I may it needs a Thicker saucy seasoned sauce base. They were bland. (Necesitan una salsa espesa sazonada parecía agua con limón y tomatillo verde nada más) The Tripa Tacos please fry them they were so soggy the tripa is ment to be well fried (doradita) (esa tripa estaba hervida y chiclosa) (y más si la Van a cobrar extra) specially since it's being charged extra it should be worth it. Now that the bad is over I must give a Standing ovation on The Tacos de Barbacoa! If there is one taco that is 20/10 it's the Barbacoa perfectly tender and well seasoned. (Daba gusto esos tacos de barbacoa) The Tacos de Fajita 10/10 muy buenos ! Very good Now whatever it is you do get to order you must accompany it with a side of rice and beans! Estos muchachos hacen un arroz muy rico y los frijoles refritos bien sabrosos ! Now the Aguas Frescas (Natural Drinks) Prueben el Tamarindo 20/10 (ni muy dulce ni muy amargo) Not too sweet not too tangy just PERFECT! They also had pineapple, horchata, Jamaica and others. Would I go back ABSOLUTELY! I just humbly wish they can better in the chicharrones and the tripas Service which is also a great experience, welcoming, kind, respectful. Éxito muchachos y el servicio muy amable.

Walk, run, drive, float, fly, cancel that trip to Hawaii; do what you need to do; Eat dinner here immediately! I mean like, right now. It's 4am and you're in Wisconsin? Don't care. You should be here. I went out looking for a healthy salad after days of eating very rich foods. Planned to go to Opa! Opa was packed, but the doors were locked and the sign was off, despite not closing for another hour according to maps. Oh well. What's this up here? Paulina's. Ok let me check Yelp. Great ratings let's see if they have salads. Right on Ashford, indoor and outdoor seating. It was packed and there was 45 minutes til close. So I went straight to the bar. The server/bartender gave me the best service on this trip. She was prompt, checked in me at the right time, spoke to me in Spanish when I tried but English when I needed to. She was warm and smiled to everyone. While she made drinks i asked random things about the island, the language, and she seemed happy to tell me about it. Vibe was elegant, slightly high scale. I didn't know until I saw the menu... oh this is a Mexican restaurant! I drank an old fashion. It was delicious but tasted a little weak. Not sure how that can be when it's all liquor basically. Maybe I was just in a mode. But it was good. In retrospect, wtf am I drinking an old fashion for? Should have had something more Caribbean! They had a great looking salad called El Orgánico iirc. But then I saw this interesting dish that came with a side salad. It is called "Torta elote de escanes" I think. Something like that. In Arizona a torta is a sandwich on a bun de Frances or Bolio. So I was struck when I read the description. Something about a corn soufflé, with green chiles. Sounded good but not crazy good. But then it went on "this is the one thing you should order at Paulina." Ok, who am I to argue? I ordered the torta elote; and two taquitos de pollo al pastor. (Chicken pastor tacos). She explained that the torts also had mushrooms and sour cream and is that ok. Yes, sounds great! Tacos came out first. Fantastic! I live in Arizona and am no stranger to pastor. This was top tier; probably the best I've had. Insanely tender chicken on a pan-toasted tortilla with pineapple and some sauce. Out of this world. But honestly, compared to what's coming next, I almost forgot all about those perfect tacos. Out comes the "torta". It looks like a rectangle piece of cornbread with crème and tomatoes on top. Served simply on a white flat plate, soufflé (torta) on the left, and the salad on the right. Ate the salad first. It was the low light. Fresh and tasty, but the dressing needs a bit more pop imo: maybe vinegar. I cut off a piece of the corn bread thing, being sure to include a bit of every ingredient. I'm lost for words. I don't know what to say. This is the perfect creation. This is a godly creation. I will never forget this. Now, as I mentioned, I'm from Arizona. So I love corn. I live green chiles. These are southwest flavors so maybe I'm biased. But this thing was perfect in every way as far as I'm concerned. What she said was sour cream I think was actually crème fraiche. But I don't care what you call it. Torta, sour cream, whatever! One of the best dishes I've eaten in my life. 6 stars.

    Excellent service and great food. They ha a very cozy atmosphere. The servers are very polite and…read moreknow very well the menu to help customers with their questions.

    Taco Bout It - Lemon Pepper & Guava BBQ Chicken Wings

    INTRODUCING TACO 'BOUT IT…read more Walking down Strand Street Christiansted town to get to Crucian Gold and noticed this new establishment opened across the way . Taco 'Bout It is St. Croix's newest taco spot. But it leans more into being a gourmet taco restaurant. Although there are other items on their menu, it's their tacos that are the highlights. Their interior is huge and has plenty of group seating available and is also partitioned into 2 sections. There is also patio seating outside that is covered and there's additional seating at the bar. Speaking of bar, they have a full bar that includes most cocktails, wines, some beer and they even have mamajuana. I ordered their guava bbq chicken wings, along with some lemon pepper to test. The lemon pepper was OK, but lacked a true lemon zing pop. The guava flavor was pretty delicious and easily addictive. Unfortunately, the size of the wings were small and not worth the dollar price. When I mentioned this to management, they explained that their regular wings ran out and these were substitute wings from another distributor. The next batch will be the bigger variety from their main distributor. This was a relief to hear! I ended up ordering the taco platter to sample 4 taco flavors for $20 (basically $5 each). They have flavors like Cubano, Spiced Pork, Burger, Brisket, Philly Cheesesteak, Chipotle BBQ Pork and then some Veggie options including the Rasta Chicken, Bang Bang Broccoli and Seafood Flavors like Hot Rocks and Fish & Chips. The Cubano was legit and had good flavor, the Rasta Chicken was seasoned well, the Fish & Chips was crispy & super-flavorful and the Hot Rocks was my favorite with the shrimp in it. I understand that they've just opened and they're working out the kinks in some of the menu, but I looks forward to seeing more from them. Overall, this is a great spot for taco fanatics who want to try something different and unique.

    I like the idea of Taco Flights. A friend and I shared a flight to try it out. I'll check out more…read moreoptions in the future.
