    Do you want to try authentic Latin food with amazing drinks? This is your spot!!! I loved, loved,…read moreloved the ambiance here. I came on a Wednesday evening and enjoyed a quiet dinner with my friend. The service was impeccable and the food came out quick. There's a small parking lot on the side of the hotel or you can find free street parking behind the building or along Navarro. Let's get into the food: *Costilla Lomo Salgado (short rib): 4/5 it was very flavorful and well cooked. Just a little on the saltier end but I ate it all! *Pescado Zarandeado (grilled red fish): 4/5 *Fall Back to You: Bourbon drink. Very tasty. Not too sour or sweet. I will definitely be coming back.

We started with a bright, perfect margarita, then dove into Cuban Black Bean Hummus with poblano corn relish that could make a preacher cuss. The Ceviche Del Dia was ocean-fresh and clean, and the Pescado Zarandeado, marinated in achiote and laid over Congri, tasted like it had a story to tell. We finished with a Pumpkin Cheesecake so rich and warm it could've been October on a plate. The service was tremendous, the kind that makes you feel looked after without ever being rushed. A meal at Ocho isn't just dinner; it's a memory you'll tuck away for the days you need to remember that the world can still be this beautiful.

    A Masterclass in Authentic Puerto Rican Comfort. From the…read moremoment you step inside, this vibrant eatery transports you directly into the heart of a Puerto Rican grandmother's kitchen. It is an exceptional culinary experience, paired with the kind of warm, attentive hospitality that has become exceedingly rare in modern dining. The staff here are genuinely delightful, executing a service model that is both highly efficient and impeccably clean. Operating as a curated, staff-served buffet line, the setup allows for effortless customization while ensuring pristine presentation. The value proposition here is outstanding, offering remarkably generous portions at a very approachable price point. The spread is impressively comprehensive, featuring an expansive salad bar, a dedicated dessert display, and a rotating selection of hot entrées. The technical execution of the food is flawless: * The Sides: The mashed potatoes and corn are a revelation--whipped to a light, cloud-like consistency that delivers a perfect balance of buttery richness. * The Staples: The rice is impeccably seasoned and cooked to an ideal texture, serving as the perfect canvas for the deeply flavorful, expertly prepared beans. * The Plantains: The fried plantains are a masterclass in technique, boasting a beautifully crisp exterior that gives way to a tender, caramelized interior. * The Protein: The roasted chicken is a triumph--so succulent and deeply infused with flavor that it commands the plate entirely on its own merit. With a weekly menu rotation that promises new daily variations, this establishment has deservedly earned a permanent spot in my dining itinerary during my month-long stay in town. I look forward to exploring the rest of their repertoire.

    Whenever I'm in the area, I love coming here. Food looks and tastes great! The place is well…read moreorganized and clean! Love the fact that they play salsa and other Spanish food while enjoying a nice Caribbean meal! The serve was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable of all the menu item. Great place for Puerto Rican/ Dominican food.

    I saw this restaurant across the street while stopped at a red light on the way home from my doctor…read moreappointment. It is the #2 location on Culebra Road. My son and I both like Colombian food based on visits to a competitor that we have gone to many times closer to our house. When I mentioned this place to him, he said we should try it out soon. Today was the day. The first thing I noticed was the size of the dining room. It was roomy with several tables that were appropriately spread out. The decor is attractive with eye catching art painted on the white walls. The tables all have a splash of color on them, as well. Altogether is creates a bright and cheery atmosphere. We were very comfortable. I also noticed that the one television on the far wall was showing Univision and the music being played was in Spanish. I really like the music of a restaurant to reflect the nationality of the cuisine. Our server was an extremely helpful young man. He helped us with the menu. Unlike what is stated in other reviews, the food is described in english. Unfortunately, there are some items that don't translate. Those are the ones I needed help with. We both ended up ordering the same thing. It was lengua in a delicious tomato sauce served with french fries, avocado slices, white rice, salad, and a fried plantain patty. The amount of food on the plates was absolutely outrageous, but we managed to get pretty danged close to clean plates. The flavors were really nice. There was a huge squeeze bottle of Salsa Colombiana (I think that's what he called it) and another with Salsa tartara, the Columbian version of tartar sauce. It was amazing. It was creamy and savory without that sweet pickle taste American folk put on seafood. For drinks, I had a jugo de pina. My son had one made with passion fruit. I heard them being made fresh in the kitchen. They blended the fresh fruit with some water or milk and ice. Mine was really refreshing. It was served in those giant iced tea glasses some places use. There was a lady and her son at another table. I listened as they ordered in Spanish. They asked almost the same questions as we did, so being fluent in Spanish must not mean you would understand the Colombia specific food vocabulary. As we were paying our bill, the lady was pointing to everything on her plate asking "What is this?" in Spanish. I found that a little humorous, as the explanations when ordering were pretty good. My son and I had not problems recognizing the foods on our plate based on what we had heard. On our way home, we passed by the Bandera location. My son pointed it out to me. I don't remember ever seeing it there, but my son says he knew about it. That made me wonder why we frequented the competitor on Tezel where we like the food, but felt uncomfortable being packed in so close in the tiny dining room. In the truck, my son was already telling me what he planned to eat next time. There will definitely be a next time. I need to try their arepas and empanadas, as well as some other jugos.

    They do not speak English so it was hard. Nothing is in…read moreEnglish so you just smile & point lol. I ordered an empanada carne & I'm not going to say it was bad but I wouldn't try it again. It was just too much meat & the crust was not for me. Do not let this review discourage you, try them out.
