When I say wait time I mean from time we ordered till the food made it to the table. I think food was left out and not bought out to us as soon as it was done because fish and shrimp were cold and the Tostones were hot. spent close to $140 for 3 "Including tip" we all had same price dishes and two appetizers " Small Portions"@ 10+ each appetizer 3 drinks with Zero alcohol. I would not recommend this place for dinner at those prices and food arriving Cold. good spot for fried finger foods, like Empanadillas,etc Just not dinner, it's over priced and food was bland, Cold, dry, nothing special. To be fair, waiter was nice and efficient also offered free desert on the house after complaint, but we declined. We were going out for frappes afterwards.

Popped into this place to check out the music. The hotel staff recommended it. The ambience was…read morespot on there were two different rooms, actually three. Each of them have different music. One room, the main area had salsa, dancing, and music and eventually at 9:30 PM a live salsa band came on. That was a whole lot of fun however it was very crowded. The second room had a nice house music going on. There was a bar and a DJ and it was not as busy as the main area was. And the third room was the bar that leads to the outside called La Cubanita, which was playing mellow lounge music with a tropical beat. The food at La Factoria was definitely overrated and just OK. I did not think it was worth the price and I probably would not eat there again. None of us really liked what we ordered, but we ate it because well... We were hungry. They do offer a wide range of beverages from your standard beer, wine, and top shelf brands, however, they are known for their own concoctions. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. Overall, we had fun, and it was not too pricey for the beverages. I don't think that I would ever go again, especially not later in the week as it is so busy, and we went on a Monday and we were dancing cheek to cheek!!! Enjoy!

Initially we were seated in the back, as all the tables were taken, and drink orders were made. We moved to a table after the first round of drinks. The drinks were well crafted and strong.

The servers were very friendly and helpful and, other than the waits, it was an excellent establishment.

Our waitress Franchely was very nice but I think it was too much for her to do on her own. She was making drinks and bringing our orders. The other worker was doing nothing but sitting there. Didnt help her at all. This should he comprised of teamwork. We ordered the bandeja familiar at $95, which is fine, however you didn't bring any sauce with it, no mayo ketch, no ketchup, no mojito, no limón. We had to ask for it. Franchely then comes back with one of those jello sized portions of chimichurri sauce, homegirl did you not see this bandeja how big it is? Everything was dry and what wasn't dry was too greasy. The chuletas can can were mega oily. The tostones were rock hard not edible. Everything else was meh. We ended up taking the whole thing home, maybe to feed the dogs. The octopus was bad. It seems as if it was sitting there for a while. It wasn't tasty. It was bland. The peppers weren't crunchy. It was a big soggy mess and room temperature warm., not chilled The drinks here are on point. They're tasty, delicious but don't expect to get tipsy. Its all sugar and juice. Lastly, I asked my waitress if she can so something for my friends bday? I suggested the staff singing her happy birthday and she said yes that's fine., however she did absolutely nothing. Totally forgot about the whole thing. I was so annoyed by that but didnt argue because my friends were eager to leave anyway. Salmorejo does a fantastic job advertising but don't believe the hype. You're paying for the decor and drinks, food sucks. My friends and I took advantage of taking pics everywhere. I gave two stars because the waitress wasn't rude, the drinks were tasty, and decor was cute.

Sama was so good that we went twice during our Puerto Rico trip and honestly, I would've gone back…read morea third time if we had more time. This is a smaller, more intimate restaurant, so definitely make reservations ahead of time because seating is limited. But from the second you walk in to the moment you leave, the service is absolutely incredible. The staff makes the entire experience feel so warm and welcoming that you genuinely don't want the night to end. Huge shoutout to the chef because every single dish was executed flawlessly. You can tell that every detail on each plate was intentional and thoughtfully done. The standout dishes for me were the elote ribs, which were unreal, the grilled octopus cooked perfectly tender, and the ceviche con leche de tigre, which was bright, fresh, and packed with flavor. But the real star of the night was the whole branzino absolutely phenomenal. And for dessert? Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the options. We ordered one of each for the table and genuinely could not pick a favorite because every single one was that good. Hands down one of the best dining experiences we had in Puerto Rico.

And most important of all, the four-legged Front of the House Manager aka Rufus, was a delight! The Branzino and Picanha were to DIE FOR!!

I stood in the corner because I'm really shy and introverted and I'm okay with that [shy monkey emoji].
