I ordered the tenderloin filete mofongo mixto (tenderloin steak, mushrooms, onions, red peppers and green peas over mofongo in a brown gravy). Truly delicious!! My husband got the Pechuga Rellena (chicken cordon bleu) and it was the best one we have ever had. Finished up with a tres leches and cortado and could not be happier to have come to La Casa del Chef for our meal! The wait staff was also lovely answering all the questions we had. Plenty of locals enjoying their meals here as well, no surprise at all given the 5 star meal we had

We had an assortment of appetizers (all fried but hey, it's Puerto Rico and we fry a lot of things) The temperature of the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking. I think the amount of people there is what made it warm. Food was not elevated cuisine but it was a decent price and good quality. I'd say close to homemade Puerto Rican food. I'd go again. Many plates to choose from with a great variety. Happy that we went:

My Mom was on the search for a fresh "carrucho" (conch) for a long time, she had very disappointed experience in other Seafood Trucks. She order the "Carrucho Salad" and her wait was finally over, she was completely satisfied, like a kid on a candy store. The Flavor, the portion and the "tostones" (fried plantain) perfectly proportioned and crispy. EVERYTHING was fresh, delicious and made to order. Nothing was pre-made. I did observe the staff working preparing the food, they look like they're been doing this for long time (albeit there youthful looks). Definitely a place my family will be visiting more often. The staff was fantastic, super friendly and they look like family and part of the new generation of young entrepreneurs business owners. More power to the new generation.

I think we arrived around 9pm and ordered yet more drinks. We took a look at the menu and I asked if they could make the pulled pork sandwich as sliders. They were fine with that and out came the 3 tastiest pork sliders I've ever had. The bbq sauce was perfect on the combination of sweet and spicy and the pickle on top was a great touch. They came with a side of chips with nacho cheese that was a bit cold, but nothing could stop me from raving about the pulled pork. Someone else in the group ordered the calamari which was great and had one of the best dipping sauces I've ever had - a white sauce with garlic and lemon. Best part was the Don-Q signs that we all took pictures posing with. Definitely a fun place in downtown Ponce!
