I had the protein lover bagel, but it was a little oily for me. But I mean, that's usually normal with bacon and all the other meats in there. The Dominican special was simple and good, it was not oily. The bread was fluffy and crunchy. Everything on the plate just went well together! I asked for hot sauce, and they gave a Puerto Rican brand hot sauce! Other restaurants will always offer me tobasco or siracha, which is fine. But I'm in Puerto Rico, and I want to try hot sauce brands from this place!

Hidden (in plain sight) gem!! Did you see someone with a fresh coconut up above the main street in…read moreCondado? They were probably at Rooster's incredible cafe. We caught sight of this scene on Monday and couldn't get that off our minds all week. Before leaving the island we made sure to drop in for a fresh coconut...only to learn this cafe without a menu makes food and beverage to suit your needs. We had plans to get dinner after our coconuts but once we learned what this spot was all about we determined there was no longer a need to go anywhere else. Jonas Serrano is the beautiful mind behind Phyt NYC and has a gym in the same building. He also happens to sometimes be at the cafe ensuring guests with good vibes only are welcomed in. We had the entire space to ourselves on our last night on the island. It couldn't have been more perfect. The food was so good we ordered an extra plate to go for the plane ride the next day. BEST. IDEA. EVER. Thanks to Jonas I had a healthy, delicious meal to keep me satiated on my long haul home. And our last evening in Condado was perfect! After a stressful and busy workweek this was the ideal place to unwind. We had a lovely perch above the busy street below and enjoyed giving Junior (the adorable resident pup) lots of love. If you are a low-key visitor looking for a relaxing space and delicious meal look no further. Don't expect to be served if you are unruly or just looking for your next drink. This is not the place for all that. Have a seat, meet Junior, enjoy the breeze, and if you're lucky, learn a thing or two from Jonas!

This is where I get my favorite shrimp risotto on the island! I absolutely LOVE La Cueva del Elfo…read more I live more than an hour away and I have made the drive on a Friday just to have a glass of wine and my risotto. It's creamy, al dente, it was the perfect amount of seasoning and shrimp. Oh my God! The chorizo al vino is also very good. I love the dark, kind of metal/folk ambiance. The pizza names are super creative too. If you're around Arecibo or Hatillo, you should absolutely check them out. The restaurant is kind of hidden if you come off the main street but it is SO worth it.

A hidden gem in Hatillo. The ambiance and the menu superb and the menu fantastic! It's a repeat!read more

Amazing variety of pastries, giant sandwiches, and great hot dishes…read more How is this place only getting 3 stars? I loved it! I really appreciate the variety it offers. We came on Christmas day. I'm not sure if it is normally this busy or if that was because it is one of the only places that was open. We ended up parking around the corner by the houses. Even though there were a lot of people ordering food, a lot of people were taking it with them, so we were still able to get a seat. You order the hot plates where the food is, but you pay and order everything else at the cash register. This was confusing to us and a couple of us stood in line twice trying to order sandwiches. Oh well, nobody is in a hurry in Puerto Rico. The chicken looks better than it tastes. The skin is amazing, but the meat is a little dry. I would definitely order a sandwich if you come here - and lots of pastries. The sandwich is huge. It is definitely meant to be split. The bread is amazing. I think the best part of this place is the pastries. I tried the guava and cream cheese filled one and there were massive chunks of cream cheese. It was incredible. I also tried one with chocolate coating and what I think was Bavarian cream on the inside. It was a long tunnel shaped pastry- also delicious. This place was close to where we were staying. I'm sad I didn't discover it earlier to walk here every morning and grab a pastry. I would definitely suggest checking this place out if you're looking for an easy breakfast/lunch.

Love that scoop of peanut butter in the middle of everything. Everything was fresh. There was ample açaí. I was definitely full when I left the restaurant. You have to ring the doorbell to enter. There are plenty of tables for a small breakfast shop. Music could have been a little softer. Hard to talk which seems odd for breakfast. You order and pay at the counter and the bring food to you. They advertise smoothies but they were not available. Açaí bowls are fantastic. I got a large latte but it was served in a rather tiny cup. Not sure how their sizes work.

It's a market on one side and a coffee shop on the other. It has lots of seating but very little parking. It's definitely a local neighborhood spot. I'd advise walking. We're so used to flavored creamers. The baristas were so nice to meet me in the middle. They have few syrups. I have a mocha. It was just right! I also tried one of their pastries.
