I will give them a pass as it was Labor Day weekend they were understaffed drinks were in small plastic cups, that was a fail. The sausage links in wine was a fail overcooked and warm not hot.

The only 4 star was the beans as they were cooked and had Calabasa and ham and had flavor.

I ate a quarter of the soup and half the mofongo side, couldn't eat as I was so aggravated. We get the check and not even a discount, they charged us for the full bill. Absolute insanity.

Highly recommend mofongo mero and arroz mamposteado. The drinks ALL of them were top notch. Plus lots of beautiful photo ops around the restaurant. Can't wait to come back!

Por suerte pedimos varios aperitivos y estuvieron tan malos que no llegamos a ordenar nada más para almorzar. Empezamos pidiendo un caldo de pescado, parecía grasa pero estaba aguao' aguao' y soso, malo. También pedimos un coctél de carrucho, por $16.99 literal solo tenía 7 pedazos de carrucho pequeñitos y el resto era lechuga mojada con el picadillo de cebolla y pimiento, de sabor, nada espectacular. Los camarones al ajillo, que son imposibles de dañar, no sabían a nada y parecían hervidos (hasta tenían la espumita blanca por encima), hubiera querido pedir sal pero la joven no salía a atendernos; los tostones parece que habían estado sumergidos en aceite frío por varios minutos, así que también fueron imposibles de comer, y por último los chicharrones de pescado, más bien parecían haber frito una tilapia, con un poquito de mayo-ketchup nos lo pudimos tragar pero no era un buen filetito de pescado. En fin, lo único bueno fueron las cervezas porque ni el jugo de toronja tenía sabor. El servicio fatal, ni a cobrarnos se acercaban a la mesa así que tuvimos que ir personalmente a la caja. Un lugar muy bonito, solo necesita unos nuevos cocineros (porque chefs no deben ser) y empleados que disfruten y valoren su trabajo.

One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone.

As a Puerto Rican, that's honestly a bit disappointing and feels out of place. That said, the food itself has been very good.

The hot sauce on the table was nice, not too hot but a good kick, I usually do not like habanero based hot sauces but this was good! The Queso Frito was interesting in flavors & textures, delicious. El Conflicto was perfect, all the flavor of a pina colada but without the heaviness of syrups & sugar. The Pollo Borracho was super flavorful & filling, chicken cooked to perfection falling off the bone. My fiancé had the Carne Frita, it was super tender & a well balanced dish.

We were first to walk o so the place was empty, but it was weekday. They do have bands come in and play live music. Service was okay, seems a little slow and not enough attention for only 2 tables available. However the waitress was nice and pleasant. She made good recommendations and we tried multiple parts of the menu. Location is huge, right next to water and roller skating rink available. It is behind a hotel, enough parking for around 10 cars inside but more parking Available outside the area (marina). Food was little slow to serve and not completely hot. It was all good flavor not too salty. Fish was well cooked and looked amazing. Drinks, area where they lacked. Need to have better bartender for mixed drinks. Not alot to choose from either on the bar. I would recommend if you're in the area and looking for some seafood. A little pricey for a local, but reasonable prices for tourist. Enjoy your stay and eat away!
