Great spot next to the beach with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, while our waiter was lovely,…read moreeverything else was a trainwreck. The place was not full or busy at all and there were lots of wait staff around taking orders. We ordered a few appetizers and eventually our main course. We waited... and waited... and waited. One and a half hours later, after our waitress checked on the order several times, our order came along with the appetizers. She knew we were very disappointed and was very apologetic, but acknowledged that she had no idea what the kitchen was doing. The food: soggy queso frito, good sorullos and ham croquetas. The breaded shrimp was good. They got my lobster mofongo order wrong and gave me the wrong sauce. At that point we'd been waiting for over 1.5 hours for everything so I didn't care. The food was at room temperature, which was even more enraging. To top things off, we spoke to the manager to tell him about our experience, to which he asked "And what do you want me to do about it?" Well, taking off one of the appetizers or offering us a dessert on the house would have been nice considering people left and right were leaving the restaurant disgruntled. Maybe even an apology and a promise to do things better if we ever decide to join them again. The verdict: the place has been open only 2 months and, while it's in a great location and the surroundings are beautiful, I don't expect them to stay open without amping up their service and kitchen practices. I don't think I'll ever go out of my way to eat there again, which is sad because I really wanted to support a post-Maria local business.

Baked potatoes were definitely nuked so the inside was boiling hot and outside hard. The chicken quesadillas were made with frozen mixed veggies that were still thawing when brought to table.

Expected so much more for the price...
