This used to be one of my favorite spots, but not anymore…read more Service was slow even though it wasn't busy. We waited a long time for water, the appetizer came after the main dishes, and no one checked on us. We had to ask multiple employees just to get water once the food arrived. The food was the biggest disappointment. The churrasco plantain sandwich was dry and flavorless. The mofongo and yuca with chicken were bland, and the chicken was tough and needed seasoning. The staff was polite, but not attentive. Being told the tip was "15% no less" at the end didn't sit right either. There are too many great Puerto Rican options out there -- we won't be back.

Y'all, I'm gonna make this quick so I can get back to my food…read more This is one of the best meals I had in Puerto Rico. Hands down. Period. They are open 24/7 and deliver on Uber Eats so you have no excuse not to get you some. The bacalaitos were delicious! Chewy and tender and perfectly fried. Generous portion. Enough to share, although if you reach over here you might pull back a nub. Moving on... The rice and beans. Savory, saucy delicious carbs. What's not to love? Amarillos/platanos/fried sweet plantain (whatever you want to call them)... Yum!! Mind you, they're not caramelized like their Jamaican or Trinidadian counterparts... So adjust your expectations accordingly. I had some cilantro crema leftover from another meal that I thought would be good with them... And I was so right. And last, but certainly not least... The flan de coco. I love flan, but I've never had coconut flan... Until now. Easily one of the best flans I've ever had and probably the best dessert I've had out of all of my trips to Puerto Rico. Ok, I gave y'all all the information you need to know about this place. Why are you still reading this? Go get you some! And if you don't, that's fine too... I'll just eat your share. And no you can't have any.

When it comes to Puerto Rican food, I truly only know Grandma's cooking. Our close friends mom,…read morewhom we refer to as Grandma cooked some of the best Pernil,arroz con gondules, tostones, and so on. So on our first night in the PR, we definitely wanted some authentic Puerto Rican food and with no recommendations, I resulted to what I know and did some Yelp searching. Not far from us was Toston Jibareño. As soon as we entered, I knew we were in the right place. The place has a decent amount of people inside so I knew it had to be ok. The menu has items I wasn't familiar with, but I went with what I thought I knew. Let me just say everything we ordered was spot on authentic to what I know. The pork chops was out of this world. The mofongo's and tostones brought back memories, the skirt steak was so tender and they did not have arroz con gondules, but instead arroz con habichuelas which are beans and I can't eat beans. It was a great first night. As much as I would love to come back,I have to try different places and different things, but if you are a local and haven't been here or a tourist and want good PR food, this is a great first stop.

My friends and I shared the skirt steak with mofongo, and the mofongo was the best we had our entire trip. We got to try to chicharron too, and it was crispy and flavorful. The steak was tender and juicy. I can't remember much else from the meal, but I would definitely come back, even just for the mofongo alone!

To provide some context for the story I'm about to tell, I need to explain why a white Anglo-Saxon…read moreProtestant from the beautiful state of Kentucky came to find himself in the tropical paradise known as Puerto Rico. I happen to be a member of a church, which I will not name, in my home state. Said church happened to be providing a one-week youth mission trip with a reputable Christian organization. I was on that trip. It was the fifth night of our journey when my group walked into a restaurant, the sign above the door displaying the name "Metropol" in bold lettering. This establishment was night and day compared to the first restaurant we happened to dine at. To start, Metropol's interior design was elegant--dark colors, well-placed lighting, and walls tastefully adorned with photos and artwork of the island's various attractions. By contrast, Vaca Brava (located in Old San Juan) was rowdy, reminiscent of a Texas Roadhouse in the most unaesthetic and tasteless way imaginable. Other differences included the wait time, prices, and food quality, all of which were significantly better at Metropol. It was within the walls of Metropol that I had the fourth life-changing dining experience of my life, and the most spectacular detail is this: it wasn't even my food. No, though the dish I ordered (in fluent Spanish) was worthy of five stars, the sandwich that changed my life was ordered by Xavier. Any additional information about Xavier is irrelevant to the story. All you need to know is that, for the low price of five dollars, Xavier sold me a fairly large piece of el sandwich de bistec--a sandwich listed only in Spanish and tucked away in the "Special" section of the menu. I truly believe that if I were to detail the full breadth and depth of the flavor that entered my body the moment my teeth punctured that soft bread, I would need to write more than any man has ever written. The combination of steak, cheese, and who knows what else that lay within the masterpiece I was tasting was enough to convince me that it could not have been crafted by human hands, no matter how gifted. No, this sandwich was something else entirely--something I can only describe as divine. One bite was enough to make me close my eyes and sink back into my chair. The world fell still around me, and suddenly, everything was dark. I drifted through this void for what felt like hours before noticing something bright swiftly approaching. As it drew nearer, I realized what it was: me. Or rather, me before entering Metropol. I watched myself for hours as I went about my daily tasks, living the only life I had ever known. This vision of myself gradually began to fade, quickly giving way to what I can only imagine was my future self. In that moment, I realized that everything in my life had been leading up to this experience and that everything in my future had been decided by the simple fact that my youth leader chose to take us to this specific restaurant. When I finally floated back into the body of my former self, there was no food left on my plate. I will never forget this place. It has changed my life, and I hope it changes the life of whosoever happens to stumble upon this review. Overall, pretty good food and fast service. Five stars.

Nos puso en una mesa que mientras estuvimos esperando, por ahi no paso un mesero en 10 minutos asi que tuvimos que salir a que nos pusiera en otra mesa.

Los peores tostones. Eso ni los aplastaron de lo gordo que estaban. Lo siento pero por ahora, no vuelvo en buen tiempo. RIP Metropol Guaynabo.
