Visita del dia de hoy con mi esposo y mis 3 hijos. (5 personas) Servicio lento y malo. Llegaba todo…read moresuper lento. Luego no nos recogian platos de entremeses ni bebidas como se supone. Pedi un plato para mi hijo y me dijeron no lo tenia por tanto pedimos otra cosa. SE espero casi 30 min y entonces me dicen de la bandeja paisa mia no tenian carne molida. Osea, 30 min y no habian preparado la orden aun. Se espero periodo largo por platos. Al llegar ordenes el churrazco que me dieron como sustituto para la bandeja estaba gomoso como juguete. Pese a haberlo pedido bien cocido, el corte de carne no se pudo jamas cortar con cuchillo ni manos, literalmente era un pedazo de goma y rojo. Del plato de mi esposo, que era La picadera el Ricon; la carne estaba imposible de comer, parecia carne seca como Jerkey y el olor era de carne dañada o abombada. El sabor desagradable. No se pudo disfrutar ni de la visita por el mal servicio ni de la comida ya que estaba pesima. Se le informó a la mesera y se desaparecio por rato largo. Otra mesera cuando le dio la gana de aparecer a cobrar todo los entremeses, bebidas y los 5 platos, se le dio a oler la carne y asintio que si era desagradable. Al volver a explicarle que desde 5:30 pm apriximado estabamos alli esperando por la orden y lo malo que nos trajeron a la mesa, la mesera se fue y dijo buscaria al getente. Psaron casi 15 min y nadie apprecia. Fui a la caja a pagar en area de la barra y a dar la queja de lo disagreeable de la comida y del pesimo servicio. Tristemente e visitado Colombia ya 2 veces y su comida no es así, este lugar no representa ni el servicio, alegría ni la buena gastronomia colombiana. Esta experiencia fue una desgracia. Y ni chef ni gerente dieron la cara. Trnsacción 600042 ticket se cerro a las 7:06 pm y nos sirvio pesimo Sara. La misma a la que acudi para pagar los $174.57 sin propina ya que la comida y la experiencia fue fatal. Ahh y las arepas que nos sirvieron en cada plato eran piedras de rio de lo duras que eran. Aquello estaba incomible. No recomiendo este lugar. Porque no mostraron ningun interes en que la comida estaba en tan pesimas condiciones. Y solo digeren que " la gerente" estaba muy ocupada como para salir a atender nada. Si quieren intoxicarse com carnes abombadas o perder dientes con las piedras que dan de arepas. Este es el lugar. NO LO RECOMIENDO. THIS PLACE ITS A FOOD HAZARD WITH A BAD SERVICE.

Steak tacos were decent, husband liked his crab Mofongo, but the guac was very soupy. They put a dollop of pico on top for aesthetics, and I think it just caused it to become watery and tasteless. Kids enjoyed the churros for desert.

She saw me walking by, chatted me up, invited me in to dine and the rest is history. She was so personable and so funny and really made me feel welcome. Same for the rest of the staff. They created a really light and chilled out atmosphere that was just so inviting. You can tell they genuinely enjoy working with one another. And that definitely translates over into the guest experience. The pina colada I had was hands down the best one ever. This definitely did not come from a mix in a bottle. Just unbelievably delicious. I started off with the alcapurrias. Wow. You have to get these. Perfectly fried, chewy, meaty, seasoned perfectly... If that's the only thing I ate here it would have been well worth it. I haven't had mofongo in over 15 years and I recently learned about trifongo, which is a combination of mashed sweetened and unsweetened plantain, as well as cassava. I ordered the trifongo with shrimp and steak. Oh. Wow. The flavors. The textures. Every bite was something different. At each bite was amazing. The meal little pricey, but OMG was it absolutely worth it. If you are visiting Puerto Rico, no matter where in Puerto Rico you're visiting, you must make a trip here.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. A special thank you to the staff for the wonderful hospitality.

Since I've always seen the long lines outside this store when I passed by, we decided that we try to go in as soon as it opened. So, we lined up around 11:30am. We barely waited much and we got seated. The server that day was quick/efficient/friendly despite the fact that she was running a one woman show. And the food arrived within a decent time. My friends and I decided to order the PUERTO RICAN PLATTER with a side of a side salad. This platter comes with everything you could want & maybe something that might be a bit adventurous for you to eat like blood sausage. Despite that, it's a nice platter to share and try a bit of everything. It's really nice that if you order for 4 people, they give you exactly the amount of pieces that are divisible by 4 (so everyone can try 1-2 pieces of each thing evenly). It also comes with a decent amount of rice/pork as a supplementation, which was nice. It's a balanced meal. And I think the side salad did well to balance out all the fried foods. Overall, we really enjoyed this place. It's a great place to come with friends/families to share. It's a great place as a visitor to try a bit of everything. The platter is a great introduction of puerto rican fried finger foods. And it all taste great! From the presentation of the food to the service here, it's all good. I would recommend this place to others.
