Serious Mofungo game here. It was actually because La Garita down the street was closed for the holiday that we discovered this spot for the first time. Good news for English speakers- the menu is bi-lingual while still having that local neighborhood feel. I was impressed with the quality of the chicken, and the portion of the octopus and pork for the prices. Portions will leave you with leftovers- and you will definitely want to eat them again. I wasn't going to get dessert, but glad we had a little pressure to go for it, because the flan was amazing. A part of me wishes that the lemonades were natural, but not everything can be amazing. If you like a really sweet, almost soda-like sangria, this is the one for you. Service was kind and patient, and on the more relaxed side- call them when you need them kind of vibe.
Catching up on reviews during this pandemic but I was here back in February and absolutely loved that I found this hidden gem via Yelp. The food was delicious here and hands down, one of the best meals I've had on my many trips to Puerto Rico. This place is really off the beaten path (a bit sketchy TBH) and the ambiance isn't that great, but who cares when the food is excellent? Service was good for the most part, a little slow in the beginning but it was busy in here. I got the seafood paella with tostones on the side and it was really delicious. Portion was huge (I should of shared it - I did do that towards the end of my trip with other places) but I did manage to finish it, haha! Couldn't let any of it go to waste :) Fried calamari was great as well. Highly recommend!
WOW. SIMPLY WOW. If you make it out to the Bacardi distillery, and are craving some delicious eats in the area, I highly encourage you to check out this AMAZING and super local spot. If you are not in the area, I still recommend it, because... well it's really THAT GOOD. The simple fact that the place was full of locals and constantly busy was a good sign. Don't let the humble exterior fool you - this spot is really legit. The menu is extensive and all plates can be made family style. Our carb cravings were REAL after our rum tasting tour, so we opted for the fettuccine with mixed seafood for one. Yes, this plate was for one but can EASILY feed two. If you have a large party, it's god to share if you order something else. But I digress... the creamy garlic sauce was reminiscent of an Alfredo sauce, and all the decadent goodness that comes along with it. There was also a mofongo in the middle of the dish - which was delightfully crunchy and paired so well with the sauce and pasta. They really did not skimp at all on the seafood - mussels, shrimp, fish, conch, calamari... it was all there and in abundance. We actually ran out of carb before we ran out of protein - can you believe that?! We also kept the party going with a pitcher of sangria. When they say a pitcher, it's a PITCHER. like the kind that you usually get water in. The beverage was sweet but not too overpowering and paired excellently with our meal. It was also reasonably priced at $24! The service here is outstanding. Familiar and polite, never pushy and super friendly - we received recommendations, mulitple check-ins during our meal, and just a lovely atmosphere for this dinner. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!... What a way to end our last day in P.R, Bacardí tour (excellent) and top it off with a delicious dinner, an unexpected but great find. After we finished the tour we were starving, so the Yelpers that we are, we turned to our always faithful Yelp app and started browsing and came across Los Serranos, just a quick 5-7 minute drive from the distillery. From the moment we walked in, I felt a warm welcome, the ambiance is very home like, with pictures and artifacts from the sea. The restaurant was full with all local clientele, I feel we were the only outsiders which in my humble opinion was a good tell. The service was excellent, very polite, welcoming and honest. He was honest and transparent with us about their portions and how many people could feed off of one menu item. We had the Fettuccine con marisco (with seafood), I gotta tell you, my tastebuds were dancing of joy with this meal, oh and you get a complimentary seafood soup as well right from the start. Amazing food, excellent service, great vibe in and out in the streets a great experience overall.
THE BEST FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN IN P.R. I don't that that statement lightly either. This place is in the middle of a tiny town that one wouldn't look twice at - some stray dogs are running by and it's quiet... but when you open the doors to Los Serrano's you're in for a big surprise! Filled with people cheering a, talking, music, conversations, laughter. It's packed! The waiters are the owners and family members working together. They were very attentive, nice, and on it. The menu was in Spanish and English which was great. We didn't hesitate - we knew what was good here which was the Seafood Paella - we got the big portion that would feed all four of us and then some. We also got the skirt steak with chimmichurri - medium. Also the lobster. We also got a bunch more things because we really was eating with our eyes. Everything was cooked perfectly. Made to order, and so damn delicious!!!!! I really hope people come out here because this surpassed all of old San juans food.
We checked out the beach and decided to find this place for a quick bite before heading back to San Juan. Luckily we found parking within walking distance. We sat down and found the service to be super friendly and helpful, despite a slight language barrier. There were not that many people who spoke English at this establishment, but we muddle through with some Spanglish to success. I was really excited to try the mofongos, it being a sort of national dish. However, I found the mofongos to be a bit overwhelming. I loved the chicken dish I got. But I really did not understand what mofongo was until I was served. At which point I wish it was served with rice because I am not quite sure how to eat curried chicken and yam-like dish with a cabbage slaw. But maybe that's how all mofongo dishes are. Personally I just needed to cut through the dish with something like rice to enjoy it better. What I did enjoy was the corn fritters. OMG. These were incredible. I don't think I've ever had any like them. And they came with this pink sauce that definitely had some ketchup in it. Sooo good. I wish I could have packed those fritters and brought them home! If we ever came back, I would order corn fritters to go, take them to the beach and enjoy them by the ocean!
Best authentic Puerto Rican food! Had the arroz con pollo and avichuelas and have to say it's been the best I've had so far!! Also amazing service from the staff they even went and made us our own special hot sauce
This place is a hidden gem. The seafood soup is delicious and so is the paella. Very authentic place and the food is very fresh. There was no wait and our food came pretty fast. Definitely a place to try while you're in Puerto Rico.

The seafood here is delicious! Everything is so tasty and full of flavor. My husband is not a seafood person but not to worry since he got the arroz con pollo and side of fried thy he loved. Our waitress was the sweetest lady ever who let us know that the restaurant has been around for 34 years now and it shows!! read more
