    Came here for lunch. We had a nice view of the ocean. It's in the perfect location right next to the beach. I ordered the shrimp salad. It was alright, it was definitely too oily but we finished the whole thing. No complaints about the service.

    The plantain cups were so yummy, salsa was bright and fresh.

    Food was delicious, bright fresh flavors. Music inside was too loud for midday in an almost empty space. Service was great. Parking was easy and free. Great outdoor space on the water as well, but it was windy so we sat indoors

    Nice restaurant at the edge of the water. Service was friendly and fast. We ordered the seafood salad, mamposteao rice, potato wedges, and drinks. There's a beach area just to the right with parking for the restaurant. We would come back for more.

    Nice and modern vibe to this beachside restaurant. Nice music was playing in the background and the outside deck was fun to hang out. Marilyn made sure to visit each table and ensure the service and food were on point Mahi Mahi al ajillo was spectacular, mofongo was flavorful, cesar salad was fresh and crisp. Appetizers were good - surullos were perfectly made and sweet. Now on to the fan favorite ...... GUAVA cheese cake was out of this world!!!!!!!! Will come back before my vacation is over! Good job Marilyn and staff!

    Great view. Great food. Good indoor seating and outdoor seating. Worth the trip. Right off the highway. Beautiful.

    I really liked this spot! Nice view of the beach, good parking. The food was also the bomb and my waitress Thalia was super nice.

    Paella????

    Five stars for service, five stars for location and one star for food. The canastas de mariscos were okay, nothing extraordinary but decent; then the "Paella." OMG! That was plain yellow colored rice, with 4 shrimps, 4 mussels and an empty lobster's shell. Where the lobster's meat went? The "Paella" also had broccoli, pieces of carrots and coliflor. If you want to spend $30 on a big pile of rice, with frozen vegetables and chewy seafood, go for the paella, otherwise save your $30 and walk away from their food and enjoy a drink on the deck overlooking the sea. Also, the place is incredibly noisy, not acoustics. I was going to give five stars but unfortunately, the "paella" and the noise away 3 stars.

    This place is a hidden gem on the northwest coast of Puerto Rico in Hatillo. The views, food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The attention was wonderful. I'd give more stars if I could. You need to try it. We had the coconut mojitos which were absolutely delicious. Octopus ceviche, mofongo de pollo I'm creo sauce and the plantan soup. Everything was absolutely delicious!

    Nice beachfront family restaurant. Go for the view and ambience. Food is nothing special. A bit noisy.

    As stated to yelp when I put this place in the system... OMG. FUN GREAT AMBIENCE AND PEOPLE SERVING…read moreGREAT FOOD DONE RIGHT... I got excited there. The food is done just right. The lechon is done to such tenderness that it falls off the bone. The crispy crunchy skin is amazing ! The prices is perfect we fed three people with one platter/container serving and still had food left over. The owners are so nice and accommodating and outgoing. That means way lots to me. For the money we got so much food we're taking home tonight's snack. Everything is worth eating here. I'm an extremely picky eater as you all know and I ate there and enjoyed... So get to PR - drive out of San Juan the capitol city and go northwest on 22 and go towards Hatillo/Mayaguez and get on rt 2 going left towards Hatillo .... it's on the right side just past Home Depot.... So worth it.

    Every item we tried -- from the lechón to the yucca and potato salad -- was overwhelmingly salty,…read moreto the point that it overpowered any other flavor. It genuinely felt as though salt had been used without restraint. The only dishes that were reasonably enjoyable were the amarillos and the arroz con gandules, which at least had some balance and authenticity. Unfortunately, dessert did not redeem the experience. The bread pudding also carried an unexpected salty taste and seemed as though it had been sitting out for quite some time. The beans were equally disappointing and lacked freshness or depth of flavor. Overall, the meal was deeply underwhelming, especially considering the expectations for traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. Regrettably, this is not a restaurant I would return to. Cada uno de los platos que probamos -- desde el lechón hasta la yuca y la ensalada de papa -- estaba excesivamente salado, al punto de opacar cualquier otro sabor. Honestamente, parecía que la sal se había usado sin ninguna moderación. Los únicos platos relativamente agradables fueron los amarillos y el arroz con gandules, que al menos tenían algo de balance y autenticidad. Lamentablemente, el postre no logró mejorar la experiencia. El budín de pan también tenía un sabor salado inesperado y parecía haber estado expuesto por bastante tiempo. Los habichuelas también fueron decepcionantes y carecían de frescura y sabor. En general, la comida fue sumamente decepcionante, especialmente considerando las expectativas de una cocina puertorriqueña tradicional. Desafortunadamente, es un restaurante al que no volvería ni recomendaria.
