Must try: Cachapa Chévere!…read more Why: Delicious breakfast, which I tried the Cachapa for the first time! It came with black beans, plantains, cheese, avocado, and I added an egg. The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

For my entrée, I had the skirt steak, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sweet potato with honey and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. My only real complaint is the portion sizes on a couple of items. The salad was very small, and I would have loved a more generous serving. I also ordered an amaretto sour. It was a little weak at first, so I asked for more amaretto, which made it better, but it still wasn't quite as strong as I prefer. The service was phenomenal. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed myself. I would definitely return.

It came with 3 different cuts of steak, 2 sausages, veggies, salad, and 2 empanadas. The presentation was beautiful. The reason we chose that is because we walked past a table that had ordered it and we were both in awe. When we sat down, we sat closest to the street, and our food looked so enticing at least 3 other groups stopped after seeing our food, then decided to eat at El Diez! All three steaks were great! Well seasoned with a perfect hint of salt. We chose the sausage cheese and the corn cheese empanadas, both were delicious. The grilled veggies were mostly onions and green peppers with a very small amount of zucchini. I didn't try the sausages, but it looked good!

We started with calamari, which was excellent, and mussels, which were amazing....we agreed it was one of the best versions we'd ever had. The mussels were served in a delicious Thai style broth that had us sopping up every last drop with the grilled toast accompaniment. If you enjoy mussels this is a MUST try. Our entrees were also terrific. My wife and her friend had the skirt steak and I had the jerk chicken, which was as good (if not better) as any I've had in Jamaica. Great side dishes too. The new owners have revamped the entire menu, including drinks. The "Salt Rock-tini" is a take on the classic drink with tropical flavors and goes down easily....maybe a bit too easily! Bottom line: Salt Rock Grille is a great place for casual lunch or dinner (I see they've also added breakfast if you're staying near 5th Ave.) or to enjoy drinks while doing some people watching. As a bonus, it's away from the densest part of 5th Ave. and the atmosphere is much more relaxed. Highly recommended.

It also came with the house salad (we substituted for the Caesar salad). Every meal also comes with homemade bread with mango chutney and also a bruschetta with a special tomato salsa topping. All of this for only $150 pesos! Oh and did I mention that they have a great dessert selection too?! We were debating over the key lime pie or brownie. We chose the brownie and it did not disappoint.

The flavor of what we ordered was definitely accentuated by how the food was prepared. I guess I can't complain about the "Fuego "part of their food. Why it is lacking to stars is that basically everything they served was charred, there was nothing else offered that could balance out all the burnt food we were eating. So it made everything start to taste the same which was rather unfortunate considering how tasty the food initially seemed. We did get a bit burnt out (haha) with all the char and nothing fresh to balance the burnt flavor. This place would be better for a snack I guess?
