My grandma lives right around the corner from this trendy place. I heard from the neighbors and…read morefamily members that this place has tasty food. Well, I finally got to try it. Since it's so close I decided to pickup the order. We got the most talked about sandwich, The Tripleta. Tripleta means triple and this sandwich has 3 kinds of meat (roast pork, chicken and ham). This comes with fries and a piece of crackling pig skin. We also got the roast pork with tostones and this also comes with a crackling pig skin. The roast pork is so tender and delectable. The tostones were surprisingly really good. They had a hint of garlic and crunchy. My sandwich, The Tripleta was AMAZING. The bread was so soft but held all the insides and never broke. The meats inside mixed so well together. It was so delicious. And they are not shy with their meat. I swear I was going to eat half but I ate the whole thing. It also comes with mayo ketchup sauce. The crackling was so crunchy and full of flavor. The pickup was so easy and the lady helping me was so nice. The inside was intimate yet nice. I'm looking forward to eating there next time and yes there will be a next time.

We did ham and cheese and pastrami and I would have to do a side by side with Katz to find out which I prefer. 10/10 ambiance.

We had a long wait, but it was worth every minute of it. The appetizers (sandwiches of ham, turkey, chorizo) were phenomenal. The meat (churrascos and rib eyes) were all prime cuts and cooked to perfection; juicy and flavorful. We were a party of 8 and we were all more than pleased and happy with the food and service. Easy 5 stars . By the way, the place is truly a bakery, but surpasses many named and even recognized or so called restaurants.

***THE BEST CUBAN SANDWICH!***…read more A typical Puerto Rican small town "cafetería", very casual, but cute and warm, with lots of wood decoration. They have a lot of wines, cheeses and specialty hams, very much like Spanish "cavas". They have bakery sweets and sandwiches, breakfasts and snacks like croquettes and such. But they make, hands down, the BEST Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Ask for "pan sobao" -- a slightly sweeter and softer kind of bread. Great coffee too! It's a little too far from San Juan, unless you're headed towards Arecibo to do some tourism, in which case, this is an excellent locals stop on your way. :-) Disclaimer: Please remember Puerto Rico is not big on Yelp yet, since it's small enough for any local to find restaurants, therefore business owners don't advertise a lot and locals have no real need for it. So you see just 1 rating and review here now, but don't be fooled. Compare with my Florida and California reviews if you feel unsure. :-) -----------------------------------En Puertorro, ahora---------------------------------- Yo estudié entre Vega Baja y Manatí, y paraba mucho aquí a comerme el sandwich Cubano, que lo hacen delicioso. Es una pena que esta cafetería-deli casi no tenga reseñas, porque en Puerto Rico todavía no le cogen el piso a lo de Yelp. Pero ciertamente no tiene una sola reseña porque no sea excelente. Me encanta también lo de los acentos en madera, tipo español, y las variedades de vino, quesos y jamón Serrano. :-)

We had seen this truck parked here all week, but this night was the night I would commit to trying it, and I am happy I did. I can't even remember the name of the sandwich I got, but I know it contained three meats and that was enough to this carnivore to get it. The sandwich was delicious, it hit the spot, just what I needed at 3:30 in the morning, I highly recommend you try them no matter what time of the day you get the craving. BTW, the location on Yelp is wrong, or they have a second truck.

So we found this food truck not far down the street from the DoubleTree. Their menu was not that hard to understand even for non-Spanish speakers for the most part, but then when it comes to something novel ("What is a fongo?"), the lack of an explanation and choppy English-language skills might not help very much. So after a bit of pointing and gesticulating, we ended with an artisanal burger and some fongos pollo. The food was OK - freshly prepared and quite substantial. For my taste, it relied a bit much on grease and mayonnaise. Still a decent taste of local fare - or IS it considered authentic local fare? Apparently, they are pretty big for a food truck - 5 or 6 different locations at least, depending on which truck you want!
