    We discovered this uniquely special place on Yelp after traveling to Puerto Rico with our daughters college basketball team which played at near by UPR Bayamon. The bar/restaurant is basically the car port of the family's house, which has operated here for thirty years. There is no set menu, its new every day. The food is prepared fresh and differently everyday -- unique and fantastic. The food was the best we had during a weeks vacation - So good our group of 14 parents went there twice. We were treated like old friends by Jose, his sister who cooked our fabulous meals and everybody who worked there. The neighborhood car port bar is compete camouflage to the truly remarkable food. The most unique and special dining/eating experiences of our trip and maybe lives. See food photos.

    ALL TOGETHER NOW…read more Both sides of our family enjoyed a nice dinner at this restaurant in Guaynabo. It's rare that my wife's parents and my parents get to share a meal together, as they're usually separated by 2,000 miles. When my folks flew down to Puerto Rico for New Years 2024, they joined us at Típico, a trendy Puerto Rican restaurant southwest of San Juan. Everyone liked their cocktails, including a lavender martini and Long Island-type drink made with blue Curaçao. I was on flu meds so I had to excuse myself from imbibing, although sticking with water helped keep the bill down (which, considering the previous night's splurge, was probably for the best). The queso frito & prosciutto ($13) could have been a really tasty appetizer, sadly they were long past overcooked. The paneer-like cheese cubes with drizzle of guava sauce spent too much time in the fryer and came out hard as rocks. We actually got two orders and both were burnt. On the other hand, my brother-in-law ordered the mofongo de churrasco ($29) and it got rave reviews. I ordered the pechuga empanada ($18), thinking it would be a savory filled pastry, but it was basically a chicken cutlet with tostones. It was delicious in spite of user error (I later found out that what I sought were 'empanadillas', not 'empanadas'). Bread = 4 Circuses = 3.5 The dining room is on the smaller side, perfect for date nights but not ideal for large groups....which our party of 8 adults + 2 kids certainly was. Maybe it was our fault for reserving a bigger table at an intimate venue, but the food took a very long time to come out (upwards of 45-50 minutes). It soon became apparent that we overloaded the kitchen; my brother-in-law's girlfriend received her food 15 minutes after everyone else. The ambiance inside was fashionable and a bit nicer than I expected. Bathrooms were clean. They have valet outside since parking spaces are limited. * TL;DR * While our experience was fine overall, under different circumstances it might've been better. It's possible we caught the kitchen off-guard by slamming them with eight entrees at once, although a decently trained staff should be able to handle a wave of orders like that. Just to be safe I'd suggest booking as a group of 2-4. Despite the burnt appetizer and long delays in service, I'd still recommend Típico.

    Bad service, please don't attempt to just walk in and try to have lunch/dinner without a…read morereservation. Very exclusive place, where they have open tables but tell you that you must make a reservation at 5pm.

    This was my second time visiting Burbujas by René and once again, me and my partner were so…read moreimpressed. First, the servers were outstanding, so friendly and helpful that you feel taken care of from the moment you walk in. Even though you'll have a main server, anyone on the team is quick to assist if you need something. The restaurant is very clean and well lit. The only note is that parking is strictly valet, so plan for that. The food was fantastic across the board (just as we remembered it). We tried the croquetas de jamón (ham croquettes) and queso frito (fried cheese) to start, and both were fresh, crispy, and perfectly prepared! For our entrees, I went with the pollo empanada (breaded chicken) while my husband had the bistec empanada (breaded steak), we each got a side of arroz y habichuelas (white rice & red beans). I added maduros and garbanzos on the side, the garbanzos were easily some of the best I've had in Puerto Rico! What stood out to me as well was that the owner, René, he made a point to walk around and greet every single guest, thanking them for stopping by. That kind of personal touch says a lot for me. Overall, I'd recommend Burbujas by Rene to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Puerto Rican comida criolla. Definitely worth a visit!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND…read more GREAT LOCAL PLACE. You feel like part of the family. Service and staff are excellent. Very clean and nice inside. We had the KAN KAN and the crust was like meat candy and perfect. Overall great experience.
