    Really good good if you are looking for authentic Puerto Rican food. The staff was really nice and helpful when asking what places to visit around.

    Amazing meal after a good workout hiking to the waterfall at El Yunque. Everything was delicious

    Amazing meal after a good workout hiking to the waterfall at El Yunque. The chicken pastelles were delicious, as were the beans. The fried cheese was mild but tasty, and the beef empenadas were very rich. Wish they had a Puerto Rican restaurant like his back home in Los Angeles!

    This place is a banger ... and I know bangers…read more Put it like this. If my mom cooked this good I would have never left the HOUSE. Amazing steak and yellow rice with abichula. Food was amazing after a 3hr hike at el yunque ! Service was fast! We ate outside and as a storm passed and got to enjoy good food and vibes.

    Right after visiting El Yunque Rainforest we were hungry and while driving down we saw El Yunque…read moreTreehouse so we looked at the menu online and said sure let's give it a go. A good sized parking lot and they have indoor and outdoor seating. We were greeted by Abnier who was our server and bartender. He told us inside was extremely hot, it would be better to sit outside by the fan- which we did. We did peak on the inside and it was lit up nicely and they had a tree right in the center- which was pretty cool. Abnier was very kind and attentive. We had gotten passion fruit drinks, which were delicious! I might say the menu is extremely limited and a little different tastings from what I'm used to when I come to Puerto Rico. I got the fried cheese with guava sauce underneath it was pretty good. Overall I liked my meal, the meal I originally wanted they didn't have, so that was a bummer so I just got the appetizer as a meal instead, so I was still hungry right after the fact. But it would've been nice to sit inside and enjoy it. Would I come back here probably not. But I did enjoy my time.

    Made reservations for dinner and were seated on our promised time. The place was packed - not…read moresurprised given it was right in the middle of the resort with easy access. Frankie was our waiter - very friendly and attentive. We got straight to ordering which included a couple of things including Truffled Mushroom Pizza ($24), Truffle Fries ($14), Shrimp + Grits ($32), and a few others. These were the most notable. The pizza was great, but could've used slightly more mushrooms at that price point. Service was excellent all throughout, and they have a very attentive team.

    Had dinner in the patio after a long day in the rainforest and then beach. Ordered the wedge salad,…read moresalt and pepper calamari, smash-burger, and a couple of desserts. The wedge salad was fresh, but could have used more bacon and blue-cheese crumbles. The salt and pepper calamari was also tasty and cooked perfectly; it was served with a lemon aioli. The smash-burger had two patties, and standard fixings - lettuce, tomato, and a sauce. The plate came with season fries. We also ordered dessert. We ordered the pineapple upside down cake, which was amazing. The cake was super moist and buttery. We also ordered pistachio ice-cream, which was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. They also split everything and brought extra plates. Reservations are encouraged because this place can get busy. There is a take-away window so you can still enjoy the food! Enjoy!
