We stopped by Restaurante Dona Ana for dinner as it was recommended to us by our tour guide. It's located inside a plaza, so at first we didn't think it was open, but then we realized it was, so we were happy about that. When we walked in, we were happy to see that there was a live band playing Puerto Rican music. We ordered the ham croquettes for an appetizer and shared Mofongo with a side of rice and beans, and everything was so delicious. Our server was awesome, and we had a great experience! read more

Amazing food and very friendly service. Be prepared to wait since service can be a bit slow, but it's worth it for the quality of the food. Would definitely come back! read more

Not my first time here, but it's about time I left a review. Every time I come to PR, this place is a must stop. Today I had the sopa de Salchichón, but my favorite is the sopa de gandules. Tostones de Pana (breadfruit) is always a hit. The steak and onions is can't miss as well. You might as well order the whole menu. The staff is always very pleasant, service and family vibes serves a great time. I wish I would have gotten the servers name, but then again, hostess, servers and even the busboys all gave a friendly "good afternoon" and "enjoy your meal" greeting. Can't rave enough about this place. A gem in Bayamon read more

Excellent environment and great food and choices. Music and good location in Bayamon.

Servicio, precios y comida muy buenos. Recomendado y volvería a comer. Hay estacionamiento y tenían planta

Disappointed by the food quality! Food: we ordered the chicken mofongo and I was very disappointed. Both The chicken and mofongo were extremely bland and i needed the spicy Mayo sauce to add some flavor. The tostones do not pair well with mofongo because it is literally the same taste profile. The arroz con habichuelas were good but they gave the tiniest portion of habichuelas for a huge plate of rice. The maize sticks were my favorite part of the meal. Ambience: the restaurant is in the middle of a shopping mall. They did have live music and a lot of seating Service: the service was great! Our server was quick with our food and happy to provide us with extra Mayo sauce read more

Great place, good food, good servers. Had Christmas dinner there. They had a live band playing Christmas carols.

Had Christmas 2024 Dinner here. The Pasteles were good, but there was not a lot of variety. I had shrimp and mofongo, and this was delicious!! The best part was the ambiance. The service was excellent, although the staff was a bit overwhelmed. I loved the live band; they sang Christmas carols in English and Spanish. It was the best Christmas since I moved to Puerto Rico four years ago. read more

It seems not too many tourists make their way out to Bayamon, but for us, it seemed like the natural endpoint after a leisurely ride on the (somewhat creepy and desolate) Tren Urbano. Unfortunately despite the fame of Doña Ana, we found most of what we ordered disappointing. Any traveler to Puerto Rico will find themselves inundated with multiple iterations of mofongo, and the grainy coarse rendition we had here left much to be desired. I much prefer when mofongo is served with chimichurri or other spicier flavors, here we had to specifically request mayo ketchup to add a kick. The arroz con habichuelas would have resurrected the meal, but the portion of habichuelas was extremely stingy. Ambiance also leaves a bit to be desired - the restaurant is essentially in the middle of a shopping mall. read more

I have heard of this jewel for a long time and We finally had the chance to enjoy this place. Its a great place to bring your family, your grandma and even of you dare to bring your mother in law. Its typical Caribbean food at a great price. It was a flash back from when I used to go for lunch at my grandma's house. I had to taste my wife's plate and it was even better than mine ("carne frita"), the "tostones de pana" were perfect. I can't wait to return. read more

This was my FAVORITE meal in all of Puerto Rico. Authentic, fresh, and big portions. I never would have known of this wonderful restaurant if I had not gone to lunch with a local. When the meal came out (beef with rice and beans) I thought the portion was huge. Then I began eating it. And I couldn't stop. The flavor was perfect with the seasoning and onion. Truly the most wonderful lunch. You can shop at market outside when your are done. Cookies candy cigars hats. read more

Visited this restaurant on a Friday night. They had live music which I thought I'd enjoy but it was so loud, I could barely hear my brother who I visited this restaurant with. The restaurant was very full and our waitress a little aloof. I decided on the shrimp in garlic sauce and rice. The food was good but just a bit too cold. It also took a very long time to come out. My brother had the breaded steak which apparently is one of their most popular dishes. I tried it and it was good too! I may visit again on another day to try other dishes but it wasn't the best visit. read more

Restaurante Doña Ana - Puerto Rican Near Me - Bayamón, Puerto Rico

Arguably the most popular all-round eatery in Beautiful BayamOn-by-the -Bay! ( we waited 20 minutes for a table on a Tuesday at 2:30!) place was place was pleasantly packed with babes in arm to octogenarians including Ft. Buchanan military families. My 17-year old twin godsons chose the place for a holiday meal 'best roast beef' with white rice and beans; I took the creole white fish with the house specialty rice; very luscious flan for dessert; guilt-free tropical fruit drinks vie with a full array of soft and hard bevs. Music on the weekends; rad waitstaff; party, party, party! read more

Restaurante Doña Ana - Puerto Rican Near Me - Bayamón, Puerto Rico

I've visited Doña Ana several times and it's the place I go for real tasty Puerto Rican food. The food here in Bayamón is not for the difficult " Gourmet minded tourist". Not that the food isn't gourmet, It's like food being prepared by several Puerto Rican grannies cooking in the kitchen. You start off going to the " ventorrillo" next door to buy a fresh avocado. The guys in the restaurant will cut it for you. Check out the days specials. If you like " Cabrito en fricase" you've come to the right place. Accompany it with a robust beer like Magna, made in PR. Yes the service is haphazard but always pleasant. I highly recommend it for real Puerto Rican food. It's like going down memory lane. read more

Never actually had something I didnt like. The secret is to visit the next door food market and get a ripe avocado and bring it with you. Get there early since at lunch it gets crowded. read more

Ir a Doña Ana y no pedir bistec con arroz y habichuelas cuenta como pecado capital. Y a eso añádele una orden de papitas fritas 'home made' y un aguacatito que compras afuera en la plaza para que te traigan lasqueado con tu plato. No hay más na' que buscar, ni en casa de la abuela queda así. _____ Going to Doña Ana and not ordering bistec (thin cube-steak w/onions) with rice and beans counts as a capital sin. And add to that an order of home made french fries and an avocado you buy just outside in the market for them to bring out sliced with your meal. Not even grandma's recipe is as good!

Have been going to this restaurant for years. And just visited as I was vacationing in PR. Service and food are always great. Plus there is plenty of parking and they are observing Covid prevention protocols. Keep up the great work! read more

The menu is all in Spanish, but the staff can help you out if you don't know what something is--our server's English was not anything close to perfect, and we all got confused at time, but we laughed it off and had fun. Watch them come out with plates, because they do about 10 on one arm. I had the Spanish Tortilla with shrimp which was super good and came with an amazing creamy garlic sauce. It also came with a side so I chose rice and beans which might have been the best beans I have ever had in my life. My friend had a chicken did with fried plantains which she said was great too. It was a lot of food, so come hungry! The sangria is perfect. We came here after the travel channel website lied to us about a nearby place that Anthony Bourdain ate at--don't trust their address! read more

Delightful lunch last week during a recent business trip. We were heading to the lab at Engine-4 to discuss IoT opportunities in Puerto Rico (that's actually another story, for another day). I pulled up my Yelp and found this gem of a restaurant in a tiny strip/bazaar type mini mall. White table cloths, excellent waiter and a delightful meal. Ropa Viejo, Mofongo and their Churassca a la Parilla were excellent. Highly recommended! read more

amazing foods the owner is a nice person . the best of restaurants is a carne humada whit tostones . ahh delicious
