    Fast friendly service, nice atmosphere, delicious pizza and the carbonara was the best I've had.

    They were open a week when we went to visit. It is a quaint space, open air tucked off a side…read morestreet. Having a pizza place on La Esperanza is a nice addition to the restaurant scene here. The service was great, very attentive and explained the concept well. Drinks are pretty commiserate with other establishments. The pizza is $22 for a large pie. We ordered Two margaritas with added sausage, one Hawaiian with added mushroom and one double pepperoni. We shared a Greek salad, which was fresh and large enough for 4. The ham on my Hawaiian was cut so small to nearly be non existent. And there was very little sausage ass an add on to the margarita pizzas. Flavor was good. I would definitely give them a second try.

    I mean this with all respect, but this food was some of the worst I've ever had eating out. I would…read moreeat the pizza again and it was nice to sit outside, but I would avoid everything else. Summary is below: Pros: - The atmosphere was quaint and it nice outside - Pizza was ok (on par to a bit worse than competing frozen pizzas) and a good portion - Wait staff was hustling and they deserve more help - Diet coke came from the can Cons: - Nothing was fresh and all of it was poor quality - Phone went straight to voicemail when I called to place a takeout order, so we needed up eating there - Service was understaffed (there were two waitress for the full restaurant and one chef) - Long wait to be seated even though there were ample open seats - Long wait for food/drink since there was one chef - Greek Salad: Edible and I didn't get sick after, but the lettuce was wilted and the ingredients were equivalent to bottom shelf of a grocery store - Pepperoni Pizza: Ingredients were awful, cheap pepperoni, cheap jarred sauce, cheap pre-shredded cheese - Marinara Pasta with Sausage: Store bought pasta and the same bad sauce that was on the pizza. The sausage was uninspiring as well. This was borderline inedible - Focaccia: again this was the cheapest store bought option - Price: very expensive for what was cheap, frozen (not fresh) food; any ok home cook would prepare a better meal with the same ingredients

    Given more days in Luqillo, I would return every day to try all their food…read more I started with the arepas de coco - very well fried, soft, doughy puffs complemented with a guava sauce. They were addictive, it was hard to not eat all of them. They would also be a good dessert - reminiscent of beignets, but with less oil and sugar. For main I had the churrasco skirt steak with rice of the day. It was a generous portion of steak topped with a delicious churrasco fragrant with garlic. The rice was well seasoned and perfectly cooked texture. Server was enthusiastic about the food and providing suggestions. Though I suspect everything on the menu is delicious. Guests at all the tables around me raved about their meals. Indoor seating is cozy and comfortable. There's a small bar with counter seating.

    The Paseo de la Pared might be the best cocktail I've ever had. The service was very friendly,…read morealthough there were several instances where 1 person of our group of 5 was left out when things were delivered to our table. The waitress (who was super cool) had to go and remind the bar to make my wife's drink. Then, she had to go and ask the kitchen why my entree hadn't come out when everyone else had been served 5 minutes prior. The food was good (especially the churrasco), but this was a very expensive meal. Like, "Holy hell is that correct?!"-when they bring you the check level expensive. We would go back for those drinks, but I would need to sell a couple of non-vital organs before we could afford to go back for a full meal.
