From the moment we walked in, this place set the tone for an amazing experience. The hosts at…read moreEkelekua were incredibly warm and welcoming--it felt like we were being greeted by friends rather than just seated for a meal. Then came Sebastian, our server, who truly elevated everything. Attentive, friendly, and just the right amount of niceness--he made us feel taken care of without ever being overbearing. And the food? Absolutely fantastic. Every bite delivered, but the real standout--the showstopper--was the banana walnut pancakes. Honestly... to die for. Fluffy, flavorful, and unforgettable. Great service, amazing food, and a vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer--this is definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

Highly recommended.

The bartender became our waiter, as the actual waiter was lost. My rating would be lower if it wasn't thanks to the bartender. Place tries to be low key cool, but it's just plain and empty.

Popped in last night for happy hour and stayed for a couple hours and enjoyed the sangria and the most delicious caramel iced coffee (shout on to Jean!) Came back the following day for some breakfast which was fantastic. On deck we had: Chicken and waffles for three, croquette monsieur and the french toast. Lots of mimosas and more delicious delish coffee. A standout was also the ginger lemonade was top tier! Our waitress Tamara was a gem! So sweet and with it being only her second day, the service she provided was excellent.

We stopped in at Don Pepe for dinner because they were super close to where our Airbnb was, and…read morebecause they are a small local restaurant, so we wanted to see what they had to offer as far as Puerto Rican food! As soon as we arrived, we saw that they had a very large variety of different wines, which was cool, and a pretty nice menu offering all different types of Caribbean food! We went with our favorites, which were empanadas, rice and beans and mofongo! Service was great, and everyone was really friendly! Highly recommend!

Bocata truly delivers when it comes to great drinks, great food, and great service -- what more…read morecould you ask for? Everything was excellent from start to finish. Henry, our server, was super respectful, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had a great experience. His professionalism and positive attitude really stood out. Even the owners take the time to personally check on you at your table, which makes the experience feel welcoming and special. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 5 is the $4 charge for tap water service and $5 for a side of bread -- that felt a bit excessive. Otherwise, the experience was fantastic. Highly recommended if you're in Humacao!

This is my first time trying Bocato. They are a deli, tapas and sandwiches but sooo much more…read more We decided to sit outside why not? It's Puerto Rico and the weather is perfect! The duck looked amazing with raspberry sauce. But I was in a pasta pesto with chicken mood. They give you so much! It was hard to finish. But I made a clean plate. I highly recommend trying Bocata. A must place to be. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Valery for being our server. You did a fantastic job.

Llegamos 10 minutos antes que abrieran y enseguida pusimos la orden de almuerzo. Aperitivo fueron unos mini bacalaitos que estaban sabrosos. Luego mi plato fue arroz blanco, habichuelas y carne vieja. Mi esposa masitas de pescado frito. La experiencia fue buena y el servicio también. El local no es muy grande y en el almuerzo del sábado se llenó. Recomiendo el lugar , solo deben mejorar el menú donde los precios han cambiado y los han puesto a mano.

Best to visit before the sun goes down, if you're not from the area. When we visited, there was only one person cooking the food (from what I could see,) but surprisingly, everything came out in a somewhat timely manner. And everything we tried was DELICIOUS. For apps, we tried the Fried Calamari and Fried Cheese with a Guava Sauce, which was sooo good. But the real highlight of my meal was my Shrimp Mofongo with Creamy White Garlic Sauce. It was packed with chicharron, and perfectly seasoned. I think it is one of the best I ever tried since Punto Del Vista in OSJ closed. If you're brave and want to venture off the beaten path, it's worth giving this place a try.

First time coming and I can't wait to go back. We tried the Moscow Mule and La Coqueta. The Moscow…read moreMule was good but I was very impressed by La Coqueta. I thought it was going to have a strong whiskey taste, but it wasn't the case and I enjoyed that. The pama and whiskey mixture was very smooth. Then we ordered 3 lobsters, paella and the ribs. We ordered sides of tostones de platano, tostones de pana, arroz moro and mofongo. The sides were amazing. The mofongo was not dry and had a nice garlic taste. The platanos tasted fresh and the rices were delicious. The lobster was well prepared and good priced. The server was great. He was very light, made jokes throughout the night and was very attentive. This is a lively, very cool place in the area of canovanas.

My boyfriend and I loved our dinner at Pasion por el Fogon. Both entrees we got were so delicious…read more We got the jumbo shrimp mofongo which was garlicky and creamy. The shrimps were huge and well cooked. I prefer a smooth consistency to mofongo and this was on the chunkier side but the flavor absolutely made up for it. The portion was huge and we had leftovers of this. The seafood cazuela was even better than the mofongo. The sauce was amazing - similar to a tomato rosé. I wish there were more scallops in this dish, it was mostly mussels and shrimp. However still super good and I'd definitely recommend this.
