While visiting some very good friends in PR, they suggested we go and try this place in Guayanilla…read more Once we started working the reservation we were surprised (i.e., annoyed) with all the restrictions... they only open Saturdays 11am to 6pm, with the last reservation being for 4:30pm... you only have 90 mins to enjoy your meal... if you are late, or if your party is incomple, you are not allowed in... if you are early you have to stay in your car until they come a get you... you also have to order your food a few days ahead. Still, since we heard it was really good, we decided to jump thru all the hoops. Boy am I glad we did!! I had the ribs (full rack) and it was ridiculously good, delicious! Others in my party had brisket, and steak, and they were all also impressed! As appetizer we had the empanadillitas de carne (12 count), which is always deliscious, but ussually done with ground beef... well, not at La Manada, the filled them with braised beef!! They also had a guava BBQ sauce!! Wow!! The place is rustic, an open air (no A/C, ussually a deal breaker for me) barn-like venue, very spacious (tables laid out at least 5-8 feet away from each other), but somehow it all feels homey, maybe even intimate. Their staff was very attentive and friendly. And then there is their chef, Chef Jose Lucca, very nice and charismatic; he stopped by to make sure we were happy with everything, talk about his vision, and even joked about "their rules". He also took pictures with us! Bottom line: La Manada Ribs V8 is an excellent restaurant; an absolute must if you are in the south-west of PR.

I had no expectations and came with an open mind. This place opens only on Saturdays and I was…read morelucky to get a reservation so close to the Holidays, as most times there is no availability in months. They also offer carry-out but orders by phone. They have a great system in place to be able to tend to the customers. They reached out to me two days prior so I could reserve the meats I wanted to make sure I could get what I wanted given the high demand and large parties coming in and out. When you get there, their parking/security staff assist you while waiting and you get to come in once your table is ready. The service is fast and efficient. Staff is very attentive and the Chef is around greeting the customers. Very family oriented vibe and ambiance, while you can also still get a cold beer or a cocktail of your choice while enjoying the Puertorrican mountain/country scenery. Now let's talk about the food. I love my Puertorrican seasoning but I am also used to BBQ in the US. I was a little hesitant but I have to say I was impressed. The smoky flavors in the meats were everything! Everything was so tender and perfectly cooked. Tried their Manada tray in which you get a taste of all their meats: Riblets, pulled pork, brisket, pork loin and even half quail. This comes with three sides of your choice and should be enough for 3-5 people. My party ordered the Manada rice which is our typical Puertorrican rice with pigeon peas with bits of smoked meat. This was my favorite side. Also ordered sweet potato waffle fries and delicious tostones de pana/mapen which were a seasonal item. Ordered to go a full rack of ribs and came with a side. These were so perfectly cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender. My favorite from the Manada tray was the brisket. My party loved the riblets. It was their first time having BBQ and definitely not the last time!

Carbón y Leña is a Puerto Rican restaurant located on the westbound side of the #2 main road in…read moreQuebradillas, Puerto Rico. The food is delicious & served in large portions. Most of the plates are enough to feed two people. We had a Chorizo Sausages in Wine Sauce appetizer with Fried Plantains, Breaded Chicken Fillets with Salad & Churrasco Steak with a tasty Chimichurri Sauce. All were delicious. There were various birthdays being celebrated to the festive sounds of staff playing traditional instruments. The staff were super attentive & accommodating. The restaurant was large, bright, colorful & festive in its decor. There's also outdoor dining in the front & back of the restaurant. A great place to go especially for families & large groups.

In fact, as bad tasting as it is, I would say they buy the precooked bags of chicken strips from Costco and they heat it up with the rest of the ingredients. I had the chicken nachos and churrasco with chimichurri sauce. The best part of the nachos were the tortilla chips. Undoubtedly, those were scooped right out of the bag. I'm ok with that. The pico de gallo was tomato chunks without flavor. The churrasco was cooked on site (probably) but pan cooked, possibly a griddle. Not grilled. Their saving grace was actually having some cholula hot sauce. That made the meal "edible" The service, I must say, was pretty descent. You can't blame the servers for the terrible food. The environment is a bit of a plain Jane, wood paneling look withe a few Boriqua decorations. Certainly proud people. I would like to say that this is possibly a place for locals, but I wouldn't want to insult the locals

We got in line at about 11am, and were eating shortly thereafter. We got the lunch special, both getting a half bird. We sat at a covered picnic table and chowed down! The chicken was delicious; nicely seasoned, charred a bit on the grill, and juicy. It was great! Sides were just so-so. I got the rice with pigeon peas which didn't taste like much, and the plantain salad, which I was previously unfamiliar with and interested in trying. It was pretty unripe plantains with onions and cilantro. Just OK. This was the place to be on Easter Sunday! The line got way longer after we arrived and they probably had 200 chickens cooking! A good spot and definitely worth a stop

Today I tried this particular restaurant. It can tricky to find but thank goodness we found it. It's a small place with several tables for dining in. The best time to get to the restaurant is around lunch time. There is plenty of staff available to quickly serve the customers. There is an easy menu of combo plates displayed on a big flat screen tv. I must say everything looked delicious. We had the chicken and white rice and red beans to take out yumm.. I recommend this business if you are in Aguadilla around Crash Boat beach stop in and get some good Spanish style food.

The servers there may not speak English, so be mindful. You can use google translate or practice up your Spanish skills. We ordered 1 whole grilled chicken, got the malanga (taro), potatoes and steamed veggies as the sides, then got the macaroni salad and a soda. The malanga (taro) was boiled and came with onions on top. They also gave us a double portion. The whole chicken was big, with the skin having some nice seasoning on it. The chicken was very juicy and moist. The macaroni salad is a classic mac salad, nothing special. The potatoes they had were not that memorable, it had some seasonings in it and was filling. The steamed veggies were overcooked, but we arrived right before they closed so they were trying to sell everything they had.
