Let me tell you about one of my favourite places as of yesterday. This place was so good I went twice. The Mofongitos are a must. The creamy garlic sauce was phenomenal. The staff are amazing and friendly definitely a personal touch with having a great experience. The Carnivore Platter was simply amazing I normally can either plate and a half and this was the first time I was stubbed. If I could go back to this restaurant for a third time tomorrow so be it. Definitely everything was delicious. There's nothing I could really say. It's just worth the experience of going yourself. Definitely 5 out of 5 Stars. Next time I fly back in. I'm going to come here just for this.

A short, beautiful walk from our cruise ship and so worth it! My son and I tried Mofongo for the first time. It was life changing! The drinks were amazing! There was a gentleman playing the sax. The service was top notch! I could not have been happier with a meal in P.R.! Highly recommend!

This place was phenomenal. The food was amazing, the margarita wasn’t too sweet or had too much alcohol. It was made to perfection. The food, wow! The steak, beans and white rice was so so good, I felt like I had a home cooked meal. The staff was so so sweet, let my sister and I stay even when they closed over 40 mins ago. I highly recommend, very chill, but THE BEST food and drinks!

Thanks for one of the best meals I’ve had ever. Also the wait staff was awesome! Thank you Suzette for great service and a little local knowledge! Thanks to you Isa for being so helpful when we asked about a taxi/ Uber. Don’t miss this place. The food is spectacular.

Food and drinks were fantastic. Service was a little slow, but I guess that's just the laid-back island way. Right down the street from the I Love PR sign. Beautiful area.

Best restaurant in old san juan by far. The mofongo is TOP TIER. I visited 2 days in a row and loved every second of it. Everyone is so friendly and the bartenders definitely know what they're doing

We stumbled upon this restaurant by mistake as the original restaurant we wanted to check out was closed. This place was a pleasant surprise. The service, food and drinks were amazing. I ordered the passion fruit sangria and my partner had the coconut mojito. We ended up swapping drinks but we enjoyed both. I had the ribeye with mushroom risotto and it was divine. The presentation was that of a 5 star steakhouse. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the risotto was so delicious we couldn’t stop eating it. My partner got the triple mofongo and it was scrumptious and well seasoned. The portions were large so we ended up taking food home. We will definitely be back to try other dishes and we would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quality meal in Puerto Rico.
