First time visiting and so glad we did!! Food was just so delicious. Good portion, flavorful, great presentation. Some of the prices are on the high side, but overall are fair for the food quality. Thank you Hura for such a great service you were so sweet.

One of the best restaurants in San Juan hands down !! Located on the outskirts of the metropolitan area. Food was spectacular, service was above and beyond and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend eating here, cannot wait to come back and try other items on the menu.

Found this spot on TikTok and incredibly glad we went. This place delivered both on food quality and excellent service. Our server Jorge was so attentive and genuine about making sure everything was going well. I ordered the aguacate relleno de carne frita with the mamposteao and it was so good!! 10/10 recommend!

I had a great experience during my visit the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the food hit the spot but what really stood out was the service. Our server, Marielys, was excellent super attentive, on point with everything, and made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. You could tell she genuinely cared about giving us a great dining experience.

I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally got to try it. Know that you have to ring a bell to get in, but after that, is a pretty good experience. Service: Relative to the service I've been getting this trip to PR, it was refreshing to get caring, but most importantly, professional waiters. Food: I ordered the Aguacate con camarones en salsa de Coco and it was amazing. The trifongo was freshly made (everything is, big difference to many places on the island) My wife got the fettuccini pasta con churrasco and that is hands down the best steak I've had on the island. I can't emphasize that enough. Next time I go, i plan on sticking to the steak. They are known for their mamposteao , which is amazing..... But there steak!!!
