TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! It was our first time trying this place and we trusted the reviews but never going back. Ordering the food was easy but when trying to split in separate orders, they completely screwed everything up. We waited for an hour for the food. And when everything was ready, our food was just sitting on the counter for at least 5 minutes before we had to tell someone that it was our food. When checking everything, they put all the food together and we had to go through each box to see if it matched with each person’s order. They forgot to add at least 4 things and we had to wait another 15 minutes. They were not understanding at all. Only offered a cup of soda for the inconvenience. No managers were there either. What a waste of time. There are many other GOOD food places in San Juan and this is not it. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Money and time wasted. Food wasn’t good either. From all of that time waiting, it was cold and soggy.

Great ambiance, really nice idea but not a great execution.
Our friend recommended this place to us, and we looked at the reviews and the pictures we got so excited but not sure how it got the 4.6 stars rating.
The waiter was nice and attentive but between him and the “chef” they messed our order.
The arepas were extremely underwhelming! We ordered pollo, pernil, pulpo and Tripleta “Arepas”.
First, it has nothing to do with arepas, it’s simply fried dough bread and not the whole pouch is full with meat, 3rd of the arepas at the bottom was empty especially the pulpo.
The pulpo was disappointing, no color, flavor and bad portion.. The pernil was super dry, it should be dipped in the broth in my opinion to keep it moist instead of aioli.
I wouldn’t go there again but maybe I didn’t order the right choices.

I was walking past this place and the dining area looked inviting, so I decided to have lunch. I had the combo with 2 chicken arepas and a soft drink. It was tasty and a good price. The server and manager were extremely friendly. Thank you!!

Good prices, good food. Came before closing, about 6 min walk from our Airbnb! Small portions but that just means trying more things from the menu!
We got tostones, yuca fries and a bunch of arepas. 2 filled me up.

I ate here three times in the 10 days I was in Puerto Rico, mostly to try all the flavours! Each one was really good in its own way, but my favourite was the ceviche! The service was also very amicable and made us feel welcome! A must-visit for San Juan! Also very affordable and the drinks were tasty! I only wish it was open later!
