Excellent food and good beverages with reasonable prices in a relaxed atmosphere, but super slow service.
Food here was great. We had multiple appetizers - the fried chicken and pork chunks were to die for. Mofongos and the rest of the food was good as well.
Service was unfortunately super slow, even by island standards. We spent 2.5 hours here for dinner, when it should have taken 1/2 the time. We had to resort to going to the bar to get things like missing silverware, napkins, etc.

If you’re looking for a local restaurant with high quality food, this is the place to go! The seafood rice was delicious!

Don’t let the outside fool you. The food was incredible. We had great drinks and good service as well. We started with a plate of variety mini empanadas; and the guava one was ridiculously tasty. For entrees we had the churrasco de cerdo and churrasco carne were both delectable. Cooked perfectly and perfectly seasoned. The rice amaposteao was next level delicious. So many flavors and tastes. This meal was everything.

I got the seafood with native sauce and yellow rice. Great combo 👍

Came here by chance. The rest is located in a quiet corner of Santurce under a huge tree that co tributes to the nice ambience of the place. One plus was that there was plenty of parking in an otherwise very difficult area to park. Upon arriving, we sat ourselves as the staff was not paying attention to us. No biggie. The first waitress that came to take care of us was a bit rude. However, all others were OK. We were t for some appetizers of carne frita and chícharos de pollo with a side of arroz mamposteao. The rice was good. The meat was super salty, though, to the point I had my feet super swollen. Drinks were OK and with the nice ambience, it made for a nice time. They had a small cava in the back. The person taking care of that was super rude and dismissive. Too bad for them as I enjoy a good wine too. Overall, will give it a try but for me it will be a good spot for beers/drinks and some picadora, but not sure I will go for the food again.
