   This is elevated Puerto Rican cuisine at it’s BEST. The chef truly understands how to meld and transform common ingredients/flavors to serve exquisite and unique Puerto Rican dishes. It is my new favorite place and I consider myself selective. It could easily be Michelin-starred (it may not be as they consider ambiance and economic class too much, and this place is loud and homey, embodying and representative of PR culture). I, Rico, give it a whole plate set. 🍽️

   Such an incredible restaurant with a unique story!! Everyone working there was incredibly kind. Service was amazing and food was even better. We wanted to try the entire menu!! We ended up asking our waitress for recommendations and everything we ordered was to die for. Best meal we have had in years!

   Everything about our experience was sublime! The ambience set the mood for a special occasion, and every dish and cocktail was perfectly seasoned and balanced, there’s nothing on the list I wouldn’t recommend! Ana was our server and was so helpful and made our evening even more memorable. Would absolutely come back!

   The best meal we’ve had in San Juan. The food looks humble but is packed with flavors. You will not be disappointed.

   Wonderful experience. Service was top notch and all the food was excellent. Cocktails, empanadas, ceviche, sea bass and lamb stew were among the items we tasted. Would definitely go back. Grab your reservation now!

   Made a point of coming here on a recent one night stay over in San Juan. Food was delicious and so comforting, only made better by the really hospitable team. They were very knowledgeable and attentive while being warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend for anyone who appreciates really chef driven and appreciation for honoring great traditions in cooking.

   An outstanding culinary experience in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Using local ingredients and flavours in a unique and high quality way with both the cocktails and the food. And the friendly and timely service made it a most enjoyable experience.

   Fantastic experience from beginning to end! We were about 45 min late to our reservation due to issues getting Ubers, and the restaurant was so understanding. We waited just about 10 min and then were seated in the stunning back patio. Our waitress was lovely and made some great recommendations. We loved the ceviche, the corn arepas were very good as well, and the pork shoulder was delicious, though we both said if there was less meat and a vegetable or some other side that would've been nice as well. Highly, highly recommend!

    Amazing! Our server Priscilla was lovely and knowledgeable. We had the ceviche dorado and swordfish casserole & they were both delicious! Recommend sitting outside for a cool vibe!
