Descubrimos el restaurante y nos encanta. Llegamos para una reservación a las 4:30 y encontramos un papel que decía abrimos a las 5. Esperamos en el carro hasta las 5. En la entrada nos preguntaron si teníamos reservación. Explicamos lo del papel y la joven indicó que estaban abierto desde el mediodía, nos sorprendió muchísimo la respuesta. Durante la cena el restaurante estaba completamente vacío, también nos extrañó mucho debido a lo hermoso y acogedor que es, además de buenos tragos y comida. En la página principal en la web no dejaba hacer reservación porque estaba cerrado. Nos aventuramos y en el camino en la plataforma de Google nos permitió la reservación, pero estaba cerrado a las 4:30. Me parece que deben mejorar el horario y la comunicación al respecto.

There was a lot of menu items that were unavailable and they got some of our orders wrong. Overall, the food was delicious.

The decor is stunning inside and out! As soon as you walk in, the smell of the food and the colorful “houses” on the wall makes you feel like you are in Old San Juan. We started with the La Neverita (which was served in a beach cooler!) and the

We order a shrimp in garlic sauce and the chicken breast stuffed with sausage and plantains. Both were good, the second dish was more interesting that the first but both were a bit bland. We saw other interesting dishes on other tables and would likely try some of those if we go back. We liked the idea of having a restaurant with Puerto Rican cuisine in the area.
