Reviews
When we arrived at the restaurant we sat at the bar. Our waitress Odrix was amazing. I told her I had a gluten allergy and she shared that she also had an allergy. She’s allergic to almonds so she knew exactly where I was coming from. She confirmed the same three items that Leo had told me I couldn’t have which was very reassuring.
She also gave me some great recommendations. She suggested the seafood salad which was amazing and the red snapper. This ended up being my best dining experience in Puerto Rico. I ate at several restaurants during my trip including at the resort where we stayed and they basically all said all we have is salad. This place truly stood out for its service understanding and flavorful gluten free options.
The service is just as impressive. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the chef even came out personally to check on the meal.
I honestly ate like a pig because I had to try everything. The spicy red snapper is to die for, and the lobster empanadas are so good they’ll make you want to slap your mama. Don’t forget to order the rice and beans as a side they’re the perfect complement to the meal.
This spot is a must. You won’t regret it.
I wish I’d taken better photos, but honestly, pictures don’t do this food justice. The owners, Leo and Alejandra, made the experience even better by sharing fantastic recommendations for their own dishes as well as other local gems to explore. They were incredibly generous and hospitable!
If you love seafood, you have to start with the Seafood Sampler as your appetizer (we also got the beef empanadas which were delicious!) We ordered piña coladas, mojitos, a passion fruit margarita and even tried their sangria. They make everything in house. Every drink was carefully crafted and perfectly balanced! We ordered the red snapper, jumbo shrimp with ceviche styled mofongo, the creole chicken, and the kan kan pork chop. We finished with their three orders of flan: coconut, vanilla, and queso. Absolutely nothing about this meal disappointed. This is a must-visit
Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. I ordered an alcoholic piña colada but was given a non-alcoholic version instead. We waited about 30 minutes for our food and weren’t even offered water. When it was time to pay, we had to go up to the counter ourselves after waiting quite a while at the table for the check.
