Francis UdlerOctober 15, 2014One of best meals in PR. Want to eat this everyday! Arroz con pollo was yummy. Canoa was incredible- sweet plantain stuffed with ropa vieja and topped with melted cheese.
Don NorbeckMarch 19, 2016Wow. Arroz con pollo best in the world. Picadillo ground beef to die for even the beans and rice amazing. Finish with some vanilla flan. Pedro is a great sever
GregWasThereOctober 3, 2014Great place ! Followed all the 4sq recommendations and wasn't disappointed at all : Frozen piña colada, frijoles risotto con carne and ropa vieja (mofongo)... Absolutely great !
Angela EugeniaMay 24, 2013Get the ropa vieja!! If you're worried they will give you a sample. Best mofongo I've had. So amazing! My sister had the sea bass which was also excellent. Best food of the trip!!
- Tiara LittletonDecember 7, 2015The Relleno de ropa vieja was absolutely delicious! Also the arroz con pollo was the best I've ever had. The rice is seasoned to perfection! Definitely going back:)
- Betty GonzalezNovember 9, 2018Fine Cuban and Puertorrican cuisine in an open area restaurant. Perfect for business and family lunch an dinner. Try Piña Colada.

Andrew NormanDecember 18, 2016The spinach stuffed pork is amazing. Also recommend the Ropa de Viejo based dishes especially the one that is played on plantains. The chocolate creme brule
Robbie LoveJanuary 8, 20134/5- $$; delicious food, large servings, speedy service, friendly staff. Ask for recommendations, the specialties melt in your mouth; goat stew is fo sho worth a try! Restrooms like a gas station
Keith E.August 28, 2014Very good food. Tried the house platter which had a taste 4 very tasty dishes. Also had the risotto with chick peas, chorizo & saffron...delicious! !
Leila SamiiSeptember 20, 2015The mufango here was good. It's in a garlic butter sauce and is pretty rich. If you're into butter check it out. If not, get the fish.
Sonia 💋August 14, 2014Best ropa veija. Second time to PR and it was my second time at this restaurant. Must go!
Richard RevillaFebruary 1, 2015They have free valet parking. Just like it's name. Have the Ropa Vieja a La Cubano.
Denise D.July 20, 2022This is our new favorite restaurant. We loved the quesadilla with Ropa vieja, Goat con arroz, y tres leche cake
Jason SchaefferApril 18, 2014Had the shrimp risotto. Must say it was awesome. Made perfectly. Everything the family had was excellent. Last night back to NY NY tomorrow.
BriAnne HebertOctober 20, 2013The mufungo with skirt steak was great. Also had the risotto with medallions which was awesome and both were very large portions.
Kitty BSeptember 10, 2013Tostones rellenos de salmorejo (crab stuffed tostones) is very good and flavorful
Joanna KennedyJune 12, 2014Tried the Black Bean risotto and the chicken quesadillas. Both really good, and big portions for appetizers.
ArturoOctober 22, 2012For dessert, I've been on a hunt for the best Tres Leches in SJ, & this place serves the least exciting version of this dessert. A small, boring white cube in the middle of a white plate. Tastes ok.
Ashley MennilloNovember 27, 2012No joke, Louis, our waiter, was the cosy attentive and helpful waiter I've ever had and the food was amazing. Highly recommend
Brenda AndrewsDecember 28, 2015The shrimp mofongo was the best; also the guava creme brulee. Definitely would come here again.
Kate McCormleyOctober 24, 2016The guava creme brûlée was one of the best things I've ever had in my life.
Stefanie NicholasAugust 13, 2015Not for vegetarians. Ask first, the frijoles have meat ... only dishes that are veggie-lifestyle friendly are: the toro fritters, salad, and plain risotto balls ... nice, but pass on this
Angélica AyalaSeptember 9, 2014Black beans Risotto with pieces of meat! Goat cheese salad... Plates can be shared! :)
Rahim HashimSeptember 12, 2016Everything, but especially the arroz con pollo and black bean risotto. I'm hungry just thinking about it again
Jenifer HaliliApril 8, 2015Good service and great food! Will definitely come back on my next visit to PR.
Jen MendesMarch 14, 2015The best food!! Try the black bean risotto - you will want to lick the bowl!
Great Ropa Vieja - main dish honors the name of the place
Denise M.July 8, 2016The food is amazing and the staff was very warm and friendly. Highly recommend.
Roxanna FloresMay 28, 2021The ceviche and seafood rice was delicious. The ambiance and service were great.- MoniquesAugust 28, 2013Bolitas de Risotto is a must! Also, Mofongo Relleno de Ropa Vieja is delish!!!
Nancy TuckerMay 28, 2013The monfongo with shrimp is AMAZING!! Definitely a place to revisit when in PR again!
Jason LiuAugust 7, 2012Arroz con pollo is a must get. The yellow rice it comes with is so rich in flavor.
Dave KornreichJune 2, 2016Very touristy and service was weird. They pushed hard for us to order a specific wine, and when we asked for a moment to decide what to order, the waiter hovered. Paella was good though.
Ryan BujekerJune 27, 2011Garlic mushrooms and chickpea arroz are great as starters. Enjoy the goat or sea bass for your entree.
Cely Carmo GiraldesApril 8, 2011Try a frozen pina colada and the Salmon con salsa de alcaparras y tamarindo. Exotic taste and delicious.
SaaraJuly 16, 2012The black bean risotto is good but verrrry rich. HUGE portion enough for 2-3 people!
Jason RobertsNovember 13, 2011Unbelievably good Cuban Puerto Rican food! You must try the guava Creme brule!
Julia ParkMarch 30, 2014Service is pretty bad, but the food is good. Black bean risotto ftw. Huge portions too!
