First time here, no disappointment. Octopus salad excellent, beef stew and pork chunks with mofongo delicious. Our server Carmen very kind and right on point. No 5 stars because the in and out of customers was kind a chaos. Ambience like old San Juan. Recommended.

Wow. Truly felt/taste of authentic foods. In Orlando so it was quite a drive for us but r3ally enjoyed this outing. Friendly staff, clean neat area

Very good mojitos. Well made and delicious. Very unfriendly waiter. I gave a kiss to my girlfriend, and she interrupted us, chastised us. Good, quality drinks and very friendly bartender. Very mean, and unfriendly waiter. Recommend, but be cautious with the waiter.

Wonderful Atmosphere. Brings you to the center of beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico. Server and Staff were the sweetest and very attentive. Phenomenal Food. Absolutely Delicious. Must Try at least once. Expensive but worth the taste.

The place is clean, though a little crowded, tables are very close one to another one, the food and alcohol beverages VERY EXPENSIVE, but let me tell you that the food price is worthy. If you enjoy eating a tasty, delicious Latin food YOU NEED TO STOP BY. If anyone on the table is celebrating their bday, the employees come to the table and sing to you. Overall is a real nice place to eat. Be patient because food can take up to 45 minutes to be serve at your table.

We visit Florida every year except the past two years and this is a place we usually stop and eat at. The food used to be amazing however now it's just average the service was good and so was the music. I loved my seafood soup but I didn't like the shrimp empanadas their MOJO sauce isn't the MOJO sauce we're used to with lime and garlic they make it with olive oil and capers ?. I guess they have new cooks??‍♀️

Service was great Food ok maybe it was refried? Pork was over cooked.Drinks and food alittle pricey. Ambiance great!

Great Service and the food was delicious. Authentic puertorrican food! Staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent all of it: service, enviroment, friendly staff and food exquisite.

Came across a few videos online of this restaurant and knew instantly we had to try for ourselves. At first we were a little nervous because when we pulled up there was a massive crowd outside of the door and we were worried that we would not be able to get in or that the wait time was going to be ridiculous. We put our names on the list and the hostess said it would be about 35 minutes, however we ended up waiting about 45 minutes instead before we were called.As soon as you walk past the hostess there is a small room to the right with a lot of Puerto Rican knickknacks that I believe you can purchase however I'm not 100% sure as I didn't actually step into that room. There was live music playing which was a surprise because I didn't know they had live music and let me just tell you it was amazing! It's a pretty decent size restaurant and I say that because as you are waiting outside you can't really tell when you look in through the doors but they have a nice little bar area and plenty of seating.The decor was beautiful, it reminds you of being in Viejo San Juan walking down the cobblestone streets.As far as the staff goes, everyone there was extremely professional and very friendly. Our waiter specifically, was so nice and so welcoming. I think what I liked most about our waiter was how honest he was when we asked for recommendations on food or drink and he even took it upon himself to let us know that because they were so busy the kitchen was a little backed up and so it would take a little bit longer than usual to receive our food. I thought that was a smart thing for him to inform us of this way we didn't have the general expectation of assuming our food would come out pretty quickly etc.The food was definitely a 10 out of 10. The portions are so big that we honestly left there with leftovers and feeling like our stomachs were going to explode. We regret nothing though. If you love Spanish/Caribbean cuisine and are looking for a nice place to have dinner and simply have a good time, this place is a must. The vibes were so genuine, I mean the entire restaurant was singing along with the live music. The singer was so inclusive and everyone was really just really enjoying themselves and having a good time. It was literally as if you were in Puerto Rico in San Juan with the locals and tourists enjoying life together.The one thing I do have to critique is the pricing. Putting aside everything else I personally think it's a bit overpriced but I would still definitely go there again.
