Love Metropol since my first visit to the island some 13 years ago, but during my last visit to Fajardo I stopped by for some comida criolla, the manager was extremely nice, I order chuleta can can and it was to die for, my husband order trifongo with masitas de puerco and it also was delicious, my sister order a...

Great Cuban restaurant... The menu is very large, so you can please everybody. My favorite is the EMPANADA REBOSADA and the black beans.. The plates are very big, so you can share most of them, Very Cuban. The service is very good, and you get a great value.

Staying at El Conquistodor, we always prefer to try local restaurants. Great food/Service. Reasonable priced. Good for kids. Worth the trip! The seafood Piaya was huge. Could have fed the entire family. Try this place! This is a chain type restaurant, but still very good!

A full Puerto Rican dining experience. Amazing service (thanks Jay!) who offered great suggestions for the first meal of our vacation. I have some dietary restrictions, and Jay was careful to help me choose items that would work - and then added a "safe" perfect side dish for my meal. They make a mean mojito and have a good rum...

We ate at Metropol in Fajardo the night we arrived. It's conveniently located near Walmart some drug stores for stocking up on vacation supplies. The wait staff was friendly, made excellent recommendations, and was great with our children. They have a kids' menu and also offer chicken strips (not on the menu), but my daughter loved the white rice with... More

We were fortunate to get a waiter who was bilingual. We told him we wanted to try some traditional yummy Cuban foods. He said he'd plan our meal and he did great! We started with garlic toast. It was warm with hint of garluc spread actoss top. Very tasty. As appetizers we had plantains - sliced and fried and fritters.... More

Metropol came highly recommended through tripadvisor. STAY FAR AWAY!! We left our server a 30% tip because he was obviously not responsible for the food or fellow patrons, should they garner that title. If looking for quality food this is not the place to go, this makes McDonalds look like 5 star dining.
