    Great local food

    This is a small, simple restaurant, not some fancy place, but the food is fantastic. The best churasco and tostones in PR. They also have valet parking which is big plus.

    My favorite restaurant in Puerto Rico!

    Great food, great service, Great atmosphere what more can you ask for. Felt more like eating in someone's home than a restaurant. and the staff was so friendly and accommodating that it will be my family's first stop when we go back to Puerto Rico.

    Best mofongo in San Juan

    Great food and really good sangria. A little on the pricey side compared to some of the nearby restaurants but well worth it.

    If you love mofongo, this is the place to visit.
