      Excellent!! A great place to have dinner with family or friends. It's also been there for over 150 yrs.
      We were going on a cruise so we spent a few extra days there, sorry they wouldn't let me fly my from a El Morro!

      Our Uber driver recommended this restaurant so we had to check it out. It wasn't cheap, but it had such a cute little atmosphere, the food was very good, and our waitresses name was Adriana and she was just lovely. She gave us the history of the building Time here. Highly recommend.
      And we highly recommend the shrimp paella

      Burger was raw and they did nothing about it. Drink came in a plastic glass and everyone else's came in glass. Asked for silverware twice.
      Lots of servers just hanging around ignoring us.

      "Arroz mejor de mi vida - The best rice I've ever had". Seriously. I asked the host while being seated what he thought the best food they served was and although he initially demurred and said "everything", he eventually shared that he thought the churrasco and the arroz con ~whatever your protein of choice is~ were the best. It was lunchtime so we opted to share Arroz con Pollo and Pan Tomaca.

      The Arroz con Pollo ~Chicken with Rice~ $23 was muy delicioso. It really is probably the best rice I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The chicken was very good but I'm not a dark meat chicken fan so I let my husband eat it all :).

      The Pan Tomaca was perfect bread grilled and topped with grated tomato and fresh herbs. It was so light and fresh, the perfect bite on a hot day.

      Our server, who was absolutely delightful, lit up with surprise and pleasure when he realized we spoke Spanish. I don't think speaking Spanish was the reason behind it but he brought us a lagniappe ~a gift from the bar~ of anise with a little cream and grated cocoa along with our Pina Coladas.

      The restaurants claim to fame is that it's been around since 1848. It's a beautiful place and we were seated in a pleasant table for two directly in front of the open air windows.

      We'd been headed down the street towards another restaurant (the kind that everything is $8.95 or $11.95) and we passed it after we ate. The charm of this restaurant was part of our good experience and we were glad they'd stopped us and invited us in.

      My four rather than 5 honestly came down to price. I'd really wanted something like the fresh catch of the day but $45 seemed a lot for that. That being said, they charged us well below the stated menu prices that we were expecting, so we tipped very well. Service was perfecto. Check them out.

      we ordered at around 5 in the evening and was told by the waiter that what we ordered they were out, we asked for 3 appetizers 2 PR one fried calamari. we were again told that only the calamari was available. so we went to this recomended place just to get Italian fried calamari. at one point I asked the waiter what PR food is available now. He said "if you want PR food go to another place. we paid 50 bucks for 3 beers served in a can and one Oder of calamari (12 pieces). I don't think they wanted main landers. Merda.

      The staff was beyond engaging and nice. The food was great, pimentos could of had a little bit more flavor. They were however perfectly cooked! The salad was flavorful despite its very simplistic appearance the sauce had a hint of dill which was very surprising for a Spanish restaurant. The gandules escabeche was very good and we also had the gambas Al ajillo as well as the tostones. The gambas were small for gambas more like regular camarao, delicious none the less. The tostones were cooked perfectly, they were plain though and I believe would be better with a dipping sauce of some sort. We resorted to dipping in the gambas sauce and the escabeche sauce. The place is very loud with hybrid live and dj music. The fans were spinning helping move the air around for such a humid evening. Would definitely come back to try some entrees!

      The ambiance is not as good as it could be..road construction right outside...booo. The drinks are delicious (I went with the margarita, my friends all went with pina coladas). We started with the manchego..great. Then we moved to calamari (4 out 5 said it was the best calamari they ever had). Then we had two types of mufungo, the special (shrimp and rice and tostones and beef), and carne pollo arroz. We also had an order of tostones by themselves and also the chorizo and local cheese (fried). I can't believe we have this much food sitting her...and I can't believe how wonderful it all is. Our waiter Julian is wonderful. I don't think I can say enough wonderful things about this place..brave the road construction-its worth it!
