We try to eat here every time we are in Puerto Rico because we love it. The food is so great, the octopus, the chicharrones, lamb chops, house rice, tostones, and more. Great mock and cocktails, so delicious. They are so attentive and nice. We love the location in terms of decoration, tropical, like going to someone’s backyard.
