    El churrasco un pedazo fino y duro. Para anunciar que las carnes son parte de su fuerte. El servicio del mesero 20 de 10. Pero tienen que trabajer los cortes de la carne.

    My family enjoyed a delicious dinner on Easter Sunday. Super attentive wait staff was on point all night and very friendly. Our meals were fantastic from my daughter’s lobster ravioli to my Frutti De Mari and my husband’s Filet Mignon, both with freshly made pasta, it was all amazing. A table of locals told us we definitely came to the right spot instead of going to the “touristy” places nearby. Would certainly patronize again!

    What a lovely experience at Magdalena! We were treated with kindness and care. Ciro and Carla were so wonderful, the food was outstanding. Vegan pasta dish, lamb rack with a take on polenta that was insanely delicious, and a grass-fed steak that did not disappoint. We’ll be back the next time we’re in PR.

    Salimos de aquí con una experiencia exquisita. El trato y la comida estuvieron excelentes. Tienen un salón a parte, que si no quieren mucho ruido, pueden pedirlo o reservarlo de ante mano.

    Excelente servicio. Nos atendió Dimas con mucho profesionalismo y diligencia. El Smoked Old Fashioned estuvo 10/10. Los aperitivos eran buenísimos. El New York Steak y el Salmón son de excelente calidad.

    I hate writing bad reviews bc I root for everyone to succeed, but given the prices at Magdelena Cocina, and the low quality of the food, it needed to be done. The steak cuts were low quality— I’ve never had a NY strip or a ribeye so hard to chew (or even cut). The raviolis were 5 min of cooking short of al dente, still basically completely uncooked on the edges. The crab cakes were an abomination. DO NOT order them. The service was very good and the staff very attentive and polite, I’m rooting for them to get a job at a restaurant with better food. For $300 I expect much better.
