    We went there to celebrate my son's HS graduation. He loves pernil and his dish didn't disappoint. We were a party of 5, three of which did the pernil platter with different rices and plantains. All three loved their dish. I did the mofongo with pernil and it was delicious. The service a bit slow but I'd experience the same in PR so I'll leave it at that. The food is delicious, platters big and decently priced. Would definitely go again. Thanks for making my son so happy. He loved it.

    Came in between dinner and lunch and unfortunately, many menu items were not available. For some reason I was brought a plastic cup of water while everyone else in the restaurant(and my table) had a glass. The pernil w/ chicharrones was excellent, but as is often the case, maduros were in between rather than fully sweet. Service was great. I would return.

    Food was great. They were short staffed but it made for longer than typical wait between order and courses and wait to get the check but my friend and I were catching up. If waitress came around more I would’ve drank more alas she saved me some calories and hangover.

    Every year we remember my mom by having an authentic Puerto Rican dinner. I always try new places and this year found the gem that is Counter & Bodega. The service and food were excellent, the waitress suggested my fiancé have the mofongo with skirt steak, which was delicious. I had the Pernil with rice and beans, also delicious. The ambiance was fantastic as they had salsa playing, but not so loud we couldn't have a conversation. Overall a great experience with great food and friendly service. I will definitely be going back soon.

    The food was delicious!!! Our server was fantastic! The drinks were amazing and we had a great time. We ordered a few dishes and shared amongst our group. The empanadas were delectable and the Mofongo was very tasty. The enchiladas were good, but we decided it would have been better as chicken and not steak. Everything was eaten all up and demolished…job done! We enjoyed all of our food!

    I wanted to really enjoy this place however was not very impressed. Our seating area had a stent of like a wet rag. Bathroom was not tidy. Food was ok… the best part was the Alcapurias.. rice was a little on the hard side. Drinks were nice and the waiters were pleasant. Don’t think I will be returning.
