    My spouse, our 2 adult "children" and I very much enjoyed our dinner at Vejigante last night. The food was outstanding, the portions were very large, and the prices were quite reasonable, given the high quality of the food and the generous portions. The service was also very good. Our main waitperson was very helpful in explaining the items and suggesting which ones she thought we'd like the most. Her suggestions were excellent.

    Food was divine. Authentic and the staff was very professional. Drinks were great not too expensive. We were seated too close to a couple though and it was distracting.

    If you enjoy Puertorican food and culture, this place really can’t be beat. The restaurant has lovely decorative touches of Puerto Rico and its namesake the Vejigante all thought the restaurant. The servant was very attentive and super helpful with the menu. She spoke Spanish and English to those of us that didn’t speak Spanish at all. The food and drinks were divine! There were plenty of authentic dishes, but certainly there were some that had some new elements and flair to them. The drinks were absolutely delicious! If you’re looking for tropical flavors from the island don’t hesitate and try it.

    Mofongo texture was a bit weird and pale, flavors weren’t good or really present. Fish tasted frozen. Bacalaitos were thin and odd tasting. Food wasn’t really worth it, a bit overpriced in general. Vibes were nice though in the decor. Lowkey disappointed, was expecting better.

    We won’t visit this place again and do not recommend it. The food was not what we expected as a born and raised in Puerto Rico. They imposed the 18% tip and DID NOT advise prior to searing us and also it is not in the menu. The service and food was not even average. We did try different options from the menu none of then “authentic.” What they called “alcupurrias” weren’t. The “mamposteao” was terrible. They need to improve tremendously their food presentation and attention to details. Overpriced items. They must hire an experienced executive chef that has vast experience and is competent in our cuisine. Wishing you the best.

    The ambience is very familiar and the food is so tasty. I love the tostones and the sorullitos. The shrimp mofongo with garlic sauce is the best
