    The grilled chicken breast was so good!! Flavorful and juicy! I could have done without so much of the rice (and I come from rice eating ppl so that’s saying a lot) and more of the beans though. And i recommend the Ward 8 drink if you like rum.

    We really wanted to eat here, but were not able to because the restaurant did not have any reader menus. The one menu that the establishment had had been spilled on and was not legible. The rely on a QR code for their menu. Unfortunately my cell phone reception was bad in the restaurant and the restaurant did not offer wi-fi. Suffice to say, we ordered drinks and did not order food. Our waitress was very nice and even tried to verbally tell us what was on the menu, but we could not hear much of what she was saying due to the loud music that was playing. Our waitress was so embarrassed when she handed us the payment terminal she skipped the tip section before handing it to us. It want her fault so we left her a cash tip.

    How is this our fault that you did not had reception? We don’t offered wifi is not because we don’t want to , it because we are in old San Juan and we only get 20 mbs for the entire restaurant and if you know anything about internet speed you can agreed that this is not enough . But please next time when writing a review dont be that guy !!!

    It was a historic old building, probably a house at one time. The inside was bare and it was hard to tell it was a restaurant, but the staff was very nice and great food with a very limited menu.

    Great decor, nice setting. We stopped expecting service from our server eventually and just went with the flow since we were already there. Food was average

    The food was stellar and the chorizon is a must have paired with great drinks and a photo op on the Cuban art on the wall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
