El Bajareque is a casual Puerto Rican spot that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a comfort spot for many locals. The restaurant serves a variety of traditional dishes, including Alcapurias, Pigeon Peas And Rice/Arroz Con Gandules with Pork Chunks, Mofongo With Pork Chunks, and grill chicken with yellow rice and beans. The menu also features hearty dinner plates, breakfast, and lunch specials, all connected by soulful Caribbean flavors. Meals are made to order, so guests should be prepared for a short wait, which is understandable when the dining room is full of happy, hungry guests. The restaurant also offers steak sandwiches and coffee, including a refreshing frozen lemonade and a colada. Daily specials are available, and prices are reasonable. The staff quickly recognizes regular guests and their orders, providing personalized service. Customers often praise the delicious, fresh food, mentioning dishes like alcapurrias, bacalaito, and mofongo con carne frita, which are worth the wait. The warm bread with butter and garlic dip complement the meals well. Many consider El Bajareque the best Puerto Rican food spot in Miami and appreciate that the quality has improved over the years, with some noting that the restaurant has expanded its seating. While the food receives high praise, some reviews mention that service can be slow and that staff could be more friendly and courteous to all customers. Overall, the restaurant provides good food, hearty portions, and a genuine Puerto Rican experience in the heart of little San Juan.
