Everything was good that pork chop with shrimp was seasoned to perfection. Even the next day it was good.

This place recently re-opened in a new location not very far from its original spot. It is quite large now and they have upgraded their decor significantly. Upon entering you’re greeted by tall ceilings and a large open dining space. They also have a long bar with seating. Most weekends, it looks fairly busy. I came in on a Thursday with a friend for dinner. The hostess was sweet and asked if we had reservations, which we did not, but I will say for an early Thursday evening, we were fine. There were a couple of dinners seated, but overall there were plenty of tables open.
Our waiter informed us we were still in time to enjoy happy hour, so I asked for the white sangria and my friend had a beer. My sangria was painfully sweet. Truly, not something I would recommend. My friend ordered the churrasco main dish, which I believe came with two sides. I tried the steak and I really liked it. Very juicy and cooked to order medium perfectly, with a nice pink center. I ordered the shrimp off “la parrilla,” I asked if it came with sauce and he said he could bring me garlic sauce on the side, but the shrimp came in like a butter garlic sauce. So, I’m not sure if that is how the dish truly comes or if it was a modification because of my question. Regardless, I enjoyed the dish anyway, which I ordered with tostones, and were well made. All in all, I would come back here. This place makes a nice backdrop for a date night or for a large group celebrating an event.

The food is OK, but over priced. It didn't have much taste. It feels like a tourist trap.

As a Boricua all I can say is I was transported back home; the food, the environment and the service all above and beyond. It was my first time and I can tell you that it will not be the last. Came to celebrate my daughter’s 25th birthday and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

My favorite restaurant in Calle 8! Love the Mofongo vegetarian or shrimp and the service is always great! A lot of food for one person. Always come here with my visitors from Germany!

If you're looking for puerto rican food, this is where you want to go. Every dish we got was incredible. Seriously! The morfongo itself was the best i've ever had. It's not dry or overcooked at all. The service was very good, but the later it got in the evening it started to get busier, so the service started to dwindle. There is not a doubt in my mind that we will be back to this restaurant.

We went to eat at this restaurant because we were told the food was delicious, and we were really excited to eat there. When we arrived, we waited quite a while to be served. Then the waitress took us to a table, and it was dirty. She told us to wait while they cleaned it. We waited for about 10 minutes, and they never cleaned the table. I told the waitress we were leaving because they ignored us, and she didn't even care… I feel sorry for the owners who have such bad employees. We then went to eat at El Toro Loco, and we loved everything. The food, the service… excellent… nothing better than being made to feel welcome.

I paid full price for a meal I didn’t eat! Every bite I took had crushed up chicken bones in it which made me lose my appetite! Told the waiter take my food since I wasn’t gonna eat it and I only took 3 bites out of it which costed me $30 dollars since he didn’t take it out the bill!!!
Won’t come here again!!!!!!

Beautiful two level restaurant that converts to a dance club several nights a week from 11 PM till around 3 AM.
Our table ordered numerous items off the menu and all were superb, including the classic Mofongo Carne Frita, Pechuga a la Parrilla, Carne Frita Encebollada, Sorullo de Maiz, Alcapurias, Tostones, Maduros, Arroz con Gandules, many Pina Coladas and Flan, of course.
Our server brought out coquito shots to top it all off. Heaven!
Don’t miss out on this spot. It’s pure Puerto Rican home cooking, with great Puerto Rican tunes playing throughput the meal and a giant screen showing pictures of the island to enjoy.
