Excellent menu, fusion of different flavors makes this an excellent food experience as a perfect alternative to other local food restaurants. Warm and friendly service. Chef joined us and tried his best to please the group and he did. Different cocktails and wines available.

Went to this restaurant with high expectations about their food! The mojito had no taste. The cocido madrileño (soup / Madrid) was a common soup, lot of carrots, potatoes and kind of chorizo.. Nothing like real Cocido Madrileño.. Also, ordered buñuelos de bacalao (cod croquettes)... looked good, but had no taste. And the plate had some creamy sauce , but didn't add any particular flavor. Lamb chops were greasy, mofongo filled with shrimps in garlic sauce tasteless too!! About service.. we ordered drinks to the only waiter available who didn't come back until drinks were ready, about 15 minutes later. No more drinks or dessert offered! Lenel Restaurant is a very famous place in Arecibo. For us, high prices for common food with very good presentation.

No english menu, but would still highly recommend! We got the platter and fried chicken wings. Platter was 20 while 6 wings were for 6. Everything in the platter was delicious. Yam fries were freshly cooked and very crispy. The sauce on grilled beef was just about right. Chicken wings came with spicy mayo sauce. However, there are a lot of oil on the plate (in case you are very health conscious). We also got a strawberry mojito that has strawberries in it. There are other flavours to choose from as well.

We were a group of four and were driving around to see the beautiful sights on road # 681 when we saw this place. We have been at the one next door but wanted to try this one. Not disappointed at all. It was far beyond our expectations. Yaz, our waitress was very nice. Pilar, the manager as well. The place was packed with people and we got our lunch in a reasonable time. Food was delicious, especially the mofongo. The views are breathtaking. Looking forward to going back soon.

This restaurant opened about a year and a half ago in my hometown and tourists may benefit from finding it if they are visiting surrounding towns.

My husband and I decided to visit this restaurant after reading the reviews of customers in Trip Advisor. Unfortunately, our experience was very bad. The reasons were the following: 1. They did not have all the dishes of the menu. 2. They even did not have one of the complements my husband ask for. 3. There is poor illumination at the entrance. 4. Women's restroom did not have toilet paper. 5. Prices were high. 6. Food taste was fair. 7. Food amount in the dishes was poor.

We went there after we toured Cuevea Ventana where they advertise just as you leave the grounds. The restaurant did not disappoint. The seafood salad was amazing, so were the chickpeas escabeche. Mofonfo and pasta alfredo were awesome, too. Loved this place a lot.

We went to this restaurant highly recommended by some friends and reviews from TA. We waited longer than 2 hours for the food. When we finally asked for the food the owner came and told us that they were understaffed and had a long wait. Then proceeded to tell us that it was a small price to pay for freshly cooked food. She also referenced the menu saying they had a disclaimer that I should have read on their menu about their wait times. I wanted to leave at that point but didnât want to make the other friends feel bad since they had recommended this place. My husband asked for a shrimp soup and it was watery and tasteless . Never again! Think twice of going to this place unless you want to cultivate an appetite.THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE! You were a party of four that arrived to the restaurant last on Sunday. We were FULLY BOOKED and sat you at the last available table. We seat 125 people so your table was last to prepare, as we donât skip tables. As I passed to your table to see how your party was doing (as I do all our guests). You were upset and kept giving me snarky looks. I really donât know why. The 3 other guests in your party said they loved everything from the food to the ambiance to the service. The couple that invited you said they were from caguas and always visited our area and soon would come by again. Im sorry your a âdifficult personâ and glad everyone else enjoyed there visit.

February 11, 2019 while on a birding/nature trip, our guide stopped here at 11:30 for lunch. He said we had to beat the crowd. Cafeteria style. 2 ladies stood on the other side, behind the glass so customers can not touch the food. They were very helpful in explaining all the different dishes. I had a stuffed chicken breast with a couple of sides for $8.95 and my wife had the salmon for $12.99. A drink was included. Cash or credit card. Food was very good. And yes, at noon the place had a line of 20 people. I counted. Do not hesitate to stop if you are hungry.
