Ruth's Chris Steak House

Reviewed By astridaponte1957 - San Juan, Puerto Rico

We come very often to this restaurant, almost every weekend, specially after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. Our favorite steak restaurant has always been Morton’s but it has been closed for remodeling after the hurricane. Even though the food is ok at Ruth’s Chris there is a strategy they use that is really uncomfortable. They segregate local clients and tourists. We asked the manager after several visits to the restaurant and he said it was their way of running the business. Mr. Manager that way of running the business is called racism.

Bebo's BBQ

Reviewed By Jasmin B - Dorado, Puerto Rico

If you wanna get a taste of authentic Puerto Rican food and are on a budget, this is the place to go! Always busy, always fresh, delicious and inexpensive. We've been coming here countless times. I have tried the pernil, pollo asado, longaniza de pollo, morcilla, batata, arroz con gandules, arroz blanco con habichuelas and tostones de pana. Every single thing was DELICIOUS. Hard to imagine anyone wouldn't like this food, it's just so good!!!

El Platanal

Reviewed By Gustavo C - Rincon, Puerto Rico

We went there after a family member baptism. It was a group of about 40 persons. They seemed to be unabled to handle the big group problema with orders and tickets. Table service was ok. The food varied the puertorican cuisine food especially plantain based food was great. I ordered the alfredo chicken pasta and 3 others did as well and we all agreed it wasnt good it was dry and chewy. Summary place is good they have great specials even on weekens but stick to their specialty which is plantains.

El Nuevo Acuario

Reviewed By Carol F - Lansdale PA

My family (me, husband, two older teens) chose this restaurant based on TA reviews while driving from a Luquillo beach back to Dorado where we were staying. Talk about timely decisions--worried that we were underdressed due to our beach day, we figured we would take a peek and if we felt uncomfortable, we could just not go in. Well, when we got there, we realized that this restaurant, like most others in the vicinity is laid back and beachy as well, with the water just down below. The owners seated us, served us, chatted with us and one of them even introduced his daughter who was visiting. We were served tastes of the house sangria, which we ordered. The red snapper was recommended so my husband chose that and was not disappointed. I had conch salad which was great, my son had the churrasco salad and couldn't finish it (maybe because we went a bit overboard on the ceviche and calamari apps!) and my daughter ordered the seafood rice. The rice arrived maybe 2 minutes later than the other entrees (about which we were told) and I am pretty sure they almost doubled the amount for the slight inconvenience. Needless to say, boxes of food came with us. The charming service, and wonderful food were a treat considering the quick decision-this is why TA is so handy! Side note: we ate outside for the view, which was a nice option. The outside Seating is a bit casual but as I said, the attention and quality of food were the highlights. Stop by if in the area, you won't be disappointed!

Oriental Palace Express

Reviewed By surf_golf - Guaynabo, Puerto Rico

We've eaten a couple of times here, usually it we ordered for Takeout (the food is very good, it's a clean chinese restaurant with good prices and large portions). One day we decided to try the sushi and we were very impressed. The sushi was excellent, they have several specials that vary by month to go along with the rest of their menu. The cook is very friendly and prepares some excellent sushi rolls. We've come back several times and the experiences have been consistently good!

Famous Dave's

Reviewed By Jean T - SJU

One of us was hungry for a taste of the US, so we stopped by Famous Dave's. Wednesday at 6:30pm and the large restaurant was EMPTY - sad. At first we sat at a booth and waited and waited, no server came, so we moved to the bar. Smart decision, the bartender was very good. Beers are served in a small can of ice (Perfect for wetting your hands after digging into your ribs! Started with the naked wings so we could try the 5 different sauces. All were excellent. The $8.99 dinner special is a great value and more then enough for a adult. The Big Baby Ribs was $29.00 but it was huge and came with two sides and a corn muffin... fair price. Manager came and checked on everything. Will go back and sit at the bar.

Piscolabis Mexicanos

Reviewed By adiazjr15

Their carne al pastor is the best in PR. Their chicken is always good too. The have a lunch special of $5-6, which is a good deal, really, a Steal. Their owners are usually on site and are very attentive, the other servers are good too. Their menu is fairly simple, but the food is excellent. Try it!
