Vaca Brava - Hato Puerco Abajo

We got the: Queso frito Mofongo with pork Monterey chicken sweet plantains First off, most people know this but I don 't eat Mexican/Latino food. I don 't like the smell or the ingredients. However, being in Puerto Rico, I said I would try the local cuisine. I tried the mofongo with pork, while my wife got the Monterey chicken with sweet plantains. And, as we like to do with new places, we tried the fried cheese (queso frito). The fried cheese was different than any fried cheese we 've ever had. No breading, and it was closer in consistency to cheese curds that have been fried. The sauce was NOT marinara, but rather a sweet sauce. Overall, it was different but good! My wife 's food was ok, but the chicken was definitely well done . Plantains were really sweet, like a fried banana. My food...... was different but good! The pork was fried and hard, and I didn 't know how I felt about the mashed plantains in mine. They were definitely different. However, getting a bite of pork, plantain, and onion was delicious! I 'm very glad I tired it, and even happier it turned out to be something I can eat. This place was good though. It wasn 't a small, local eatery. It felt more commercial or touristy, but the servers were friendly, and the food came out quick and hot.

Three beautiful steaks on a bed of fries, on a bed of lettuce. Steaks were on the sweet and saucy side but still well within the range of great tasting steak. Also had ribs tacos which were great. Great job, would return.

Try the Kan Kan! Fabulous! And the fries were awesome as well. Drinks were great, service was great! Alex was the best! We hung out at the bar afterward for a couple more drinks, while waiting for the rain to end, he was extremely friendly, gave us a couple samples of liquors we had never tried before. Thanks Alex! We'll definitely be visiting again!

I had an amazing experience going back home and trying the delicious food at this restaurant. My wife loved the food after visiting Puerto Rico for the first. The only thing I can say is that the prices are a bit high but it is expected since it is in a tourist area. The facilities were very clean and the service was very quick. When we went there was not many people in the area so we had a good and quiet experience. However if you go when cruise ships have docked it will absolutely be completely full and service may be much slower.

Underwhelming very “fast food”puerto rican food, and very oily.
