El Cielo Cantina — Restaurant in Nago

I would like to take the time to give an excellent review for El Cielo! I reached out to the owner about a month ago to help plan a special catering event, an hour and a half north of their restaurant. He was willing to work with the budget and also offer delivery through the mountains of Yanbaru to make the day special for my husband‘s 50th birthday. Upon arrival we were amazed at how prepared the delivery drivers came to set up. They brought chafing dishes, burners, serving utensils, over 330 homemade tortillas (made that morning), Carne Asada, Al Pastore, and Carnitas. In addition, there were four large bottles filled with a variety of freshly made salsas. There were so much food that everybody was able to enjoy seconds and everyone kept asking more about the restaurant. The food was delicious, it was warm and you could tell it was made from the heart. It’s hard to believe that ALL of that food and hand made tortillas were made fresh for the day!!

It was definitely a destination dinner and off the beaten path but an amazing vibe overall. Strong recommend for those who value...

We were hiking in the area and tired to go somewhere else but were drawn to the Mexican flag on the side of the road. It didn’t disappoint! Refreshingly authentic Mexican food. The menu is kind of limited but what they do sell is the best of its kind. We had the carne asada burrito, asada quesadilla, and chips and salsa. The chips were fried themselves and you could just tell everything was made from scratch. Definitely check this out if your in the...
