I sincerely dont give bad reviews, But I did this one cause I am really upset cause couple of friends sell me this place as the big thing but we didn't have that experience.

1. When we came we automatically were sended to wait (we are 2, we were wearing casual but still on a 23 Anniversary lunch date...I don't wanna think because our phisical appearence) But the next group standing were 7 people and they were attended and seated at the moment. Their appeatence were different from ours) 🤔

2. 2 of the items on the menu we ask to have they were not serving it anymore (need to update the menu)

3. When a puertorrican restaurant called Raices have a appetizer called Tacos con pernil al cardero you expect the dough-y thing that you fry NOT THE MEXICAN TORTILLA because we are on a puertorrican rest. So please put a notice is a mexican taco.

4. My husband ask for a Parcha mojito...He recieve a normal mojito

5. I ask for the stuffed dorado with shrimp and arroz mampostiao and recieve chillo a la criolla with arroz mampostiaso.

6. Is so sad to tell but the rice was rotten (slipery, slimey that I know it was long time out unrefrigerate. Actually it happens to me in my kitchen when i leave a caldero with rice from 12 to 18 hrs..it get squichy...and the smell seriously smell like that. It was like made with the beans and the rice from two days before and seriously it had just 3 beans), no veggies..Just the rice made wit the sauce of the beans [agua de sazon y caldo de habichuela..no sal]

7. The plate that my husband ask couldn't be altered, He ask also for mampostiado but it has to be with vianda mash. (I guess they made the plates on mass production)

When a restaurant get renoun or really famouse they tend to slack and take for granded the quality of the product and they get used to recieve money and just preocupied of the quantity instead of the quality (therefore they attended the group after us instead of us because we were just 2 ) We are a family of foodies, we went inside PR and outside The island to taste and enjoy restaurants. And is sad a Rest. So "famouse" is being by far this bad at least with us. (You can see my other reviews and almost all are 5 stars cause we follow other reviews and friends opinions) Maybe it was a bad Sunday. *Is so sad, Please improve on the freshness and the In the moment plate service, I am not a hater. I wished you could fix this and soon I can hear you improve and I can come back and fix the stars and tell my other friends to go and taste a real boricua gastronomic experience.

Salad and raices del cielo were good. PLEASE INSTEAD OF MEXICAN TACO DO THE FRY THINGYS FROM HERE.
