Was recommended by a friend that this place was a must go to when in Puerto Rico, Guaynabo area. We made reservations on a Monday evening and lucky we did because it was packed. The place is a nice size with outdoor and bar seating. You walk into the restaurant through their grocery market where you can purchase lots of different Puerto Rican Frozen To Go meals and side dishes. The dining area is spacious and VERY well lit (would have preferred it to be dimmer as it took away from the ambiance). Service was good and friendly but our waiter forgot 2 of our dishes but thankfully he did because we ordered with our eyes. The food was good.... really good. For starters we had the gruyere cheese balls. It came an order of 8 hot and crispy round croquettes with a sweet guava sauce. Then came out the mini alcapurrias which were also good (I would have preferred a traditional mayo ketchup as the sauce it came with tasted like just plain mayo). Then we had our main dish, the arroz con gandules risotto. This dish was surprisingly sooooo good. Perfect balance of flavors, noticeable sofrito, perfect texture, and amount of cheese. However, the chicharron on top seemed more like bagged than fresh. I would have preferred fresh crispy cuerito (the top crunchy skin of a freshly cooked pernil). We also had the mac n cheese - creamy and flavorful and lastly the tuna tartar on crispy pegao (the crispy rice that you find on the bottom of a pot) Overall, nice experience and I'll definitely be back to try other things on their...
Read moreWilo Eatery and Bar offers an outstanding dining experience where every dish is a celebration of flavor and creativity. From start to finish, we were impressed!
We started with the Gouda Cheese “Bolitas” paired with a delightful Guava BBQ sauce. The crispy exterior and creamy interior, combined with the sweet and tangy sauce, made this appetizer unforgettable.
For the main courses, I had the Angus Beef Tenderloin “Bistec Encebollado,” a perfectly cooked tenderloin served with onions and a butter vinegar jus—a savory and rich combination that was simply exquisite. My wife enjoyed the Pasta Bolognese, a comforting and flavorful dish with cream cheese, a vibrant salsa roja, amarillos, and melted mozzarella cheese. The balance of sweet plantains and hearty Bolognese sauce made it a unique and delicious creation.
We ended our meal with a sampling of four incredible desserts: the rich and velvety Pikayo Cheese Flan, the refreshingly tart Bottom Crust Key Lime “Pie,” the indulgent Chocolate Decadence with raspberry coulis and caramel, and the Fudge Brownie topped with salted caramel and vanilla ice cream. Each dessert was a treat for the senses!
The restaurant’s ambiance is chic and inviting, perfect for a special night out, and the staff provided exceptional service, ensuring we had a wonderful experience. Wilo Eatery and Bar is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy innovative cuisine with a local twist. Highly...
