PaL' MoNCHi — Restaurant in Mayagüez

Where to start? This place completely stole my heart! First, the high-quality service blew me away. From the moment you walk in, they treat you with such kindness and respect that you feel right at home. They even offer samples of some of their flans so you can get a taste before deciding. Honestly, it makes you want to pull up a chair, sit down, and chat with them while enjoying dessert, lol.

I ended up leaving with 10 desserts, including one they gave me as a courtesy, which I truly appreciated. So far, I’ve tried five of them, and let me tell you, they’re incredible. The Snickers flan is on another level! The pumpkin flan and Japanese cheesecake are battling for second place, and the pastel flan and coconut flan were amazing too. I still have a few in the fridge—pitorro, tequila, and mezcal flavors—and I have no doubt they’ll be, as we Puerto Ricans say, En La Madre!!!

But wait, I can’t finish without mentioning the flan that shocked me the most: the pernil flan! Yes, pork flan! They didn’t have it available for purchase, but I got to sample it, and it was absolutely next level!

Sadly, I no longer live in Puerto Rico; otherwise, this place would definitely be in my top 3 to visit regularly. A word of advice to the owner: bring this concept to Central Florida (Orlando/Kissimmee) and let me know how it goes!

This place deserves 10 stars instead of...

Don't get me wrong by my review, the desserts are absolutely delicious 😍. The one I loved most was the "tres leches cake" ( not sure if in English it's called "three milks cake", lol), but it's divine and at a great price!

But the main dessert, that I think is the "Flan", though they are very delicious 😍, and still recommend it, they are very very small and in my opinion...

Excellent! I love the variety of flavors and most important... Is sweet but not too sweet. It doesn't overwhelm your taste buds and you can savor the whole dessert. I give an A+ for originality and flavor. If you're visiting the island, this should be one of your stops. Try the Christmas related desserts or the 3 leches. You won't go wrong with your choice...
