Chef's Creations — Restaurant in Ponce

The ambiance of this place is fantastic! It's not far from the Plaza and there's a parking garage on the left side of the street just before it. The entrance is set way back and goes into a beautiful courtyard. Glass windows separate the chefs so you can see them prepare your churrasco or fish filet. The bar is in the back off to the side so you don't have the main dining room just behind your back. I cannot tell you how much I loved the look of it!

The food was not extraordinary. My teen sons had the churrasco which they felt was bland at one end and too salty at the other. I had a bite of the "salty" end of one and found that the meat melted in my mouth but had a quite salty finish. They liked the rice (mamposteado). I just had a side of rice with cilantro and a salad. The salad had the beautiful colored cherry tomatoes and the lettuce variety was tasty and crisp.

The food was fine but the ambiance was definitely worth the trip. The menu had some tempting appetizers like nachos, mushrooms, and caprese eggplant rounds. The entrées, ranging from low to high $20s, were steaks or filets of fish with the more or less usual assortment of PR sides. The service was great! I would definitely give it...

Upon our arrival I thought: oh, oh...what did I get us into here? But was I in for a huge and pleasant surprise!! After passing through a very odd little passage, we found ourselves in a very cool, rustic place, with a lot of odds and ends everywhere. After we seated ourselves, the server greeted us by asking "Spanish or English?" and my mood immediately was in heaven because I didn't have to feel strange because I don't speak Spanish! She explained to us the lunch menu, which changes every day and they didn't have a menu! I thought: how cool is that? She even wrote it down for us! I ordered Gouper and Shrimp Thermidor and it was served faster than McDonald's but 1000x more delicious! This little restaurant exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anybody! And I'm not getting paid to say this I was genuinely happy with Chef's Creations! Great...

One of the better places for lunch in Ponce.

Here in Chef's Creations, the food is pretty good. Generally, you'll find a few rices, 2 or 3 meats, a veggie option, and 1 or 2 sides for your meal.

Do not underestimate this place. The food is delicious, and the portions are big.

Service is decent. Nothing special.

Prices are pretty standard, around $9 for a lunch which is decent for Ponce.

The atmosphere is quite nice. It gives off an old-fashioned restaurant vibe which most people can enjoy. It's actually quite fresh, actually, so you won't melt here.

Generally, this is a pretty good lunch option. I'd argue top 5 in Ponce for lunch. My advice is to check their Facebook page for the menu and then just go and visit. I'd argue it's well worth your...
