Cuerdas — Restaurant in Ponce

We walked buy and saw they had lunch specials. We each ordered bistec con cebollas (steak with onions), arroz blanco y habicuelas rosadas white rice with stewed pink beans). Each lunch includes a bottled water. It was very good. 🤗 We will definely go again. The lunch special changes each week day, but I took photos of their regular menus. The guitars decorating the walls and front disply were all hand painted by local artists from Ponce. All wines are from Spain. Currently, they are looking for a Flamenco dancer as their previous one moved to the States. They sponsor live music on the stage of Cheo Feliciano often, they place tables outside on the sidewalk and street and have waiters for attending customers during such events.

This Place look Nice and in A Great Location.. I Give 2 Stars because the Service was Pretty Good The waiter Raymond was Cool and the location looks cool… BUT THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLEEEEEEE … I Order a Veggie Paella and calling this a Paella was Very Disrespectful… I don’t know that this was a bad day for the cook But I told the waitress and He did act like was normalll … Pretty Sad to Give a 2 Stars to a Local Restaurant … But I Will NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL …… WOULD NOT COME BACK AT ALLLLL …. IF I WAS THE OWNER I WOULD WORRY ABOUT HOW THEY RUNNING...

A fancy alternative.

Cuerdas is a restaurant set in an open plaza. It's nice and windy, so it's great for a large group.

They also have indoor options, but I didn't go in to see. Service was pretty good, and the waitress was always checking up on us. Alcohol was a bit slow to arrive (15 mins) but food showed up fast (35 mins).

Prices are high, but not ridiculous. And food quality is higher than most so it compensates.

Overall, pretty good. Go after sundown, and you'll have...
