I recently dined at this picturesque Latin restaurant that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the charming ambiance and the warm, inviting atmosphere. The decor included a delightful section of antique technology, evoking a sense of nostalgia and offering a unique touch that set the restaurant apart. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations. The food was simply outstanding. The restaurant offers a diverse menu, where you can find everything from a perfectly cooked pizza to a mouth-watering ribeye, both prepared in a wood-fired oven that infuses the dishes with a distinct, smoky flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were vibrant and authentic, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of Latin America. The cocktail menu was equally impressive, with a wide selection of creative and delicious options. Each cocktail was expertly crafted, making it a perfect complement to the flavorful dishes. Overall, this Latin restaurant is a gem. The combination of excellent service, outstanding food, wonderful cocktails, and the charming touch of antique technology makes it a must-visit. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special dining experience, this restaurant delivers...
Read moreOur visit to Hacienda Don Jando in Isabela was, without a doubt, an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment we arrived, the service and attention made us feel like family, creating a warm and special atmosphere.
To start, we ordered the alcapurrias, which I affectionately called "grandma's alcapurrias." And for good reason! They were as flavorful and authentic as homemade, a true delight for the palate.
For our main course, we chose the churrasco and the jumbo shrimp in garlic cream sauce with mofongo. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. The churrasco was cooked to perfection, and the fresh, juicy shrimp paired ideally with the rich garlic sauce and mofongo.
To culminate this memorable dinner, we experienced the crème brûlée. What a show! They caramelized the sugar right at our table, adding a theatrical and delicious touch to an already exquisite dessert.
In summary, Hacienda Don Jando not only offers delicious and authentic food, but also provides such warm service that it makes you feel like part of their family. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable Puerto Rican...
Read moreMy personal favorite restaurant as well as the most underrated restaurant in all of Puerto Rico.
FOOD: I've gone to this restaurant on multiple occasions and never have I had a meal I didn't like. The risotto is godly and the mofongo relleno de mero with salsa cremosa is so good Jesus himself probably cooked it. The portions are huge and the prices are way too low for the quality and quantity of the food they serve.
SERVICE: easily some of the best waiters and waitresses you can ask for, they are always happy, energetic and positive. Even though the food takes pretty long to cook and serve the staff is always interacting with you and they never cease to try and get you as comfortable as possible
ATMOSPHERE: the decorations speak for themselves. Even though the restaurant itself is very small, it has the most decorations I have ever seen inside of a restaurant. With a beautiful restaurant and a beautiful environment you can bet there is a beautiful atmosphere which constantly gets more and more positive because of the incredible staff.
In short: next time you come to PR come here, eat, and you will...
