Mucho Gusto (RIO PIEDRAS) — Restaurant in San Juan

Edit: The owner/manager kindly reached out to me directly to make up for the error I described below. I felt it important to acknowledge that here and it was very appreciated!

I was left disappointed with the service, but they serve a wonderful product.

I asked if it was possible for a birthday message to be written on a pre-ordered ice cream cake and got confirmation that my request would be fulfilled. 3 days later, the request was not fulfilled and I wasn't the one picking it up so I didn't know.

I would have preferred to have been told the request was not possible or been communicated with that it wasn't able to be done for whatever reason. Or it was perhaps forgotten.

It was so delicious!) and the chocolate olive oil ice cream (made with almond milk base; very good, although didn’t really taste like olive oil). They also have ice cream sandwiches. And the shop is in an area with a ton of cool vegan spots including Semilla. Will definitely be coming back every time I come...

Mucho Gusto is AMAZING!!! I just visited and had the Wildberry Cheezecake ice cream. It was creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the right amount of berry sweetness and tang. Best part is that everything is gluten free and vegan. You’d honestly never guess these were plant-based.The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the space has a fun, fresh vibe. We felt right at home. We’ll definitely be back. 100% recommend for anyone visiting Puerto Rico, especially if you want a sweet treat that’s allergy-friendly and...
