El Ranchón de mi Abuelo — Restaurant in San Sebastián

This was our 1st restaurant as a family while visiting in San Sebastián. This place is tucked away near Salto Collazo. Met the owner and son and they were so amazing towards our group of 14 plus 6 more that came later. We had a mix of meat eaters and vegetarians and they were able to accommodate us all. We got their when they 1st opened so they were a little slow at first and short handed but the food more than made up for the wait. Now before I talk about the food- let's talk drinks . 🍸 🍹🍹🍹. Their mojitos were by far the best I have had while in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. They must infuse it with magic and love because they were so delicious. Many different types of concoctions and we had over 15 types of them. We WILL BE BACK. The food, let me just say I have never ever had better mofongo then this place. I had mofongo with Mero ( a type of red snapper or swordfish) and it was phenomenal. We also had the mega ranchon which is a variety platter of all the fried foods - it was sooo good and huge. We had the chuleta Kan kan ( a huge fried pork chop). Papa's local and other seafood dishes. Absolutely everything was amazing . This is a hidden gem 💎...

Very nice location. Ample parking. Clean place. Service was disappointing. There was no lack of employees. It was just they were hiding in the kitchen, chatting with friends or just plainly ignoring you. Our waitress was the only one attending all tables, back and forth without stop. The others, fine thank you. Gave me the impression this place needs better administration. Took over 10 minutes to get a menu. Got two nice and tasty alcapurrias, a round of mojitos and an hour had gone by. We finally decided to cut short our visit, pay for drinks and go some other...

Our experience at this restaurant was a 0/10! We waited two hours for our APPETIZERS, only got our drinks and we left before we got our entrees because we were told they were out of chicken, pork, and WATER! Our waiter gave us an awful attitude, the other servers walked around and seemed like they were barely working. Overall, we will never come here again and this was an awful experience!
