Recommendations

"Here we savored the tastiest alcapurria – a light and flaky pastry filled with ground beef but can also be filled with vegetables, shrimp or jueyes (a local crab)."
"You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but I would always recommend ordering a side of sweet, fried plantains. Muy delicioso."
"Its habichuelas or red beans have a distinct flavor that comes from stewing them in cilantro, and the skirt steak with habechulas, rice and tostones is out of this world."
"Out of this world."
"We enjoyed some tasty Alcapurrias de la Casa – ground beef encased in deep fried plantain dough."
"Cafe El Punto makes some great ones."
"Definitely worth eating while in Puerto Rico!"
"Over the course of the tour we got to try many local favourite dishes: Alcapurrias from Café el Punto topped with a deceptively spicy hot sauce – a fritter made from green bananas and taro root, filled with meat."
"You could tell they were made from scratch and were served to us immediately after frying. These babies were a huge hit with the group. Who can blame them? They are scrumptious!"
"The best part of the meal was the rice and beans, surprisingly."
