It is so worth the drive up into the hills of Ciales. The ropa vieja is so delicious and not dry like Cuban ropa vieja. The service is friendly and helpful when you ask for recommendations. It is clean and open. The best day to go is Thursday at noon. Definitely make sure to enjoy the scenery, take in the view of the Cordillera. I will be back.

My fiance and I stumbled upon this place, and it was DELICIOUS! We got the ropa vieja (which won first prize in all of Puerto Rico), and pina coladas. Having traveled to all the best meat spots in the states, this was one of the best.
The owner, Dowdy, was super friendly and chatted with us for a while. He offered a taste of his house made peanut butter shots, which were also outstanding.
Would highly recommend this place, even if out of the way. The owner, food, and ambiance were top notch.

Arroz Con Jueyes Tostones Y Habichuelas
Parking is first come, street parking is very limited. There was a waiting line but not super long since we got there and a lot of bikers were leaving. The service was ok it is understandable there are two floors to this place and it was super busy. I ordered chicharrón de pollo with mofongo and salad on the side. It took at least 45 minutes for my food to get to me. They had said sorry it took so long the mofongo is made fresh on the spot. I personally know it does not take that long but I do understand the kitchen being busy with so many orders. This is open air so it was very hot a ceiling fan or two on the walls would be nice. The mofongo was ok had good flavoring and the chicharrón was crispy and juicy the salad was ok the portion are small. My sister ordered an octopus salad with tostones which was amazing came in a bowl with maybe 5-6 tostones and salad again small serving. The food is not the worse it’s not the best. It is ok although my sister has been there before and mom and said their chuletas Kankan is the best. I’ll have to order next time. The best thing is the view it is absolutely breathtaking a million dollar view. They had live entertainment which was amazing. The view and entertainment makes up for the long wait and the small portions. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Will be going back.

Asopao De Camarones
I know Ciales has many options for you to stop and eat but you definitely has to make a stop here. We stopped by for a beer and ended up spending few hours chatting with the owner and other customers. We had a sampler with carne frita and was delicious but the winner of the night was the “ropa vieja” a well know cuban dish but serve in the Island as well. Their ropa vieja was perfect. The flavor, seasoning and taste was 5 ⭐️. Great view from their dining area. Don’t lose the opportunity and visit them as soon as you have a chance. Wont be disappointed.

First visit in my Saturday’s of “Chinchorreo”. Heard good things about this place. Immediately go to the roof terrace to see the magnificent view of the mountains it’s amazing!!. The staff is young and friendly they help us to understand the menu. Started with the coconut mojitos although was beautiful presented have to say is one of the best that I ever tasted. Later I order the signature dish of the house the “Caney rice” a combination of meats (paella style)was very delicious. The other orders all were very good.
At the end we spoke with the owner who amicably explain to us the history of the place and how he build the metal sings, the stairs and the roof top.
Is a highly recommended place to spend an afternoon with friends and family enjoying good food and amazing views of the mountains of this beautiful island 🇵🇷
