You must go to Platos if you are in the Isla Verde area. Had paella, it was worth the wait and there was enough for two. Their signature drink is a coconut sangria, suggest having it as a dessert it is really sweet but good!

Decided to have lunch today in celebration of Mother's Day. We were a party of 8 (5 adults and 3 children). We waited at the door for about 15 minutes to be tended to. After being seated we put in our drink order because we could tell the restaurant was busy. We looked over the menu and waited another 10... More

I must say this restaurant is in my top restaurants to go and have a nice dinner. The food is amazing, the service is fantastic, the atmosphere makes me feel autentic from Puerto Rico. To all the staff thanks for all u do. Had an amazing time and can wait to come back and sit and relax.

If you visit or live in Isla Verde you have to eat/drink at Platos. The food and the service are very good (I recommend the fried red snapper). The coconut sangria is amazing. The menu is a little pricey...but overall good value.

Las Chicas de Nueve York, returned as promised we would (see August 2012 Review) and we were not disappointed for 5 dinners (it's the only place we eat at). The addition of a new Tamarind Sangria, DELISH! Brought our take out containers and traveled back to NYC with 7 orders of Mofongo de Yuca, creole sauce and complimentary Guava Butter!... More

This place is a much try. The restaurant itself is not fancy but it is very pleasant and fun. There was live music and our waitress Katie was very friendly and she knew the menu inside out. All of her recommendations were delicious. I had the snapper fillet with lemon caper sauce and tuber mash. It was amazing. The coconut... More

Staying at the Hampton Inn across the street for business. Didn't want to drive somewhere or go into OSJ and deal with parking. Strolled across the street and walked in. Was greeted right away and seated. Server was quick to arrive with water and to take drink order. Went with the Puerto Rican delights, a mix of empenadas, fritters, and... More

Ask for Anthony he was our server and food recommendations where on point. Must try Sangria I was feeling good after half. Almost stayed another day just... More

When we walked in I was thinking I don't know about this place..bare cement floors, nothing fancy to say the least. Turned out to be an excellent choice. Cocunut sangria was delicious. Every meal in the party was raved about. I had chucked stuffed with plantains and wrapped n bacon. Had some kind of creamy sauce.....excellent. Even the rice, which... More

It was only 10min from the hotel and it wasn't crowded at 6:30pm. Our server was Carla and she also had a trainee,Nelson. Our party had nobody that spoke or read Spanish however Carla was patient...
