Francis UdlerOctober 15, 2014This place is a must. Churrasco w/ guava sauce perfectly cooked and arroz con carne ali-oli soooo decadent- huge portion.Try the potato side. White sangria w/ sugar cane. Service is amazing!
El LegendarioFebruary 27, 2014Awesome place. Good wine selection, fish tacos and croquetas you gotta try them; jands down. Service was warming, good knowledge of their products. All by the bartender called Carlos.
Rebecca MaldonadoDecember 21, 2014Takes our puertorrican cuisine to the next level! Their porkbelly with their guarapo glaze...perfection! The escabeche of gandules is delicious!
James JarrellSeptember 5, 2014The arroz con pollo is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Everything we tried was great, but the rice with chicken is out of this world.
James LytleJanuary 3, 2016Order anything on the menu. You will enjoy a meal you will remember for its subtlety and nuance. Brilliant cooking at LJB!!!!
NataschaOSJune 13, 2013Try the arroz mamposteao! Don't know what it is? Trust me just order it! Great place and atmosphere in the midst of the Miramar neighborhood
Humberto RuizJuly 8, 2012Great service and food. Arrive early if you don't want to wait to be seated. It gets very busy. Try the calamari and the ribs. Delicious!
Estela PadroJune 13, 2012The Best ceviche & meat taco as appetizers ever!!! Main courses were also awesome, so the service!!! A must GO!
Try the different types of mojitos. Strawberry, guava, mango, passion fruit, papaya, soursup, acerola or traditional.
Luisa Vázquez CruzDecember 9, 2012Great mojitos. But please, dont charge me for the sides. That is just greedy. The empanada montá was amazing tho...
Super delicious abd worth the wait. Nice atmosphere and always interesting people to see. One of my favorite spots.
Neha AnadaApril 29, 2012Great food and great atmosphere. I recommend ordering a mix of apps and entrees and sharing, tapas-style.
- Mauryne RiveraJune 23, 2012I can recommend the skirt steak with guava sauce.... Absolutely delicious
Pepe GarciaMarch 5, 2011La Jaquita sucks for dinner!!! The never have the fish...it's the 4th time they run out before 9 o'clock ... + they are mega slow to sit u down!
Guillermo EchevarriaJune 10, 2014Train or fire your waiters. Hands down, the worst service; the chef should cut down the salt.
Francisco ColonMarch 19, 2011Slow. Good drinks. Appetizers small for price. Out of all the entres the chuleton was the only one worth the cost.
El mejor lugar para comer, cenar y tapear. Todo es fresco y local. El menú cambia por temporada de buenísimo a mejor. Los calamares y los chicharrones de tiburón y mantaraya están super-buenísimos.
Mara MOctober 5, 2012Este sitio es divino. Los gnocci, los calamares fritos, el churrasco, el diplo (postre) y los mojitos de acerola!!! Haganme caso y disfruten!
Marielena Peña CastroJune 15, 2013Los Taquitos de pescado son sumamente ricos y frescos. La Guarapeta es el trago oficial de la casa , divino!
Gabriela MuñizAugust 24, 2014El "pork belly" con mofongo es delicioso, pero el caldo un poco salado. Y los mojitos son todos ricos!

"Good vibes! Went there on a Friday. People hanging around and havin' drinks, dancing on the street with live music. Great place for people watching. Went there by myself and had a blast."

"Hijos de Borinquen is a handsome and delicious cocktail; yet you can’t go wrong with any of the choices. Great vibe, beautiful interior. One of the greatest bars I have ever been. Love this place."
