Why Travelers Love La Casita
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
From my perspective and being the first time everything seemed excellent to me. The food was spectacular, the service 200/200. The only observation was the bathrooms. They must be away from diners to improve the experience. Disappointed with the food this visit. This is the 4th or 5th time that we have been here. The steak was overcooked and the tostones didn't even have salt on them. The arroz Mamposteao was a bit too salty. We will probably give the restaurant one more try. We travel more than an hour to get here. Omg as soon as you put those bacalao balls in your mouth you won't stop until you’ve devoured them all.!!! FN delicious !!!

We went last weekend to Jayuya to share with few friends. One of the couples were staying at Parador Gripiñas so they scouted few places for the group coming from metro area. About La Casita restaurant, one of the best highlights was service. Sandra was excellent on every aspect, she was very attentive to needs of the group, offered good choices from the menu and from the bar. One of house drinks was the grabbed the attention of all and the taste of one of us a moscow mule with lavanda. It came in small wine carafe and a full lavanda color. The food was excellent, small "rellenos de papa", chorizos al vino, croquetas, arañitas... everything was very good.

I sat at a picnic table on the porch looking out into the street. I enjoyed watching cars and a horse pass by. The food was amazing. The empanadillas were so good. Churrasco 10/10. Drinks were strong and tasty.
