Lechonera El Yunque Puerto Rican Restaurant and Bar

The food was good, the atmosphere was excellent with Christmas lighting decorations, I felt like I was at a lechonera in Puerto Rico. My second time there but first time for dinner and they didn’t disappoint with the food, service, or quality.

So it was my first and last time, to start of the lady taking order was i guess moody, secondly y order 2 cans of soda and was charged $6.18, come on now. I can understand prices are rising, i don't have issues paying for food, but when you try to sell me a can that is worth maybe $1.50 and you charge me $3 come on, thats robbing me right there 🤷‍♀️ So i returned them and she says there is no manager, so i said it wasn't my problem that id like a refund, seconds later, a manager appears. I did got my refund but left very dissapointed. Besides 4 little sweet potatoes $6 dollars, like wth. Be reasonable, if you're gonna charge $12 dollars for the rice and meat then lower the price on the soda. The pack its about $6 or $7. So selling them at $3 for me, it's robbing period. The rice was a bit

Food is delicious and love the presentation, Service was good, I absolutely love the atmosphere is amazing the vibes is super cool

It took over an hour before we got service but not before having to stop one of the servers to ask for beers then again had to flag another server to be able to order the food since the 1rst one never came back. Before 5pm they had ran out of morsillas, chicharrón de cerdo and pernil asado, the main reason why we went to a Puertorican Restaurant! The mofongo was cold, the carne fritas was ok- little small serving size. A 3rd server brought us more beers on a bucket, but had already opened every single one of them since "they didn't have an opener"... even the ones that are hand open type. If you want to have some kind of conversation, don't seat inside as the music is sooo loud that you can't hear each other. Maybe I'm expecting too much. After all I'm Puertorican myself. VERY DISAPPOINT

The music was enjoyable, but the food was stale and the lady serving seemed to hate her job, being very moody; additionally, the bar didn't serve drinks, with the exception of beer, as per the lady who attended after a long wait, which led us to leave and we won't return. It's just not organized.
