La Vecinda’ Arecibo

Parking is pretty tight. For some reason, they don’t open until 4 PM, and even at 4 PM the place didn’t seem ready for customers. The bartender wasn’t available either, so unfortunately, we couldn’t even try it as they noted that the food and drinks preparation will take longer. Hopefully, they’ll improve the organization and service as they get established.

The vibe is relaxed, very clean, the server was attentive and friendly. This is probably the best Mexican food I’ve had so far on the Island. It’s hard to find the real deal. We had the tacos de birria and the tacos de pescado-both were excellent. The servings are very generous. We can’t wait to come back and try the rest!! Great place to stop if you’re traveling West-right off the highway. And they serve till 11pm! It would’ve been nice to see something other than UFC on the tv…

Truely amazing foods. I highly recommended to everyone who is looking for a place to go and eat. Good food, good service and a great family place to enjoy something good ; the food is excellent!!!

Came in late night, not expecting much- was blown away. So good. Highlights for me was the Sopita - a little bowl of chicken consume w chicken and cheese. Rich and decadent. I ordered a plantain and pork dish that was out of this world- the pork sandwiched into a plantain cut lengthwise- again, delicious and amazing presentation. Just so good. I’ll be back- everything on the menu looked fantastic.

Great staff, even better food. The owners are on site making sure it is done right. We loved it. Crystal was amazing. Recommendations we spot on. Thank you
