A Gem Accidentally Discovered

My family and I decided to go on a road trip to nowhere through the north of Puerto Rico a couple months ago. The thing was that we became pretty hungry through out the trip, we had seen this restaurant that looked so homey and every time we passed through the restaurant was always full.

This restaurant is in Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, and the name is “Hacienda Don Jando”

The history behind the restaurant is pretty interesting. They have different chairs and tables, because they have been donated from different people that the owners have helped.

But y’all are here to here about the food, am I right? They have a sushi roll, but here is the kicker. The sushi roll is fried, has churrasco (skirt steak), amarillo, rice, cream cheese and mayoketchup. Most of us Puerto Ricans breath, sleep and drown in mayoketchup.

Either way coming back to the sushi. I have never had sushi before, but I can assure you that this is one of the tastiest “sushi” rolls that you could ever have.

Same as they have this dish that has ribs, pork chops and chicken breast filled with plantains. The sides are white rice, beans, ripe plantains and tostones. Making its the ultimate Puerto Rican feast.

The thing that I really don’t recommend is the milk shakes. But the environment really family friendly, the food is amazing and the service is amazing. My rating for this restaurant 8.5

The Cabachuela Caverns

The Cabachuela Caverns are located in Morovis, Puerto Rico. Its composed of 6 caverns where you visit 3 of them. If you are interested you can write them to their web page on facebook “Las Cabachuelas de Morovis”.

The volounteers that are working in the caverns are looking up to teach and preserve the history of the “tainos” that once lived in the caves. Because most of the people that lives on that area of Morovis doesn’t know about it the caves neither the history that are in them.

In this place you can find a lot of different eco systems and the different insects that live inside the caverns.

This place is beautiful and really is a new adventure. I recommend if you go in a tour with them go in some shoes that can get dirty and some long pants or leggings.

This place is to go to if you are looking up for an adventure inside the island or if you want to challenge your self to do something new. This is a great place to take children so they have contact with nature and learn new things about the past.

My rating is 10/10.

Café Lareño Torrefacción Coffee Shop

“Café Lareño Torrefaccion Coffee Shop”, is located in Lares, Puerto Rico, and is owned by the coffee company “Café Lareño”.

The facilities are located in a rural area. I recommend to go in a small car and if you are going with your family or with a group of friends, is preferable that everyone go in the same car, due to the parking is pretty limited and sometimes is full.

This coffee shop has a beautiful view towards the coffee plantation, same as this place has a homey feeling. Giving you the feeling like you are in a Puerto Rican Grandmother house.

In addition of drinking delicious coffee and pastries, you can delight with one of their breakfast, sandwiches or hamburgers.

Downstairs the coffee shop they have a beautiful garden. Where you can enjoy having a good conversation or just enjoy the view and relax.

This place is a must if you are a coffee lover visiting Puerto Rico. My rating is a 8.5 out of 10.
