From the moment I stepped into La Criolla Restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere was welcoming and radiated a warm, inviting vibe that made me feel right at home. It was evident that this wasn't just any dining experience; it was going to be something special.The service at La Criolla is unparalleled. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their recommendations from the menu were spot on, catering to my taste and dietary preferences with expert knowledge. The attention to detail in their service made me feel valued and appreciated, contributing significantly to the overall pleasant ambiance.Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. Every dish at La Criolla is a masterpiece of culinary art. The flavors were vibrant, perfectly balanced, and a true testament to the chef's skill and passion for cooking. The ingredients were fresh, high-quality, and beautifully presented, making each bite a delightful experience. It was evident that there was a lot of love and care put into the preparation of the meals, from the appetizers to the desserts.One of the highlights of my meal was the signature dish (let's say it was a seafood paella), which was absolutely divine. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and the rice was flavorful and aromatic, a perfect harmony of spices and ingredients. It was a dish that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting La Criolla.In conclusion, La Criolla Restaurant is a gem that offers an exceptional dining experience with its excellent food and outstanding service. It's a place where you can feel the passion for food and hospitality in every detail. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner spot or a place to celebrate a special occasion, La Criolla is a perfect choice. I can't wait to return and indulge in more culinary delights.

This place was absolutely disgusting. I had ordered the mofongo with skirt steak. The mofongo was beyond salty with no other flavor. The skirt steak was eating rubber. I chewed so much to eat a small piece my wife thought I was trying to eat the whole thing in bite. I would never come here ever again and I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place at all.This place was absolutely disgusting. I had ordered the mofongo with skirt steak.

Good Spanish restaurant, not in favor of the buffet just don't believe the food can stay fresh that way. But overall very friendly staff would recommend people try this restaurant. Especially if you like Puerto Rican food ??

The sancocho was very delicious but, what a shame, I can't say the same about the scramble. It was very wet, it seems like they mixed it with milk.
