4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2012

Had the chicken parmesan. Was good chicken. Service was kind of slow even tho the place was empty. Regular for Puerto Rico but still slow compared to other top restaurants rated on Tripadvisor. Give at least 15 minutes to get your food, 5 minutes for the bill. Nice server showed up tourist spots. 15$ with plate, yuca, water, tip.

We sat outside and had a Medalla for $1.50 which was a great price. The restaurant was not busy but the meal took a long time. The bartender/waiter brought out some warm bread with a great mangp/garlic butter which was a great appetizer. We ordered the grouper and mofongo with a nice sauce. The fish was done just right and... More

We walked past this restaurant a fews times and finally decided to stop in on my husbands birthday. We were with my brother and his kids 13/11 yrs old. We were so happy with the selections. All 3 adults were blown away with the great food and the kids were happy too. That isn't easy to accomplish. We especially loved... More

This is a quaint restaurant with delicious food. The grouper is fantastic. If you like trying new foods then give this place a try. The service was good as well.

We went there to buyfrench fries for a little boy, and ended up having dinner there everynight during our four-night stay. The service left nothing to be desired, the portions were great, and the food was very tasty. I cannot remember the waitress' name, but she was one of the best that I have experienced. If you stay in or... More

The piña colada was one of the tastier ones I've had. The scampi was fairly standard, could've used more garlic, to my tastes, but garlic is a food group for me. The service, however, was outstanding! Not over-solicitous but we never felt neglected. And the suggestions of guava butter for the rolls, and raspberry crème brûlée were perfect!

This is the slogan of this 10 month old restaurant and it is very appropriate. Middle price and good food. The owner came over to each table to see how our meals were and make sure everyone was happy. Generous portions, home cooked food, deserts and bread.I had the pork steak which was huge and tasty, my husband had ribs... More

Physically, Spice doesn't look like much, but the food and service will impress you. You have the option of eating indoors (tables or the bar), or outside on the terrace. We chose the terrace and were glad we did. The warm, evening air was lovely, the margaritas excellent, and our dinners were very good (I had grouper), and an excellent... More
