- SSaraCaribbean •2 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 26, 2026Amor y Sal is a spot you shouldn’t overlook. The food is consistently delicious, and their mamposteao rice is always a standout. The meats come out juicy and tender every time, and the cheese balls with guayaba never disappoint. If you’re into Caribbean flavors, this place will easily earn a spot in your top five for PRican food. Give it a try if you haven’t yet; you’ll quickly understand why locals keep coming back.
