upscale elevated establishment. Great location and superb experience. On the expensive side but worth it. We had the Tuna sliders appetizer - delicious and as main courses the Bacalao and Angus beef - both cooked to perfection.

We have to fly to Puerto Rico once a year to get our destination (Anguilla). We could also choose Miami. But since going to MG in 2024, Puerto Rico is our choice, largely credited to Mario pagan’s fabulous food. We stay on Condado, walk to the restaurant and know our experience is always going to be amazing. It’s consistently perfect.
