I loved this place and would eat here again, but with a caveat. The food was outstanding. The shrimp ceviche was remarkable, fresh and delicious. The chicken w yellow aji was amazing, but warm instead of hot. The elote soufflé was maybe the best I’ve tried. And the key lime pie was extremely good also. Service was less outstanding. The restaurant was busy but not full. Drinks were delayed even though the bar didn’t appear busy. We ordered beer and wine with the main course, but they didn’t arrive until after we finished dinner. We turned them away but we’re still charged. If the main courses were meant to be served warm or room temp, then they could have waited until the appetizer was finished, giving us time for wine with the meal. Three different staff attended our table, all very friendly and helpful, but for the price it would have helped to get a warning in advance that the shrimp had to be prepared fresh and would take a half hour, so it would be served almost at the same time as the main courses, and the egg we ordered w the elote never arrived. All in all, a great kitchen but service that doesn’t align with the prices.

Paulina Escanes never disappoints. Our cocktails were well-crafted, the food is tasty and delicious, and the service is friendly and efficient. Several vegetarian options are available, including empanaditas and the signature corn soufflé, which I ordered with avocado and my husband ordered with carnitas. Highly recommend.

The cornbread with chicken and carnitas was superb, a blend of sweet and savory. The organic salad was also very tasty. The staff was efficient, knowledgeable and pleasant. All and all a wonderful evening. We appreciated that we didn’t get the check until we asked for it. Did not feel rushed out like many restaurants.

It's one of the best spots in Condado. The food is delicious, and the staff is great. However, it's all about the food. 10 out of 10! We went there for dinner and went back for brunch. We highly recommend this place.
