Was Liz Gray at Cafe Central a mag?
I've been coming here for over 15 years and the food has consistently stayed the same. The servers are like family, they remember your name and order. I've never once had a bad meal. The flan is made in-house, the steak jibarito is fresh and not drenched in garlic, and the cafe con leche has just the right amount of sugar. The chuletas are delish, no huge chunks of fat like at other places. Everything is always fresh... View all feedback.

What Rachel E dislikes about Cafe Central:
Been coming here my whole life and it’s differently not like before. Food lacks flavor and everything was dry. After 15 plus years it’s time to give my PR restaurant a break till food gets better. Ponce is place to go if you want affordable and great food. View all feedback.

Traditional Puerto Rican food. Large portions so you get your money’s worth. The staff is friendly and mindful. The food is ok — recommend the Creole shrimp with Mofongo
