Cozy spot in a hidden corner in Ponce with great prices and big quantities of food.
Pinas is one of those spots where it's so out of your way that you normally would not consider visiting.
But let me tell you that if you visit, it's worth it.
I had the fish filet with rice and beans and avocado 🥑, and it was superb. Normally, when places charge you for lunch they give you small quantities because the price is lower.
But not on Pinas. They give you a lot for $8 on lunch. Good quantities and low prices.
The atmosphere is really good too. It's nice, dark, and cool, contrary to outside where it's bright, hot, and the sun is kinda irritating 🌞
It's a little hard to get here, since the road is tight and far away (especially when you have a place like Café Lucero nearby) but I think it's worth it.
Overall a very respectable establishment with low prices, lots of food, and good shelter from the heat.

Found this place through Google Maps as the restaurant we usually visit when we go to Ponce had an event and couldn't acomodate our party. The place is not an upscale restaurant. Is more of a bar/restaurant place with a pool table, bar, high chairs, etc. The food was really really good. We ordered mofongo stuffed with churrasco, chuleta can can, churrasco with rice and beans, and a sampler plate. Sampler is really good with enough food for 5 people. Food was quick and service was great. Really good parking and very accesible facilities. 100% recommended.

The food is amazing here and at a great price! Location wise it's a bit secluded from what I saw. We are just passing through ponce and picked the closest thing to us. The lady that took our order also said she would be cooking the food. Not sure if she is the owner or part owner but it was amazing so my compliments to her for the amazing service! Se lo recomiendo a todos pasando por ponce!
Edit: Some reviewers are mad about long wait times. The food here is fresh unlike the u.s. You can tell by the taste and quality of the food. Don't expect speedy service because this isn't a fast food joint. Expect delicious food from this establisment! 1000% recommend to come here and wait patiently!
It looks like family owned place. Everyone was very polite and attentive. The food was delicious. You get free bottle of water with you food. Street parking.
Good place with good drinks. People came to play table pool and watch sports with confidence that it’s a secure place to be with your couple and friends. Good tapas with natural juice for the drinks are a great complement. The league of table pool was really good so be prepare to play with very talented people.
The best seasoning I have eaten in all of Ponce. Even though they don't have the best service, but for the food I always come back.
For lunch they have the best price with excellent flavor.
Lunch specials vary daily.

I google the place eat for dinner time, the steak wasn't the great with small portion not expect to pay for when I could go some where else to eat. The girl who work at the bar was very nice and attentive, great service.
