Puerto Rico: Metropol (July 2009)

My spouse and I ate dinner at Metropol in early July 2009. Metropol Restaurant was founded in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1965, by Jose (Pepe) Canosa, a cuban immigrant, who had moved to the Island the year before. His concept of good service at good prices, family ambience, and excellent Cuban and Puertorican food, was an "instant hit", winning the favor of the public, and leading him to open new establishments throughout the metropolitan area. Pepe was the creator of famous dishes such as, the well-known "gallinita rellena", the Montuno Cubano and Metropol Fried Rice. He was always innovating in his kitchen to satisfy his loyal customers, serving the best food at the best prices. This concept has been continued by his descendants, which now administrate the restaurants. You can visit our restaurants in Hato Rey, Isla Verde, Fajardo, Guaynabo, Barceloneta and Dorado, to enjoy a tasty menu in a cozy atmosphere. To all our clients, thanks so much for visiting us for more than four decades, and making us as one of your favorite places for dining. Our compromise is to always serve you with excellence, the best of our kitchen.
