La Casa del Chef
A long-running seafood and grill restaurant in Cuatro Calles, famous for red snapper and stuffed mofongo.
Located at 1307 Calle Fagot in the Cuatro Calles district of Ponce, the restaurant specializes in grilled meats and fresh daily seafood. Its wine list has more than 80 bottles, and it hosts private parties; locals often come here for group dinners. The menu has a dedicated section for stuffed mofongo (mofongo relleno), with fillings such as red snapper, conch and shrimp. It also offers whole fried red snapper, seafood rice and Creole-style lobster. The coconut pudding is well liked. Some recent reviews say the setting feels a bit dated and the food is not as good as before. It's about a 10-minute drive from the Old Town.
