| - This is Puerto Rican food designed to appeal to the masses; it's not as seasoned, flavorful and dare I say, unhealthy, as "traditional" Puerto Rican food. Keep that in mind, but know that The Campus Grille does a great job of conforming to Berea's foodscape for the individual looking to dabble in Caribbean cuisine.
Restaurant is nice and clean. There's a pretty small menu and you can watch the cooks prepping ingredients while you wait. There are agua frescas and malta (in addition to other soft drinks) in a cooler- I recommend Malta.
Bf had pork, rice and beans and a salad while I had pork mofongo. The pork was pretty dry and lacked substantial seasoning, other than garlic. I was surprised there was no yellow rice (arroz y gandules) but instead white rice with pinto beans. The pintos were really good! I would go back to get those alone. Mofongo was decent, if not extremely garlicky due to the pork. I was disappointed that other rican food wasn't offered. Where's the empanadillas? The morcilla? The plantains? Other than some minor grievances, we enjoyed food and large portions, opting to take half home.
If I was in the area, I would go back for pinto beans. If you're looking to try out a new cuisine, I would give it a try.
