Getting to this restaurant was a little confusing for us. GPS send us to a dark alley. The restaurant is next to a shopping center and the closest store is the super Marshall. The dark long alley is a shortcut to the parking lot and the restaurant.
To enter the venue you have to be buzzed in.
The decor was very simple. No tablecloths. The floor like in a cafeteria. But then you look around and you see the walls decorated with crazy colorful paintings, at least two with Don Kichote .
The food and service was excellent. We had a glass of Merlot and Cabernet and their house wine was of good quality.
The food we ate was tasty and very well prepared . Filet mignon and a shrimp dish. For desert we both enjoyed two different types of flan.
The restaurant was a bit noisy. Simple hard surface resonate easily with noise created by some partrons, especially little children.

As we were seated, 3 waiters dressed all in black, stood by waiting to see how they could help. It could have been over done, but the level of service was perfect. There was always someone quickly available to attend to your every desire.
The wine list is actually pretty diverse and well chosen, broad without being overwrought. We were very happy with our choice of Montes Alpha to accompany our mains of beef medallions in wine sauce, and surf & turf. The tenderness and flavor of all of our meats were stupendous. I was thrilled to have a baked potato, rather than something fried or breaded. Overall, an excellent meal and evening.

We have been coming to Ponce for more than 10 years and the first restaurant we go to is La Casa Del Chef. The restaurant is not fancy but the food is a delightful mix of local creations and some traditional dishes for the less adventurous.
If you go with a cheerful attitude and encourage the waiter to be creative in selecting your food you will assuredly leave with a smile and go back every time you visit Ponce.

Good food, but getting to the restaurant is a challenge. The service is very good, and after ordering they gone you garlic bread. Our order consisted of Italian style breaded steak with mashed potatoes, fried pork, white rice and black beans. The pork was very well seasoned and explodes in your mouth when you try it. The breaded steak was ok, the good thing was it wasn’t greasy.
All in all, depending on what you order, price’s were reasonable. More important, it was a good experience.

I had a very good impression of the restaurant as soon as I walked in. There were tables with families and couples, others with larger groups of friends. The atmosphere is inviting and the wait staff was very welcoming and quickly seated us. The menu consists of traditional Puerto Rican dishes prepared very well, and the prices were very reasonable. This will become one of my go-to places in Ponce.There is a separate bar as well that looked more casual, and offered the same menu.

The restaurant La Casa del Chef is located in a shopping mall area. We went there on Valentines day; although the place was really full - most tables with reservation - we got a table for 4 people. Food was excellent, nice Mofongo and excellent steaks, service attentive and friendly, and the wine list simply great with e.g. very good Rioja Reservas at affordable prices. We will come again to this place.

Home-style restaurant, simple and comfortable. The service was good. As for the food, it was one of the best dishes I tried in Ponce, although it is not a gastronomic experience beyond the ordinary.

We were not able to test the food. Local groups arrive and are prefered over new customers. Host lacked courtesy nor provide real alternatives for babies nor elderly.

The food was good. We chose something not in the menu and the fish was $50! The food is good but not for the price.

Nice meal. Good service. Little pricey for the quality. Water served in water bottles really is not a nice touch.
