Hi! This is Elizabeth one of the owners of biribá. I’m really sorry that you had a bad experience and I promise it’s truly an anomaly. We’re very proud of the food we serve and the atmosphere and community we’ve created here. I’d just like to say that we are a very new restaurant. In fact, it says at the top of our menu that this is a soft opening and to please be patient with us. You’re also in the Caribbean where things run at a Caribbean pace and we put a lot of time and effort into homemade time consuming dishes. We do our best to get them out as quickly as possible. I’d suggest looking more into pura vida. In February there was a water shortage in all of town where the municipality shut off the city water. Many businesses in town had to close. Unfortunately due to our changing climate these kinds of events are happening more and more. Just part of the reason we are trying to promote a local plant based diet. Avocado toast quite literally is avocado on toast. Ours is on our friends locally made sourdough bread with sunflower, pumpkin, and hemp seeds, along with sprouts. The fish tacos are a crowd favorite and many people come back to order them many times in a row. You won’t find many restaurants outside of Mexico hand making tortillas and I don’t know of any in puerto that do. Although it’s something we’d love to strive for in the future. The fish tacos also come with a homemade vegan Tartar sauce, a coconut lime cabbage slaw, pineapple salsa, and pickled onions. As far as overpriced, the most expensive dish on our menu is $10.50 usd and most dishes are much less. We use many unique, local, and organic ingredients that take a lot of time to process and turn into beautiful food. We keep our prices as low as possible or while still compensating our farmers and staff a living wage. As I said, I truly am sorry that you had a negative experience and we’d love to comp you a free meal if you’d like to come back and try again (if you’re still in the area).
