I ate there recently with a couple of friends and I have to say that the service that we received from a server called Dwight Maduro was absolutely perfect. For... read more example the way he approached the table, the way he stands and holds the tray and takes his orders very professional. He can work at any other and better restaurants on the island. The food was delicious and on time. One advice I can give the owners is that if they can hire more servers that can do the job like Dwight smile like him and that can speak english at least basic...This place will rock.

  We have been going to Don Jacintos for many years and have always enjoyed our meal. Last year the food was so so. We gave it another shot this year... read more and were very disapointed. My wife's steak was tough and my fish was just so so. Service isn't what it used to be. Oh well....

  The food was okay. Grilled meat with large portions but nothing special flavor wise. We ordered two entrees, but I think we could have just shared one. The service was... read more friendly and prompt.

  Don Jacintho is a must do when going for lunch. They have lunch specials which are a great deal. The service was great.

  The food was so amazing and the passion fruit cocktail was so good that you just want more.... we had Geraldine as our waitress and she made the night awesome... read more with her great energy and sales skills and great recommendations.

  Always have the most delicious Sangrias in Don Jacinto. The food is spectacular. They have amazing meat dishes as well as seafood. This week Marie took great care of us... read more on each visit. The tres leches desert is sabroso. Great place!

  No one we talked to cabbies, hotel personnel, other guests had been to this restaurant; made us a bit nervous. One comment was “that’s Colombian, isn’t it?” Yes... read more indeed it IS Colombian and well worth a visit. Not visited by many “tourists” by the looks we got when we arrived. Or maybe it was because we were a pair of octogenarians! Anyway, the reception was great, the tables and chairs a bit hard, but the warmth of the server, the quality of the drinks and food made up for the lack of sophisticated environment. It was truly authentic. My seafood ceviche was lovely and the red snapper (head on) was fantastic. The margaritas to start were fresh, tart and strong. The wine was a Pinot Gris and it was crisp, flowery and cold.

No, it was not on the water. No, it did not exude a great deal of wealthy encountrements, but the food, drinks and staff were incredible good. A great find.

  We went by the establishment just prior to it opening and the owner invited us in for a free cappucino and went over the menu with us.

You will enjoy yourself at this establishmeny.

  If you are not Colombian looking then visit Don Jacinto to get discriminated. First time entered this restaurant, nothing is asked besides “how many people”, while I had a online... read more reservation. We all sat on super uncomfortable chairs, 2 uneven tables were pushed to accomodate us plus we wait half hour and still no sign of a waiter I saw 2 groups entering some time after us and within 5 min the waiters were attending them, bringing water. We left and nobody was interested in the reason leaving, so they dont even are willing to improve! I was with kids, and any other restaurant in Aruba you get attended and welcomed at least with water which is for free!
