One of the most enjoyable things we did in Puerto Rico was our visit to the kooky amusement park near Arecibo called the Fun Valley Park. I guess it was in a valley and I'm pretty sure it was a park, but what I know without a doubt is that it was fun. Only thing that could have made it better was the café, which did make it better, both by price and quality.
Fun Valley Park is a family owned and operated amusement park where the staff are uncommonly friendly, the rides are perfectly fun and the people in charge are wholly responsible for making it the joy to visit that it is. It should come as little surprise then that the café is so spectacular as to deserve a whole, separate article just about how great it is.
The fried chicken is hand-battered, not bought ready to chuck into the fryer. The pizza has fresh-made dough, hand-tossed, with a private recipe for the sauce. Even the French fries are whole-cut, rather than the much-more-common reconstituted variety.
So now you should believe me when I say the food is good, so let's talk about the price. The chef salad is $1.50. A hot dog and medium drink meal is $2.25 as of our visit. The 7' pepperoni pizza is under $3.655. The 3-piece chicken with fries and a 16-0z drink is about $4.75. Show me values like this anywhere else in the first-world.
And if you're even less hungry than that, they've got juice boxes, fruit cups, candy, cookies, and far more than we expected… and let's face it, we've got some pretty high expectations around these parts.
Way we figure it, if you're going that way for the day spend your morning at Fun Valley Park, spend your easy-on-the-wallet lunch in their café and then decide if you're moving on for the afternoon or not. Either way, you won't be disappointed with the food and you'll be shocked by the value. We stuffed ourselves to the gills and came out at maybe $12 for the five of us. That's unbeatable anyhow you slice it…
Mmmmm, slice… that reminds me of the tasty pizza!
Above - Fried chicken, fries, fancied-up hot dogs and hand-tossed pizza all await you, and at prices you just can't believe.
