    Chicken breast w/rice and beans
    Jose H.

    Good service, nice out door seating which is all about this place name "Airelibre". Food portions, price and quality are pretty acceptable. Nice for a group hangout thing or just with you couple. Nice music as well. For those who like alcohol options, this would also be your spot as well.

    So I was lookin for authentic food in PR. Randomly found this place on Google. Now I go here all the time when visiting my fave island. Food is sooooooo good and great price/portion. The mojitos are also BOMB.com I recommend the whole fried fish, skirt steak and fried pork belly (chuletta I think its called) the mofungo and rice and beans be sooo good. Also that flan to end ur meal mmmmmmmm They be having karaoke here which is fun. Also walking distance to la placita. This place is in the cuts by the freeway and a strip club. You may feel scared bc it do look sketch on the outside but its a neighborhood spot. So its coo and you get used to it. Everyone eating there is always local you never see tourists. TIP: its hot but i recommend covering up or wearing bug spray. I was attacked by mosquitoes the first time I was there so now I always make sure to wear big spray. A must try when in San Juan. Starve for the day and then go here for dinner. Oh sometimes a wait for food. Bc they be busy at night.

    Fun open air restaurant in the periferia of Condado. Tourists will have a hard time finding it but locals know where the good stuff is. Valet parking most of the time on weekends. Kind of a joint but fun.

    This is probably the best food I've had in Puerto Rico! They had a $14 fillet minion special and the Mofongo Relleno de Pollo was unreal. Make the trek over here!

    Love this hidden gastronomic gem. I am a local and go frequently because of the great ambiance, and fresh air which gives you a relaxed Sunday afternoon feeling. The food is so great! Delicious, big portions and low prices keep me coming back. The service is good and everyone is quick. The sangria is also pretty awesome!

    Mofongo con ajo y pichuga. It was Delicious, i do not regret!

    Wepa wepa! From Groceries to turning up, this is your spot! I was researching spots to celebrate…read morefor New Year's, this was one of the spots that showed up. AMBIANCE You're in the city so it's an eventful area. There's street parking and nearby lots but your best to carpool or rideshare. As for the vibes, I'm told in the daytime it's a local marketplace that's filled with vendors and other fresh produce booths. It's pretty chill with a nice neighborhood feel. As for the evening, this is where to turn up and get a pulse of Puerto Rico parties. EXPERIENCE Go to your bar, pick your vibe from community, club excessive, lounge feel, live music or etc. Drink choices rangeThey have it here! Plenty of photo op spots and good energy. I was here peak of the #DTMF era so it was magical to see people come together with a speaker and a cowbell. A local put into perspective how this was way better than paying for an expensive hotel party. It was truly a 1 of 1 experience. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. It doesn't get any better. There's a reason why this space is dropped in lyrics and people's recommendations because this is the heart of the people. So don't be shy! Grab a drink, walk around, catch a dance, and be safe! TIPS: * Don't just settle for one spot. Be sure to explore around to experience the entire Santurce experience!

    Review #1,047 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came to La Placita on Thursday the 23rd, when in town to celebrate my buddies 50th birthday. I guess this was purposefully done as I've heard it's nuts here on Fridays & Saturdays. When you get dropped off at the main road when you walk down it takes you to all the action in a few hundred feet. This place was still packed, but it was popping, the place to be at night I'd guess. They've got all JJ da of restaurants, bars, & clubs here. Tons of music, & a good time.

You won't get that in the tourist areas. I went on a Friday night and there were people everywhere. On the sidewalk and on the streets. I don't even know how cars managed to make it through, there were so many people. There was loud music but I don't remember if it was coming from this club or the open air club across the street... It all bleeds together after a while. This spot is less of a club and more of a local hangout spot. Not really much dancing going on... Just drinking, talking, laughing, and catching up with friends. Not quite a "chill" vibe, but much more chill than some of the surrounding venues. Perfect for enjoying a few beers or cocktails, people watching, and unwinding after a long week, or a long flight.

This whole area is basically a party in the streets, with dozens of people hanging out with loud music blasting. It is almost like La Placita-lite. It's a fun time, and Watusi seems to be the epicenter of the action. We had a reasonably price Don Q Coconut and a beer and wandered around to enjoy the tropical weather and fun vibes. Bonus points for the wutang logo above the door.
