    Hola amor
    Allison M.

    Cute little place with an open and inviting entrance. Easy to miss on the street but with a stop over. Very kind owner who continued to update me as I was waiting to order and waiting for my food (it was pretty busy in the morning and he was one of two working). He was also personable and silly. They had empanadas of varying flavors. I liked this place way better than the one across the street (mavi- it was pretty good too but the flavor here was better) and it was a little bit more affordable . Got a chickpea one that was a delight. Clean and with a bathroom. Some daily specials. I also got a breakfast Sammy here which was standard but welcomed after a run.

    Stopped in here for a quick, cold, refreshing drink and it was exactly what we needed. Super kind owner/server. Great spot to drop in to get a quick drink and escape the heat outside!

    Love Al Fredo's! Amazing, A-Mazing Pina Coladas! I traveled around this whole island, literally, and my favorite pina colada is from this shop! It is the perfect amount of sweet and rum. I would suggest to go with the 151 "topper." It is delicious. Just pick one up as you are headed into town as a "traveler" to go with you. Also love the empanadas and great breakfast! Thank you Al Fredo! We will be back to see you again!

    I got one beef and sweet plantain empanada and one chicken. They both were amazing and only $8 total. The shop is small but air conditioned. This spot is great and easy on your wallet. The food is very flavorful. I don't like spice and the sauce for the empanadas had a little kick to it. Despite this, I finished it all. It was tasteful.

    Al Fredo on Calle de San Francisco in San Juan is a great place to go for delicious empanadas, drinks, and much more. I like the location and atmosphere that they have available here and being able to get in and out with what you want. Good experience coming here.

    Great spot for a quick breakfast/lunch/snack! Empanadas are ready and have various filling selections, great made to order sandwiches, and wraps! Wish I had checked it out earlier in my trip. Very well priced, compared to what is in the immediate area.

    Delicious beef and plantain empanada. Pina coladas looked refreshing and were a good price. Fast and friendly service.

    Walking through Christiansted and realized that there's a new business in town. It's Captain Dogs…read moreChili Dogs. This place just opened up in October 21, 2023 and they are owned by a kind couple. The inside still retains the presence of the buildings historic brick structure with the use of coral. There are a few tables for seating and also bar-seating. I liked that they have a section of their wall dedicated as a signboard. It was fun to leave my brand @eatingstcroix . There's a bathroom in the back and it's clean. But unfortunately there's no WiFi and signal declines when inside (I dropped to 1-2 bars) I liked that they have a variety of beef hotdogs, as well as vegan options. They also have seasoned fries & chili. I'm not particularly a fan of hotdogs, but I ordered a pizza dog and added bacon & pepperoni. It wasn't half bad and had a nice size. You can have chili fries too or customize your orders. I heard that they make a delicious vegan Mac & Cheese on special days and they also had some pastries in stock. But their shining star on the menu was their passion fruit cheesecake! They had mango too, but the passion fruit was so phenomenal!! I'll go back just for this!! I cannot recommend it enough! Overall, this is a nice addition to the town dining scene that allows for a quick bite and their hours are pretty late too and that helps if trying to sober up while walking around

    Vianca made me a fan for life…read more We arrived really late after our flight and were scrambling to find somewhere to eat. St. Germain Bistro Bar happened to be right across from our Airbnb, and honestly it felt like we got lucky. Even though it was late, they seated us right away and helped us pull together two small tables so our family could sit comfortably. My kids were starving, so that alone was a huge relief. The portions for the kids' pasta and chicken nuggets were a little smaller than expected, but the flavor and quality were excellent. You could tell the food was made with care. I ordered the onion soup and the fried cheese with guava dip and wow. Absolutely delicious. The guava dip especially was incredible. I also had a mojito that was perfectly made. But what really made the night unforgettable was the kindness of the staff. My son had forgotten his inhaler and was having a hard time adjusting to the humidity. He was coughing a lot and clearly uncomfortable. Vianca noticed right away and went out of her way to help. She brought over honey and encouraged him to take a little shot with ginger and honey, then brought hot tea as well. She even suggested things like putting socks on him and using Vicks when we got back. When I mentioned that my kids are half Puerto Rican and their abuela already swears by those remedies, she just lit up and said, "Well you're home then, you already know what to do." That moment really stuck with me. The warmth, the care for kids, the genuine hospitality. It's exactly the kind of Puerto Rican kindness people talk about. The kitchen is small, so service can be a little slower, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The food is great, the drinks are great, and the people make the place special. If you're nearby, definitely stop in. Places like this are why people fall in love with Puerto Rico.

    Does NOT honor reservations. We reserved a table, and then watched another group of young men step…read moreinto the store and sit down at the table we had been promised. The hostess refused to kick them out. I overheard the group behind us who had made a reservation also be denied. After finally being seated, it took over an hour to get our food. The poulet was very good, but the bread we ordered was smeared with a red sauce where it been cut with an obviously dirty knife. At the end of the night, they gave us a free piece of cake on the house, which is the only reason why this review isn't one star. Also, our waitress was really nice and friendly, which raised the mood of the evening considerably. Other than that, though, I'm afraid I can't recommend this restaurant.
