After spending the day at the beach my Tia Lali said this place was her after work spot and had the…read morebest shrimp in Bayamón so we trusted her leading. Location/Service ***** Casita Martell is tucked away into a big hill, surrounded by flamboyan trees, and a beautiful view of the sunset! It looks smaller than it is, they have indoor and outdoor dining. Our server was really good, my children don't speak Spanish and our waiter spoke English so it was nice for them to communicate directly. Drinks *** We ordered pina coladas and sadly they did underwhelm a bit. I was expecting it to be a bit more icy and it was more creamy, the heat outside did not work well with a creamy drink. Food **** The plate food (bistek, pork chop, rice, beans) was to good, nothing over the top but not bad, just a good, flavorful meal. The octopus salad was also decent, nice flavor, but I don't think it was fresh, it tasted like the octopus you get out of a can. The shrimp . . . THE SHRIMP! Now those blew my mind! Absolute MUST order. The rellenos de papa were also super delicious! I wish I would've just ordered a tons of those! I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to PR to get some more!

This is a delicious establishment which you can just walk into and sit comfortably. The service was…read moregreat and the food was good! The vibe here is relaxed definitely recommend for some tasty comida boriqua ! Enjoy.

We came to El Jibarito for dinner after it was recommended by the Alpha as it had a 4-star rating…read more We did have a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. The restaurant is absolutely adorable inside and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Once we were seated, the service was quick and attentive. There were four of us in our party, and we started with the pizza turnovers. They were delicious, although I do wish they had a little more filling. I ordered the tamale. While it wasn't quite to my personal taste, I could tell it was well made and I'm sure others who enjoy that style of tamale would love it. My husband had the baked chicken and really liked it. My friend ordered the salmon and said it was moist and very flavorful, and her husband had the garlic chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, everyone in our group was happy with their meals. Between the cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food, I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're visiting Old San Juan.

Walked into a nice small local restaurant A/C is great in here after that walk to get here. The servers greeted us with a big beautiful welcoming smile which is always the best way to pull me in. Drinks- we got the mojito (classic) and the passion fruit margarita and they were both very nice. Drinks were mixed great where nothing was overwhelming the other. Beef turnover- nice and tasty. The beef was seasoned well with hints of herbal seasonings. It came with a little pepper sauce that wasn't just spicy but had like a sweet pepper and chives flavor as well. Baked pork ribs- got this with the white rice and beans. The beans was well seasoned and tasted really good. The rice was cooked well and with some salt where it's not too much but you can taste a hint of it with every bite. The pork was disappointingly dry. It had a nice flavor almost like smoked but too dry and hard. Fried snapper- this took the cake. It was cooked to perfection where it wasn't dry but soft and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It came with a nice tasting garlic sauce but honestly the sauce over powers the herbal flavor of the fish. Fried cod fish- this was a no no. It was fried like a chip but tasted like oil. There was no fish flavor at all.
