I especially appreciated that I never had to ask for beverage refills, even for drinks that required payment. The food was a mix of hits and misses. The Margherita pizza was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and definitely something I would order again. On the other hand, the lettuce tacos were underwhelming. They contained very little chicken, making the dish feel incomplete and not very satisfying. To end the meal, we ordered the tower chocolate cake, and it was absolutely delightful. It was the perfect dessert and a great way to finish the evening. Another highlight was the checkout process. Our check was brought promptly, and the payment process was incredibly fast, making for a smooth and efficient end to the meal. Overall, it was a very good experience with excellent service, great pizza and dessert, and efficient hospitality. I'd definitely come back, though I'd skip the lettuce tacos next time.

This location is very spacious and large, and the kitchen mural was huge! We started with drinks, of course; the Paloma Rosa and Pineapple Moscow Mule, both of which were very good. I don't understand why they don't add the prices to the drink menu. Can someone explain? As for food, I had my favorite: the Santa Fe Salad, along with Chicken Taquitos, Chicken & Jalapeno Fritters, which they do not serve in NJ or NY, I believe, along with Avocado Eggrolls, which our server suggested. Everything was good! The staff were very friendly and the food was promptly served. Overall, had a great time and would drop by again if I visited PR!

Luckily, there was a gentleman outside directing people in, otherwise we may have walked right past it. Once you climb the two flights of stairs, you're rewarded with a beautiful dining space. The restaurant has a rustic, old-world charm with gorgeous décor and an Italian-inspired atmosphere. It immediately felt warm and inviting. There were four of us dining, and we started with two appetizers: the Setas Rellenas and the Chorizo al Vino. Both were excellent, but the Chorizo al Vino was my absolute favorite--absolutely delicious! For my entrée, I ordered the chicken lasagna. I expected chunks of chicken, but it was made with shredded chicken, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor was outstanding, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals of our trip. My husband ordered the beef lasagna, which was also made with shredded beef rather than traditional ground beef. He absolutely loved it. Our friends ordered the Milanesa de Berenjena and the Milanesa de Pollo with a side of gnocchi, and both raved about their meals as well. Since nearly every table seemed to be ordering pizza, we knew we had to try one. We ordered a small pizza for the table, and each of us had a slice. Now we understand why they're known for their pizza--it was fantastic! A special shoutout to our server, Rouil Rodz, who was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you. This restaurant is a hidden gem with a beautiful atmosphere, outstanding food, and excellent service. If you're visiting Old San Juan, I highly recommend adding it to your list.

While Lazy Jacks down the way plays basketball games and pumps US music, La Nasa is much more autentico. Locals gather here and they play classic Puerto Rican party jams. We grabbed some drinks (they have the seemingly ubiquitous Don Q Pina Coladas) and watched people dance some version of the salsa. The atmosphere felt a lot more like what we were looking for -- right on the beach, Spanish speaking only, something that's been around for locals forever. Beware the rickety stairs on the way down to the beach. We almost had serious injury there due to the one spinning step. And I'd skip the $1jello shots just on principle. We really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the really American focused bar down the way and this OG spot. Drop in here, grab a bev, enjoy the dark water and the big sky at night.

The local beer, Medalla, is $1.50. Or you can be brave and try one of the many tropical drinks listed on the board behind the bar. We got the "Biobay" for $6 each, and to me it tasted like $12 worth of booze (or at least that's was a super-boozy mix drink can cost in Chicago). We promptly spent our savings on the horse roulette game that everyone was playing. With a limit of two dollars per bet, your money won't run away too fast, and you might as well play because this is, quite literally, the only game in town. We were there a little early in the evening and saw a lot of people dancing the merengue. I'm guessing the dance floor only picks up as the night goes on. My friend commented that the glorious part of the establishment was that it felt more like a family place than a bar - old and young age groups were represented on the floor and on the tables out front. For me, this was definitely a highlight of my trip to Puerto Rico, and I plan to come back with my boyfriend soon to get on that dance floor.

I came mid day on Monday and it wasn't until 5 pm that it started getting busy which was nice. I didn't order food only drinks but they had a good variety of finger foods and special plates. I ordered their passion fruit Mojito, strawberry mojito and red sangria. The sangria tasted good and fresh but my passion fruit mojito was a bit sour so I was sad about that. Prices are okay just a bit higher than most places in the area. I paid $30 for the three drinks Overall I would come again but probably just one drink and keep "chinchorriando" lol (PR version of bar hopping)
