Idk about during the day I'm sure it's different but BIG HUGE NO NO for the evening We tried the refried beans and the sopes tinga for appetizers very good not great but good don't have much to say but they served purpose and I wasn't mad about it I usually have a lot to say when food is excellent service was good can't lie !

My Husband and I are in Puerto Rico to celebrate our 40th anniversary…read more Besides Puerto Rican food we decided to try TomatePR because we love Mexican and the reviews were great. We were married in Zihuataneho Mexico, were spoiled with good Mexican food living in Chicago, and find after moving outside Nashville, we have craved better Mexican food, so we came here. Gina came to our table to make sure all was OK with wait staff, and food we were eating. Well, it was MORE than OK! Food was wonderful, made fresh, and all questions and requests were answered. She did make us feel like "old friends", and after a long incredible dinner, she offed us 2 tequila shots, and played our "special married song" for our special anniversary. We both had tears in our eyes as that was so special. She took photos for Facebook (but we do not belong) so we are hoping she texts them to my husband who gave her our number. Thank you Gina, all the people who took care of us. Please go there for an excellent meal, margaritas, and the best service. We are going to try to go back before this vacation ends. G&B

We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

For drinks I put a tajin rim around my tamarindo agua fresca. I would recommend the tamarindo if you like tamarind, the flavor is strong. Everything else was ok but I don't think I would come back. The queso wasn't a dip it was melted cheese with pico on top. Instead of picking up the cheese the chip would break because the queso was so thick. I believe the flautas could be made better with a sauce. The green sauce that came with the tacos tasted like an avocado smoothie. But all of the meat was seasoned well so that was a plus.

We almost came here by accident but we're glad we did. Lupe Reyes is what I'd consider a typical…read more"Tex-Mex" restaurant with the menu focusing on tacos and Fajita variations. Located in the "Districto T-Mobile" which was right next to the hotel we were staying at. Districtio T-Mobile is a restaurant and entertainment complex near the busy San Juan Convention Center. Lupe Reyes is one of I think seven restaurants in this complex. We and our friends arrived on a very busy Friday night and probably got the last table. After chips and salsa and a margarita or two we ordered our dinners. My wife had carnita tacos which she thought were excellent. My friend and I had steak and chicken fajitas. This dish had very nice chicken and strips of steak. I asked if the steak could be prepared on the medium rare side and it was. I feel it really added to the flavor. My friend's wife had shrimp tacos which she also enjoyed. It was almost as if we had a private waiter despite how busy the restaurant was. He always seemed to know when we need more salsa, napkins or refills or extra tortillas. For such a "tourist" area, I was really surprised at how good the food and service was. Prices were also acceptable. We looked at Yelp after we ate and weee surprised at the average ratings. We felt this was a pretty good place and would return.

One con, chicken breast wasn't fully cooked (really thick), but they did ask me if I wanted a substitute or cooked differently. Drinks beer/alcohol very reasonable.

Outstanding tacos--so good we went twice in one day!…read more This little taco spot near the JW Marriott in San Juan absolutely nailed it. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. We ordered the fish tacos and pork tacos, and both were outstanding--crispy, well-seasoned, and balanced with great toppings and sauces. The fish was light and flaky, the pork was tender and packed with flavor, and every bite felt thoughtful and authentic. Portions were just right, prices were fair, and the quality was consistent enough that we couldn't resist coming back again later the same day. If you're staying near the JW Marriott and craving tacos, don't overthink it--this place is a must. We'd happily go back a third time!
