This is one of the best Spanish restaurants in San Juan. I really like their braised meats and…read moresauces. The appetizers are also delicious. My favorites are the octopus, croquetas de bacalao, and the corned beef alcapurrias. They also make the best flan de manchego (manchego cheese custard). I've heard the fideua is also excellent. Unfortunately, they were out of it last time we went. I instead went with the chuletillas de cordero. They were good but dry. It felt like I was eating carne frita. My husband's Iberian Pork Osobuco was awesome. Love those braised meats. The restaurant has undergone a nice makeover. New rug, new paintjob. Lots of colorful paintings on the wall.This is a nice place for a date. It is also kid friendly. The chef/owner is very nice. He is always on the floor greeting customers and taking their orders. Service is overall good, but there aren't many servers so it can get slow at times. Overall, this is a great restaurant. It can can cold so bring a jacket or sweater.

Seriously? After waiting all that time, I finally got my food and the order was wrong. On top of that, the food was overly salty. Yo soy boricua, but does everyone on the island heavily salt their food? Because never in my life have I had white rice from a legit, authentic Puerto Rican restaurant that was that salty This place was honestly a one-and-done for me. After hearing people hype it up and claim it was one of the best, the experience was a major disappointment.

I visited Basilisa while on a weeklong trip with a few friends, and we randomly stumbled upon Basilisa in our Google / Yelp hunt our first evening in town. We came in with a fairly large group (~15 people), but they did a phenomenal job accommodating us. We were seated at a large table in the back of the restaurant, where we had a great view of the rest of the place while still being a bit cordoned off from the rest of the guests. With our server's guidance, we got a few bottles of wine (mostly red, a few whites) and a variety of tapas -- effectively the entire menu. Every single plate was incredible, but a few of my favorites included the croquetas, tortilla espagnola, patatas bravas, and paella de mariscos. The croquetas and patatas were delightfully crispy on the outside with a soft interior that just melted in your mouth (either because it was literally melted cheese or the softest, most tender potato), and the tortilla espagnola and paella were both incredibly flavorful.

There is seemingly a wait on most nights...especially during peak dinner (6pm - 7:30pm) hours. Visiting during the week, or a bit later in the night may decrease wait times.

We were a large group, so there was about a 30-minute wait for a table, but that's part of the fonda-style experience. Tables turn over as people finish their meals, and while you're waiting, you can relax with an ice-cold Medalla, which makes the time go by quickly. A special thank you to the staff for the excellent service and warm hospitality. The food, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff made this one of our favorite dining experiences in Old San Juan. We will definitely be back!

The good thing first- the line goes through fairly quickly considering how busy they were the day I was there, Sunday July 19, 2026, and parking was plentiful. Service was fine, cleanliness was good. The bad. Way overpriced for this region. There are plenty of bakeries in Puerto Rico offering the same things at half the price. The worst. The food quality sucked. Jugo de China Natural usually means squeezed to order. It was squeezed ahead of time and served with ice without being asked. Fresh squeezed orange juice is best served room temp. A good one will still be a little foamy on the top with very low acidity Ham and Cheese on Mayorca Bread- a staple of PR breakfast. Traditionally served pressed with a little powdered sugar on top that caramelizes a little because of the pressing. This one had a ton of floury tasting powdered sugar on the top and bottom of the top and inside the top and bottom of the bread, not normal at all. And for whatever reason, mine was served with the insides of the bread out side but I saw others that weren't served that way. So strange. And the ham was oddly pale. Also, no knives or forks to be found, so the extra sugar was extra confusing Quesitos- I ordered 4 to take out. I should not have. They went straight to the trash. The dough was severely under baked and soggy yet the filling was dry and crumbly without barely any sugar on top to offset the cream cheese. Arroz con Dulce- overly sweet and watery. Also went straight to the trash. Should be a little thicker from the starch of the rice combining with the sweet milk as it cooks. It tasted like they cooked the rice separately and then added cinnamon, evaporated milk and a ton of sugar without heating it. Not even a hint of vanilla to be found. For $44 dollars before tip. It was straight disrespectful to tourists and locals alike. I hope they improve because there is nothing worst than a popular spot resting on the laurels of a good location PS- The Habichuelas Escabeche were good.

The Bruma de la Montaña and Funky Fashion were also very refreshing and tasty. The longaniza pastelillos were excellent and the buñuelos de malanga were good. The rice with rabbit is one of the most popular dishes. I thought it was good but a little overrated. I didn't like the dessert at all. The other big issue was the heat. We came for dinner. They sat us outside. My god it was so hot and humid. I was melting. Even the waitress was sweating heavily. I couldn't properly enjoy the food because I wanted to get out. Again, the food was good, and maybe if we'd been seated inside the experience would have been better, but for the price we paid it just didn't deliver.
