    El Tommy Emparedado
    Gabriel M.

    A wonderful time was had here. Super friendly staff and great theme inside with nice decorations bringing good vibes to the experience. I got the Tommy sandwich and my gf got the quiche. Both were delicious especially the sandwich!! The Tommy is a MUST try. It comes with spanish seasoned home fries that are just as yummy. One of the guys also gave us free coco shots while we waited for our food. We absolutely loved it here.

    Bien rico! TODO estaba delicioso! Servicio fue muy bien me encantó! Y jugábamos jenga para esperar era muy divertido

    Avocado Tapas...absolutely delicious & healthy!

    I couldn't resist trying out El Huevo while vacationing New Year's Eve week, especially staying at the adjacent AirB&B. The dining atmosphere is vibrant & inviting, also provides a small patio seating area. Menu is perfectly laid out, easy to read, very detailed. I usually try to order healthy meals in restaurants, so selections were plentiful. After seeing what another customer was having , I decided to try the Avocado Tapas. Perfectly prepared, light, yet tasty with all kinds of flavors. Service level is a bit slow. But after my second day in San Juan, I've noticed it's the norm here. After waiting 30 minutes, you'll realize waiting is worth the freshness & wonderful meal. Sometimes you cant rush quality! The other feedback is " No Iced Tea " on the menu. My brunch meal would have been more satisfying if I had iced tea with lemon. I had orange juice inside. Still yet, it was a pleasant dining meal. I will definitely be back!

    Super adorable place to have breakfast in Santurce, near Sagrado Corazón! Delicious egg dishes -- really fabulous! And you have to try the garlicky salty potatoes! Sweet staff!

    We were staying in PR for a couple of days prior to our cruise. We ate here one morning. We walked from our Airbnb. The place is IG ready with neat art on the walls. Our service was friendly and helpful but I have to mention it took about an hour to get our food. We were not in a hurry so this didn't bother us. However, I would not recommend this place if you're short on time. The food and drinks were both delicious. We had the green "burger" and wow was it yummy. I'd def go back.

    I've had this spot on my radar for a while. We finally got a chance to go last weekend. Was not disappointed. From the ambiance to the service to the food was nice. It's s a cool spot for brunch. I liked the hip decor. Reminded me of some places when I lived in LA. We arrived early on a Sunday. There weren't a lot of guests. We were greeted right away and shown to a table. It was a high table and we asked if we could have a low one because our 5 year old was uncomfortable. They had no problems accommodating us. Our server was nice and helpful. There was a guy behind d the counter who was very friendly. Overall, all the staff we engaged with were nice. Top things off, the food was also a hit. There were so many interesting choices that I had difficulty deciding. I took to Instagram to check out some photos of the food, per our server's suggestion. I decided to go with the El Huevo sandwich. It's basically an egg salad sandwich. It was excellent. In addition to the egg salad there is a boiled egg in the center it in half. It makes for a nice pic. The sandwich came with a side of potatoes, which were good. My wife's Asian pulled pork tacos were good. Our son as usual went with French Toast. Normally the French Toast has a granola breading but we asked for them to not bread it thinking our son might not like it. Again, not problem for them. Our son liked his dish. He wasn't crazy about the fruit with his French toast. I ate them. Overall, a great brunch. Will be coming back. FYI, street parking only.

    I had the matcha and granola french toast and it was absolutely amazing!!! Everything was so delicious truly 10/10 food. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the staff was so friendly and nice. The owner even recommended to us places to visit in PR. Definitely recommend!!!

    Loved it. The service was pleasant and friendly. The vibe was very cool and hipster. I loved the egg painted on the outside of the restaurant. Kid friendly with cards and board games. The food was delicious. My Asian Pulled Pork tacos weren't the best but they were good. My husband's egg salad sandwich however was incredible. One of the best egg salad sandwiches I've had. And the potatoes that came with it were the best. Our son's French toast was also good. The mimosa was good too. We are definitely coming back.

    The Oscar burger was amazing best I've ever had!!!

    Literally a hole in the wall kind of place but worth it as far as the coffee goes service was friendly. Great place to visit with an ambiance feel, air conditioned and well maintained! Definitely recommend it .also ate lunch here and I definite do not regret it, MUST TRY!!!!

    Oscar burger

    Super amazing food, the potatoes holy!!! I had gotten the Oscar burger and it was huge! I believe the owner was there with her son and they were super sweet and helpful. Recommend it highly!

We sat down for dinner at 7:45 and did not receive our drinks until 8:20, even though we put in our order as soon as we sat down... and asked politely how much longer until our drinks would come out... twice. Food did not come out for an hour and half, it was cold by the time we got it. Mac and cheese is not great cold. The ribs are extremely overcooked and like eating beef jerky. Drinks were okay, but by the time we got them everyone's cocktails were watered down, as well as the soft drinks. The ambiance was not great either since everyone around us was visibly frustrated by the wait times and lack of service, a table across flagged the waitress multiple times to ask where their stuff was. The food was decent, but again, cold. The wait times were no joke. We wrapped up our 7:45 dinner around 10, simply because of how long it took to be served. Our waitress came to our table maybe 3 times total, we would have to stand and find her to figure out where our food/drinks were. They were also out of a good majority of items on the menu when we tried to order them. Overall I unfortunately don't recommend! Price, service, and food are not great.

I was so excited because I'd heard so many great things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Be aware that this is a very small restaurant with only about 15-20 seats, so it fills up quickly. We arrived with no wait, but by the time we were eating, there was already a long line outside. Also, if you're in a hurry, this may not be the best choice. Everything is made fresh from scratch, so the food does take a while to come out. Service is definitely on island time, but once the food arrives, you'll understand why--it's well worth the wait. I ordered the California Surfer wrap, and wow...it was absolutely amazing! Everyone in our group raved about their meals, and the fresh-squeezed orange juice was out of this world. I'm honestly sad we only made it here once during our week in Puerto Rico. I would absolutely come back again and highly recommend Pinky's to anyone looking for a fresh, delicious breakfast. Just come with a little patience--you'll be rewarded with an outstanding meal

Everything we ordered was very good, and on an extremely hot day, I was especially appreciative of how well the A/C was keeping up. I was actually a little cold--and I'm never cold. It felt so nice after getting overheated right before we got there. One thing I noticed while wandering around Old San Juan is that some restaurants likely survive on location and foot traffic alone, while others earn people seeking them out. Semilla definitely felt like the latter. It's tucked just around the corner from some of the busiest pedestrian areas, so it felt like we escaped the crowds for a little while without actually going very far. Overall, I'd happily come back. If you're staying nearby and looking for a good meal without being surrounded by the busiest tourist crowds, Semilla is well worth checking out.

This is global techniques blended with locally sourced Puerto Rican ingredients. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome. I was there to celebrate my birthday (a reservation is a must). I asked if I could be seated in a different section of the restaurant, and even though they were packed, they said absolutely and found me a lovely seat in the bar area. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I suffer from severe food allergies but wanted to experience their tasting menu. My server spoke to the chef directly and then took the time to walk me through every option. I TRULY appreciated that they did not take anything off the menu but rather told me how they could adjust for my allergies. That is very rare and so very much appreciated that they went that extra mile for me. I highly recommend the tasting menu. It's 5 courses and they give you 3 options to choose from, within each course. And for the price ($85), a great value. Everything was delicious but I highly recommend the Breadfruit Gnocchi, Rainbow Runner Crudo, and Criollo Duck Mofongo. Chefs kiss! What I also noticed was, even though they were insanely busy, they didn't make you feel rushed. The invited you to savor the experience - which I did. Next time you are in San Juan, make a reservation and go. You won't be disappointed!

Everything else was very well done. The two of us split one order of the five-course tasting menu plus an additional starter, and it ended up being a nice light meal. Had we each ordered our own tasting menu, it would have been far more food than we wanted...something we found to be a fairly common theme with portion sizes throughout Puerto Rico. The standout of the evening was the Criollo Duck Mofongo, which was absolutely exquisite and easily the best mofongo we had on our trip by far. The cocktails were tasty and unique, but a bit small for the price. This definitely isn't an every-night kind of restaurant...the prices are on the higher side. But if you're looking to splurge a little, it's a fun place to do it.
