We felt a little underdressed in our hiking clothes, this would be a great place to dress up and have a dinner out. The service was amazing- and the food was 4/5. The empanadas were DELICIOUS- definitely the highlight of our lunch. The rest of the dishes were good- the fresh caught red snapper was deep fried- which took away the experience of it being fresh.

This was my first time visiting Viejo San Juan, and this was one of those legendary places I had…read moreheard about for years, going all the way back to when I was a little kid. On our most recent vacation, we finally had the chance to experience it for ourselves, and it did not disappoint. The moment you walk in, it feels like you have stepped back in time. The old school dining room is simple and no frills, with basic tables and chairs lined throughout the space, but that is exactly what gives the place so much character and authenticity. It feels like a true piece of old Puerto Rico. And then there is the food. Absolutely delicious, authentic, traditional Puerto Rican cooking. Our family shared the Bistec Encebollado, Carne Guisada, Chuletas Fritas, tostones, white rice and beans, and arroz con gandules. We started with Alcapurrias and Pastelillos de Carne, and everything was packed with flavor. The portions may be a little smaller than what some people are used to, but the prices are very reasonable, which makes it easy to order several dishes and share everything family style. For me, this was more than just a meal. It was finally getting to experience a place I had heard about for most of my life, surrounded by family and enjoying the kind of traditional Puerto Rican food I was hoping for. AMAZING! Definitely a must visit when you are in Viejo San Juan.

Wish we had eaten here at the beginning of our trip, so we could have gone a couple more times. The service was amazing, a lady came by with a couple different little plates with different food, so we can try, i've never eaten somewhere, where they did that. I didnt see if she was walking around doing this, or she just did it for us. Everything was amazing and it was a hard choice to narrow down and decide what to order. I decided on the carne guisada, which is basically beef stew it came with rice and beans, chefs kiss!!! AMAZING flavor, the meat was so tender. Everything else everyone ordered was so good, hands down the best food we ate on our whole vacation, and we ate great food! The restaurant felt like you were eating at your tias house, beautiful decor, service was amazing it felt like home. As we walked out I thanked the lady that brought us the food, she stopped me and gave me the biggest hug as if she had known me a lifetime.

I ordered the Churrasco House Roll, Chicken Fried Dumplings, Bichiyal Roll, and a frappe--and everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were unique, fresh, and beautifully presented. The menu has so many creative options that I honestly wish I could try them all in one sitting. The live music added such a lively and enjoyable atmosphere, making the experience even better. Our server was also so phenomenal , upon arrival everyone was very friendly. Whether you're local or just visiting Puerto Rico, this spot is a must-try. Can't wait to come back!

The arepa was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the pernil was very flavorful but not overly salty, and the lemonade was perfect (tasty with just the right amount of sweetness and tang). I would absolutely recommend the place to anyone driving by. The owner/chef is Venezuelan, and the place has been around for 3 years. They have a selection of vegan arepas as well, so it is vegetarian/vegan friendly.

The ambiance is very beach and had club/lounge music, which was good and not too loud. This place was filled with locals on their lunch hour and tourists. The restaurant has a right on the beach so it's a great location for beach time and a nice lunch under shade. The food was good. Huge portions so definitely shareable. We ordered the creamy lobster bisque, pineapple rice with shrimp, a beef empanada, which was so yummy, the pork loin medallions stuff with ground beef picadillo, and a side of maduros. The lobster bisque was good but with noting that it's made with pimento cheese. It's more cheesy than creamy. Definitely recommend, can be pricey depending on what you get, so sharing is ideal. Enjoy!

Once we hit the door, a host informed us it would be about a 15 minute wait to be seated and about 45-60mins for our food to come out.

Our server welcomed us and reminded us what the host had informed us and suggested we get appetizers to hold us over a bit. Drinks came out and were very good (mojitos) and our appetizer of the octopus salad. Now when our meals came out and we each tasted what we ordered, we were in heaven and eating from each others plates. This was a must go to spot for good food.
