Been there a couple of times. The food is great. The tortilla soup is maybe the better thing of the place

Great spot for dinner. We were looking for a change of pace for dinner while in San Juan for a…read moreholiday weekend and decided to stop in for dinner. The server was accommodating and got us a seat for our party of 4 very quickly. I believe it was a one man show that night and he was running between all the tables, but was very efficient and had a great attitude which made any waiting we might've had to do worth while. The inside was clean and had a good vibe with nice music playing. Our table shared as an appetizer the green chile ceviche, which was very good and could itself be enough for a main meal for two people. My wife got the quesa-birria tacos and I got the governor shrimp tacos. All were great meal choices, the tacos were stuffed with meat and very filling. A great spot for people looking for some tasty Mexican food in San Juan.

Entramos por casualidad, pero quedamos encantados!! El sazón de la comida estaba bien rica, creo…read moreque cualquier mexicano estaría feliz aquí. Ordenamos las tostadas de camarones (mi plato favorito), tacos de pescado, y los frijoles. Todo estaba sabroso. Las porciones y el precio eran muy razonables. El lugar no tiene mucho espacio, pero atienden bien rápido. Solo que los asientos son muy altos, así que no lo recomiendo para familias con niños chiquitos. Great food! Recommend the shrimp tostadas. The order of beans was also good, reminded me of my childhood meals lol. Space is tight, but you'll get seated quickly as the staff are pretty attentive. Prices are pretty reasonable and the portions are fair.

Every single dish was excellent, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. If you're looking for great Mexican food in Old San Juan, La Madre is definitely worth a visit.

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.

This place is kinda spartan, first-come, outside , but mostly under a covering, tables. It is among…read morefast food restaurant chains in this hood, but this is an interesting original. 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.

The atmosphere is really great with chill, welcoming vibes. Service staff is friendly and…read moreattentive. The Baja fish tacos are amazing. Fresh and crispy, delightful. Get them.
