La Hacienda Meat Center is a popular chain of gourmet groceries. They have a few stores in the San…read moreJuan area and one in Dorado. This store is located on Ave. Jesus T. Piñero, in the Altamira neighborhood of San Juan, off the PR-20. It is also known as La Hacienda de Altamira. It has a private parking lot with plenty of spaces. They have a few tables set up outside in front of the store. This is the most spacious of the Hacienda stores, making it comfortable to move around with a cart or stroller. Being a gourmet grocery, you will find pricier products here than at the average supermarket. Depending on what you want, the higher price may be worth it. I like coming here for fresher produce and ingredients I find difficult to find at the supermarket, such as real feta cheese. The meats here are excellent quality, as are their pre-marinated meats. This is an ideal place to buy snacks for a picnic or get together. They have delicious deli salads/dips. They also have a good selection of craft beer, mainly from Ocean Lab. Their baguettes are very good. They sell out quickly, so if you are lucky to get one nice and warm, you are in for a treat. This store has a Café Hacienda San Pedro inside for fresh and delicious coffee. You have to pay for the coffee at the cashier before placing your order with the barista (although if there is nobody in line, you can order and they'll prepare the coffee while you pay).

They sell a large selection of meats and cuts. We were waiting for 2.5" thick pork chops. The butchers called us to let us know when they got an adequate amount of pork in so that they could actually cut the pork chops that thick. They have various meats Including Wagu beef and dry aged. Aside from meats they sell pasta, cheese, veggies, fish, ice cream, beverages and a variety of spices and cooking liquids like honey, jam etc. I was happy to find cheese from yancey's which is a local cheese shop close to my family in Buffalo NY. Biggest confusion is the excessive styrofoam and plastic used here. The meats we selected were wrapped in paper with styrofoam. All of the prepackaged meat is nicely vacuum sealed with styrofoam inside of it. This makes 0 sense to me. I would be happy to buy the prepackaged vacuum sealed meat without styrofoam to sous vide it... it's such a waste and so bad for the environment of this beautiful island. There is no need for the styrofoam!!! Otherwise I recommend this shop if you're looking to spend a pretty penny on some meat.

I asked for hot sauce, and they gave a Puerto Rican brand hot sauce! Other restaurants will always offer me tobasco or siracha, which is fine. But I'm in Puerto Rico, and I want to try hot sauce brands from this place!

We had plans to get dinner after our coconuts but once we learned what this spot was all about we determined there was no longer a need to go anywhere else. Jonas Serrano is the beautiful mind behind Phyt NYC and has a gym in the same building. He also happens to sometimes be at the cafe ensuring guests with good vibes only are welcomed in. We had the entire space to ourselves on our last night on the island. It couldn't have been more perfect. The food was so good we ordered an extra plate to go for the plane ride the next day. BEST. IDEA. EVER. Thanks to Jonas I had a healthy, delicious meal to keep me satiated on my long haul home. And our last evening in Condado was perfect! After a stressful and busy workweek this was the ideal place to unwind. We had a lovely perch above the busy street below and enjoyed giving Junior (the adorable resident pup) lots of love. If you are a low-key visitor looking for a relaxing space and delicious meal look no further. Don't expect to be served if you are unruly or just looking for your next drink. This is not the place for all that. Have a seat, meet Junior, enjoy the breeze, and if you're lucky, learn a thing or two from Jonas!

They have plenty of options, but my group (6 people in total) decided to get a large pizza for the table. The pizza was really good and filling. It took a little while for the pizza to be brought to us, but honestly, it was worth it. The staff appeared to be nice. I noticed they had a wall of wine and also a bar area, so if you wanted cocktails or glass of wine, it's available to you.

No A/C, but it's about a 5 minute drive from el Conquistador, and after eating from their high-end restaurants and pricey (albeit delicious) food, some may want to unburden their wallet for a meal. This place is perfect for a simple breakfast without all the hubbub of a hefty price tag. For some reason they have some shelves of random things you can purchase, (though not entirely senseless since this is a tourist location) of items that include charcoal briquettes, Tylenol, Advil, etc. They even sell milk by the 1/2 gallons.

It definitely feels like a spot to bring a date or group. That was probably my only positive takeaway from this. The menu you came off inauthentic, fancy for fancy sake. Up until this point I ate restaurants that served up authentic Puerto Rican or Latino comfort food. This place felt like a derailment and left me disappointed and unsatisfied. Looking at the menu for one, I didn't see anything that appealed to me. Then some friends pointed out one of the dishes were ropa vieja. I was excited and thought the restaurant had redeemed itself. I thought I was getting ropa vieja with plantains. Instead I got something that resembled piononos and looked like it would leave me hungry. Still, I stayed open minded. I wanted to get piononos during my trip. Truth is, I forgot what I ordered. The food was alright but too salty. Probably the worst thing I had on my trip. I'm not saying it wasn't good because it was decent. I wouldn't order it or recommend it though unless you get an appetizer. Hell, people on my table wondered if it was an appetizer. I'm not the only one who ordered it. The other two who did enjoyed it but one would later admit he thought it was too salty. He didn't want to be a downer on what was already turning into a disappointing dinner. Speaking of, service was slow. I think we waited a hour for our food. It was getting everyone annoyed. One of my friends had ordered mussels alongside a risotto and got tired of waiting. He told them to just pack his mussels to go. At one point they brought another dish that no one ordered. It was meant for a different table. So yeah, it wasn't a great dinner. Needless to say I wouldn't come back here unless I was trying to impress someone.

Within walking distance to our condo. The ambiance was clean and we sat outside. The service was great and attentive. The place was empty at 6pm on a Wednesday night. We ordered fried chicken with fried plantains and fried pork with sweet plantains. I will say, the fried chicken was the best choice. The chicken was so crunchy yet juicy and moist inside. The fried plantains were also crispy yet fluffy. So good! The sweet plantains are always a hit and these wet so juicy and carmelized. As far as the fried pork goes, it wasn't my favorite. It came with onions but they were raw and in the picture, they were clearly grilled and had that light brown color so I was a bit disappointed with the strong flavor of raw onion. The pork was very crispy and flavorful but unfortunately, incredibly dry. We are from a state with a large Puerto Rican community so I have had this dish before and the pork is always dry. I wonder if it's just too difficult to get it more moist? But I would definitely come back for the chicken!
