Octopus Rellenas Fresh octopus slices cooked and served ceviche style with white onions and red peppers stuffed into an empanada like crust - great opening choice. Churrasco skirt steak with rice and pineapple (off menu special) amazing dish with rice so deep in fresh sweet pineapple with bits of medium rare skirt steak. Works like a charm for leftovers too. Mango Fresca Sweet but very refreshing on a normal hot day. Compared to many of the fried-focused kiosks, this is a hands down winner if you're looking for quality food and service. That's all.

The crab salad taste like imitation but it was still pretty good. I wanted a piece of birthday cake to take home and eat in peace but they only had molten cake. I opted for the fried cheesecake.

We came here for food based on Reddit recs haha. Glad we chose this place! The food was pretty…read moregood, and we loved the energy and the live band here... but what really set this place apart was how friendly the staff was! When we arrived, the main room was packed, and the few open tables were reserved. The host asked us if we'd be okay sitting in another room. I explained that we're visiting, and we wouldn't mind waiting for a table to open up where the live band section is. Upon hearing this, they were nice enough to accommodate us and make it happen. Special shoutout to our server! Unfortunately, I forget her name (it's been a month), but I remember she had this AMAZING makeup on, with lots of colorful beads in beautiful patterns across her face, as well as lovely hands with really fun nails and rings. She was so lovely and friendly, and she really made our night! If you see this, thank you :)

It's the kind of place you don't want to leave! Parking can be a bit challenging, so make sure to arrive early and give yourself time to find a spot--it's absolutely worth it. The staff was fantastic--friendly, courteous, and able to handle our large group without any issues. We ordered a variety of dishes to try as much as possible, and everything was delicious. Some of our favorites included: * Mofongo with shrimp * Alcapurrias * Shark bites (a must--especially if it's been a while since you've had them!) And don't skip the drinks--they definitely deliver: * Long Island Iced Tea * Margaritas * Mojitos Great food, great vibes, and a great experience overall. Definitely a place you have to visit!

As soon as we arrived, we saw that they had a very large variety of different wines, which was cool, and a pretty nice menu offering all different types of Caribbean food! We went with our favorites, which were empanadas, rice and beans and mofongo! Service was great, and everyone was really friendly! Highly recommend!

Every bite feels balanced and worth it. Be ready to wait. The food takes a while to come out. Plan for it and don't come starving. That said, the tacos make up for it. You'll forget the wait once you start eating. Also plan for the setup. There isn't much shade during the day, so think ahead if you're coming earlier. Bring what you need or come at a better time. We went at night, and it was perfect. The atmosphere felt calm and easy, with a great breeze and a relaxed vibe. Sit back, take your time, and enjoy it.

The restaurant has the ambiance of a small town PR restaurant that you would find tucked away in…read morethe country roads of the island, with the long shared tables and the decorations. The wait was usual for Old San Juan. About 30-45mins. They take your name down and call you when there's a table ready. What they don't tell you is that the menu is a QR code on the table. Once you figure that you see a well organized and simple 2 pages menu with many PR authentic dishes listed. The waiter comes about 10-15mins later. And it's best to have all your order ready as they don't come back very often. The place is usually packed all the hours that they're open. Food: that's why they lost a star. Rice and beans, Madurai/amarrillos, scurrilous, delicious 5 stars, but the bigger, empanada, chicken with garlic lack the bite that you come to expect of PR food! They lack taste, "Sazon", they were bland and tasted more like someone forgot to season them and forgot the garlic. I'd tell them to go back to their food and make PR food like it's supposed to taste, not for the tourist, please!

We arrived at 11am on a Monday because that's when we thought they opened. They actually opened at 11:30am, so we were 2nd in line at 11am. Once 11:30am rolled around, the line was very long. It's an old house that was transformed into a restaurant. It's pretty big in there and they have an upstairs as well. It really feels like you're eating in a Caribbean home, from the colorful tablecloth to the things on the tables. The menu is on a board, and they have a Spanish and English version. They give you a cup of complimentary plantain soup which was amazing. We also ordered the fried cheese app which came with a delicious guava sauce. For mains, I had the fried pork with tostones and my husband had the mamposteado (corned beef, fried eggs, and rice). My husband cleaned his plate, while I took leftovers back to the hotel (which we actually ate later because it was that good). They were out of tres leches that day, so we had the coconut pudding for dessert. It was my first time trying coconut pudding and it did not disappoint! For drinks, we had the passionfruit sangria. When we left, there was a very long line outside. Despite the line, they did not rush us out. Definitely recommend and would go out of my way to come back next time I'm in PR.

First of all, it's super pricey but I guess that's being a tourist trap here. But I could excuse it since we're on vacation, but it was completely inedible! The food was cold and hard from probably sitting around all day. There was hardly any meat inside while just tasting like some crunchy hard piece of oil batter. Save yourself and skip this place.

I got a mojito and it was super strong. It's a little dingy inside but it was fine. They had some of the best looking frituras we had seen so it was worth it.

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!
