You'd get a text message reminder a day before the tour and they would ask if you have food restrictions or allergies. You'd also get a reminder where the meeting spot is. We met at Banco Popular, introduced ourselves and went our merry way to the 5 different food spots. Pablo ordered the food before hand so that when the group arrived at the different restaurants/places, the food was ready and we did not have to wait that long. Our first stop was Cafe Cuatro Sombras where we had coffee and croissant ham/provolone cheese/guava butter. I liked this croissant with a hint of tanginess/sweetness from the guava. Noncoffee drinkers had options of lemonade and tea. Second stop was Señor Paleta. There's no indoor seating here so we had the delicious parcha (passion fruit) popsicle. Yum! Very refreshing, great for this warm weather! Third stop was Cafe El Punto. This place has a lot of artwork by local artists. We had ceviche de pescado and alcapurrias de la casa which were nice. Fourth stop was El Patio de Sam where we "made" our own mofongo. We had fried plantains and garlic butter, mashed them in a mortar and pestle, and added the chicken before turning the mortar upside down to get the mofongo. This was flavorful and had more moisture compared to another mofongo we had. Last stop for dessert was Vaca Brava. We had flan which was nice. We enjoyed the food, the tour, and the conversations. Great experience here.

The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and Blessie (owner) and her daughter Andie were extremely welcoming to us and said some very kind words as we were currently experiencing an unexpected death in our family and thought a chocolate fix might make us feel a bit better. We got so much more than that. This family female owned and operated establishment sources everything from their locally owned farm. We will definitely be back and recommend anyone visiting the area to stop in and enjoy their wonderful drinks and desserts.

I tried the frozen hot chocolate, which was different than I expected. It was like a frappe, with little bits of dark chocolate mixed in. The dark chocolate bits made the drink kind of gritty, but it grew on me. The initial sip felt bitter, but once I was used to it, it started to feel like a a luxurious dessert. I also tried the lavender lemonade, which felt like a refreshing spa on a hot day. I would've loved to try the pastries as they all looked beautiful and delicious.

I called ahead to the production facility, and they were happy to accommodate my order there. They also sometimes accept orders via Ubereats. The production facility building on Calle Luisa is unassuming and you will need to call to be let in. Once inside, they explained their available flavors to me, allowed me to sample some chocolates (which were fantastic) and let me choose the flavors in my order. A 16-pc box and a 9-pc box were about $119, which is on-par with the cost of other high-end chocolates. I highly recommend the arroz con dulce flavor. It's unique and flavorful without being too sweet.

I've bought them at the grocery store for my mother over the years when I couldn't find Menier. I was hoping to see some unique desserts at Chocobar Cortés. Let's just say that the chocobar at this location was not what I was expecting. It's like an express version of their original one in Old San Juan. This is located in the lobby of the Condado Palm Hotel. There are 2 entrances. Don't make the same mistake we did by trying to access at street level. That door is locked. You'll need to enter through the hotel lobby. The service is very slow here. There was only one other person there. We ordered a box of 6 chocolates and payed for it. I'm guessing he was making a drink for the other guest because he asked us to wait a few minutes. It ended up being longer so he told his colleague (who just came back from a break) to make up the chocolate box for us. Unfortunately, it took even longer as this other guy was more interested in the 2 young girls who just walked in. The chocolate bonbons were good, but nothing unique. It's the same artisan chocolates that you see everywhere for the same high price. Perhaps this location is better for their specialty cocktails in the evening time. I was looking forward to trying the choco-latte at some point. I doubt there will be a next time.

My fiance and…read moreI visited Juana La Loca a few years ago because we absolutely loved the decor, but we were pleasantly surprised that the food and drinks were also amazing. Fast forward and we had a Welcome Reception for our destination wedding at Juana La Loca. Not only did George and his team exceed all of OUR expectations, several groups of our guests were so impressed by the food/drinks that they went back to the restaurant while in PR. I could go on and on about the food, the service, and the beauty of the restaurants but sometimes it's the little things that make a huge difference. For example, when I couldn't get a sign for the party made and shipped in time--George made it happen. Or when our guests wanted to turn the reception into karaoke--George/his team made it happen. I'm pretty sure George even greeted each of our guests himself. All in all, George and the Juana La Loca team exceeded all of our expectations!

Oversized chairs and fainting couches, portraits of nobility long perished, walls tattooed with what appeared to be centuries of age. ...And of course some Halloween decorations thrown in for good measure because 'tis the season. The bartender was really nice and very attentive. I grabbed a table closest to the bar so that I could watch the show. This was a unique take on brunch, for sure. Interactive too. At one point the flamenco dancer handed everyone handkerchiefs and invited them up to dance with her. Nothing complicated, just pure fun. In between sets, the restaurant played lively salsa music which really set the tone for where we were. After my unexpected workout, I ordered breakfast: The Conde de Castillas sandwich--minus the ham, and a glass of passion fruit juice. Essentially, it was a smoked gouda cheese sandwich with a guava and berry jam, on a fluffy, lightly toasted mallorca. Delicious! I only wish there was more cheese. An ooey gooey cheese pull would have been amazing! The sandwich also came with a side of super-skinny french fries. It was a little over $30 for both, but it was a filling and satisfying breakfast...plus live entertainment!
