    Lunch before going on Rum tasting tour at Bacardi. Take your welcome drink inside the restaurant and enjoy a delicious meal. The staff was very friendly. We chose the 20 dollar 3 course meal. Start off with potato soup with pork, then I had the pork belly mofongo. It was so tender and juicy. The pork belly laid on a bed of sautéed onions cradled inside a nice size mofongo. A warm brown gravy covered the bottom of the plate. I ate every bit. For dessert we had caramel flan and cheesecake turnovers. I was so full from the main course I could barely finish it. But the caramel sauce kept calling my name. Enjoyed every bit.

    Georgina is the on-site restaurant at the Bacardi factory. The food was very good. We had mini chicken empanadas and fish chicharones. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also nice. However, the service left a lot to be desired. There seemed to be one person working the front on a day that was not at all busy. He didn't come by other than to take our order and drop off the food; he never brought us water; we had to search for him to get the check. This may have been an anomaly on that particular day, but we unfortunately did not have a great experience other than the actual food.

    We went on a Saturday. The bacalaítos tacos with tuna tasted bland. You could only taste the mayo. We ordered the burger medium well and it was over cooked also the ratio of meat to bread wasn"t appropiate. The crab rissotto tasted good but the shrimp were spoiled and smelled odd. Been in Bacardi I expected the mojito to be delicious. It wasn't. I don't know what is happening with Bacardi quality control. They should be able to provide decent food at affordable prices for tourists as well as locals. won't be back.

    Showed up early for a tour and hung out here. Bartender Yussef was a great help regarding knowledge of drinks and activity ideas for our vacation. Staff in general was attentive and professional. They feature a full menu here but I didn't order anything.

    My favorite restaurant, out of the 5-6 I've tried so far around San Juan and Catano!! The food was very delicious! We had the calamari, chicken wings, empanadas and mojitos. We loved the wings so much we got a second order of it.

    Skirt steak with rice

    I never write any reviews but I had to for Georgina. My friend and I went here after the bacardi tour for lunch. Ww werent expecting much from a tourist restaurant and was expecting overpriced jusf okay meal from this place. Boy was I wrong. I got the skirt steak from this restaurant and by far it was the best skirt steak I had. I have been to a few more restaurants after this but nothing even came close to tge quality of Georgina's skirt steak. The medium was cooked just right and the seasoning was perfect. I definitely recommend the skirt steak from Georgina. It took a while for the food to come out so the service time could be better but it is definitely worth the wait.

    Steak sandwich...of the gods..

    This place is closed. Has not reopened since Maria. Do not plan to eat anything other than empanadas at the Bacardi distillery

    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.

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.
