Not drying them says, hey, get your food and go, we don't care. It's no fun trying to add slaw from a ziplock bag, in the car. Someone said cash only, I paid in cash. I didn't see a sign, you may want to add that. The pupusas were good, kind of bland, once I added the included slaw for crunch and hot sauce for flavor, it really came together. Too bad I had to do this on my lap. Lastly, the tamarind juice was chunky. I wasn't expecting that and didn't care for it. Just personal preference. I'd love to see a weekly special flavor!

It was a hot day, and although we were originally seated outside, the manager did come over, apologize, and move us to an indoor table, which we appreciated. Still, we waited nearly an hour after being seated to get our food. A heads-up about the wait time would have gone a long way. Service was polite, but the delays really impacted the meal.

Viejo San Juan Latin restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that blends a spacious and…read moreairy atmosphere with the charm of outside seating, complete with a privacy fence for an intimate touch. The restaurant's cleanliness and precautions at the buffet underline a commitment to customer well-being, although my suggestion to cover the food on the employee side would be a more of a food safety for customers.
