    Mallorca with egg.
    Lorenzo M.

    Once again!! Never disappointing. This is my Mallorca sandwich spot! Where sweet and salty meet. Simply the best. The staff here are wonderful. Ready to take care of your food cravings. Let's not forget about the espresso or cafe leche! The restaurant always clean and the desserts are in abundance. If you're ever in the area...GET SOME!!!!

    This place was very busy and popular. I stopped by for a quick bite on the go. I tried the mini Cuban sandwich which was good but it was served cold. I would have preferred it pressed. The ladies behind the counters aren't the friendliest. I also tried the croquetas which were good.

    Cafecito and Tres Leches

    Local and tourist favorite, this one of the best bakeries we visited in San Juan. I love the Obama story that is posted on the wall from the time he visited Kasalta, it's so sweet. Classic Puerto Rican coffee and endless savory and sweet treats from Tres Leches, Quesitos, Sandwiches, Croquettes, etc. all fantastic. It is walk up service with cafeteria style dining- sometimes it can be a long line depending on the day/ time, but it's worth the wait.

    Flaky pastry filled with guava
    Rizma W.

    I see why this place has hosted 2 sitting presidents... Everything I had here was amazing. The bacalao fritters were lightly crispy on the outside, chewy (like firm mashed potatoes) on the inside. So good! The strawberry cheesecake was fantastic. It was this spongy, airy crust that gave it an even more delight texture. The flaky pastry filled with guava filling was divine. The crispiness of the pastry combined with the tart sweetness of the guava... Absolute perfection. The apple, guava and cheese danish was a unique, local take on a classic breakfast pastry and it delivered in every way. Well worth a visit if you can make it here.

    Cuban sandwich

    BOMBACLATTTT!!!! First off the restaurant is poppin'. Parking is limited so hopefully you can get a spot close by! We parked in their designated parking and they have a parking security guard that helps with coming in and out. Walking into the restaurant things are set up a lil awkward. You walk all the way inside and form the line at the end of the restaurant- sometimes standing behind people eating like in my picture. Hack** you can order sandwiches at the pastery line that's located closest to the door. Big man ting. The Cuban sandwich was pretty good but my girl loved the turkey. The coffee tho ... that thang was BUSSIN' get you a damn large cup unlike my lil kids meal one. Pretty good and fair price we paid about $30 for everything

    Tripleta and ice cold Corona. Hit the spot after humid one mile walk.

    My wife and I were staying in San Juan and we decided to take an Uber out to this Yelp recommended restaurant and my friend told me to try the Tripleta. I got a local beer to was down the perfect cheese and meat and wonderful bread of this tripleta/Perfecta. I guess they had Obama even visit and they have a poster on the wall. Pretty cool. I wanted to try all their cheeses and it starts to fill up at lunchtime. Great place for a sammy and a beer!

    Bistec Sandwich!
    Jonathan M.

    This place was down the street from my accommodation and didn't realize how storied it was until after I had landed. Asked the cashier what her favorite sandwich was and she said the spicy steak. Very filling and the fresh orange juice was tasty, a bit pricey but I guess it's expected as the island continues to go through gentrification.

    Ham, cheese and egg sandwich on the Mallorca bread
    Mariyam S.

    This was a great pit stop on our way to Loíza. We stopped for an afternoon snack. There's a parking lot right next to it that had plenty of empty spots at this time of the day. We tried their guava and coconut cake which was yum, and the ham, egg, cheese sandwich on Mallorca bread. The cheese in this was just incredible! The bread was certainly interesting - they sprinkle icing sugar on it... definitely worth trying if you've never had it before but not sure I'd get the bread again. The sandwich can easily be shared between two. Good portion. Also got two cappuccinos which were fairly average. There is no table service but staff are really helpful and friendly! On a side note, I thought it was interesting how there were no trash cans in the bakery (or outside). Also been told to try their guava pasteles but they had run out when we went. Next time!

    Kasalta Bakery was a 2 minute drive away from my air b n b when I was in San Juan, and we visited many times during our trip. Initially, it was a recommendation from my cousin, but when we tried it, we fell in love! Each time we visited, the bakery was lively between the workers and the guests - you can tell there were many regulars and tourists, alike! From the workers, to the pastries and breakfast options, this place felt so homey and I was elated that I could ate back into my childhood when ordered these pastries and desserts. The cafe con leche was a must every morning. Their pastelito de guayaba was to die for - I wish I had 4 more! 12/10 On another day when's I visited, I tried their flan de coco. I believe - if I'm not mistaken that they had 3 flavors of flan. But the flan de coco was also a 10/10. On the days I visited, my husband and I also had breakfast sandwiches which were delicious and fresh. Kasalta Bakery is a must visit if you are in the San Juan area! You will not be disappointed!

    Stopped here for breakfast around 11am on a Sunday. I was told that their pastries and food were really good. I did enjoy the empanada but the coffee was bland. I couldn't find any sugar and they don't do flavored coffee. If you want iced, please visit elsewhere or settle for hot coffee. The line was at least a 20 min wait so I grabbed a table while my boyfriend ordered for us. I would say get there early if you're looking for sancocho as they ran out early . (I mainly went for it) but settled for an empanada. The restaurant is clean in the dining area from what I could tell and the pastries were popular. You can order to go or choose to sit but you must order in line. I learned that Obama visited here years ago which was a pretty fun fact. I would definitely come again but early enough to take advantage of their soup and sandwich.

    This place was a blind pick on a beach walk. The restaurant was very welcoming and the staff was kind. They try to get you to the right place by asking if you're here to dine, to order out, (soups salads,and desserts) or a la carte. This place is near the beach and convenient to get out of the heat. The staff was less attentive once I explained I wanted a la carte. We ordered the chicken breast and salad and the burger from the lunch special. The food was not picture worthy, and I mean this kindly because the staff was nice. It's important to note that it is a Spanish diner, because otherwise you expect a Puerto Rican experience and that's not what we got hahaha.

    Fast breakfast spot with many different options of sandwiches, drinks and pastries. We got the the ham and cheese on Mallorca , guava pastries and a cappuccino. Service was great and there was a lot of seating inside.

    Dos cordaditos coffee to start the day off with a kick!

The menu here looked pretty much like that of any other traditional Spanish restaurant. That being said, it doesn't matter because the food we had was excellent. The callos a la madrileña were tasty. Dipping the bread in that sauce.... delicious. The octopus was decent but I've had much better at Casa Manolo. In addition to the traditional Spanish menu, they have a grill menu. When you walk in, the first thing you see in your right is the charcoal grill. We had to try the steak. We went with the ribeye for 2. Excellent. Perfectly done. Well worth the price. They bring the steak (every meat from the grill) to the table on a hot plate with a flame underneath so it continues to sizzle. The downside is that we ordered medium rare. It arrived perfectly done, but kept cooking at the table. We had to remove all the meat to avoid it from becoming well done. Just keep that in mind. The other potential issue for some is the amount of smoke the grill causes. Several tables ordered steaks so the air had lots of smoke. No a big deal for me, but it can be for some. The chef/owner is very nice. He would fist pump patrons as they entered the dining area and talk to them, and even take some orders (like chef Manolo at Casa Manolo). When we arrived the dining area was somewhat quiet. As the evening progressed it became a full house. It seemed to me, like many restaurants in these times, they were understaffed. Employees were wearing several hats. This lead to some frustration in getting attention, but it was understandable. They were doing the best they could. I would still return for more steak and callos.
