Wepa wepa! From Groceries to turning up, this is your spot! I was researching spots to celebrate…read morefor New Year's, this was one of the spots that showed up. AMBIANCE You're in the city so it's an eventful area. There's street parking and nearby lots but your best to carpool or rideshare. As for the vibes, I'm told in the daytime it's a local marketplace that's filled with vendors and other fresh produce booths. It's pretty chill with a nice neighborhood feel. As for the evening, this is where to turn up and get a pulse of Puerto Rico parties. EXPERIENCE Go to your bar, pick your vibe from community, club excessive, lounge feel, live music or etc. Drink choices rangeThey have it here! Plenty of photo op spots and good energy. I was here peak of the #DTMF era so it was magical to see people come together with a speaker and a cowbell. A local put into perspective how this was way better than paying for an expensive hotel party. It was truly a 1 of 1 experience. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. It doesn't get any better. There's a reason why this space is dropped in lyrics and people's recommendations because this is the heart of the people. So don't be shy! Grab a drink, walk around, catch a dance, and be safe! TIPS: * Don't just settle for one spot. Be sure to explore around to experience the entire Santurce experience!

Review #1,047 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came to La Placita on Thursday the 23rd, when in town to celebrate my buddies 50th birthday. I guess this was purposefully done as I've heard it's nuts here on Fridays & Saturdays. When you get dropped off at the main road when you walk down it takes you to all the action in a few hundred feet. This place was still packed, but it was popping, the place to be at night I'd guess. They've got all JJ da of restaurants, bars, & clubs here. Tons of music, & a good time.

For dinner it was amazing. I know it says Hooka bar, but I…read morecan't speak to that as other than some decor, no one was partaking. Great service, great company and great food. I had the steak with rice &beans and the veggies. My husband had the chicken, fries with rice and beans. Both were cooked to perfection. Enjoyed every bite.

I saw them rushing out the African American people next to me which made me feel uncomfortable at the fact they kept asking if they were going to order more drinks or wanted their tab.. and proceeded to speak about them in Spanish. I asked for a latte and guy proceeded to say "I can make you an espresso martini instead" .. I said sure... not a great espresso martini. Way to strong and I left half there as I just could not down it to save my life. He recommended the steak and eggs.. very good but it's a big meal. The guy who made my drink was a bit nicer towards the end of my meal.. side from that this is not a place I would recommend. No personalities at all & again NOT VERY WELCOMING!

And the pita bread was top-notch, probably some of the best we've had. We all loved it! My husband and I shared the lamb shish kebab, but unfortunately, it wasn't our favorite. The meat was a bit tough and not cooked quite the way we like it, which made it hard to chew. That said, the wait staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was so cute and cozy, making the whole experience still enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try a different dish next time. There's a lot on the menu that looked amazing!

Bartender/server was nice but not knowledgeable on spirits displayed. I gave her some suggestions on what to do with some of them.
