    Since I have been in San Juan for a few weeks now, I have come here 4 times to have lunch. The hamburgers are amazing! You cannot go wrong with any of the burgers. The lamb, veal, and beef are very good. The burgers are juicy, cooked to your liking and has options for toppings. I also like the fries. The Provencial fries are basically garlic fries but could use more garlic. I have also had their beef skirt steak tacos. Definitely tasty. If you're interested in a lighter meal, I would highly recommend. I think their short ribs tacos are even better, but they were only available as a special. My only complaint is that service is slow. It takes a while for our food to come, so my meal would last 1.5 hours from sit down to finish eating. I'm not of fan of the waiting for food game, so I would not come here if you are in a rush.

    First night desert.

    As first timers to Puerto Rico, my wife and I were seeking out places that had good reviews on Yelp. Well, La Burguett didn't disappoint. We were welcomed at the door and seated immediately. Our server, Osiris, greeted us and promptly made us feel welcomed. After getting drinks ordered we finally decided what to order. My wife went for the Burger with egg. She loves egg on her burgers. I decided to take a chance on the New York Strip, which is my favorite cut of meat and I've had many times in my years of business travel (I've had some $60+ New York Strips elsewhere and been well pleased). As the server approached our table with our food, my first shock came when I saw the size of the Stake. It was 22oz! It nearly covered half to two-thirds of the plate. It looked absolutely amazing. My wife's Burger was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious to the taste. My second wow moment came when I cut into it. I always order Medium Well. (The sweet spot for me is closer to medium, but not to pink). This steak came out to absolute perfection. It was slight pink throughout with a hot center. Then, the magic happened. I took my first bite. It was something magical. It was prepared simply perfect. I devoured as much as I could, until I realized they had Churros. (I love Churros and knew I would have to indulge, so I saved some room.) Following my dinner, I enjoyed the Churros with Ice Cream. Wow! That's all I can say!! I highly recommend this place and can assure you you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!! (Side note, we decided to go back for a second night!)

    Always a classic. Normally have the large churrasco which is the best in town. Last night tried the salmon and besides it was a heavy portion, quality and flavors were excellent! This is a simple but great restaurant. Great service included!

    Just had an amazing Lamb burger cooked to medium rare perfection. The French fries were delicious, packed with Parmesano cheese and truffle oil. Claudia had a tasty capresse salad. Local bottled beers are also really go

    Fresh dorado fillet! Delicious and cooked to perfection!

    Eating in old San Juan is not an easy choice, there is a huge variety of restaurants and stands that provide local food. I choose this place because the daily menu could not be overseen. Three Cheese Risotto with skirt steak and fresh fish "dorado" fillet with fried plantains. When inquiring if they were pet friendly (I was with my dog) they did not hesitate to pull a table to the outside terrace and make it comfortable for my whole family and my little four legged friend. The waitress was dynamic and friendly. The menu is really versatile. We ordered fried breaded fresh mozzarella for appetizer and of course the daily menu. Nothing disappointed us! Delicious, fast service and the fish was FRESH! When we thought the cortadito at the end was the perfect finale, they even offered a free shuttle to the parking. I'll definitively be back!

    Delicious. I had the Lamb Burger (medium) with Muenster cheese, prosciutto and a fried egg on top. For starter I had the Puerto Rican chorizo croquettes. Did not disappoint. It wasn't very busy so I can't judge service in a busy setting; but, my service was great.

    Absolute GEM of a restaurant and let me tell you, I am an absolute snob for Italian food. My…read moreboyfriend and I arrived around 7:30pm on a busy Saturday night and were lucky enough to grab the 2 open seats at the bar because there was a wait for a table. This meant the bartender David was our server who was SO incredible. He was professional, incredibly efficient, kind, patient, gave us tips about the area, and made great dinner recommendations. He never let our water get below halfway full which I truly value too. Now onto the food - we shared the caesar salad, vodka pasta with chicken, and guavanoli. What a treat!!!! The caesar was large and fresh. The vodka sauce was more tomato based rather than loaded with heavy cream, which made it fresh and flavorful rather than super heavy which we enjoyed. Now the star of the show - the Guavanoli - a chicken stuffed crepe topped with mozzarella and guava sauce. David said tourists usually stay away from this because it sounds so different but it's the locals favorite. I can attest this has been one of our favorite meals of the entire trip, and we agreed the guavanoli was one of the most delicious yet unique entrees we've ever had. We're here for 2 more days and want to come back to get it again. The crepe wrapping essentially tastes like an enchilada, and the guava sauce is NOT too sweet. It's mixed with a red wine reduction so it has a slightly sweet edge to it, but is 1000% perfect with the dish and delicious. The prices are on the higher size but the portions are large and totally justify it. With the 2 of us, we ended up having a very decent amount of the vodka pasta as leftovers to take back to the hotel. We didn't order drinks, but David was whipping up incredible looking cocktails! They also have really cool hand-painted large portraits around the room. Beautiful restaurant, amazing staff, and even better food!!

    After a bit of struggle looking for a decent place to dine on a Sunday evening in San Juan (most…read moretop places we had earmarked were closed due to it being a Sunday), we stumbled into Santisimo. Situated in an old, historic hotel, you're immediately greeted by a special vibe as you enter under a tall arched gate into a balcony-esq dining area overlooking the hotel corridors on one side and a bar with turquoise sponge-painted wall on the other. We were informed that they had a seat for two but somehow the young man at the entryway tried to sit us at the bar, but speaking to the waitress, we were able to grab a seat in the main dining area. I mean, it wasn't even full - but we were told that reservations are going to be coming in. We had the burrata salad (a running theme by now in P.R. - we were gasping for non-deep fried and fresh vegetables since the whole island seemed to have come deep-fried), tuna tartare, and a grilled pulpo over potato with tomato sauce appetizers. One note: Since Puerto Rico is a US territory, it does share a lot in common with US, such as portion sizes. We learned the hard way during lunch that portions are HUGE and priced high so that tourists cough up more money. That's why we ordered 3 appetizers here for dinner. Burrata was a welcome change with some greens that we sorely needed, but unfortunately there were many wilted red leaf lettuce leaves in there so we had to send it back to have it re-made. Once back though, we enjoyed the lightly creamy burrata on a bed of bitter arugula, sweet cherry tomatoes and balsamic glaze. It reminded me of the salad I make everyday at home, LOL, minus the burrata. Tuna tartare was nothing to write home about and the toasted mini baguettes were a bit too brittle and old. Rosemary sprigs on top really didn't add anything to the taste and were old as well, so ended up being more of a nuisance. The octopus was pretty juicy and good, though nothing like the real leg of grilled octopus. I enjoyed the combination of flavorful potato mash, sharp vinegary red onion slices, and the briny bites of octopus. As we were eating, the place became comfortably packed and people seemed to be enjoying themselves here. It definitely had that underground hideout / secret bar vibe - a lady just needed to wear a feathered hat and smoked long pipe cigarette to complete that 1940s movie look. But overall, we were not too impressed with the food - there were definitely better options available in the area. Don't get me wrong - it wasn't BAD and I think it might still be worth it if you want a good vibe and decent food in San Juan... but if you had other choices that are open, look there first.

We were a group of 12, hence finding a restaurant that would accommodate us was difficult. Thankfully, Bayside was able to do so. Since we were interested in seeing the ships and see if we could board some of them, we skipped the appetizers and went straight to the main course... and drinks of course. Unfortunately, our food took about an hour and a half to arrive, maybe more. When it finally arrived, I noticed they left off the bacon from my bacon cheeseburger. I was too hungry so I let it go. I thought I'd just ask the waitress to take it off the bill. Coincidentally, my wife's order also had mistakes. She ordered sautéed onion for her burger. Instead, she got onion rings. She did let the waitress know, who went and got the onions. When the bill arrived, I noticed the bacon was not on it. It seems she forgot to write it down. However, she did include the onion rings my wife never ordered. We decided not to complain because the group was ready to leave and it was already dark out. When we reached the ships, they had already closed the gates. Bummer. The burgers were good, not great, and they did accommodate our large group, so I'll give them that. They also had a very good IPA from Definitive Brewing Co. (Portland,OR).

The burger was made without any of my add ons and didn't taste good at all (which I was still charged for). The fries were only half done and tasted horrible.

We were dragged here by family who live in San Juan because it's "kid friendly" and on the marina. The view of the marina was, I'll admit, spectacular- but the view from the bridge is the same and you don't risk contracting a serious disease like you do at sizzler. The view is the 1 star on this review. Where to start? Well, the buffet for adults is $18 off the rip. The place is. Absolutely. Completely. Unbelievably FILTHY. Wet floors. Dirty utensils. Sticky tables. Filthy "sneeze guards." The bathrooms- listen I've spent time in a literal JAIL with a cleaner place to relieve myself. On top of that- there are bugs (both flying and crawling) throughout this hell hole. The food was what may be described as "summer camp run by sadists with a mission statement to cause the spread of food borne illnesses and a non-zero chance at death." Food left for hours (days?) under the lamps so that everything that didn't look like diarrhea covered in vomit simply looked like various kinds of roadkill jerky. Anything that was in a mostly liquid state of matter had a tough skin over it from the "gravy" to what I believe was supposed to be broccoli cheese soup but bore a concerning resemblance to stadium nacho cheese that had been left on the sidewalk for a week or two. The salad bar items, "desserts" and "hot foods" were all the same temperature- somewhere between room temp and Petri dish incubator. I'm frankly shocked that this place is able to operate and hasn't been shut down. The only bright spot is I think I made a new friend or two- I think I have a tape worm.
