    Mofongo con chicharron

    The food was delicious! Mozzarella sticks freshly made not frozen! Went to eat here 2xs while I was staying in the area. Service was great. Muy buena comida!

    The drinks were delicious

    This restaurant was next to our hotel and I am so happy it was because we went twice while on vacation. The servers were all extremely kind and the food was always delicious as well as the drinks.

    Checking out local spots off the resort led us here .... There are a few of these, and I believe they are opened 24/7 The food was decent. I had a difficult time getting fresh fruit that wasn't overripe. But the shrimp dish was great. The staff was pretty efficient. We went during the Halloween weekend, and there were many interesting sites in the T Mobile district There was a pretty large group of us, and they were good at keeping up with our food orders and getting the food out fresh and warm. Unfortunately, the wait was pretty long, and there were a few mishaps. Puerto Rico has some of the best food. The flavors and seasoning is always top their.

    First stop on the PR tour! This spot is right across from the beach (Isla Verde); there was not way when arrived and the restaurant has a bar, dining area, and private space so it is good for large groups. Drink Review (the bar left a little to desire but it wasn't bad) Pina Colada - a little water ftasty and strong Strawberry Margarita - tasty but syrup was very thick Passionfruit Mojito - strong but the flavor was not the best Food Review (now this is where they SHINE!) Salmon - well cooked and flavorful Mashed Plantains - a fan favorite of the group; rave reviews from the whole group Skirt Steak - delicious and flavorful Penne + Shrimp - a little heavy on the penne sauce but the garlic sauce addition made it slap! Fried Pork - dry and a bit overcooked (the only miss from the group) Overall, this was a great first stop and lunch spot for the beginning of our trip! The service was great as well; very friendly staff that gave great recommendations! Tip - ask for the garlic sauce!

    Menu on the wall.

    My husband and I were looking for a place with octopus salad. We saw this place was 3 blocks from our rental car drop off location. So walked over looked at the menu wasn't impressed. We asked the waitress about the octopus salad she said she did have it. So we sat down and ordered. We were a little nervous, didn't know what to expect. The place was empty on Wednesday evening. The food finally came and oh my word. It was so amazing. It tastes authentic. We ordered the octopus salad with green plantains and a crab yuca mofongo. SO GOOD!!!! Please do yourself a favor and stop by if you want delicious Puerto Rican food.

    Queso Frito & guava sauce.  Yummy

    We had a party of six and we all ate very well and everyone took food home. The appetizer was absolutely amazing with a true spread of wonderful Puerto Rican food. As you can see in the pictures attached to this post there was no shortness nor anything small about everything served to us. The service was wonderful and the owners came out and greeted us and ensured we had an excellent meal. Our drinks were always refilled promptly. They have a great selection of local cervezas to choose from. I had the Ocean blood orange cerveza. As we dined we overlooked the terrace surrounded by huge beautiful pine trees and of course beautiful Puerto Rico . Music played in the background adding to the ambiance of the evening. Such a memorable experience from the moment of arrival until we left. Out of our whole trip to the enchanted island, this was the best of the best in all aspects. It may be a little difficult to find by Google maps but asking a local, they knew exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely return without a doubt! Gracias Amigos for an amazing experience!!

    Stopped by Los Pinos for dinner recently. There only one waitress but she was efficient in running the bar and serving guests. For dinner, I requested grouper in a creole sauce, my wife, churrasco, my daughter, a Cubano, and my son, breaded chicken. All of our meals were very good. Service was slow, but friendly.

    Shrimp Mofongo
    Felton J.

    Service was good. And the shrimp mofongo was really good. Good place overall to try if you're in the area

    Empanada
    Shaasia L.

    I ate here a lot because it was near my hotel. The food is good and I'm glad I got to try numerous things from their menu. I love that the restaurant is 24 hours and has the option of inside dining or outside on the patio. I had food there at 3am,11am,9pm and the service is always pleasant.

    Rice & Beans
    Raya V.

    My food was good. Service was excellent from my girl who is always in there busting her behind! I just had a simple rice and beans to soak up my alcohol and the other person had empanadas.

The food was incredible. Everything we ordered was flavorful, comforting, and clearly prepared with care. My mother even commented that the arroz y habichuelas reminded her of her grandmother's cooking, which is probably one of the highest compliments a Puerto Rican restaurant can receive. The meal felt authentic, homemade, and deeply satisfying. I ordered the stuffed avocado, and it was absolutely to die for. It was one of the standout dishes of our entire trip. The staff was attentive and worked hard to keep things moving despite how busy the restaurant was. You can immediately tell that this place serves a very high volume of customers, and for good reason. The only thing that may confuse first-time visitors is the seating process. People generally line up in the hallway adjacent to the dining room and wait to be seated. At first, it can feel like organized chaos, but the staff clearly knows how to manage the crowd. Given the popularity of the restaurant and the amount of people coming through the doors, the system works. The quality of the food for the price is outstanding. This is the kind of place you visit when you want authentic Puerto Rican food that tastes like it came straight from someone's family kitchen. If you're visiting San Juan, you owe it to yourself to eat here at least once. Our family loved it, and we would absolutely return on a future trip.

We arrived a little early so we walked around a little beforehand then sat on the bench in front until they were ready. The space is narrow.

The tostanos, the ceviche, I enjoyed it all. The waitstaff were friendly and accommodating. Most fascinating was the wall hanging along the right side. It was waving the entire time.

This was my first meal in Puerto Rico and basically my introduction to Puerto Rican cuisine. They offer a twist on classic dishes, which kind of threw us off but I still enjoyed most of the dishes! I really liked the asopao, empanadas, tostones, and the guanime (dessert). The other dishes were good as well, but a bit on the salty side, which I'm just not used to. The only thing I didn't like was the alcapurria, which I think you can get better ones elsewhere, but it was definitely worth trying. We got complimentary ice cream beans which was nice because I love trying exotic fruits! And the rocio de miel is a great cocktail if you're like me and you like sweeter, lighter drinks. Our server was very attentive and patient, explaining the menu to us since we hadn't tried most things before. It was a very nice experience and great introduction to Puerto Rican cuisine!

Warning: sauce was insanely spicy even trying a dab though. 5 stars - Shrimp toast: perfection. Crispy exterior on top and bits of shrimp naturally fused together. So SO good. 5 stars - Chocolate cake with mousse and ice cream w peanuts. 4.5 stars - Steak: top quality meat. 4.25 stars - Chorizo croquettes crispy balls of goodness packed with flavors. 4.25 stars - Snitzel: well cooked. 4 stars - Waitress: Natalia was excellent. Was willing to put sauces on the side for my son. Bonus for her warning us about spicy habanero sauce on chicken to get it on the side even for the adults. - Stellar cocktails: coconut water ice cube in one was delightful - Wine wonderful quality and unique versions by the glass - Atmosphere: dining room simple and clean approachable with art on the walls Midlights: - Pork belly: significant portions with several slices and a crispy skin layer, but was hoping for more Thai peanut sauce action. 3.25 stars - Mofongo: flavors were fine but was expecting more prominent meat and mofongo separation. Appreciated the greens to cut the richness. 3 stars Lowlights: - Curious with the sauce with the chicken being known to be insanely hot why they might not mellow it out a bit or serve it naturally on the side

If you're staying in Condado, I'd probably just grab an Uber rather than make the walk. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and reservations are definitely recommended. This was honestly one of the calmest, most relaxing restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. Because of that, I probably wouldn't bring kids unless they're exceptionally well behaved. It's just not that kind of restaurant, and I'd hate to be the one disrupting the atmosphere everyone else came to enjoy. The clarified espresso martini was as visually intriguing (it's completely clear) as it was delicious and smooth. The fried chicken and pork belly were both outstanding, and I'd happily order either one again. Overall, if you're looking to splurge on one memorable meal in San Juan, Vianda would be high on my list.

The vegetariano was mid, but the other three? No complaints. But honestly, the food is only part of the story here. The vibe is everything. Salsa playing, high energy, warm service. We rolled in late and hungry, looking for sweet refuge from La Placita crowds, and they welcomed us like we belonged there. The music started out mixed, but at some point it shifted to Contra La Corriente front to back. We were enjoying our pastelillos, singing along to No Me Conoces, minding our own business when... el apagón. Not the whole Placita, just a couple spots including this one.

Tucked inside La Placita de Santurce, its a small, casual, almost hidden spot that's usually packed with locals. Think plastic chairs, outdoor tables, music playing and a constant flow of people coming in for a quick bite or drink. Feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a restaurant. I've been coming here for years and this is what I've learned, take it from a local. For a quick bite, alcapurrias are a MUST -- especially beef or crab. Also the "pastelillos" are amazing-- corn beef, chorizo, morcilla... Everything freshly made to order. Now, if you want to sit down and enjoy an authentic Puerto Rican meal, here are some of my favorites: chuletas fritas, chicharrones de pollo, bistec encebollado and carne frita-- of course with a side of rice and beans or tostones for the win. Bottom line: you come here for flavor and authenticity, not comfort. Enjoy
