Shrimp Mofungo
Jamie M.

I came here on a recommendation from a coworker. Although it is a hole in the wall kind of place, the prices are definitely right! I ordered a shrimp mofungo ($20.99) and Reds ($4) as well as a Coke ($3). My food came out nice and hot and hit the spot! There was a little confusion with our bill since we were paying separately and then they forgot to add the cokes on until after we handed over the cards. (We had 3 different people waiting on us so I think that's what happened). Overall, it was a good experience though!

We got some happy hour special drinks, 2 for $18. One passionfruit margarita and one coconut mojito. The margarita was so much better than the mojito, that was a disappointment because I love mojitos here in PR. I would def come back for that passionfruit margarita and skip out on the coconut unless I tried another flavor. We also got from fresh strawberry kiwi smoothie juice that was good.

We were just looking for a drink and found the best mojito in Old San Juan! Friendly staff!

Was assured the Veggie Mofongo was vegan by wait staff. The Veggie Mofongo and pinto beans (from the Veggies, rice, and beans dish) were the standout. It was a bit of a tight fit for four of us last minute. But they made it work quickly.

The mofongo was amazing and the happy hour rum punch was really really delicious. I had another. A cool place for music and drinks for sure. There was a little mistake in ordering, I asked for the chicken but got the churrasco. All good

Decent food. This place was recommended by our tour guide. We had fried pork skins for the appetizer. It came fresh to the table after being cooked. I had the breaded chicken with rice, beans and salad. My daughter had steak with peppers and French fries since she does not like rice and beans. Hubby had the mofongo with steak. The lemonade was freshly squeezed/made and very delicious!

Wall with $1 bills

The food was good; it was typical Puerto Rican food. The servers were great and the food did not take long to reach our table. I love the decor; dollar bills were pasted on the walls by the different customers who ate at Los Yeyos; Cool idea. I ate twice, before leaving PR I ordered food to eat on the plane. PS Have the pina colada

The guy outside pulled me in with his "it's Happy Hour! come in and try it" The staff were very friendly and the food was nice and hot. Served quickly. The bar served great drinks and cocktails and juice. A large screen TV with a bumpin' stereo speakers. The servers were young and beautiful and friendly. Facilities were clean . Lots of locals and tourists alike walked in . Cooler inside and still they had theirAC on and kept their fans rotating.

They're open on Christmas Day. The Don Q coconut rum shots were pretty good. Our bartender was attentive and quick. The atmosphere was lively, with menu options like Mofongo. Looking forward to trying more of Puerto Rico's signature dishes next time!

pernil mofongo
Amanda W.

The tastiest mofongo in my opinion, and limonade too. Delicious and so fresh. But the pernil was so salty and the service was a bit choppy. But overall i really liked it.

Menu as of December 2023

Our cruise ship swung by San Juan for a couple hours and I had two missions: rum and mofongo. After satisfying my rum cravings we searched for an authentic place to get mofongo. Sadly there are a lot of tourist traps in San Juan (like birthplace of the pina colada? Come onnnnnnn man, do better). But we finally found this place. Unassuming joint that was 1/3 restaurant, 1/3 sundries store, 1/3 liquor store? Manager had Keith sweat on repeat, beers were cheap and ice cold. We were more than ready for the food and DAMN was it delicious! We had skirt steak and roast pork mofongo and a couple local Puerto Rican microbrews. Everything about the meal was incredible, totally low key vibes and great location. I will always recommend this place to friends going to San Juan!

Mofongo de jueyes
Michelle G.

We got a mofongo with crab here as a second dinner (lol we were hungry) / post-dinner snack. My friend liked it more than me, I think there are better mofongos in the city and it was a bit salty, but it was still solid. The interior (especially a side room with lights) was super cute but it was so cold in the restaurant especially as you got farther in. The air conditioning was blasting and it wasn't hot enough outside to warrant it, in my opinion. We didn't have drinks, but the prices looked cheap/reasonable.

We were a large group, so there was about a 30-minute wait for a table, but that's part of the fonda-style experience. Tables turn over as people finish their meals, and while you're waiting, you can relax with an ice-cold Medalla, which makes the time go by quickly. A special thank you to the staff for the excellent service and warm hospitality. The food, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff made this one of our favorite dining experiences in Old San Juan. We will definitely be back!

The restaurant is absolutely adorable inside and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Once we were seated, the service was quick and attentive. There were four of us in our party, and we started with the pizza turnovers. They were delicious, although I do wish they had a little more filling. I ordered the tamale. While it wasn't quite to my personal taste, I could tell it was well made and I'm sure others who enjoy that style of tamale would love it. My husband had the baked chicken and really liked it. My friend ordered the salmon and said it was moist and very flavorful, and her husband had the garlic chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, everyone in our group was happy with their meals. Between the cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food, I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're visiting Old San Juan.

Since I've always seen the long lines outside this store when I passed by, we decided that we try to go in as soon as it opened. So, we lined up around 11:30am. We barely waited much and we got seated. The server that day was quick/efficient/friendly despite the fact that she was running a one woman show. And the food arrived within a decent time. My friends and I decided to order the PUERTO RICAN PLATTER with a side of a side salad. This platter comes with everything you could want & maybe something that might be a bit adventurous for you to eat like blood sausage. Despite that, it's a nice platter to share and try a bit of everything. It's really nice that if you order for 4 people, they give you exactly the amount of pieces that are divisible by 4 (so everyone can try 1-2 pieces of each thing evenly). It also comes with a decent amount of rice/pork as a supplementation, which was nice. It's a balanced meal. And I think the side salad did well to balance out all the fried foods. Overall, we really enjoyed this place. It's a great place to come with friends/families to share. It's a great place as a visitor to try a bit of everything. The platter is a great introduction of puerto rican fried finger foods. And it all taste great! From the presentation of the food to the service here, it's all good. I would recommend this place to others.

The restaurant is medium sized, so for the sake of space they make you wait outside for a table. Our group of 7 was seated pretty easily but it also wasn't too packed when we arrived. Their menu is written on a chalkboard and from my knowledge, they don't provide any physical copies. My table got a variety of things but me in particular, I ordered the Puerto Rican sampler. We split it between 3 people and they said it could feed 4 but hmmm, I'd be skeptical of that. I think no more than 2 comfortably honestly as a meal. The sampler was delicious though and had all the main things I wanted. The corn fritters were a hit and the steak was well cooked and seasoned. While the food was good, the wait was a little long and the service was mid (not bad but not the best we've had). Solid 4 stars

Well good news, the food is still good! I stopped in during the festival of San Sebastian and the restaurant was packed! We luckily got a seat for two and were able to order right away. I order the mofongo de pollo and my friend ordered a different meal with a soup. I am not going to lie, the service was extremely slow and the food took about 30 to 40 mins maybe to come out. I expect this was because of the festival and how busy the restaurant was. When the food came out, it was delicious! The chicken was great and drenched in a salsa criolla sauce. It was definitely worth the wait! After my meal, I ordered a coffee to digest the food. Luckily this didn't take as long as the food. I would definitely recommend this place however if you are in a rush, it might be best to go somewhere else. The food is very tasty!

The restaurant is very small inside but they do have outside dining which is what we chose to do. The service was good, they were very attentive to our needs. Unfortunately, the appetizer we ordered was just awful. We ordered a mix of very traditional Puerto Rican bites-small alcapurrias, sorrullos, chicharrónes de pollo and some fried cheese. There was absolutely nothing good about the mix. The alcapurrias has no meat whatsoever, the chicharrónes were not crispy and the cheese was just awful. I wanted to give them a 1star review but I felt this would not be fair because we did not try an entree and I hope that would be better. The 3star was because the service was good. In addition to the service later on in the evening they had live music which was essentially old traditional Puerto Rican music which was excellent. So to be fair I thought a 3 star review would be the right thing to do. Hopefully the entrees are much better just stay away from the surtido appetizer because it was not good.

We also had mofongo with chicken and creole sauce, white rice and beans, fried plantains, and another side of beans and rice. We definitely over-ordered, as the food was plentiful and very filling.

We tried a little of a lot of things, kind of a meal of sides to go with our mofongo, and the empanadilla pastry was flaky and light. Hubs liked the chicken one best, I preferred the ground beef. But the big takeaway is the mofongo with garlic sauce. They even let you choose from a list of other sauces if you don't want garlic, but frankly, there's a reason it's listed first and it's not just tradition.

Pictures of Old San Juan in the early 1900s line the walls to show how little the town has changed in the past century, and Mallorca Cafetería is a gem that has withstood the test of time. Definitely an affordable breakfast as the most expensive mallorca is still under $10. Cafe con leche in styrofoam cups is a staple that is great even in the heat. Definitely worth getting a cup of orange juice as it is freshly squeezed to order. During my stay in Puerto Rico I had several mallorcas around the island but none come close to what I consider the original. Pressed and doused in powdered sugar it's surprisingly both light and filling. We had tried coming at around 9a the previous day and there was already a long line outside so we chose go to somewhere else but made sure we were out the door by 6:30a the next day to get to Mallorca before it opened and there was still a bit of a line. We were able to get in and situate ourselves once they opened at 7a; there are lots of small tables with chairs which we chose because we had a larger group but if dining solo or with one person it's definitely a great experience to sit at the bar for a more traditional feel. Again, this is a must for me every time I am in San Juan and I'm happy to carve out some time for one of the greatest breakfasts you can have. Would rate ten stars if it were possible.

The vibe is straightforward and comfortable--think casual, sit-down seafood spot where you can relax, grab a drink, and not overthink the menu. It's not flashy or upscale, but that's part of the appeal. Just friendly service, cold drinks, and solid food.

Exactly what you want from a Puerto Rican seafood lunch. Verdict Cayo Caribe is a dependable, casual seafood stop near the port. Nothing overly complicated--just good service, fresh seafood, and a relaxed setting. A great lunch choice if you're in the area and craving fried seafood and tacos. Solid four stars.
