Walked in here at ~8:15am for breakfast. There was not a lot of people yet; we were seated at the bar. After a few minutes, people started trickling down and soon the place was close to being full. I liked the mallorca with ham, bacon, cheese! It was delicious. They looked small but they were filling. The pastries displayed at the window were inviting. If you're dining in, you have to tell your server that you're getting some pastries that are on display then you ask the person at the counter who also serves as the cashier to get them for you. The guava pastry was good. The vanilla bread with strawberry and pineapple/lemon was okay. They looked better than they tasted in my opinion. Payment for everything would be at the cashier after dining. If you're in San Juan, this is a place to try!

One of the classics that are amplified via social media. Here was our experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Old San Juan rules--come early or be ready to walk. Seating: Inside seating, plenty of seating but just gets pretty busy because of how popular this place is. Vibes: Welcome to Old San Juan! Heart of Puerto Rico but also a very touristy spot as well. The attitude changes based on the time of day. When it comes to the early/mid day - brekkie/brunch busy. The spot itself was nothing too flashy just your authentic morning coffee shop with servers busy serving people. Great place to chill, chat, and start up your day. FOOD / DRINKS Mallorca - Regular (Recommend) A mallorca is basically a sweet bread but this one is most known for their ham and cheese. We tried getting their as early as possible but they were backed so we had the regular which was a soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet but powdered with sugar. A nice morning boost of energy to start the day. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Gotta respect the employees for handling the busy rushes time in and out. TL;DR OVERALL 4 Stars. Good food, reasonable prices, and a pleasant experience. A must-try Old San Juan experience. You can get mallorcas in other places but the history here is pretty nice. Not trendy, not curated--but deeply rooted in local culture. If you want to understand Puerto Rican breakfast, this is a great place to start. TIPS * Go early to beat the crowd * Tip your servers

Review #1,046 Posted on 4.26.26 We came here on Thursday the 23rd while in San Juan area for my buddies 50th birthday. This spot we had seen on social media a ton for being famous for their Mallorca sandwich, a special type bread, we got the one with bacon & American cheese. Man, I made the mistake of doing the bacon instead of ham, overthought that deal. I tried my buddies with ham n cheese and I think that was way to go. I loved how this spot had that super old school feel of like a diner. You can sit at one of the table tops, or you can do the countertop too, which has tons of seats, we all were able to sit there. I'd 100% recommend this spot, but get the ham n cheese mallorca sandwich, don't overthink it.

Stopped by for breakfast on a Tuesday morning around 8am. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived and we immediately got a table. We ordered two coffees, cheese Mallorca, Swiss Mallorca, coconut macaroon, and Mallorca bread. The coffees were small but mighty. Cheese Mallorcas were delicious and we slightly favored the Swiss version. I'd get it with ham next time. Super simple. Sweet and savory. From the pastry window, we picked up a Mallorca bread with powered sugar which was amazing. The bread was SO soft and fluffy. Very similar to Japanese milk bread. We also got a coconut macaroon which has a bit of lemon flavor to it. Also good, very sweet. I'd definitely come back and highly recommend!

We were recommended this spot by a local - and we are so glad we came to Old San Juan to find it! We arrived just after 8am for good reason, the place fills up so quick! We sat at the bar top for quick service! You must try the famous Mallorca with ham and cheese - this light flufffy pastry like sandwich is delectable. The perfect balance of sweet and savory. Everything was served on paper plates and plastic cups... nothing fancy, just fantastic food and great local coffee. The service was quick, friendly and yes, he spoke little English but it was quite easy to understand as we don't speak Spanish.

What a charming old-school diner. We were staying around the corner and had walked by a few times in the evenings, when they are closed. I had seen recommendations to try the Mallorcas, so we came back early one morning before 8 AM as we had to catch a tour bus. At that hour it was pretty empty, just the waiter, a cashier, a handful of older gentlemen hanging out, and a couple of tourist groups like ourselves. We all ordered Mallorcas, which are basically breakfast sandwiches of soft thin bread rolls (Mallorcas) with powdered sugar, but come in variations with egg, cheese, ham, bacon, etc. Get any of the variants - not the plain ones, which I don't think come toasted - as they crisp them first with the fillings, then sprinkle the sugar. They were pretty good and cheaper than most other breakfasts we tried in the area. The next morning, we even tried to came back, but it was PACKED at 9 AM so we wandered down to El Meson (fast food) and were sorely disappointed at their version of Mallorcas (to be fair it was dirt cheap there), so I would stick to Cafe Mallorca but COME EARLY! Ambience was old school diner with a long counter and vintage photos of Mallorca and Old San Juan. I wish they would use real plates and cutlery instead of the disposable stuff we found prevalent in PR. Oh and the coffee is nothing special so you fill have to get your espressos or lattes somewhere else.... Oh and the bakery case was filled with what looked like delectable treats but unfortunately we did not get to try those (other than the mallorcas)... next time!

Went from 5 Stars to 1 real quick. Although there are full trays of pastries in the window, they refuse to sell us Mallorca to go. You can only eat on the premises; they are too busy for take-out. Whatever that means. But there are no seats. Does not matter. So we waited and sat at the end of the counter. Where people standing to our left were picking up their to-go orders. No kidding. Plus no air. Server moves like a sloth. Got our order of 4 Mallorcas and 2 coffees wrong. Plus they nuke the coffee. To pay, you are back in 1975 on a long line with the cashier marking every sale in a marble book. And she moves like a snail. All the charm is gone. Mallorca bread is delicious, but it just. Ain't. Worth it.

The sandwich was a 20/10. I saw it in a video and said huh? A what? But you must go try it for yourself. The dining room can get crowded, its seat yourself and then get served, but service was rather quick. Think casual dining. You check out on your way out where you can grab pastries to go as well.

the food here and in PR in general is to die for. these little sausages changed my life. the coffee ? WOW. service is a little difficult but still so worth it.

Must visit while in PR for a quick authentic breakfast experience. Beware, there is usually a long line, however it moves super quick due to the quick service. Their breakfast sandwiches are made right on the spot with fresh mallorcas. Their lemonade and orange juice are also to die for! Freshly squeezed! They are also pretty cheap, in comparison to other options in the area. The hype around this place is definitely worth it, making it a must try!

Diana H.

This is quite literally the best surprise I've ever experienced. This constantly comes up as as a must try when in San Juan and there's a line out the door to prove it. Inside, it's a typical cafeteria type restaurant and the poor server we had had a lot of tables to take care of so service was slow but the sandwich is WELL worth the wait. I tried the egg ham and cheese Mallorca. Delicious!!

Foods are great it's a mom and pops place very popular here in San Juan Puerto Rico but you need to stretched out your patience waiting to get your order and for your orders to be served as well only 2 servers getting in all the orders and serving for the price is just right food is good cleanliness i would say 2 stars service is 1 star foods are 4 stars even mom and pops breakfast and brunch place need to step up just saying but of-course first time visitors need to try this

We arrived at 11:00 am on a Friday morning. Since all of the tables were full we sat at two barstools at the bar. A server slid some menus down to us and by 11:15 we were still waiting (and attempting to get the servers attention). When a table opened up, we asked if we could move to it. They said yes. We then flagged down a server to say we were ready to order. He said ok and kept walking. After being ignored for another 15 min, we finally were able to place an our order. We both got coffee, juice and a Mallorca con queso huevo y Jamon. Mine did not have egg. The server did get us another one. Overall the food was ok and the service was so bad that I can't recommend this place nor will I return

We went there twice in Jan 2009. First time, they didn't give the special of the day, although everybody around us was eating that dish. The second, time we ordered chicken with rice, but the our portions was much smaller than other people's (locals). I only had a drumstick without even the thigh. In the end, when we looked at the bill they had charged us extra for stupid things: orange juice 2.50 instead of 1.75, coffer 1.75 instead of 1.00. One can not make such mistakes in the bill. They may round up numbers but not those mistakes. read more

We were looking for the ham and cheese sandwich which is the famous local food in Puerto Rico and saw this place. The decorations of the place was not special but the ham and cheese was so good. We tried two different bread and both were delicious. It's a little pricy tho, it cost $5 per sandwich. Not sure if there were any place good for ham and cheese sandwich, but worth to give it a try here if you don't find others. read more

I initially went into Cafeteria Mallorca only because the famous La Bombonera was closed (indefinitely).

The ham and swiss mallorca is as good as everyone says!! Loved the dusting of powdered sugar on top. A perfect balance of savory and sweet. Best breakfast we had in town, hands down. Also got a guava paste pastry, which tasted pretty good. Lemonade was sweet, tart, and fresh and their cafe con leche is pretty damn good too. We opted for bar seats mid morning, around 10am and the service was friendly and very fast. Seats filled up pretty quickly around us, although turnover was quick. Affordable prices and a seemingly good spot for pastries. Definitely have some mallorca!! read more

I was looking for a quick lunch and wandered in. The place was crowded but it looked like everything was running fairly smoothly so I decided to stay. The waiters were rushing to help everyone and I ordered fairly quickly. Just a Mallorca con jamon y queso and limonada for a small lunch. The food was great - somewhere inbetween a street vendor and a quick service restaurant - perfect. Then everyone disappeared. The lunch rush was apparently over and so island time took over and the waiters were no where to be found. I decided to go pay after waiting for about 15 minutes and that's when the waiter reappeared and quickly provided the check and all was well. read more

What a waste of my time...I found the only grumpy person in all OSJ, and it happened to be my waiter. Not only he didn't say hello to me after I said it to him. He would talk to my husband and not me...??? I felt I was having a conversation by myself. He was also rude to everyone else. I ordered the pimiento relleno con arroz y habichuelas. After I asked for a recommendation (which he ignored, but a local next to me was eating that and it was as delicious as it looked). He actually spoke to tell me that the tip or tax wasn't included on the ticket. No manners at all. I would of like to tried other dishes there, but he left such a horrible impression on us. What a shame :( read more

Arroz con calamares: thumbs way up Dorado con tostones: delicious although no frills, needs lime or some spice/garlic Arros con longunizas: tasty, but like more spice like chorizo Chuleta con arroz y platanos.

This was the only place open early enough in the morning while I stayed in San Juan so I have to give this place some props. I walked passed it about four times before I realized I had to wait another hour before any other place was going to open. The decor isn't very welcoming and reminds me of an old school diner, but I had no choice. As I walked in, I was told to grab a seat and was given water and a menu immediately. I was excited to try PR cafe con leche and a mallorca so that was the first thing I ordered. Overall, it got the job done even though I've come to realize that PR food isn't my thing so I may be a bit unfair in this review. If you're a tourist and expect to have an early start in the San Juan area, just go here and get some grub. Go to the other spots to experience "better" meals. read more

Came in for lunch since I was looking for a place to eat while exploring old san juan. I was hungry and the showcases of bread/pastries by the window lured me in. After looking at menu, I ended up not getting the sandwiches(mallorca) I originally wanted to try out, instead I was craving for beef of some sort so I ordered the skirt steak with saute onions served with my choice of rice and beans. It was ok; meat was a little fatty. My friend enjoyed her chicken mofongo with creole sauce, said sauce was tastier than the garlic sauce at a nearby restaurant near our hotel. Their coffee con leche was very good and strong. read more

We popped in for a quick lunch - service had been a real bummer in San Juan so far (not Old San Juan). We sat at the bar and were served quickly, our server was really friendly. I was given a Cuban sandwich by mistake (ordered the bacon and egg sandwich) and whoa, what a happy accident. They seem to slow-cook the ham, the bread was fantastic, fries were exactly what you hope to get in a diner. ALSO, please please please do yourself a favor if you go, order the cheese flan ala mode - I wasn't a flan fan until this place. I tried to go back later that day to have it again for dinner (yes) but they were closed. Get the flan! If not for you, do it for me! read more

Five stars because for local breakfast/pastries it is the BEST! Its in Old San Juan. Nothing fancy, exclusive, or impeccable, but yes clean and delicious. Used to come here very often with my mom to have " la mallorca con queso de papa, y un chocolate caliente." A Mallorca is a sweet bread with powder sugar on top. Here, they are always extremely fresh and they can toast them and put butter and cheese inside, make sandwiches with it, you name it. A piece of heaven, truly. There are a ton of other pastry shops in this area, but nothing beats this place. So many memories, too. read more

A short wait in line - this traditional Old San Juan favorite draws crowds - but well worth it. No frills, old school spot with unflappable counter service, strong cafe con leche, and a great mallorca sandwich. What's a mallorca, you ask? Sort of like a Cuban style sandwich, pressed to perfection, but here it is dusted on top with confectioner's sugar. I had the egg, cheese, and ham version and the blend of salty and sweet was an excellent way to start the day before walking up the hill to the never ceases to amaze El Morro. A trumpeter seated at the door serenaded the room with holiday favorites. Leave a buck for him on your way out! read more

Run of the mill Puerto Rican diner with some delicious mallorca, which is basically sweet bread with powdered sugar used to make egg, ham, cheese, butter, etc. sandwiches that are grilled in what resembles a panini press. I tried the plain cheese mallorca and the ham egg and cheese, which I liked much better. It's odd, having a sweet breakfast sandwich, but it really works. Perfect place for a low key breakfast while you're out being a tourist or a quick snack in between the two forts. read more

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.

We visited on a Monday night without a reservation and almost didn't get a table. The hostess was incredibly kind and explained that there was an 8:00 p.m. reservation that hadn't been confirmed. She offered to seat us if the party didn't arrive within the grace period. Thankfully, they never showed up, and the table became ours. From that point on, everything was fantastic. The food was spectacular, and the service was just as impressive. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is charming and inviting--it really does feel like dining in a cozy "casita." If you're visiting San Juan, Casita Miramar is absolutely worth a visit. Great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience.

It was recommended by one of our tour guides so it is a great option for both locals and tourists. It had a nice atmosphere and very large menu with many different types of options. The Frutti di mare was one of the best pastas I've ever had! It had almost every type of seafood you could want. A great option for someone who wants to try a bit of everything. It was large enough to satisfy you but not too large where you have to take leftovers it back to your hotel. It also came with a salad and delicious bread. My husband ordered the yucafongo pollo, and was very impressed. It was also filling and well made. The drink menu also had a lot of options. I went with the sangria which was super tasty! It's more on the fruity side. Our service was great and we didn't have to wait long for a table or our food, although it seemed busy.

The service was a little confusing at first. We were seated and expected to access the menu through a QR code, which wasn't immediately explained to us. We initially expected traditional menus, so there was a bit of uncertainty before we realized how the ordering process worked. We were also seated near one of the air conditioning units, which made some members of our party feel a bit cold during the meal. However, once the food arrived, all of those concerns quickly disappeared. The food was incredible. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, every dish at the table was delicious. The arroz con pollo was honestly the best I have ever had in my life. It was perfectly seasoned, comforting, and packed with flavor. Every bite felt like authentic Puerto Rican cooking at its best. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and it made for a wonderful birthday dinner for my wife. While the service experience could be a little clearer and some seating areas may be colder than others, the quality of the food more than makes up for those minor issues. I would absolutely return on a future visit to Puerto Rico.

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.

I was really craving fried snapper, but unfortunately, it was too large for me to eat by myself. To my disappointment, it was served family style, and my family wasn't in the mood for fish. Instead, we ordered several items from the menu, including stew chicken, fried pork chops, which my son really enjoyed. 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. In fact, that was the only meal we had that day. If you're ever in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a hidden gem tucked away on a side street. You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to go back.

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.

For drinks, we tried the Passionfruit Mule (insanely refreshing and tasty), Sangria (different than what we've seen before, but still tasty), and a Passionfruit Mojito (best drink of the 3 and I loved that they left the seeds as well). We started with the Small Sampler, which came with one meat (we chose pork), sorullos, bacalaitos, cheese balls, and empanadadillas of beef and cheese. It was a great way to try some new foods without getting too much. I especially loved the pork and sorullos. For entrees, I got the Octopus Salad with Tostones and my guy got the Skirt Steak. The steak was cooked and seasoned beyond perfection and melted in your mouth like butter. The octopus salad was my favorite octopus of the trip and reminded me of the octopus salad I used to get when I was younger. It also paired perfectly with the tostones.

San Juan's best ham-cheese mallorca with uncha-uncha musica-fest In the past, we talked about food that can be portable and REALLY good. Ladies and Gentlemen-I give you the Mallorca. Basically, this is a heavy pancake/bread that is either toasted or grilled with butter, then meat/cheese melted together in the middle, then heavily dusted w/ powdered sugar. Sweet, salty, savory-all the great things in life. Ham and cheese mallorca The Mallorca, usually eaten for breakfast, is VERY popular even with locals! In San Juan, there are two well-known places. Shockingly, both are on San Francisco and about 2 blocks from each other. La Bombonera is a bit more famous (Supposedly by Andrew Zimmerer and Rachel Ray). Blah. La Bombonera-dont waste your time But our staff's favorite restaurant and order? San Juan's finest - Cafe Mallorca: Ham and cheese Mallorca w/ Cafe please! Most authentic, more local, staff no speaky english, not alot of tourists (most important), and a bonus of an all-day storefront musica-fest (uncha-uncha) by an old guy (cue @ggretchko musical beatboxing). Cafeteria Mallorca - best bet Happy Aloha Friday everyone! read more

We used to enjoy coming to eat here or pick up Mallorcas. However, we walked in a waiter had an attitude that someone was standing in his way and the lady in the front had an even more disgusting attitude. We asked about taking food to go and she told us we needed to order at the counter but with a tone and attitude as if we were bothering her. We went to the counter but decided to instead just get Mallorcas to go since the guy at the counter was really busy. We went back to the lady in the front and my mom asked her for Mallorcas to go and she blatantly ignored my mother. Its extremely frustrating and sad. We will no longer patron Mallorca. read more

Can be a bit busy for breakfast as it's popular with tourist and locals alike but worth it. Since its busy the service can be a little slow but they do fine. Don't wait to be seated just go and take a table. Saw bunch of tourist come in and expect to be seated... Don't bother with that. Mallorcas is what you want. They are awesome. Its a bit dirty so if that bothers you get it to go as its good walking around food. Pastries looked good and many locals got them to go but I didn't get a chance to try them. read more
