The service was fast despite how busy they were, and several tacos were on special for only $3. The tacos were packed with filling, meat tender and flavorful, and tortillas were homemade. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. My favorite items were tacos Al Pastor and Gringas with crunchy cheese outside. Both incredibly delicious. The frozen watermelon margarita was also a standout and paired perfectly with the meal. It wasn't overly sweet. Great food, great atmosphere and great value, at least on Tuesday's haha... Coming back for sure!

We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2.

The server was accommodating and got us a seat for our party of 4 very quickly. I believe it was a one man show that night and he was running between all the tables, but was very efficient and had a great attitude which made any waiting we might've had to do worth while. The inside was clean and had a good vibe with nice music playing. Our table shared as an appetizer the green chile ceviche, which was very good and could itself be enough for a main meal for two people. My wife got the quesa-birria tacos and I got the governor shrimp tacos. All were great meal choices, the tacos were stuffed with meat and very filling. A great spot for people looking for some tasty Mexican food in San Juan.

Ordenamos las tostadas de camarones (mi plato favorito), tacos de pescado, y los frijoles. Todo estaba sabroso. Las porciones y el precio eran muy razonables.

The order of beans was also good, reminded me of my childhood meals lol. Space is tight, but you'll get seated quickly as the staff are pretty attentive. Prices are pretty reasonable and the portions are fair.

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.

My Husband and I are in Puerto Rico to celebrate our 40th anniversary…read more Besides Puerto Rican food we decided to try TomatePR because we love Mexican and the reviews were great. We were married in Zihuataneho Mexico, were spoiled with good Mexican food living in Chicago, and find after moving outside Nashville, we have craved better Mexican food, so we came here. Gina came to our table to make sure all was OK with wait staff, and food we were eating. Well, it was MORE than OK! Food was wonderful, made fresh, and all questions and requests were answered. She did make us feel like "old friends", and after a long incredible dinner, she offed us 2 tequila shots, and played our "special married song" for our special anniversary. We both had tears in our eyes as that was so special. She took photos for Facebook (but we do not belong) so we are hoping she texts them to my husband who gave her our number. Thank you Gina, all the people who took care of us. Please go there for an excellent meal, margaritas, and the best service. We are going to try to go back before this vacation ends. G&B

We were craving some street style tacos and saw the great reviews from my fellow yelpers! We enjoyed the shredded tinga tacos and the carne asada. I preferred the carne asada over the shredded tinga tacos. The queso was pretty good but probably would have been worth it to add the chorizo for a little extra flavor. The chips were a little thicker than I prefer, but definitely hand made in the restaurant. The service was great, all of the employees were so nice and we got our drinks and food quickly! Seating is indoor and outdoor. This restaurant would be good for larger groups as they have some larger tables. We will be back! There was plenty of street parking, but no dedicated parking lot.

Prices are all very reasonable. Most tacos are around $15 for three and come with a generous portion of rice and beans. The michelada was good and the chips and salsa were a phenomenal app for only $2. They gave three types of salsa, all were excellent but my favorite was the salsa verde. Portion was very generous - it could have been half the size and I would still say it was a good value. Tacos were filling and warm. The rice was a little bland I thought, but was a nice accompaniment nonetheless. The corn tortillas fell apart a bit but the filling was sooo delicious that I ended up just eating it separately. The place itself is really cool on the inside with a lot of interesting art. I wish they had wifi so I could have sat and hung out for a bit! Would definitely go back.

They delivered fast each time we had it 2 nights in a row. If you are visiting PR and are wanting authentic tacos and burritos - look no further! The flavor was truly like no other. I don't even look at burritos in America the same. The sauces were hand made everything was made to order. Without needing to repeat myself for a 3rd time - this is where you want to go if you are in the mood for tacos and or burritos! Lol Not too sure of the ambiance as I did not visit the actual store so the environment could not be predicted BUT I'm sure of the appearance and display of the food presentation it too had to be top notch. Very clean and classy. Definitely going back when I can. Hope they can bring this to the states (yes I know they are apart of us) would love to see this restaurant as a chain locally!

We were brought chips and salsa to munch on while we perused the menu. The chips were stale and definitely not fresh. I liked the salsa, but just a heads up that it's a bit spicy. The food was great other than this. Three of our party had the Tri-Juana which was a taco, burrito, and enchilada. I was told the taco shell was stale, but it was otherwise good. Three of our party had soup (I didn't get any pictures), and they said it was really good. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano sauce. I thought this was incredible. The flavor was rich, and the shredded chicken was cooked just right. It came with rice and refried beans which were also delicious. Most of us had margaritas as well. Their margarita menu is huge. I had the Caribbean Rita was refreshing and hit the spot perfectly. I would definitely have this one again. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was because even though our server was very friendly, the service was incredibly slow. We'd been there for 30 minutes before we even ordered our drinks and food. Our server was visibly busy managing many other tables. I imagine the other servers had been cut due to the time of day, but it was frustrating. (That and the stale chips). The ambiance was nice, and the location right inside the mall, close to the airport, was ideal. I would definitely go back, but I would want to try another time of day to see if the negative factors from today would be better.
