    Medalla beer
    Larry B.

    We found this place while walking around the port area, offshore from a cruise. They have a very fun atmosphere with lots of decorative art. We ordered the fish tacos, pork sliders and fish nuggets. The fried tilapia fish tacos were excellent, as well as the pork sliders with pickled onions. Their homemade rum sauce on the sliders was very good. The mahi-mahi fish nuggets were excellent, and they said the fish was caught fresh that morning; it sure tasted like it, too! The Medalla beer was served very cold in a bottle. Service was excellent, she was very friendly and helpful. We are so glad we found this restaurant. Definitely worth a visit!

    Mojitos, tostones and arroz con candules. Nice ambience, fast service and tasty food. We sat at the bar and had a couple of appetizers.

    Mofongo

    If you're looking to waste your time, kill your appetite, and test your patience this is the place! They took over an hour just to bring a water and a Coke. We waited TWO HOURS for cold rice and chicken so dry & hard to bite. The mofongo with skirt steak? Sopa de aceite, no flavor just platanos drowning in oil! A heart attack waiting to happen. And the steak? Might as well have handed us chicle, each piece took 30 minutes to chew. Honestly, I've had better meals in microwaved leftovers.This was disrespectful to my tastebuds & my pockets. 0/10

    The mixologist was very friendly and knowledgeable... He created some delicious drink drinks with all natural fruit juices it was also helpful as to where we can go for some nightlife.

    Decor was cute

    I wanted to like this place and this is my honest review, When we went they were missing like half their menu including their burger they said the avocado isn't in season and that's why, but they have a restaraunt right by this spot which has no issue serving me avocado the next day. They also had a kid burger and it was huge. It was red on the inside. My daughter who isn't a picky eater didn't eat it. My MIL got pasta and her pasta was good, my man got a mofongo with yuca and it was very good. The service was extremely extremely slow... they couldn't find a Heineken at first then they found one. I was a little irritated with how slow the service was. The food that was ordered besides the burger was good. I don't know what's up with half the menu missing and when I asked for cafe con leche as I have 3 littles with me she said the machine was broken. If they don't have coffee , and they don't have avocado and they missing half a menu they should remake the menu with items they do have. I got flustered after ordering coffee and being told the machine was broke then being told there is no avocado in season, yet I eat avocado at every other location I ate stuffed avocado at Raices the next day. So when she asked if I still want something I gave up ordering food and just took bites of my man and his mother's food. I was scared to be told again we don't have what's on the menu and I was embarrassed to keep trying to order food. Unfortunately because of this I wouldn't go back unless it was to run inside for a drink. I do appreciate a food truck in these situations. Eating out is so much money and I really look to spend my money at places that take their establishment seriously. I felt like I was being messed with I don't know is the cafe machine really broken. I won't be back.

    Rude staff. Extremely slow. Food around us looked bad. Stayed for one drink that lasted an hour cause no one would help us.

    Paella - Mofongo
    Ashlea D.

    Absolutely phenomenal Mofongo! Delicious paella. Excellent wait staff. Highly recommend.

    Food was really good, we got the crispy chicken con habichuela con arroz, however the service was not top tier.

    Oily Mofongo

    The absolute worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. We waited over 3 hours for our food. The food was disgusting. I ordered Mofongo and it was so oily it looked like soup. Our drinks were completely watered down, the server said,"oh I forgot to give it to you, but it was made so you still have to pay for it." We would also ask him for napkins and he would say "oh yes, but I have another table to take care of." As if we also aren't paying customers. Please do not waste your time. Go next door to raíces or any other place around there. But save your time and money.

    Chicken Tacos
    JL H.

    Looks can be deceiving. Had the Arroz con Grandules, which was gummy and inedible, along with tough, chewy Bistec (steak) Tacos and bland, unsavory Chicken Tacos. Also had Pork Sliders that were room temperature at best and need MORE seasoning. HATE when tortillas are NOT grilled! No one wants to eat insipid flour. The Chicken Empanadas were actually juicy and flavorful. The Passionfruit Mojito and Pina Colada that was supposed to have spiced Rum but it tasted like watered down Coconut. Service was rudimentary but inattentive. Saw a young lady chef come out. She should have her Abuela give a refresher because her cooking was very "youthful."

    My friends and I were walking through the rainy, hot and humid streets of Old San Juan and needed a break from the heat and humidity. We saw Muelle 13 with a cool aesthetic and decided to stop for drinks and appetizers. Our friend let one of the servers know that we were a group of six. She was not very friendly and acted as though we were troubling her by asking for such a large table. She did go inside and came back to let us know they had a table for us. We were seated and luckily our server was much friendlier. Unfortunately, after bringing our orders, he was not really present. However, our orders did come out, slowly. I had a tropical drink called Isla de la Tortuga and my husband had a watermelon cocktail. They were both pretty good. Unfortunately, I did not like the food at all. The croquetas and crab cakes were over cooked and overly breaded. I shared with my husband, but could not eat my portion. We also shared the pork sliders, which had a slightly stale flavor. I left most of mine on my plate. We may have stayed for a second round of drinks, but by that point our server was absent. My friend got her ketchup when her fries were already almost gone. We decided to ask for our check, but the servers were having some sort of a meeting in the front of the restaurant. We were about to walk up and interrupt, but finally were able to get our check. Anyway, bad food and poor service... do not recommend.

    Old fashion

    Decided to try this spot while in San Juan. Very nice and attentive staff. Atmosphere was great, and food/drinks were excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner experience.

    Wandering Old San Juan at sunset looking for a great place for dinner and stumbled upon Muelle 13. From the moment we walked in they were welcoming, made great craft cocktails and mofongo! Had my favorite mamopasteo and theirs was delicious. A great vibe, great staff and well crafted food and drinks! We are staying for two weeks but I fully recommend for cruise goers, not far from the port!

Upon entering the restaurant we got seated immediately. We sat outside on the patio because the view is phenomenal. It took awhile for the waitress to come out and take our order. Maybe because we were hungry. Honestly though, I feel it was enough time to look over the menu and make the right decision as to what to order. The environment is so calm with the sound of the waves and the breeze coming through the open windows. It might be too much for some ( like my cousin ) but I love it. So our food came along in a decent amount of time. Our drinks first. We both got Passion fruit juice. 10 OUT OF 10 . I got the grouper with rice and beans. 10 out of 10 AGAIN (This place can't miss) the different flavors bursting on my pallet is just what I like. All the different sautéed vegetables in the top of the fish was a great call and super necessary. My cousin for the lobster mofongo. It had soooooooooooo much lobster in it. OMG and seasoned very well. That's not really my thing but it had seafood and looked so good and was dripping with the sauce I couldn't resist. The fried fish were had for an appetizer was seasoned and fried to perfection. I highly recommend this place. Is my fourth time here. I don't have PR without coming here.

    Worst wait staff I have ever met honestly…read more We arrived at 5:18 and waited 90 minutes to get the food. It was insane!! Juice order had to be taken twice since they forgot. If it was exceptional food, it is one thing but this is below average at best. #WORST

We entered, every server was busy, we saw one empty high table, settled ourselves and ordered fish tacos, Chicken Empanadillas, and a couple of drinks (Mojito & beer). Fish tacos were really good, the best we had in the old San Juan area. we were there for 50 odd minutes and went to another bar. the ambiance was good but can't say the same about service but as I said above- this is the scene in every other bar in that street. so this is normal there. also, happy hour is from 3 to 8 (like other bars) one thing to keep in mind- whatever the restaurant/bar/pub you visit in this area - your food order gonna take time, as these all are mostly there for drinks, of course, food items are there in the menu, but it's gonna more then usual time, so if you are hungry, try other restaurants. Bar-restaurant in San Sebastian street- these are good for a couple of drinks & bar hopping. Note: To enter, they are asking for CDC Card (for vaccine check). You can also show a digital copy/Photo of it.

Flavorful AF and even tastier with the hot sauce, so definitely get the hot sauce. They have happy hour from 3 to 8 - got tasty Mojitos and Pina Coladas. Also tried their little shots of frozen slushies for a $1 each - really liked the tamarind one. Also, I highly recommend and would double down on the Paellitas. If you've had Paella in Spain, these Paellitas are the mini-version-don't-wanna-share as they are smaller in portion. However, it was well seasoned and the 3 pieces of shrimp on top were fat and plump (just how I like my shrimp!). Sit by the front and you can also people watch to your heart's content. That's what we did and we ended up making friends with randos that stopped by.

The wait was usual for Old San Juan. About 30-45mins. They take your name down and call you when there's a table ready. What they don't tell you is that the menu is a QR code on the table. Once you figure that you see a well organized and simple 2 pages menu with many PR authentic dishes listed. The waiter comes about 10-15mins later. And it's best to have all your order ready as they don't come back very often. The place is usually packed all the hours that they're open. Food: that's why they lost a star. Rice and beans, Madurai/amarrillos, scurrilous, delicious 5 stars, but the bigger, empanada, chicken with garlic lack the bite that you come to expect of PR food! They lack taste, "Sazon", they were bland and tasted more like someone forgot to season them and forgot the garlic. I'd tell them to go back to their food and make PR food like it's supposed to taste, not for the tourist, please!

    After a year I think is time to give this review a well deserved update. I keep coming back to this…read moreplace, I really love it--its one of those places that just gets it right! They offer a variety of herbal cocktail, with unique flavors and creative takes. My husband had a mezcal-base drink with herbs and he loved it--so much that he ended up having a few haha... I went for the classic Old Fashion which was OK, not great. I switched to a Moscow Mule after and that one was really good. Verde Mesa wins you over with freshness, balance, and a clear point of view rooted in farm-to-table cooking. Dishes feel vibrant, intentional and thoughtfully composed rather than heavy or overly manipulated. With that said, we began with the Kumamoto oyster, fresh and sweet. Then we had one of their classics, the sourdough toast with spread. This time they served it deconstructed--bread on the side and the spread separate-- and honestly, I like it better. The bread stays perfectly toasted, and you can built it yourself exactly how you want. The ribeye tartare was a pleasant surprise--rich, flavorful and paired with 'platanutres' (plantain chips) on the side, which complimented it really well. The only small note is that the chips were a bit too small to really build a proper bite with the tartare on top. Maybe using mariquitas would make that pairing even better. Also the tuna tiradito was well balanced with passion fruit, sesame seed vinaigrette and 'ají'. For mains, I had the pork cheeks stew, which was incredibly tender, soft and packed with flavor-- definitely a standout. My mom had the seared yellowfin tuna that came beautifully plated and the tuna had a vibrant red color that looked so appetizing. She really enjoy it, and said it was amazing. My husband had the mahi mahi fillet that came on a white cabbage stew and fish broth--he said he'll come back just for that single dish, that's how much he liked it. We saved some room for dessert and tried the tembleque and the tiramisu. The tembleque wasn't the most traditional version, but it had a subtle ginger hint that really worked and made it feel a bit more elevated. The tiramisu was also a great way to end the meal, creamy and indulgent. Overall, I would said the food matches the space-- artistic, cozy and a little whimsical. It's the kind of place where you slow down and enjoy each plate rather than rush through a meal.

Everything was very good, but it felt a little expensive for what it was. That said, the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the service made for a great overall experience.
