    boricua surfer and green smoothie both
    Neida P.

    This place is small so the line gets long to eat there but you can always take the food to go which is what we did! The service was great the lady checking us out was so sweet. I ordered a boricua surfer and a green smoothie both were sooo delicious. I loved the combo of turkey cheese basil and platanos in my sandwich! My friend ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel and it was little greasy but so delicious too! definitely a great brunch option.

    Great breakfast sandwich and coffee. My English and really bad broken Spanish from high school was enough to talk to the pretty cool staff. Pretend you're not a tourist and you'll love this spot. Small hole in the wall feel, take 1 or 2 people.

    Pinky's Breakfast Sandwich + avocado | 4/27/2023
    Samantha C.

    Barely any room to dine in, but we did manage to snag very small table for our party of 4. If it's really busy, its best to just order take away. I got the Pinky's Breakfast Sandwich with avocado and this was GOOD! Everything was made to order and came out pipping hot. My friends and I finished everything on our plates which says a lot because we never do. Really enjoyed the food here and would totally come back if visiting again.

    Vitamin C Batida

    Very small/limited capacity but luckily was not busy for lunch. We got the Vitamin C Batida, a Bocadillo, and Boricua surfer. All was delicious and the house made hot sauce was an incredible addition. Also love that the Batida comes in the blender so you get a free refill!!

    Mallorca Sandwich

    Grabbed breakfast and coffee here before our Rainforest tour and they did not disappoint. It's a small cute spot, but can be very busy so I would suggest to get it to go. The coffee was strong, just how I like it, and portions large enough to split. I got the Mallorca sandwich was very savory but very delicious.

    Very good- eggs, bacon, goat cheese, and cheddar in wheat tortilla- Sassy Sailor

    What's that ol' stand up line? If the place was any smaller I'd have to go outside to change my mind! This place is tiny in size but mighty in the food it produces. Amazing. We were fortunate to time our arrival just in time to snag a table before a crowd gathered. Our spot was just outside the front door in the vestibule off the sidewalk. There's a vast menu of juices and smoothies and most entrees come with several eggs- like 4 or 6. Lipitor needs a side, I indulged and will adjust my diet when I return home. I ordered the Sassy Sailor and was very happy about the choice. I didn't finish it, though- GIANT burrito. The staff aren't going to win any awards for friendliness but it works. There was no hovering and no "did everything come out ok?" We were stay near by- on this end of Condado and would walk there again in a heartbeat/ provided my cardiologist signs off on it.

    This has low key become my favorite restaurant in San Juan. I've tried multiple things on the menu and everything is good including the shakes. The service is always top notch, and even though the eating area is small it's worth the wait

    Mallorca breakfast sandwich

    The serving sizes here are nuts haha. Pinky's is perfect for a big breakfast before heading to the beach for the day, you won't be hungry for a WHILE. Our server was really sweet. She was also strict lol, the rule about not taking a table when you're waiting for takeout is serious. She made sure people weren't taking up space when patrons were waiting to dine in. The inside isn't large, roughly 4-5 tables inside and 5-6 tables outside. I had the Mallorca breakfast sandwich and it was really good! If i got it again, I think I'd ask for half the cheese. They don't skimp on the cheese at Pinky's. If you need a bit of grease (for a hangover or otherwise ), this is a great sandwich to fill your stomach. My matcha was good with oat milk, and brown sugar was provided for me to sweeten to my taste. Would recommend!

    This was our last meal in PR and one of their signature pastry breakfast sandwich that they are known for. Man it was sooo good. Wish I can find a local place that has this. It had the perfect sweet and salty mix. The service was great and its a small place almost like a hole in a wall but the food was amazing!

    Lilia Z.

    Pinky's was overall delicious! The mallorca was on my must-try list, and it definitely met my expectations. It was sweet, savory, and filling. Service was friendly, though our server was busy attending to all the tables. The space is tiny, so there was a bit of a wait, but honestly, I wouldn't mind waiting when we visit PR again :)

    A musttttttt! The Mallorca sándwich was everythinggggg! The fresh juices were so delicious too

    Boricua Especial
    Dana W.

    25 year+ San Juan Breakfast favorite and it's easy to see why this spot stays highly rated. They keep it affordable (dishes ranging from $8.50-$16.50), use fresh ingredients, and definitely know how to serve up a filling breakfast without breaking the budget. The customer service was great too, which always makes the experience even better. We tried the viral Mallorca Breakfast Sandwich, the Boricua Especial, and the Drunken Pilot--and we'd absolutely recommend all three. It's a smaller spot and fills up fast, so don't be surprised if there's a wait... but trust us, it's worth it. We loved that while we were waiting, they were proactive and took our order ahead of time so that we didn't have to wait long for our food once we sat. This never happens so this was a point in our book. There are a few locations in San Juan but we visited the Calle Loiza location. This place is cozy and comfy; worth the visit for sure.

    French toast!

    Let's talk about Pinky's -- the tiny breakfast spot in Puerto Rico with a line out the door and a wait time that was... optimistic at best. The waitress cheerfully told us "20 minutes," which she also told every person behind us. Cute. But, against all logic, we stuck it out. (Spoiler: It was way more than 20 minutes.) Luckily, there's a dispensary conveniently located across the street, so, you know... silver linings. Once we finally squeezed into this postage-stamp-sized restaurant (seriously, five tables--FIVE?!), we got down to business. The food and portions? Absolute fire. Most of us went for the bagel sandwiches stacked with crispy bacon and the perfect single egg, while one brave soul tackled the towering stack of French toast--and finished it like a boss. Respect. A couple of notes: No drip coffee, just espresso shots. But honestly? No complaints--the espresso was delicious and strong enough to revive the soul. The $5 fruit smoothies? Absolute perfection. Whatever secret ingredient they're adding, I fully support it. Would I do it again? Yes. Would I believe them if they said "20-minute wait" next time? Absolutely not. But with so many friends hyping this place up, I can now say I co-sign. Pinky's, you were wild--but totally worth it.

We sat down for dinner at 7:45 and did not receive our drinks until 8:20, even though we put in our order as soon as we sat down... and asked politely how much longer until our drinks would come out... twice. Food did not come out for an hour and half, it was cold by the time we got it. Mac and cheese is not great cold. The ribs are extremely overcooked and like eating beef jerky. Drinks were okay, but by the time we got them everyone's cocktails were watered down, as well as the soft drinks. The ambiance was not great either since everyone around us was visibly frustrated by the wait times and lack of service, a table across flagged the waitress multiple times to ask where their stuff was. The food was decent, but again, cold. The wait times were no joke. We wrapped up our 7:45 dinner around 10, simply because of how long it took to be served. Our waitress came to our table maybe 3 times total, we would have to stand and find her to figure out where our food/drinks were. They were also out of a good majority of items on the menu when we tried to order them. Overall I unfortunately don't recommend! Price, service, and food are not great.

I was so excited because I'd heard so many great things, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Be aware that this is a very small restaurant with only about 15-20 seats, so it fills up quickly. We arrived with no wait, but by the time we were eating, there was already a long line outside. Also, if you're in a hurry, this may not be the best choice. Everything is made fresh from scratch, so the food does take a while to come out. Service is definitely on island time, but once the food arrives, you'll understand why--it's well worth the wait. I ordered the California Surfer wrap, and wow...it was absolutely amazing! Everyone in our group raved about their meals, and the fresh-squeezed orange juice was out of this world.

It felt so nice after getting overheated right before we got there. One thing I noticed while wandering around Old San Juan is that some restaurants likely survive on location and foot traffic alone, while others earn people seeking them out. Semilla definitely felt like the latter. It's tucked just around the corner from some of the busiest pedestrian areas, so it felt like we escaped the crowds for a little while without actually going very far. Overall, I'd happily come back. If you're staying nearby and looking for a good meal without being surrounded by the busiest tourist crowds, Semilla is well worth checking out.

This is global techniques blended with locally sourced Puerto Rican ingredients. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome. I was there to celebrate my birthday (a reservation is a must). I asked if I could be seated in a different section of the restaurant, and even though they were packed, they said absolutely and found me a lovely seat in the bar area. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I suffer from severe food allergies but wanted to experience their tasting menu. My server spoke to the chef directly and then took the time to walk me through every option. I TRULY appreciated that they did not take anything off the menu but rather told me how they could adjust for my allergies. That is very rare and so very much appreciated that they went that extra mile for me. I highly recommend the tasting menu. It's 5 courses and they give you 3 options to choose from, within each course. And for the price ($85), a great value.

The cocktails were tasty and unique, but a bit small for the price. This definitely isn't an every-night kind of restaurant...the prices are on the higher side.
