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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
Day 2 in Puerto Rico and I have to tell you the secret to a scrumptious breakfast, shhhhhs don't tell anyone-Pinky swear! Pinky's is the perfect little breakfast spot to sit and enjoy a wholesome meal. The location is small so avoid taking large groups to dine in. However, there is a carry-out option. Service: the staff were pretty friendly. Ambiance: I love that this spot captured the history of its owners and past visitors but it gives such a California vibes in PR. Beverages: I can honestly say that their Café con leche hit the spot and was creamy and well brewed. Food: My dish: Boricua Especial Four eggs, green peppers, onions, tomato, Spanish chorizo, cheddar cheese, and boricua style side toast. Cost: $10.50 Portion: enough for 2 people! It's packed with flavor and beyond filling. I enjoyed every bite. Visitors be warned, the toast on the side was buttery and deadly, you'd want to eat all of the slices lol My boyfriend's dish: Pinky's Breakfast Sandwich Puerto Rican baguette, three fried eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, bolo ham, and pinky's garlic pesto mayo. Cost: $10.50 Portion: once again, these portions are huge and my boyfriend brought half of his sandwich back to the hotel. He loved his sandwich but raved about my dish more. He said that his sandwich had a lot of bread but he enjoyed the eggs and bolo ham. Overall, I rate Pinky's a solid 10 for a comfy and delectable culinary experience.

So glad we found this place! Came back two days in a row for the Pinky's breakfast sandwich. Took half to the beach for later. Our server was real sweet, can't say the same for the guy behind the counter. Real small place with 8 tables total but we didn't have to wait long either day. They also do Togo orders. Would highly recommend this place and will be bal every time! read more

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!! read more

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 read more

We were staying nearby and trying to find a good place for breakfast which wasn't too expensive or touristy. We're glad we found Pinky's! Here are some observations: - The place is super small...it seemed challenging for them to seat even a group of four...so plan accordingly (maybe order take out if you have a larger group?). - We lucked out (around 9am on a Thursday morning) and got seated right away, but it got crowded soon afterward. - Even though the menu doesn't list drip coffee, they will do a coffee Americana for you...at $3 per cup (no automatic refills). - The food was the bomb...some of the best breakfast entrees we've had in a long while. My wife and I both split the Breakfast Sandwich and the Boricua Special. The Boricua was a huge portion, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The sandwich was incredible, especially with the thick bacon and amazing bread. - Service was good. Bottom line: We're already looking for a day when we can return to Pinky's, and, if we do, we'll make sure to get their early. read more

While in PR for a couple of days, I had breakfast at Pinky's TWICE on my trip. The breakfast sandwiches are the best here! Big portions and the bread is toasted to perfection. You cannot go wrong with any combo. The service was great. It's a small location but they have plenty of seating inside and outside. There might be a short line to be seated, but they also offer takeout! A staple every time I go visit. read more

Pinky's has been on my list for some time now, so when I had the opportunity I definitely took it! When we pulled up, there was a pretty long line so we waited in line for a little and then asked if we could take it to go. They said yes, but did let us know that if a table cleared up, we could not change our mind. It was a pretty small restaurant, about 3-4 tables so we understood. We proceeded to order a ham, egg, and cheese Mallorca and a passion fruit juice (not pictured). The passion fruit juice was watery, and wouldn't necessarily recommend. However, the Mallorca was everythinggggg. So fresh, full of flavor, and great portions! It was sweet, savory, and hot! Topped with powder sugar, it was perfection. I could only finish half of the sandwich and saved the other half for later. It was definitely something I would come back for! read more

Stopped by for brunch and had a great experience! The place is super cute but small, with limited seating, so I'd recommend getting there early. That said, service is quick--we only waited about 10 minutes. The menu has a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. The smoothies are huge and totally worth it. And the hot sauce? Easily my favorite on the island. Definitely a 10/10! read more
My favorite sandwich shop and smoothies. My go-to is always the classic smoothie that has papaya and banana. Got here Sunday morning around 9:30am and got seated quickly. Service was fast and portion of food + smoothie was plenty. I always come back every time I'm in PR read more

Really cool spot! We each got a smoothie and honestly we could have shared one, they give you the container it was mixed in so it's like 2 servings per order. I got the Mallorca and it was delicious! Such a good combo of sweet and savory. We also got the Puerto Rican plate with bacon because they were out of longoniza. No complaints about anything it was a great restaurant read more

Came for breakfast early on a Thursday morning. This is a small place. There was plenty of seating when we got there around 9am, but it got veryyy busy after that. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. Very fresh and they had some garlic sauces, mayochup, and hot sauce to go with it. The smoothie came in a blender and was very good too. read more

Pinky's was the only breakfast we ate while on vacation. My boyfriend and I both got the bagel breakfast sandwich. She cooked the bacon hard like we requested. I liked the sandwich, if you're not a hot mayonnaise person don't get this. My mayonnaise had already soaked into the bread but my boyfriends didn't he didn't pay attention to the mayonnaise part and ended up taken it off with a paper towel. The person taking our order was very helpful. I almost ordered raw salmon and she explained what it was to me. It's very pink inside hence the name. We took our breakfast to go, seating was limited it's a nice little place though. read more
