    Red snapper fillet with butter and tostones and salad Filete Chillo al ajillo y tostones y ensalada
    Debbie L.

    We arrived around 7:00 for dinner and were seated immediately near the bar. There is seating outside as well. Our waitress promptly came over and greeted us and asked for our order. We ordered drinks first, passion fruit juice and limeade. They were served in mason-type jars and both drinks were perfect, not too sweet or overloaded with ice. There were many dishes we wanted to try, they all sounded yummy! My hubby ordered breaded shrimp with tostones and I chose the red snapper filet with butter and tostones. I was just wondering when our order would arrive and then the server brought our plates. His shrimp was prepared perfectly, not too much breading or over cooked. It was tender and served butterfly style. My filets had onions and peppers along with the butter, just enough to add some extra flavor. It was perfect, flakey and tender. I definitely recommend this place as a good stop for seafood. Parking was next to the restaurant away from the busy street out front

    Not that good. Mosquitoes and stray dogs everywhere. Food was not tasty at all. However, staff was attentive.

    The staff was patient and very nice and the food was fresh! I always stop at least once whenever I visit Puerto Rico!

    I have a winter home in Rincon and have found Rincon Boricua's lunch special to be the authentic…read morecomida criolla (local dishes). Good service, always friendly and the location provides an open air atmosphere with ample parking. A must not only for visitors but for the locals as well.

    Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. After placing my order, I waited…read moreapproximately 44 minutes for my food to arrive. When the Churrasco Mofongo ($27.99) finally came out, the portion size was surprisingly small and did not reflect the price at all. For nearly $28, I expected a much more substantial serving and better overall value. What made the experience even more frustrating was that I also ordered four pastelitos at $2.99 each, and those ended up providing more food and better value than the $27.99 Churrasco Mofongo. It's hard to justify paying nearly $28 for an entrée when a few appetizers totaling less than half the price leave you feeling like you received more for your money. To make matters worse, the staff was largely inattentive throughout the visit. It was difficult to get anyone's attention, there were no updates regarding the long wait, and customer service felt like an afterthought, only because the question "Can I have an update on my order" was asked to the staff. A 44-minute wait can be understandable during busy times, but keeping customers informed goes a long way, especially when multiple families sat, ate, and left before receiving the order. Overall, despite the churrasco mofongo tasting really good, between the excessive wait time, the lack of attentiveness from staff, and the disappointing portion size, I left feeling that the meal was not worth the price. I hope management takes a closer look at both the service and the value being provided to customers.

    Casita Miramar absolutely lived up to the hype. It was at the top of my foodie list while visiting…read moreSan Juan, Puerto Rico, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. 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.

    A gem. Sat outside & had a great night. Food, vibes, & service were all wonderful. Started out with…read morea complimentary soup & cod fritters (yummmy! & I don't even like fish, usually). The hot sauce on the table was nice, not too hot but a good kick, I usually do not like habanero based hot sauces but this was good! The Queso Frito was interesting in flavors & textures, delicious. El Conflicto was perfect, all the flavor of a pina colada but without the heaviness of syrups & sugar. The Pollo Borracho was super flavorful & filling, chicken cooked to perfection falling off the bone. My fiancé had the Carne Frita, it was super tender & a well balanced dish. Service was friendly & attentive. My only complaint- we were so full we couldn't even look at the dessert menu! Guess we will just have to go back.
