We ended up at Jacinta in La Placita because it had good reviews and an available reservation. At…read morefirst it seemed like a great choice. The space is beautiful with chic interiors, trendy lighting, and a calmer atmosphere than most of the other spots around the plaza. I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. The cocktail I ordered was extremely bitter and not enjoyable, but the real problem was the food. My cod came out rancid and my cousin's lamb was spoiled too. I asked the waitress to take a look and she immediately recoiled, admitted it was bad, and took it away. What upset me even more was that when I asked why it had been served at all, the explanation was that it "wasn't fully rancid, it had just started to ferment." That is no different and absolutely a food safety hazard. I ended up so sick that I vomited in the restaurant trying to get it out of my stomach, and everyone at the table has had horrendous food poisoning since. Two out of four dishes being rotten is unacceptable at any restaurant, let alone one presenting itself as high-end. The setting may be stylish, but none of that matters if the kitchen is serving food that is unsafe to eat. I left feeling disgusted and honestly concerned for anyone else who eats here.

The ambiance was gorgeous with flowers everywhere. Definitely a nice place for pictures or if you feel like dressing up and going somewhere pretty. I also saw a birthday celebration taking place there. (It was a Tuesday late morning when we were there). The food was also incredible. Their menu is long, partly bc it's available in both Spanish and English. We all had coffee drinks. My husband had the Pistachio Coffee which was so good. I started with a restretto (a one-shot of extra strong espresso) which was a good choice for me but definitely only if you love your espresso! I also had a Strawberry Spritz which came in a large glass and was so refreshing and tasty. For our meals, I had the Abocado Toast with Spicy Crab which I loved. It was like taking part of a sushi roll and mixing it with avocado toast which she beat of both worlds for me. Others in my party had the Chicken and Waffles (that topping you see in the picture is mozzarella cheese); someone had the Avocado Toast with Prosciuttio, and someone else had the Eggs Benedict with Prosciuttio. Everyone really liked their food. My husband had the Coconut French Toast, and he had already devoured half of it by the time I got to his for a picture, haha. For my 3-yeqr-old, we ordered grilled chicken which came on a cute heat shaped plate, and it was flavored so well! Definitely some of the best grilled chicken I've had. We were also able to order her a fruit cup of berries, so even without a kids menu we were able to get her a good option to eat. The only downside was the service was incredibly slow. We were placed in a side room (maybe bc we were underdressed? Hahah I don't know, and we actually liked the privacy of the room), but maybe this is why service was slow? Meaning maybe our server forgot about us? I'm not sure, but she was really nice and friendly but just did not check on us for a while at a time. We were there at least 20 minutes before we even ordered drinks. I would definitely go back, though!

We ordered whipped ricotta, mussels, and street corn croquettes. The ricotta and mussels were absolutely amazing! The croquettes were also good, but the other dishes were the stars of the show!

The butter cake for dessert was also delicious! Do not miss this gem!

The food pictures we saw online looked quite fancy, so we dressed up -- but upon arriving, we saw that the environment inside is actually quite casual! It's a very comfy lowkey eatery. However, the food they serve is still so nicely plated and almost makes you feel like you're eating at a fine dining restaurant. The menu has some Puerto Rican classics but also some modern dishes too. We ordered a variety of dishes, including tuna, a mushroom pea ravioli, mussels, and fried plantains. Everything was very flavorful and tasted high quality. Especially the tuna -- it surprised me how delicious it was! Absolutely amazing texture and tenderness. The mushroom pea ravioli only came with 4 pieces but they were large and stuffed very well. It was very filling! The service is very friendly. Such a nice hidden gem in San Juan. We were all really glad we went!! Highly recommend.
