Now straight to the food... The Chicharrones Tacos are lacking it's a lemony, watery sauce, if I may it needs a Thicker saucy seasoned sauce base. They were bland. (Necesitan una salsa espesa sazonada parecía agua con limón y tomatillo verde nada más) The Tripa Tacos please fry them they were so soggy the tripa is ment to be well fried (doradita) (esa tripa estaba hervida y chiclosa) (y más si la Van a cobrar extra) specially since it's being charged extra it should be worth it. Now that the bad is over I must give a Standing ovation on The Tacos de Barbacoa! If there is one taco that is 20/10 it's the Barbacoa perfectly tender and well seasoned. (Daba gusto esos tacos de barbacoa) The Tacos de Fajita 10/10 muy buenos ! Very good Now whatever it is you do get to order you must accompany it with a side of rice and beans! Estos muchachos hacen un arroz muy rico y los frijoles refritos bien sabrosos ! Now the Aguas Frescas (Natural Drinks) Prueben el Tamarindo 20/10 (ni muy dulce ni muy amargo) Not too sweet not too tangy just PERFECT! They also had pineapple, horchata, Jamaica and others. Would I go back ABSOLUTELY! I just humbly wish they can better in the chicharrones and the tripas Service which is also a great experience, welcoming, kind, respectful. Éxito muchachos y el servicio muy amable.

Walking along Ashford Avenue in San Juan, we remembered reading about Tacos & Tequila in the…read moreCondado Vanderbilt hotel. So, we decided to stop by for a bite. We chose seating outside (of course). The area is beautiful with views of the ocean and a nice breeze. There was a small pool on the other side of our table with 6 in pool loungers. Very cool. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband had Tinga tacos which were so flavorful and fresh. I opted for the Birria tacos which I have never had (gasp). Omgoodness - talk about a flavor explosion! The shredded beef ribs were super tender and filled with all sorts of goodness! If you are in the area, definitely stop by for a treat!

I ordered the Cowboy Burger and requested it medium, but it came out well done. That seems to be fairly common from what I've experienced so far in Puerto Rico, so it wasn't a major issue. My husband had the Americana Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it. The other couple with us both ordered the ham and cheese croissant and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. In fact, everyone in our group is already talking about coming back before we leave! The restaurant is very cute inside, with a welcoming atmosphere and a full bar. They also offer brunch, lunch and dinner, and outdoor seating, making it a great option any time of day. This was a wonderful find, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a pleasant dining experience.

We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

As it got busier, it took the waiter more time to get to us. The restaurant was very casual and comfortable. The temperature was cool inside with the air conditioning. Sadly they did not have the appetizer we had hoped to try. They made it up to us with a complementary dessert. The coconut flan was delicious. We shared a skirt steak rice and fried pork Mofongo. Both were flavorful. The servings were generous. The rice included Amarillos. If you are in the area Waiter's is it excellent option for dining.

The service was fast despite how busy they were, and several tacos were on special for only $3. The tacos were packed with filling, meat tender and flavorful, and tortillas were homemade.

The frozen watermelon margarita was also a standout and paired perfectly with the meal. It wasn't overly sweet. Great food, great atmosphere and great value, at least on Tuesday's haha... Coming back for sure!

The tacos are amazing; diverse flavors and you will leave feeling full and satisfied!

The food was amazing, the portions were generous, and most menu options came with a side. The ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic, with an open street view that really made you feel connected to the local community. The service was good as well, although a bit limited due to the small staff. Overall, I'd rate this place a 10/10. Whenever I come back to Puerto Rico, this will definitely be one of my regular stops

Outstanding tacos--so good we went twice in one day!…read more This little taco spot near the JW Marriott in San Juan absolutely nailed it. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. We ordered the fish tacos and pork tacos, and both were outstanding--crispy, well-seasoned, and balanced with great toppings and sauces.

Portions were just right, prices were fair, and the quality was consistent enough that we couldn't resist coming back again later the same day. If you're staying near the JW Marriott and craving tacos, don't overthink it--this place is a must. We'd happily go back a third time!

We waited at the front door for 5 minutes because the sign clearly said "Please wait to be seated."…read moreMultiple staff members saw us standing there and did nothing. No one came over until we finally walked into the restaurant ourselves. Once seated, we were immediately rushed because the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes and the bar was already closed. The food was where things went completely off the rails. The steak was flavorless, unseasoned, and brutally tough. I needed a serrated steak knife and a full back-and-forth sawing motion, so long I honestly thought the restaurant might reopen the next day before I separated a bite. What finally came loose was a fibrous, nearly raw rope of meat that was simply not edible. We told the server plainly that the meat was not tender and had no flavor. He went behind the bar, where we could clearly see him talking to the chef, who could also clearly see us. A few minutes later, the server returned and said the chef was willing to offer 20% off the steak. I said I wasn't eating the steak. I wanted to pay my bill, but I asked that the chef come out and speak to me directly. Knowing where this was headed, I recorded the conversation. I asked the chef if he genuinely believed it was acceptable to send out a $40+ steak, then offer about $8 off for something that couldn't be eaten. His response: "Yes, the steak is good." I told him I couldn't cut through it with a serrated knife. He repeated: "The steak is good." Over and over. At that point, I told him he was an idiot. I paid the bill -- and only later noticed I wasn't even given the 20% discount that had been offered. I still tipped the server 20%, because this wasn't his fault. As I left, I told the chef I would never be back, that I would write a review, and encouraged him to learn what good food actually is. It's painfully obvious this business is not in a good spot. Serving food of that quality, refusing to remove it from the bill or remake it, and instead arguing with a customer tells you everything you need to know. That's not confidence -- that's financial stress. Don't expect this place to be around much longer. If they are somehow still around, they need to start by getting rid of the Napoleon-complex, man-bun chef with the bad attitude, tiny vocabulary, and an objectively inferior palate. Arrogance doesn't tenderize meat, and confidence doesn't replace seasoning, skill, or basic competence!
