    Historic Firehouse

    If you're ever in Ponce and want to have a great meal with a view I HIGHLY recommend "Vistas" in the town square across the street from the historic firehouse. We went last night and had a great meal with family and enjoyed it greatly. Superb!

    Stopped in for dinner after a long day of road tripping. The view was beautiful and in turn the ambiance was tranquil. Service was sub-par, nothing spectacular. I ordered the SALMON GLASEADO and the CROQUETAS JUEYE. The salmon was slightly overcooked, but the flavor was amazing. A tad sweet from the glaze and it was nice paired with the fingerling potatoes. The croquettes were very tasty we wanted to order more, but we knew we wouldn't be able to finish it. We did have a vegetarian in our group who ordered a veggie pasta - do not recommend. She didn't like it and had the group try it -- we also did not like the taste. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend Vistas to vegans nor vegetarians (options were slim to none)

    food was absolutely amazing, so fresh and hot right off the bat. As for service the staff speak both spanish and english and are so kind! The view is stunning so you can overlook the city. I'm not one to leave reviews but had to for this place!!!

    The Scottish Old Fashioned with Bruichladdich and the lavander Old Fashioned are excellent choices...

    The rooftop view (on a not rainy day) is a wondrous. The food delicious. The service oustanding. They even have a designated parking lot nearby. Really loved the salmon filet with crema ajo sauce, my workmates adored the lamb chops. Just go and enjoy.

    Best Flan ever, amazing stuffed chicken and ceviche! Great views. Wonderful service. Easy parking.

    Drinks were quite watery and weak but the ambience is nice. Service was prompt. View was nice as well. We didn't eat anything. I would recommend for anyone looking for a nice place for a drink with a good ambience and view but don't expect too much.

    Absolutely amazing meal. The melt-in-your-mouth pork tenderloin and lick-your-fingers lamb chops were among the best prepared dishes we have had. Service was equally awesome and there is a wonderful view of Ponce from the rooftop lounge. Highly recommend this restaurant!

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.

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.

This place is right on the main highway, it's huge and packed so plan accordingly: we arrived before noon on a Friday, so we probably got one of the last parking spots (there's a guy managing or charging in the parking lot? not sure) and the line was manageable. A large group and some buses showed up after us, so it got really crowded! Anyway, we had a short line, had no idea what we were doing to order (I should have researched better) but pointed and nodded, and with some help from the nice people in line, ended up with two huge platters of pork, rice and some other sides - way more food that we probably needed. The food: delicious! I would say our #2 favorite meal in Puerto Rico, after Marmalade (but that was more than 10x the price!) The pork was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and the crackling was to die for! I wish they would package those and sell them - probably only good fresh, though. Rice and sides were adequate: my son tried to be healthy and said the salad and potatoes were ok, but you're really there for the pork. Cost etc.: we paid less than $50 for 2 enormous plates of food and some sodas. It was enough for 3 lunch servings, plus enough leftovers for 2 people to have the rest for dinner - so I guess 5 servings? The wait was not bad early on a weekday, but they must get incredibly overrun on weekends. It is entertaining to see the pork cooking on a spit (please don't come if you are vegetarian and sensitive to such things) and watch them hacking away with machetes. My husband wondered if the machetes are the same once used for sugar cane!

    During our trip to Puerto Rico, we made a stop at a lechónera- a restaurant that serves lechón (one…read moreof PR's unofficial national dishes), which is a whole, slow-roasted pig. This restaurant is just one of many open-air roadside spots that serve lechón along "La Ruta del Lechón", aka the "pork highway" in Guavate. We got a half pound of lechon along with Mamposteao, which was delicious and filling. The pork skin hit a level of shatteringly crispy texture that I have never had from non-fried pork skin. We came later in the day, which unfortunately meant that the pork was slightly dried out. However, the texture and flavor of the lechón was absoutely delicious. It's a "build your own box" style restaurant where you choose which sides you want on the dipslay. Besides the mamposteao there were also other delicious-looking sides such as plantains/mofongo, beans, fruit, etc. There's a small parking lot outside the restaurant- one where the rule is you can only back your car into your parking space. Interesting. Would definetely come to try lechón here again!

While it wasn't quite to my personal taste, I could tell it was well made and I'm sure others who enjoy that style of tamale would love it. My husband had the baked chicken and really liked it. My friend ordered the salmon and said it was moist and very flavorful, and her husband had the garlic chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, everyone in our group was happy with their meals. Between the cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food, I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're visiting Old San Juan.
