We were staying at a Airbnb and Campo Mofongo was recommended. The prior guests stated it was…read more"the best Puerto Rican food on the island". So we for sure had to try it out. We arrived on a Sunday to a band playing, no seats or tables available. After asking several guests for the extra chairs at their tables we were able to put together a place to eat. Boy was it worth it! The band was great, we ordered pork Rejano and Surf and Turf. The Surf and Turf is a bit pricey but worth every dollar. The steak just fell apart and seafood cooked to perfection. The mojitos were just wonderful as well. In particular the Strawberry coconut mojito was exceptional. Great place for an authentic meal amongst locals in an outside camping atmosphere. Don't miss this one when visiting Puerto Rico, they are closed on Monday and Tuesday so make sure to plan around it.

I looked at reviews at this restaurant and they were good so I decided to give it a shot walked in immediately sat down. This is a Mom pop type restaurant. They've been here since 1969 family owned.

The restaurant was clean and tidy I saw a couple sitting there celebrating their anniversary and all the staff is friendly and you can tell that it's a place that people come to again and again I will definitely be returning here

Fuimos un domingo para almorzar. No estaba muy lleno. Pedimos el tentáculo de pulpo para empezar. El pulpo estaba bueno. Vino acompañado de los platanares cortados largos (no acuerdo como le llaman). Para el plato principal me fui con la recomendación de la mesera. Ella me sugirió el cerdo ahumado, que al parecer es el plato que mas vende, aunque se venden como la casa del pollo ahumado. Lo pediátrica con arroz congri y yuca. Mi esposa se pidió el jarrete de cordero guisado con arroz y habichuelas y amarillos. Me gustó el arroz y la yuca. El cerdo estaba bueno aunque un poco seco. Estaba cubierto de un glaseado dulce. A mi esposa no le gusto mucho. A mi si. Me recordó de cerdo agridulce chino. Sin embargo no me encanto el plato. No se porque es popular. No fue para mi... vamos a dejarlo así. El jarrete estaba bien rico.

The restaurant has the ambiance of a small town PR restaurant that you would find tucked away in…read morethe country roads of the island, with the long shared tables and the decorations. The wait was usual for Old San Juan. About 30-45mins. They take your name down and call you when there's a table ready. What they don't tell you is that the menu is a QR code on the table. Once you figure that you see a well organized and simple 2 pages menu with many PR authentic dishes listed. The waiter comes about 10-15mins later. And it's best to have all your order ready as they don't come back very often. The place is usually packed all the hours that they're open. Food: that's why they lost a star. Rice and beans, Madurai/amarrillos, scurrilous, delicious 5 stars, but the bigger, empanada, chicken with garlic lack the bite that you come to expect of PR food! They lack taste, "Sazon", they were bland and tasted more like someone forgot to season them and forgot the garlic. I'd tell them to go back to their food and make PR food like it's supposed to taste, not for the tourist, please!

One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone. After being seated, our waiter hasn't been outright unkind, but there's a clear difference in how we're being treated compared to other guests. As a same-sex couple, it feels like we're not being received as warmly, even though he seems to be making an effort to remain professional. As a Puerto Rican, that's honestly a bit disappointing and feels out of place. That said, the food itself has been very good.

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.

To drink they have sodas and juices. It is a very simple place, a chinchorro, with no air conditioner and a few tables but the food is very yummy.
