If you want tasty Puerto Rican Food, this is the place. Long wait since it’s so popular but worth the wait. I ordered the Mofongo, arroz con gandules and a piña colada, all was Excellent! My friend got the bacalao, and some empanadillas. Amazing. My taste buds were very happy. Love the art work and learning the history of the jibaro people on their wall art which has photos as well.
We got the bistek encebollado with maduros, rice and beans and everything was soooo goood. Go you will not regret it!
If you visit Puerto Rico, and you want to taste the closets thing to what puertorican food taste like, you just order ‘Fiesta Navideña’ and you will know what this island flavor is all about. You will love the decor, the service… and the FOOD!!!! If you come by and don’t like the food, just let me know. 280 Sol street for true puertoricab cuisine taste
Great little ma and pa restaurant you know it's good when the local construction crews are coming in for lunch. The service was great and very friendly.
With the many options around old San Juan to eat, it can be hard to select just one place to try out. Make sure you check out this place for sure. After 700pm expect a massive line up. We were lucky to get in around 530pm and were promptly seated. I had to have the Fried Red Snapper! It was so delicious. Our party also enjoyed all the other items.
The food was exceptional. It was all traditional foods and cooked to perfection. We asked our Uber driver for the most authentic place to eat in Old San Juan and he agreed that this was the place to go! We also ate appetizers that I forgot to take pics of. Alcapurrias, bacalaitos, sorullos y empanadas de pizza -- delicious!! The cocktails were great but I'd recommend the traditional mojito if you don't like super sweet drinks. Otherwise the Mango and coconut were great too.
Hole in the wall with amazing food and service. Apps were cooked to perfection and the Beer was cold. PERFECT for a summer day.
Yum! We enjoyed our meal here so very much. The interior is adorable! The staff were all friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! They were out of fried pork chops, so I got the Christmas special (in May). It was the best! We definitely recommend eating here as often as you can :)
We loved walking around Old San Juan and happy to have stumble upon an authentic and delicious Puero Rican food restaurant. The red snapper plate snapped with the rice and beans! So delicious. But do note, that the wait and service is super slow so if you're on a schedule-you may have to reconsider. But the food was definitely worth the wait! Also, they're pretty light handed on the drinks so you may have to request a double for the mojitos, lol.
You know it's heaven when you're still dreaming about this plate a month and a half later. Planning to make a second appearance next week when the cruise I will be on makes a stop in SJU for a day. Yes, it is THAT worth it! Service is great, small place, but with very attentive staff. We were a group of 10 and they accommodated us quickly and on short notice. It was like walking into Mami's kitchen, cozy and feeling right at home. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for even just this plate alone. Everything was on point, even the pastele, which is a staple for Puerto Rico.
