It was a hot day, and although we were originally seated outside, the manager did come over, apologize, and move us to an indoor table, which we appreciated. Still, we waited nearly an hour after being seated to get our food. A heads-up about the wait time would have gone a long way. Service was polite, but the delays really impacted the meal.

Viejo San Juan Latin restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that blends a spacious and…read moreairy atmosphere with the charm of outside seating, complete with a privacy fence for an intimate touch. The restaurant's cleanliness and precautions at the buffet underline a commitment to customer well-being, although my suggestion to cover the food on the employee side would be a more of a food safety for customers.

Viejo San Juan Latin restaurant seems to strike a balance between a welcoming ambiance, flavorful cuisine, and a commitment to customer well-being. It's a place that beckons for those in search of a delightful blend of atmosphere and taste. If you are living here or passing through this is a spot worth spotting in for a bite.

The fact that I have never sat down and written a yelp/google review for Don Pedro's is insanity…read more I have been there at least a dozen times now and the food is always...ALWAYS top notch. Pedro, his wife, and their crew are relentless in their efforts to make sure all of the food is from scratch and perfect, and that you always feel like family when you stop by. The restaurant is never dirty, and there is indoor as well as outdoor seating. I am going to struggle to find all the photos I want to post for this review since they span over a couple years and a bunch of visits. This is the best Cuban sandwich from here to Tampa. I said it, and I meant it. I eat with a purpose...I am constantly looking for the best of everything. If it's a Cuban...it's here. The wings are always cooked perfectly, sauced well, and have delicious house made sauces. The cheesesteak is easily the best in that area. Real ribeye, cooper sharp cheese sauce, a fresh roll delivered daily...can't miss. The chicken cheesesteak is also excellent. The Italian sub is like a full lb of meats with the freshest veggies and again on that roll from NYC. Pedro has changed the pizza multiple times as he continues to test new ingredients and flavor profiles, and every single time I have it, it's better than the time before. I will not get a round slice from anywhere else in that area. The Spanish food is fantastic. I say Spanish and not Puerto Rican because he also has dishes like Ropa Vieja which is inherently Cuban and some other dishes with influences from other Latin countries. The pernil is fantastic, the fried pork belly is outrageous, empanadas...you seriously can just point to the menu here randomly and whatever you pointed at will be fantastic. Easy rating here, without a doubt. Didn't Suck isn't strong enough for Don Pedro's...this place is excellent.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show, mofongo! This savory Puerto Rican classic made with fried green plantains is one of those dishes I've only ever seen on TV but not today! You can choose between pork, chicken, or shrimp, but I went with pork because some things are destined to be together. And the gravy? GOOD LORD! I could've skipped the spoon and just drank it straight from the cup. No judgment, please. We also ordered the stewed beef, which was so tender it practically melted away in your mouth, and the rotisserie chicken was crispy and moist at the same time. My guess is you can't go wrong with whatever you choose here. Also, don't sleep on the canned drinks! The kola champagne and sparkling coconut were the perfect pair to our meal. A little sweetness and fizz to wash down all that goodness. Between the generous portions, incredible food, and genuinely welcoming hospitality, this place is a little gem worth discovering.

I also had the tres leche cake as well.. yum. Service was good, most of the food available is offered cafeteria style so you can see it upon ordering.

That said, the food didn't feel very authentic in terms of traditional Spanish cuisine, at least in my opinion.

Overall, an okay spot with great service, but room for improvement on the food side.
