The food was excellent and the service from the staff was very attentive and professional. However,…read moremy experience was negatively affected by the seating arrangement. Since I didn't have a reservation, I was seated directly next to the kitchen doors, which felt uncomfortable and somewhat disrespectful, especially while other tables remained available. It gave the impression that walk-in customers were treated differently. I still appreciated the quality of the food and service, but I hope the restaurant considers being more mindful about how guests are accommodated, regardless of reservations.

We're currently dining here, and from the moment my partner and I walked in, the experience has…read morebeen mixed. 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.

I came here with a large group and we were happy to be seated in a private room. The menu here was…read moresimple but each dish was well executed. This restaurant would be a good first stop for authentic local cuisine. My favorites: * Skirt steak with rice and beans * Pork riblets with honey and rum * Fried cheese topped with a fruit sauce * Avocado-tomato salad * Drunken chicken made from local beer and honey * Chocolate cake with ice cream * Goat cheese and honey flan The only dishes I did not like were ones with octopus in them, like the Chorizo and Octopus Stew and the Seaside Salad. The octopus was chewy and rock hard in both. One person from our group was a vegetarian. Although there was no vegetarian entree on the menu, the staff made her a big plate of delicious cilantro rice with a large side of the avocado-tomato salad and fried plantains. Those of us who were not vegetarians liked her dish so much that we had to order a second plate for her. My only feedback for Casita Miramar is that they should answer their phones and E-mails. I had left multiple messages on voicemail and E-mail in both English and Spanish to modify a reservation, but those were never answered. I guess you will just have to stick with whatever the online Resy system gives you.

This is one of the best Spanish restaurants in San Juan. I really like their braised meats and…read moresauces. The appetizers are also delicious. My favorites are the octopus, croquetas de bacalao, and the corned beef alcapurrias. They also make the best flan de manchego (manchego cheese custard). I've heard the fideua is also excellent. Unfortunately, they were out of it last time we went. I instead went with the chuletillas de cordero. They were good but dry. It felt like I was eating carne frita. My husband's Iberian Pork Osobuco was awesome. Love those braised meats. The restaurant has undergone a nice makeover. New rug, new paintjob. Lots of colorful paintings on the wall.This is a nice place for a date. It is also kid friendly. The chef/owner is very nice. He is always on the floor greeting customers and taking their orders. Service is overall good, but there aren't many servers so it can get slow at times. Overall, this is a great restaurant. It can can cold so bring a jacket or sweater.

We arrived at 11am on a Monday because that's when we thought they opened. They actually opened at 11:30am, so we were 2nd in line at 11am. Once 11:30am rolled around, the line was very long. It's an old house that was transformed into a restaurant. It's pretty big in there and they have an upstairs as well. It really feels like you're eating in a Caribbean home, from the colorful tablecloth to the things on the tables. The menu is on a board, and they have a Spanish and English version. They give you a cup of complimentary plantain soup which was amazing. We also ordered the fried cheese app which came with a delicious guava sauce. For mains, I had the fried pork with tostones and my husband had the mamposteado (corned beef, fried eggs, and rice). My husband cleaned his plate, while I took leftovers back to the hotel (which we actually ate later because it was that good). They were out of tres leches that day, so we had the coconut pudding for dessert. It was my first time trying coconut pudding and it did not disappoint! For drinks, we had the passionfruit sangria. When we left, there was a very long line outside. Despite the line, they did not rush us out. Definitely recommend and would go out of my way to come back next time I'm in PR.

I visited Basilisa while on a weeklong trip with a few friends, and we randomly stumbled upon Basilisa in our Google / Yelp hunt our first evening in town. We came in with a fairly large group (~15 people), but they did a phenomenal job accommodating us. We were seated at a large table in the back of the restaurant, where we had a great view of the rest of the place while still being a bit cordoned off from the rest of the guests. With our server's guidance, we got a few bottles of wine (mostly red, a few whites) and a variety of tapas -- effectively the entire menu. Every single plate was incredible, but a few of my favorites included the croquetas, tortilla espagnola, patatas bravas, and paella de mariscos. The croquetas and patatas were delightfully crispy on the outside with a soft interior that just melted in your mouth (either because it was literally melted cheese or the softest, most tender potato), and the tortilla espagnola and paella were both incredibly flavorful.

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!

To start, we had the roasted eggplant, lamb 'picadillo', date sofrito, 'Feliche' yogurt. Really delicious and probably best for sharing among 3-4 people as it's a bit heavy given the lamb. Nevertheless, it was really good and we finished it! For entrees, we tried the (1) rice with rabbit, sweet plantain in its leaf and the (2) breaded pork loin, mushroom cream, cherokee tomatoes from San Lorenzo, tostones. Our server was super excited when we ordered the rice with rabbit and I understand why. It was insanely flavorful. Also a massive portion haha. We really enjoyed this. The pork loin was delicious as well, especially with the mushroom cream. Plantains are one of my favorite foods, and these tostones did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's a nice mix of modern decor with homey, vintage elements. There is a very large outdoor space, but I'm really glad we ate inside. Definitely recommend - especially for a group that likes to share!
