Located a few doors down from where the address will direct your GPS to, it's easiest to spot by the bright awning. Limited parking is outside, as is the story with most spots in PR. The menu is in Spanish, which is easily translated through Google translate. The cashier spoke no English, and seemed frustrated by our novice Spanish. I ordered a Cubano and my husband ordered a medianoche. The bread was thicker than we had seen on our weeklong trip thus far, and significantly oilier. We didn't prefer it to what we had elsewhere. The flavors were fine, but not great- ultimately not worth the awkward visit.

Parking is difficult - but we lucked out and got the last spot in the front. We were greeted and seated quickly and although the place is small we got the worst view, but the service was still fantastic. It was super clean and super busy. The tables were never open very long and we lucked out to get one without waiting, even on a Monday morning! We definitely experienced our worst language barriers while here and relied heavily on pictures. I thought I could speak enough spanish to get breakfast and coffee, but I froze on stage... The only real disappointment we had was the pictures online show some really fancy coffee and we did not get that. What we did get was very good coffee and very delicious and super fresh breakfasts. We would recommend this as a place to go if you want to come away from the beach and the tourist traps there. We would definitely recommend and would come back. Plan to have parking issues, but don't give up. This is a neat place and a fun find!

El Platanal is open 24 hours and has daily breakfast and lunch specials until 2 pm. The restaurant has plenty of seating and can accommodate large groups.

We ordered the ham croquetas, maduros, avocado, the grouper with mojo sauce, and peril al horno. Each dish came arroz con gandules. We had a fresh limade and Bacardi mojito. The portions are huge so this a great place to share and if with a large group to order multiple dishes and have a taste of everything. The lunch specials were $8.99.

We left feeling disappointed with how the staff handled our visit. The venue itself was okay, but the atmosphere wasn't particularly engaging and didn't add much to our evening. The food was definitely the highlight, but good food alone doesn't make for a great night out. I hope the service improves, because the kitchen deserves an experience that matches what's coming out of it.

Here is what we noticed: - There are multiple rooms for sitting to eat, and also a counter when you enter for take out. - We started right away with an Americano coffee, which was good. - The breakfast menu had a lot of different options, but only a few that seemed to be more "Puerto Rican" in flavor/food, which is what we were looking for. - My wife and settled on splitting both the Lorenzo Y Pepita breakfast sandwich and the Jibarita Omellete. Both dishes were really good, and we also got to have an extra grilled cheese sandwich, which was brought to our table in error. The bread on both of the sandwiches, and the one toasted with the omelet, was especially excellent! - Service was good. Bottom line: We're glad that we decided on Buen Vecino Cafe.

The good thing first- the line goes through fairly quickly considering how busy they were the day I was there, Sunday July 19, 2026, and parking was plentiful. Service was fine, cleanliness was good. The bad. Way overpriced for this region. There are plenty of bakeries in Puerto Rico offering the same things at half the price. The worst. The food quality sucked. Jugo de China Natural usually means squeezed to order. It was squeezed ahead of time and served with ice without being asked. Fresh squeezed orange juice is best served room temp. A good one will still be a little foamy on the top with very low acidity Ham and Cheese on Mayorca Bread- a staple of PR breakfast. Traditionally served pressed with a little powdered sugar on top that caramelizes a little because of the pressing. This one had a ton of floury tasting powdered sugar on the top and bottom of the top and inside the top and bottom of the bread, not normal at all. And for whatever reason, mine was served with the insides of the bread out side but I saw others that weren't served that way. So strange. And the ham was oddly pale. Also, no knives or forks to be found, so the extra sugar was extra confusing Quesitos- I ordered 4 to take out. I should not have. They went straight to the trash. The dough was severely under baked and soggy yet the filling was dry and crumbly without barely any sugar on top to offset the cream cheese. Arroz con Dulce- overly sweet and watery. Also went straight to the trash. Should be a little thicker from the starch of the rice combining with the sweet milk as it cooks. It tasted like they cooked the rice separately and then added cinnamon, evaporated milk and a ton of sugar without heating it. Not even a hint of vanilla to be found. For $44 dollars before tip. It was straight disrespectful to tourists and locals alike. I hope they improve because there is nothing worst than a popular spot resting on the laurels of a good location PS- The Habichuelas Escabeche were good.
