Try. the. Mofongo. The skirt steak mofongo, with garlic sauce. Order it, possibly to share -- it's a big portion. You will not be sorry. Your date might be a little over-garlicked if you try to kiss them without letting them at least try it, though. Definitely a vampire-free zone. Delicious! And the best I have ever had, anywhere. We tried a little of a lot of things, kind of a meal of sides to go with our mofongo, and the empanadilla pastry was flaky and light. Hubs liked the chicken one best, I preferred the ground beef. But the big takeaway is the mofongo with garlic sauce. They even let you choose from a list of other sauces if you don't want garlic, but frankly, there's a reason it's listed first and it's not just tradition. read more

I discovered a quaint little spot on YouTube while researching my cruise that serves authentic Puerto Rican food. I was really craving fried snapper, but unfortunately, it was too large for me to eat by myself. To my disappointment, it was served family style, and my family wasn't in the mood for fish. Instead, we ordered several items from the menu, including stew chicken, fried pork chops, which my son really enjoyed. We also had mofongo with chicken and creole sauce, white rice and beans, fried plantains, and another side of beans and rice. We definitely over-ordered, as the food was plentiful and very filling. In fact, that was the only meal we had that day. If you're ever in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a hidden gem tucked away on a side street. You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to go back. read more

Dinner this evening was at Casa Luna! Very hyped by locals and visitors alike... Sophia was our server, very nice, did a great job! We had sangria a Bombay martinis (martinis off the menu), both were deelish! For food we started with an order of alcapurria, a local dish made of seasoned beef encased in crushed plantains, deep fried. Very good with both the creole and garlic sauces! We had the cad croquettes next, great flavor, but a lot of filler... better with more cod! Finally, the goat stew mofongo was delicious, no sauces, just plain... way good! Casa Luna is a small place, nothing fancy, A/C in the back room only. Not quite run down, but could use a facelift! Aesthetics aside, a good meal in old San Juan. The mofongio is worth the stop! read more

Followed the Yelp stars to Casa Luna to try authentic Mofongo during a trip to Old San Juan. Our party of four tried the beef and chicken mofongo, mojitos, and an avocado salad. Fresh, flavorful, generous portions plated sublime. Everything tasted homemade and delish! Menus were in English and Español, prices were on par with city dining. read more

I ordered takeout from the restaurant and although they didn't have half of the items on the menu, my meal was delicious! I ordered the creole grouper and the side I chose was the rice and beans. Everything was hot, cooked perfectly, and extremely flavorful! read more

The food was very tasty. The 7 of us ate the entire dish! The ambiance is ok, on the rustic side really. The service is good, but the lady seem to be by herself in a semi busy Saturday. It took a little longer tgan ussual to get our dishes read more

I am back home in Puerto Rico and what I love about the place besides the culture and our history is the food. So if you're looking for true authentic Puerto Rico food then don't pass by Casa Luna. This place is no joke. They are serious in helping you discover new flavors that will leave you at the edge of your seat asking for more. They are attentive to your needs in making sure you are happy with the plate that is served to you. The chicken and beef empanadas are a must to start with. I ordered the grilled octopus and it far exceeded my expectations. The mofongo stuffed with chicken could easily serve three people. It comes with a side of fried plantains and of course my meal is not complete unless I have the red rice and beans where the sofrito is sautéed. You will not leave hungry, that I can promise you. read more

The food here was fantastic. It's a small little place on Casa Luna St in the heart of old San Juan. The front entrance and bar area were no A/C, and it was hot out, so we went to the back room for seating. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and empanadas for apps. They were the best I had in the island all week. Juicy and flavorful. I chose the "stuffed" chicken for my main course and again, it was delicious. It was actually a wrapped chicken breast, wrapped with prosciutto, bacon and cheese, and topped with a lovely sauce. This was the last meal of the week and it was easily the most delicious. Highly recommended. read more

I went through a food tour so I can't speak to the service, but the food was excellent! We mashed our own mofongo and it was served with delicious chicken, beans, and rice! It was super flavorful! We also had a pina colada which was delicious but didn't seem very strong. The ambiance inside was a little bit stale, but overall the experience was lovely. read more

If you want a great Puerto Rican food come to this restaurant nothing fancy but you definitely get excellent food at a decent price

I came in expecting something else but ended up with the garlic goat--and I'm not even mad. It was tender like a slow-cooked pot roast, packed with garlic and deep flavor. Paired it with sangria and honestly might have discovered a new go-to. If you're hesitant about goat, this dish will change your mind. Unexpected win at Casa Luna read more

The food was extremely salty and overpriced. We waited over 45 minutes for our meals.

We had tried to get into a crazy busy restaurant up the street, but it was an hour wait. So, we walked a few steps and saw Casa Luna. It was pretty empty, and the decor is very basic, but the reviews were great. We decided to give it a try. Very glad we did! Started off with some rum shots, and then went straight to the food. We had a stuffed avocado, a chicken stew, 2 chicken monfongos and one shrimp. We all got the recommended garlic sauce. It was all soooo good!! Very large portions and an attentive waitress. We couldn't imagine that the first, busier place could have been any better. And, to be fair, we got to Casa Luna after 8:30 and they close at 9, so it definitely may have been busier earlier. Bottom line, don't let the simple decor deter you. This place is awesome for authentic Puerto Rican food! read more

This place was great! My wife, son, and I went there after touring the fort and we just couldn't have picked a better place to eat. I had the stuffed chicken with vegetables, my wife had the Mofongo with chicken (with the white sauce, it was banging..... wish they had a bottle of that) and my son had the chicken pasta. All of it was absolutely delicious! Hell I cleaned my plate as well as my wife's. Our server, who was also the manager, Yolinet was super friendly and just delightful. When I asked about dessert, I was given two choices. One was a tomato dish (yes... a tomato) with cheese and cinnamon. Can't recall the name of the dish but Yolinet smiled when she talked about so I figured what the hell. And wow was I surprised how good it tasted. I don't have a pic but the sweet and cinnamon flavor was fantastic. If you closed your eyes and ate it, you would have never guessed you were eating a tomato. If we ever visit Old San Juan again, we're definitely heading back to Casa Luna! read more

Great service and terrific authentic Puerto Rican food! We went here twice on our trip and a little hidden gem in Old San Juan.

Service slow The server didn't even know the menu. The wait was over an hour for four people, she never come back to ask for more drinks Pricey !! And they didn't give us a discount for the issues (Very very racist they serve other people but us (Hispanic Mexican ) My Mexican people , don't waste your time here.! read more

Food was DELICIOUS & service was friendly. We wanted to try Puerto Rican mofongo while we were in town - it was one of the best dishes I have tasted yet on my trip. My husband and I ordered the chicken mofongo to share with the sauce the server recommended. Chicken was tender & juicy and the sauce was very flavorful. My husband also ordered the manchego and chorizo croquettes which were also quite tasty. The mojito was good, but not super strong... which could be good or bad depending on your taste. Highly recommend this place! read more

Can't even explain how we stumbled upon this amazing place! The owner and waiters were so friendly and welcoming and let us enjoy and celebrate my husband's 50th. There were 8 of us and we may have been a little rowdy. But they excepted us and worked so hard to celebrate with us. The ceviche was so amazing, mofongo was to die for , croquettes and everything else. I want to come back next time we visit!! Thank you Gabriel and reggie!! You got us in there, and did not disappoint!! read more

We chose this place because it was close, a bit quieter, and had good reviews. Food was ok, not great. I got the grouper with garlic sauce. Wife had stuffed chicken. Drinks were good. Service was a little slow, but friendly and helpful. Bright white lights made it feel more like a hospital than a restaurant. No reason to go back. read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Old San Juan. the service is excellent, quick, and they were so kind.

Casa Luna was recommended to us by one of our travel guides as we really wanted to try mofongo. I don't know what mofongo is supposed to taste like or have anything to compare it to, but THIS IS IT! The portions were massive! Went with a fairly large party, I ordered the steak, others had goat and mushroom. You can customize your mofongo with sauce and whatever Yolinet recommends is what you should get cause she does not steer you in the wrong direction. My fiancé tried to get a frozen margarita, and although they can make it that way for you, Yolinet said nah cause it would dilute the flavor of the tequila! I appreciated her honesty and recommendations. Our party also got the ceviche and calamari which were tasty! There were plenty of tables and bar seating available, AC, as well and some fun art on the walls. Casa Luna is also In a central and convenient location that's walkable from the port. read more

Hidden Gem. The pollo guisado is amazing and my wife had the churasco stuffed mofongo with salsa de ajillo and it too was amazing.

Off the beaten cruise boat path but well worth the walk! Food was amazing. Staff were friendly.

The best meal we've had in Puerto Rico. The fried red snapper was delicious and the steak mofongo with garlic sauce was just as good. I didn't understand mofongo before this. I thought it was just some overhyped baked potato. But I get it now, and every other place after this has the hard job of living up to this one. read more

Food is amazing! Staff is absolutely wonderful and very accommodating!! We got lucky and came in before the dinner rush (4pm) and they were able to take a party of 9. One of the best restaurants in San Juan! I ordered the salmon with a garlic capers sauce and a side of tostones. Delicious!! Queso fritos, calamari fritos, and ceviche is great for appetizers! A lot of people in my party ordered the steak with a side of rice and beans and loved it! Highly recommend!! Whatever you order, you can't go wrong! They also made it extra special for my Mother in Law's 60th birthday and brought out tres leches! Thank you for a wonderful time! We will be back! :) read more

the place was nice and the service was good but the food was horrible. they really cheaped out on the ingredients, between the tough and old tasting steak to the overly salty sauces this place is an embarrassment to the Puerto Rican cuisine I grew up on. not the mention the price by no means reflects the food quality as we paid well over 100$ for an appetizer and 2 entrees. this place is more of a money grabbing tourist trap than an authentic Puerto Rican restauran. if you grew up on the food def save your money and skip on this one read more
