    Service is extraordinary! Had the brunch, great options including a fresh smoothie bar and omelette station. Nice location to eat in or out. Located inside the el San Juan hotel beach side.

    Fantastic restaurant, very high-quality and excellent service located inside the Fairmont hotel. Everything was great and the presentation was wonderful and the setting was beautiful overlooking the pool. Compared to several of the other local restaurants, this one was by far one of the best

    Ate here at Caña for lunch this afternoon. Ordered at Grilled Churrasco (10oz steak, chinichurrii with tostones and ESJ Burger (8oz Angus Beef, bacon and fries). For dessert, we had house Rum Cake with 2 macarons - a must to try. Best way to end the meal too! Service is up to par and love the restaurant ambiance and great ocean view from the beach club. Staffs are friendly and helpful, specially Orlando.

    The absolute worst food for the money. Pork chop was cooked like a brick. No flavor, prepared with broccolini and a marinara. Do not order. Family ordered salmon, beef tenderloin and snapper. All, very plain and underwhelming. Save your time, money and go elsewhere. Server made bad recommendations and knew it. He was average. Avoid at all cost!!

    Fish with a kiss of fry.  The papaya was an incredible contrast to the fish and unctuous potatoes.

    We visited Cana for a date night upon our arrival to Puerto Rico, as we were staying at Fairmont and wanted some local flavors. The food was delicious, the sides particularly creative. I don't typically get fried food, but the fish was so gently fried it was absolutely delicious. Highly suggest splitting an entree as portions were huge, and trying out the appetizers as they were very inventive and tasty. Mixed reviews on service - our server was clearly friendly and attentive, but at times we felt a little too hovering and engaging in lots of small talk when we were focused on trying to have some time away from the kids.

    Beautiful setting at the Fairmont hotel. Valet was only $16 with the validation. We had my mom's 1/2 birthday dinner and they made her feel super special. I had the snapper. Lots of sauce, they seem to like the coconut sweet sauces here. Everyone enjoyed their meals! I had an espresso martini - it was too sugary.

    Let's start with breakfast... During my vacation trip here in Puerto Rico I've been able to eat breakfast here at the Cana every morning. I must say it's been a splendor to do so. I've always gotten their breakfast buffet that runs until 11am. This breakfast buffet includes everything I could ever ask for in a breakfast meal. For the traditional breakfast folks they have a great spread of plump sausages, crispy bacon, baked plantains, and fluffy scrambled eggs. They also have a bread & dessert bar section that is worth checking out especially because they change up the desserts daily. The display of local fruits are a delight to see from dragonfruit, guava, melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, and more. I love their local Greek style yogurt and their granola bowls that they display. But my usual favorite has been their delicious plate of beautifully swirled lox on a plate accompanied by little bowls of capers and diced red onions. Then when you top that with their omelette bar I've been eating in breakfast heaven every day. I get their vegetarian omelette and the secret to this entire breakfast is their house made spicy salsa that they only offer if you ask and if they have made enough for the day. This sauce is divine and makes every bit of the meal as perfect as can be. Now let's go into dinner... I have to say dinner at Cana last night blew every other meal I've had on the island to smidderines. The entire dinner experience was immaculate. We were sold by our passionate acting hostess/manager who greeted us at the front. I believe her name was Shereen who was wearing these pearly white head piece that matched her bubbly yet genuine personality. Without being overbearing she delightfully went down the entire dinner menu section by section passionately explaining her favorite dishes and explaining the rationale to why it was her favorite. She crafted her way quickly through each section of the menu and by the time she was done with explaining the dessert menu we were completely sold in dining at Cana for dinner. We got almost everything she recommended and it sure did not disappoint. For the Para Picar snacks we selected with the Buenuelos de Yautia (white yam fritters, capaez cheese, jalapeño aioli) & for the Para Empezar starters, we got the Salpicon de Polpo (chilled octopus with black olive remoulade, & tostones). This octopus dish was my ultimate favorite. It was so delicious to every bite. I ate the whole thing and did not share. Hahaha. Then for the Platos, we ordered the Chillo a la Plancha (whole red snapper, cilantro,preserved lemon salsa verde, & lemon shout sauce). It comes in a small, medium, & large size option. We tried to order the small but they only had medium available. It was a lot of red snapper but delicious and we ended up taking more than half of it home. We also ordered the Arroz Con Congrejo y Langostino (blue crab rice with prawns). The prawns were so juicy and plump and spectacularly enormous. I lived the prawns. I was a bit saddened to see the blue crab felt drowned out by the rice but still delectable. Then to top off the evening we ended with the Copa de Caramelo (salted chocolate mousse, raspberry chocolate crumble) multiple layered dessert that was to die for. We were so pleased to have tipped off our trip with our evening at Cana. It was a sheer delight to end it on such a high note here at the Fairmont Hotel.

    Traditional breakfast

    The food was amazing, the host was lovely. There's option for a Buffett too which wasn't to pricey. Very good view to the water and right on the resort/casino.

    I think this restaurant has the best service, our server, Alex seems to be very passionate about great food and service. He recommended the seafood salad and the baccalaito (cod fish fritters). It was refreshing and delicious. The restaurant is by the pool and has a relaxing vibe.

    If you're looking for the best asopao on the island... your search stops here…read more I've never had something like this before. The flavor was ridiculous in the best way possible, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the tostones were notably fresh. 10/10- you MUST go. Out of all of the gumbo variations I've had from countless regions, Puerto Rico's is my favorite. Particularly from La Cueva Del Mar. Our server, Nicole, was an angel. She is SO SWEET. She made the experience even better!!! It was packed and very loud at 7pm on a Thursday, which is a nonissue for me, but if your party prefers a quiet meal, be mindful of timing.

    The good: Convenient location, valet parking, lively but not overwhelming environment, good music,…read moreand good drinks which is a plus. Food is usually good. The Meh: I liked this Cueva del mar in calle loiza but this experience was subpar. Prior to even ordering, I asked if their famous fish tacos would have the same coleslaw with their special sauce intermixed like it's been since 2007, but in recent visit on Dec 2025 was not the same. He stated he understood. When it arrived, the cole slaw was dry, not the same famous fish tacos i've been used to for years unfortunately. It was unnecessary for the waiter (male in his 50s with black ivy cap) to insist to try to prove me wrong stating that "it's always been this way and i've worked here for 15 years" when my mother and i have had these fish tacos since it opened originally in guaynabo circa ~2007. Mind you, i am bilingual and overheard the waiter talking to the kitchen. Their solution was to bring sauce on the side. My partner ate 1 fish taco, I ate none. When we left the establishment, the waiter went outside to stop my fiance. The waiter never approached me to apologize directly por el mal rato. I also found it extremely distasteful to have to overhear an employee (brunette) on her break (or otherwise) with her foul language near our toddler. We'll just have to stick to another location that treats customers better.

We arrived a little early so we walked around a little beforehand then sat on the bench in front until they were ready. The space is narrow. A row of tables on the right, steep stairs in the back to an intimate space for 6 people, a tiny kitchen in the back where all the magic happens. We ordered 11 dishes for 4 of us to share. The tostanos, the ceviche, I enjoyed it all. The waitstaff were friendly and accommodating. Most fascinating was the wall hanging along the right side. It was waving the entire time. Of course we asked about it, and we were told that there is no fan blowing behind it. The waving tapestry was caused by a suction from the kitchen.

This was my first meal in Puerto Rico and basically my introduction to Puerto Rican cuisine. They offer a twist on classic dishes, which kind of threw us off but I still enjoyed most of the dishes! I really liked the asopao, empanadas, tostones, and the guanime (dessert). The other dishes were good as well, but a bit on the salty side, which I'm just not used to. The only thing I didn't like was the alcapurria, which I think you can get better ones elsewhere, but it was definitely worth trying. We got complimentary ice cream beans which was nice because I love trying exotic fruits! And the rocio de miel is a great cocktail if you're like me and you like sweeter, lighter drinks. Our server was very attentive and patient, explaining the menu to us since we hadn't tried most things before. It was a very nice experience and great introduction to Puerto Rican cuisine!

Warning: sauce was insanely spicy even trying a dab though. 5 stars - Shrimp toast: perfection. Crispy exterior on top and bits of shrimp naturally fused together. So SO good. 5 stars - Chocolate cake with mousse and ice cream w peanuts. 4.5 stars - Steak: top quality meat. 4.25 stars - Chorizo croquettes crispy balls of goodness packed with flavors. 4.25 stars - Snitzel: well cooked. 4 stars - Waitress: Natalia was excellent. Was willing to put sauces on the side for my son. Bonus for her warning us about spicy habanero sauce on chicken to get it on the side even for the adults. - Stellar cocktails: coconut water ice cube in one was delightful - Wine wonderful quality and unique versions by the glass - Atmosphere: dining room simple and clean approachable with art on the walls Midlights: - Pork belly: significant portions with several slices and a crispy skin layer, but was hoping for more Thai peanut sauce action. 3.25 stars - Mofongo: flavors were fine but was expecting more prominent meat and mofongo separation. Appreciated the greens to cut the richness. 3 stars Lowlights: - Curious with the sauce with the chicken being known to be insanely hot why they might not mellow it out a bit or serve it naturally on the side

If you're staying in Condado, I'd probably just grab an Uber rather than make the walk. The service was exceptional from start to finish, and reservations are definitely recommended. This was honestly one of the calmest, most relaxing restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. Because of that, I probably wouldn't bring kids unless they're exceptionally well behaved. It's just not that kind of restaurant, and I'd hate to be the one disrupting the atmosphere everyone else came to enjoy. The clarified espresso martini was as visually intriguing (it's completely clear) as it was delicious and smooth. The fried chicken and pork belly were both outstanding, and I'd happily order either one again. Overall, if you're looking to splurge on one memorable meal in San Juan, Vianda would be high on my list.

The vegetariano was mid, but the other three? No complaints. But honestly, the food is only part of the story here. The vibe is everything. Salsa playing, high energy, warm service. We rolled in late and hungry, looking for sweet refuge from La Placita crowds, and they welcomed us like we belonged there.

Tucked inside La Placita de Santurce, its a small, casual, almost hidden spot that's usually packed with locals. Think plastic chairs, outdoor tables, music playing and a constant flow of people coming in for a quick bite or drink. Feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a restaurant. I've been coming here for years and this is what I've learned, take it from a local. For a quick bite, alcapurrias are a MUST -- especially beef or crab. Also the "pastelillos" are amazing-- corn beef, chorizo, morcilla... Everything freshly made to order. Now, if you want to sit down and enjoy an authentic Puerto Rican meal, here are some of my favorites: chuletas fritas, chicharrones de pollo, bistec encebollado and carne frita-- of course with a side of rice and beans or tostones for the win.
