The decor was really nice, a but different then the restaurants you May be accustomed to dining at on the island. For starters I had the pumping soup which was really thick and so tasty.

For dessert she had the lechosa ( sp?). O don't necessarily care for it but she said it was good. Overall, we really enjoyed our dining experience, we will definitely come back again.

We visit Caguas a couple times a year, and every single time we visit Mr. Sandwich (and will continue to do so). The place is quite modern for the location and is a welcome change to the restaurant options in the area. One thing we really enjoy is the menu selection. There is something for every single person/taste and you will not be disappointed. Of course, the sandwiches are amazing as the name would imply. This place is also great for large groups (of course we travel in a gaggle when we visit). The food always comes out quickly and is very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone needing a great food option in the area.

We ordered the bacalaitos (codfish fritters) as an appetizer and the mofongo with shrimp (and another with pernil). The bacalaitos were perfectly fried, not greasy.

It was probably the best tres leches I've ever had. We'll definitely return next time we're in San Juan.

You get the real deal, real Puerto Rican dishes, with the greatest flavors and fair prices. Unless you prefer playing overpriced, find dining restaurants with average Puerto Rican food, which there are plenty of in the area. I'm not able to emphasize how small this restaurant is, it's located right along the main walking strip in Coronado Beach. Maybe 10 tables or so. No reservations walk up wait in line if you have to eat and leave. Not only will you eat the best tasting food during your trip, but probably also pay the least amount of money. We went here twice! Their rice and beans recipe is probably what it's all about! We got grilled shrimp and skirt steak over rice and beans and honestly, I could've had it all week long! This little gem local place is not to be missed! Highly recommended!
