    Carne Ahumada con Cebolla en Escabeche Servido con Mofongo  Smoked Pork Served with Pickled Onion and Fried Mashed Plantain
    Nina R.

    Another great recommendation from folks that live here. Came here for my Birthday Dinner. I was completely blown away and impressed. Service was fantastic, attentive, and had great conversation with other folks dining and working there. I had a smoked pork dish, sauteed with onions, over mofungu, a mashed, well seasoned plantain dish (similar to chunky, rustic mashed potatoes). I had a side salad. They made me a surprise rum cocktail for my birthday with whipped cream and a candle on top! Service was outstanding, welcoming and the food was to perfection. Best meal I've had in PR yet. Nice atmosphere. You can either dine inside or outside and people watch, or listen to the live music or watch people dancing on the Plaza. Highly recommend.

    Stumbled upon this place when visiting Puerto Rico and was pleasantly surprised. We opted to sit outside to enjoy the view and with the exception of a few stray cats, the ambiance was nice. Our waiter was attentive and the food as good.

    Steak mofongo
    Kate D.

    Food and drinks were amazing! Right by La Placita! The strawberry mojito was amazing! Light but sweet. The mofongo with the tomato sauce was flavorful and hot! The veggie mofongo included broccoli carrots onions and cauliflower and mushrooms! The steak mofongo was well seasoned and the croquettes were hot and crunchy. Service was excellent.

    Chicharron, Octopus, Churrasco Passion Fruit Mojito

    Food is great and drinks are strong, but well flavored. We were seated outside which let us enjoy the festivities of La Placita while having dinner. Staff was very nice and service was fast.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around and I'm glad we did. We were a large party but luckily we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. The food and drinks were delicious. They did forget to bring me a sauce but it was fine since the food was so good. I highly recommend

    Grilled Octopus (Pulpo)

    The evening started off well with our server Maritza. She shared some specials for the evening and we were excited to try some food as this was our first time in PR. We got the Croquetas with Chorizo and Risotto which were Underwhelming to say the least. I was expecting Atleast a chorizo flavor seeing as there was no actual meat inside of the croqueta. Disappointing. We asked her to ensure that we had gotten the right order and she said yes and that the chorizo was cooked into the Risotto...o too if that they were lukewarm borderline cold. We told her this also and she offered to heat them in the microwave for us. Disappointed. We tried a few different menu items. The margaritas and mojitos were Delicious. For entrees we tried the Grilled Octopus, and Chicharrón crusted Mahi Mahi over Malanga. Octopus was cooked well but lacked flavor. A chimichurri would have made this excellent. The Mahi Mahi was awful. Whatever the coating was that they used was sweet..like sugary sweet and can you imagine eating fish that tasted like it was dipped in sugar? Didn't eat eat. Ended up going with just Rice and Beans and was satisfied with that. Our server had become visibly irritated and began avoiding our table altogether. We were finally ready to close out and she brought the check and as we paid she reminded us of the suggested tip to leave. We paid for the meal with a card and decided to use cash for the tip (which was already MORE than the highest suggested amount). As we're paying Maritza is HOVERING over my friend as she's paying and reminds her again of the suggested tip. My friend says that we will pay the tip in cash again, hoping that will satisfy her. Once she finished with the Credit card machine she hovers over the table for Atleast a minute as we're putting on our jackets to leave and the cash tip is sitting on the table and she reaches across our personal belongings and snatched it. Again..disappointed. The drinks were good but I'd never come back to this place.

    We had a bit of a wait since we came on a Saturday night. Otherwise service was ok but the food made up for it! I enjoyed my chicken and my husband enjoyed his chicharon. The portions are big but overall good experience!

    Amazing

    Paola is amazing ! We trusted her to pick dishes for us and nothing disappointed! Everything tasted amazing and it all came out really fast! Definitely something for us to come back to (:

    Can't really review the service because our names were taken for a table. We waited, we were called because the table was ready and when we arrived the guy at the door told us they were "closed" it's 9 PM on Saturday night... The website states they are open until 1 am. Update: We are elsewhere and just happen to end up on the same street again... They are very much open 2 hrs after they told us they were closed. We knew this was a racist move from the beginning but glad it was confirmed.

    Over cooked steak!
    Jessica C.

    We were told to list our names (8:30pm) and they would call/text. Never received either. We had to inquire within and we were finally seated at 925pm. We placed our order and drinks. We received our first round of drink and placed our order but never saw the waiter again after that. When we asked how long the wait would be for our food (45 min waiting at this point) we were told that the food takes anywhere between an hour and a half or more. It is now 10:30pm and we are still waiting for our food and at least a second round of drinks to keep us occupied but nothing. I would not recommend! A full restaurant doesn't always mean good food, sometimes it means the people seated have been waiting forever! Update: so we finally received our food. Close to 11pm and here is what we received. An over cooked salmon and an over cooked steak! When we brought it up to the manager, he offered a garlic sauce for the salmon and was pretty upset that we complained about the steak. He was not friendly at all! Never again!

    What a wonderful place! If you find yourself wandering around Santurce you'll find an area with lots of restaurants and only one obvious choice- Chicharrón! The food is SO good. Lots of amazing PR cuisine on the menu and a few options just for kids, too. The eggplant parmesan and mofungo were highlights. Our server was great. The ambiance was pleasant and there were nice and clean bathrooms. We definitely enjoyed the AC on a hot day, but there's plenty of outdoor seating. A good time had by all!

    This is the name of the restuarant.

    I'm still thinking about this meal... hands down the best dinner I've had on vacation--maybe ever…read more Santaella absolutely blew me away. We started with the tuna pinchos, and wow--fresh, perfectly chunky, and packed with flavor. Then came the goat cheese quesadilla, which might honestly be one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. Creamy, rich, and just unreal. I finally had the chance to try escargot for the first time--and now I feel completely spoiled for life. If that was my introduction, the bar has officially been set sky high. Even the Caesar salad stood out--crisp, balanced, and done exactly right (which is rarer than it should be). But the real star of the show for me? The guava and cheese bread pudding. I'm not exaggerating when I say I would 100% pay to have that Ubered all the way to me in Miami. It was that good. What blew my mind was the staff it looked like a hive of well trained bees just buzzing around this insanely packed room doing the best job. The general manager should be proud. Every bite felt intentional, elevated, and memorable. This place didn't just meet expectations--it completely redefined them. Spectacular doesn't even begin to cover it. BRAVO. Chefs kiss.

Half of the chairs were wet when we arrived, and the waiter had us wipe them down ourselves. On top of that, several menu items we wanted were unavailable, and one of our drinks never even came out, despite reminding the waiter multiple times. We also received an email only a few hours before our reservation saying it had been moved two hours earlier, even though nobody from the restaurant contacted us directly or confirmed the change with us. Overall, the atmosphere just wasn't pleasant and the service felt off the entire night. The food was alright, but definitely nothing memorable. The staff also seemed very unwelcoming, which added to the strange vibe overall.

    Wepa wepa! From Groceries to turning up, this is your spot! I was researching spots to celebrate…read morefor New Year's, this was one of the spots that showed up. AMBIANCE You're in the city so it's an eventful area. There's street parking and nearby lots but your best to carpool or rideshare. As for the vibes, I'm told in the daytime it's a local marketplace that's filled with vendors and other fresh produce booths. It's pretty chill with a nice neighborhood feel. As for the evening, this is where to turn up and get a pulse of Puerto Rico parties. EXPERIENCE Go to your bar, pick your vibe from community, club excessive, lounge feel, live music or etc. Drink choices rangeThey have it here! Plenty of photo op spots and good energy. I was here peak of the #DTMF era so it was magical to see people come together with a speaker and a cowbell. A local put into perspective how this was way better than paying for an expensive hotel party. It was truly a 1 of 1 experience. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. It doesn't get any better. There's a reason why this space is dropped in lyrics and people's recommendations because this is the heart of the people. So don't be shy! Grab a drink, walk around, catch a dance, and be safe! TIPS: * Don't just settle for one spot. Be sure to explore around to experience the entire Santurce experience!

    Review #1,047 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came to La Placita on Thursday the 23rd, when in town to celebrate my buddies 50th birthday. I guess this was purposefully done as I've heard it's nuts here on Fridays & Saturdays. When you get dropped off at the main road when you walk down it takes you to all the action in a few hundred feet. This place was still packed, but it was popping, the place to be at night I'd guess. They've got all JJ da of restaurants, bars, & clubs here. Tons of music, & a good time.
