We were brought chips and salsa to munch on while we perused the menu. The chips were stale and definitely not fresh. I liked the salsa, but just a heads up that it's a bit spicy. The food was great other than this. Three of our party had the Tri-Juana which was a taco, burrito, and enchilada. I was told the taco shell was stale, but it was otherwise good. Three of our party had soup (I didn't get any pictures), and they said it was really good. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano sauce. I thought this was incredible. The flavor was rich, and the shredded chicken was cooked just right. It came with rice and refried beans which were also delicious. Most of us had margaritas as well. Their margarita menu is huge. I had the Caribbean Rita was refreshing and hit the spot perfectly. I would definitely have this one again. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was because even though our server was very friendly, the service was incredibly slow. We'd been there for 30 minutes before we even ordered our drinks and food. Our server was visibly busy managing many other tables. I imagine the other servers had been cut due to the time of day, but it was frustrating. (That and the stale chips). The ambiance was nice, and the location right inside the mall, close to the airport, was ideal. I would definitely go back, but I would want to try another time of day to see if the negative factors from today would be better.

Review #1,041 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came here for dinner kind of on a whim on Wednesday the 22nd, our first night in the PR. This spot is located right on the corner of PR-37. I'm not totally sure why the overall rating for this spot is so low? We had both good service & good food as well. We got a bucket of Medalla Light, and then got nachos with beef, and fish tacos, boy items were fresh & tasted good. I would eat here again with confidence.

I ordered the quesadillas and a traditional margarita. The margarita was okay, but very average. The quesadillas were the biggest disappointment.

Overall, not the best first impression, especially for a restaurant located at the hotel.

However, it was $25 dollars!! $25 dollars for 3 tacos with meat and cheese! And I didn't even order a drink. It was just the Quesabirria. I've had this in New York and New Jersey for $18 dollars max! Bottom line: good food/ unjustifiable prices. Cannot fully recommend due to high prices.

I needed to take the time to write this review because people should know about our experience…read more We were a party of 10, and we were seated quickly, which we appreciated. Overall, the food was good. A few of the mofongos were a little dry, but the flavors were still good. Unfortunately, what should have been a great dinner was completely ruined by our waitress, the older lady with glasses. Throughout most of the meal, everything seemed fine. The problem started when it was time to pay. She repeatedly tried to pressure us into leaving the tip on the credit card. We politely told her we would be leaving a cash tip instead, but she became visibly upset. She even blurted out that we "better be good for her pockets," which was incredibly unprofessional. I have absolutely no problem tipping and always believe in rewarding good service. What I don't appreciate is being pressured or guilted into leaving a tip. Do your job well, treat your guests with respect, and appreciate whatever people choose to leave. That's how it should work. As we were trying to settle the bill and pay back the person who had covered the entire check, she constantly hovered over our table, huffing and puffing. She even brought the receipt back to us and pointed out what the tip "was supposed to be." It was uncomfortable, aggressive, and completely inappropriate. By the end of the experience, I was so disappointed that I almost wanted to take the cash tip we left and give it directly to the cooks because they were the ones who deserved the recognition. To make matters even worse, as we were leaving, one of the men in our party was standing near the restroom waiting for someone. The waitress walked up to him, said, "Move," and physically pushed him out of the way as she walked past. He handled the situation respectfully and didn't react, but no customer should ever be spoken to or treated that way. The food was enjoyable, but the service from the older lady with glasses ruined the entire experience. No customer should ever feel pressured, intimidated, or disrespected over a tip. I hope management addresses this so future guests don't have the same experience.

If I can make this into a Yelp learned lesson, I hope others learn from my mistake turned into a…read moregreat find. I saw a Yelp page for El Sabroso Lechón in the San Juan area. When we got there exactly to the location, the business was not there. My daughter asked me if I checked the review's and I said they were good. She said no, what she meant was, when was the last review and it was more than 5 years ago. Yelp in PR is not used as widely as in the contiguous US. Here if the last posted review is more than 2-3 years, I would double check to see if they are still around. Luckily there are several restaurants in the area and we found Chicharrón. Still Puerto Rican food, but well worth it. We finally got to have steak, like a ribeye. It was huge. Probably more than 16oz and trimmed the way I do it at home with large amounts of fat cap for better flavor. The Ribeye was under $50 which back home, the size would be well over $75. It came along with rice mixed with blood sausage crumbles that added so much flavor. Then we got a pork trio, also amazing. As usual we ordered the Chuletta kan kan and I think we got a slice so thick and so big it was a whole piece of a hog. Just that alone would have filled us up, but I'm a big back when on vacation. So we also ordered some tostones and stuffed avocado. The tostones we tried different was the bread fruit tostones besides the traditional plantain tostones. The bread fruit was very different but in a good way. The service was great. Thanks to my son who is our translator, we managed to not order something e didn't want. If I left it up only to my Spanish, we probably would be eating something we've never heard of. Highly recommend going to Placita, santurce and check out the night life and the many restaurants.

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.
