Choco-Coco and Café Latte
Paula L.

This place seems like its going to be amazing. The menu is very interesting, but the reality was disappointing. The drinks are all yummy but way too sweet. we got chocolate, lattes, chocolate, coconut, frozen drink, & cappuccino. We should've just got drinks and maybe a piece of chocolate. Ordering food here was the disappointing part. The Chalupitas de mofongo was the most disappointing. The pork was so dry and the chocolate hot sauce tasted so weird/bad. the mini empanadas with guava and cheese were also disappointing. The Chocolate french toast was soggy, but tasted good. I'm not sorry I went, but I wouldn't suggest ordering food here. My friend got the smash burger and liked it. So maybe that. I don't know.

CHALUPITAS DE MOFONGO
Ricky G.

This place is fun. Start off with a classic Puerto Rican delicacy and order yourself the PUERTORRIQUEÑO. It's hot chocolate with a piece of queso de papa (cheese blessed by the pope). You let it sit in the hot chocolate until it gets nice and gooey. Eat the cheese as you finish your drink. I ordered the CHALUPITAS DE MOFONGO which were essentially tacos made out of smashed plantains. You can order it with pernil (pork) or sub it out for salmon. I had it with salmon and was delighted. The fresh pineapple salsa really elevated this dish. It came with avocado and a chocolate dip. Service leaves a lot to be desired. Things moved slow.

Fantastic Brunch was had at Chocobar Cortes. This is a nice modern eatery carrying the Spaniard and the New World's traditional food, appetizers, churros and the delicious hot chocolate, regardless of the hot weather ... it's a must. The service was excellent with the best hostess. As I said the restaurant has a modern look, it is clean and I like that it gets plenty of sun light. If in San Juan, Puerto Rico you will walk la Calle San Francisco, stop by the yellow awning. Have a Choco-tini! Salud!

We stopped in this delicious pastry/ lunch spot. Although we did not eat lunch, we ordered a few sweet treats! We ordered some churros and QUESITO CORTÉS The famous Puertorrican cream cheese-filled pastry with a chocolate twist. Both of them were very delicious! The churros were freshly made, and you could see them making them in the kitchen while we waited at the counter.The quesitos were absolutely delicious. If you love chocolate and cream cheese, you have got to order these. The pastry was light and flaky, and the filling was absolutely decadent. We enjoyed the vibrant ambience of this restaurant. Please see photos below. my only reason behind not giving this restaurant five stars was the service. After the Manager saw us getting up to leave because no one was coming back to take our order. He came and insured we got what we needed.

When we went here twice on the same day (first was 8 am and second time was after lunch) to try to get in but they were not accepting customers because of repairs. Third time is a charm. Got seated immediately when we walked in on a different morning. Glad we tried and it was worth it. The atmosphere was casual and the place was clean, nicely lit and cozy. Tried the puertorriqueño which was their hot chocolate. I liked it! Mocha (coffee) was also very good. Huge breakfast with choco pancake was great. I thought I was super hungry so I added crispy chicken. Though the crispy chicken did not have any flavor, they served it with a chocolatey version of what I thought was ketchup. Breakfast wrap was good. Our server Wilmary was very friendly and charming. She anticipated our needs and really took good care of us. I love this place. Good chocolate-infused dishes, service and ambiance. Definitely a must try when in San Juan.

Chocobar Cortés in Old San Juan completely surprised me. I went in skeptical because it looked like it might be a tourist trap--but honestly, it's more like a chocolate lover's trap in the best possible way. Some of the best hot chocolate I have ever had... and I'm literally craving it while writing this. We ended up going twice during our trip--once after feeding pigeons and again on our last day before flying home because we were all thinking about it the whole time. There was a line out the door both times, but we didn't wait more than 5 mins either time. The tables and seating are definitely packed in so be prepared to get cozy with your neighbors. The first visit, we tried a few things: the classic American hot chocolate for the kids (with marshmallows and whipped cream), the Europeo for my husband (so thick, creamy, and rich I almost stole it), and the Puerto Rican hot chocolate for me. Everything came with little cheddar cheese cubes, which I was very skeptical about at first--but after trying it, I completely understood the genius. The sweet and salty combo just works. We also had churros (which I thought had a slightly odd aftertaste the first time), and the guava and cheese empanadillas--which were absolutely incredible the first time around. We couldn't stay away, so we came back again before leaving. This time I had the Vienna hot chocolate and I downed it in under five minutes--it was THAT good. I immediately wanted a second one. We tried churros again (better this time), though the empanadillas were a bit of a letdown on round two. We also tried the kids' French toast, which our daughter didn't end up loving. I had the egg burrito, which was solid and filling, and my husband got the grilled cheese--which I honestly wish I had ordered. It had this slightly smoky, almost s'mores-like flavor from the toasted bread, and it was absolutely delicious. Service was good overall, and even though it's always busy, they keep things moving efficiently. Overall, this place is pure chocolate heaven. Not a tourist trap at all--just a must-visit in Old San Juan.

Huge Breakfast
Olivia K.

When my friends and I first arrived, we noticed a line. There was a decent wait, but we got seated within 15-30min. My friend and I decided to share a HUGE BREAKFAST. This dish features eggs, ham, small pancakes & fruits. I liked that they had extra chocolate that you can spread onto these pancakes since it is a chocolate place after all. It was a nice balanced meal. We also decided to share the more unique CHOCOLATE GRILLED CHEESE. I was curious to what it tasted like but it was tasted exactly what it sounded like. It was melted chocolate combined inside a grilled cheese. It was surprisingly not too sweet. The chocolate was nice and warm. Overall, it was a decent breakfast. The chocolate was surprisingly not too sweet. The food was good. Price was decent.

This place is so cute! I highly recommend. I love the decor and I was shocked to see they had a full menu. My friend is vegan and they had a fried plantain sandwich with veggies and a cornmeal bun. It was yummy and the eggplant inside was so good! Service was a little slow as it took a bit to make her sandwich. They also had a fulll bar in there and offered really cute rum tasting flights. Overall, I would highly recommend!

My wife and I had breakfast at Chocobar Cortés in Old San Juan, and it was outstanding! We ordered the Huge Breakfast and shared it. Everything was delicious. The scrambled eggs were incredibly smooth and buttery, the pancakes were fluffy and tasted great with the chocolate syrup, and the chicken strips were perfectly crispy. The Mallorca bread was a nice Puerto Rican touch and paired well with the meal. The sweet hot chocolate was rich and comforting without being overly sweet. You can tell chocolate is their specialty. The atmosphere was excellent--cool and comfortable inside, with reggae music playing in the background. As a Bob Marley fan, I especially enjoyed hearing songs from Bob, Stephen, and Ziggy Marley while we ate. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service from start to finish. If you're visiting San Juan and looking for a great breakfast spot, I highly recommend Chocobar Cortés. We will definitely return on our next trip to Puerto Rico!

Grilled Cheese con Chocolate and bacon
Mike G.

Food gets a 4-5, while service, which was fairly nonexistent, gets a 1-2. We both had the grilled cheese with chocolate sandwich, which was very decadent. I took the advice of someone else on here and added the bacon. Dipping the sandwich in the chocolate chip latte made it even more interesting. My wife added fries, while I tried the mini beef empanadas, which were also quite good. Service was never around. We finished our drinks and wanted more, but we had a hard time ordering them. When we finally did, it took forever to get them. My wife got a soft drink with no ice, which eventually then came with ice, and she waited forever to get it fixed. Same with my second latte. Maybe not having service and taking forever to get your food, get your bill, pay your bill, etc., is a normal thing in PR, but it's not a thing we like.

Enjoyed reading the posters, which gave some insight into the long history of this family business

I love finding a local gem such as this, where the regulars and the founder and her staff shared a warm affection and happiness that showed what a special place this holds in the neighborhood. Started with the single origin coffee and chocolate - a dessert for breakfast . I had the tres huevos con platanos y longaniza (sausage with pickled onions); the sausage was spicy but not ridiculously so, the mashed plantains were rich and full of butter and flavor, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. We wanted a large breakfast as we would not have a chance to have lunch between a hacienda visit and night kayaking...this fit the bill. My wife had the avocado toast with salmon. We expected smoked salmon as is usual but this was a salmon filet - different but delicious. We brought some ground coffee to our rental apartment along with some coconut infused rum and chocolates for later . What a happy and delicious start to our fun day!

Choco Martini and a chocolate old fashion.

Near the port and in walking distance from the ship. Excellent drinks and the food looks good. Nice place to stop in before heading back.

Oh boy... this was a 10/10!…read more After spending a long, hot day exploring Old San Juan with the kids, we stopped by Cortés ChocoBar in Condado for something cold, and it was exactly what we needed. We ordered three of their frozen chocolate drinks, and every single one was absolutely delicious. Thankfully, it wasn't busy when we stopped by, so it was the perfect place to cool off and take a break from the heat. The café had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I asked if one of the frozen drinks could be split for the kids, and although they didn't split it for us, they happily gave us two extra cups so we could divide it ourselves. It was a simple gesture that we really appreciated. The frozen chocolate drink was rich, creamy, refreshing, and perfectly chocolatey without being overly sweet. Even the whipped cream was delicious, especially with the chocolate pieces on top. Everyone in our group loved it, and it quickly became our favorite sweet treat of the trip. Whenever we're craving something cold and chocolatey during our stay in Puerto Rico, this will definitely be our go-to spot. We can't wait to come back and try their bonbons before we head home!

It's the chocobar extension of the Caribbean Chocolate Cortés brand of bars that are similar to the…read moreFrench Chocolat-Menier used for making hot chocolate. I've bought them at the grocery store for my mother over the years when I couldn't find Menier. I was hoping to see some unique desserts at Chocobar Cortés. Let's just say that the chocobar at this location was not what I was expecting. It's like an express version of their original one in Old San Juan. This is located in the lobby of the Condado Palm Hotel. There are 2 entrances. Don't make the same mistake we did by trying to access at street level. That door is locked. You'll need to enter through the hotel lobby. The service is very slow here. There was only one other person there. We ordered a box of 6 chocolates and payed for it. I'm guessing he was making a drink for the other guest because he asked us to wait a few minutes. It ended up being longer so he told his colleague (who just came back from a break) to make up the chocolate box for us. Unfortunately, it took even longer as this other guy was more interested in the 2 young girls who just walked in. The chocolate bonbons were good, but nothing unique. It's the same artisan chocolates that you see everywhere for the same high price. Perhaps this location is better for their specialty cocktails in the evening time. I was looking forward to trying the choco-latte at some point. I doubt there will be a next time.
