In exploring the inner city of San Juan, far from the high-rent beach district where Spanish is a…read moresecond language, we hoofed it through the pedestrian shopping area called Paseo de Diego and came upon the indoor farmers/butchers/fish market that is a smaller version of the incomparable central market in Sao Paulo. Wandering up and down the aisles here is amazing and we ended up having the woman at this counter hacking off a hunk of roast pork with a generous pile of crackling skin for $5. Here, English is not heard or seen much but the food is outrageous. Since we weren't going to have the time to find a lechonera out in the countryside, this had to substitute. I only give El Rey four stars because when I subsequently saw some stalls with equally wonderful pork but great-looking sides, I can see why they had even longer lines. We had a car but you can get here easily from the Rio Piedras metro station.

Perfect seasonal temperature just to hang out and catch up over good conversation. And great place to purchase nicities to bring to Niece's house for Christmas and New Years dinning. The Guava Cheesecake is a hit. The variety of dips also works and the additional tropical / latin flavors is a plus for this North Carolinian. Great place to obtain food items that would associate as either European or upscale. And the building itself harkens to a classical time. I recommend this place solely on the ambiance.

Ours had 3 chairs, but it was tight.

This location is different from the other ones.

You order at the counter from the options behind the display case and the staff will pack them in containers to go. There are several tables throughout the lobby. Open Monday thru Friday only. They serve breakfast and lunch. They close at around 5p. They used to serve more breakfast but lately the options are very slim. Perhaps it is because of the pandemic and not all offices are fully open? Lunch gets pretty busy so expect long lines. It moves fairly quick. I like that it provides a more gourmet kind of food than the standard fast food that is abundant in the area. It's a nice option. That being said, expect to pay more. Service is friendly.

Located near the San Francisco neighborhood, this location is known as La Hacienda San Francisco…read more This store is a case of it looks bigger on the outside. Luckily, it's never been busy the times I've been here. It's usually well stocked and organized, as well as clean. The same items you'll find at other Hacienda stores, you will find here, even at the meat and deli sections. This location serves lunch. You can check their website for the menu. However, this store does not have a Hacienda de San Pedro coffee shop inside or adjacent. Overall, this is a good store. Private parking lot.

The salad was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The dressing was a rosemary white wine vinaigrette that brought everything together perfectly. I can't remember the name of the salad, but it had mixed greens, goat cheese, walnuts, olives, peppers, cured prosciutto, and shaved cheese. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. Definitely a place worth stopping at before a flight!
