When it comes to Puerto Rican food, I truly only know Grandma's cooking. Our close friends mom,…read morewhom we refer to as Grandma cooked some of the best Pernil,arroz con gondules, tostones, and so on. So on our first night in the PR, we definitely wanted some authentic Puerto Rican food and with no recommendations, I resulted to what I know and did some Yelp searching. Not far from us was Toston Jibareño. As soon as we entered, I knew we were in the right place. The place has a decent amount of people inside so I knew it had to be ok. The menu has items I wasn't familiar with, but I went with what I thought I knew. Let me just say everything we ordered was spot on authentic to what I know. The pork chops was out of this world. The mofongo's and tostones brought back memories, the skirt steak was so tender and they did not have arroz con gondules, but instead arroz con habichuelas which are beans and I can't eat beans. It was a great first night. As much as I would love to come back,I have to try different places and different things, but if you are a local and haven't been here or a tourist and want good PR food, this is a great first stop.

We were recommended to come here by an employee at the rum distillery we were at before this (Ron…read moredel Barrilito), and it may have been the alcohol speaking, but it was delicious. My friends and I shared the skirt steak with mofongo, and the mofongo was the best we had our entire trip. We got to try to chicharron too, and it was crispy and flavorful. The steak was tender and juicy. I can't remember much else from the meal, but I would definitely come back, even just for the mofongo alone!

Today, I was with my mom in the area and we decided to stop by for an early dinner. All the servers were great! Andres took his time to explain to us options. While we have been there before it's always great to try something new. I have to say, the food was great. My mom was telling me that last time she came with her sister they thought the quality of the food declined. But today she loved it. And I'm glad that we had a great experience. And if you have not have it, next time, try the Nutella cheesecake. It was so yummy! And the food portions were big! The place is simple looks, but it's meant to be like you at a relative's home.

I found this place on a whim walking around the Caribe area of San Juan. It's located in the…read moreMercado which is on the second floor of the Paseo Caribe. I wanted something fresh and different than the rest of the food hall. Pesca'o del Dia had fresh seafood and what sold me was watching the chef plate someone else's dish! The presentation looked amazing! So I had to try it myself! I ordered the Salmon Filet entree with sautéed vegetables. The salmon was so clean and tender. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. And it came with rice and house made beans. All in all, this place is a must try for anyone visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico! The food, service, and price were all great!

First initial order was the poke bowl but was told they're out of that? People who ordered after us got their order way before us. We didn't not receive a buzzer, informing us our order was ready cause the girl server said she would have no problem bringing the order to us. Reminded her twice if our order was ready because it took so long and we are seeing people who were in line behind us get their order way before us. Basically receive a poke bowl in the form of a taco but they were sold out of the poke bowl?? Over all do not recommend. No stars really.

The flavor was ridiculous in the best way possible, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the tostones were notably fresh. 10/10- you MUST go. Out of all of the gumbo variations I've had from countless regions, Puerto Rico's is my favorite. Particularly from La Cueva Del Mar. Our server, Nicole, was an angel. She is SO SWEET. She made the experience even better!!! It was packed and very loud at 7pm on a Thursday, which is a nonissue for me, but if your party prefers a quiet meal, be mindful of timing.

The Meh: I liked this Cueva del mar in calle loiza but this experience was subpar. Prior to even ordering, I asked if their famous fish tacos would have the same coleslaw with their special sauce intermixed like it's been since 2007, but in recent visit on Dec 2025 was not the same. He stated he understood. When it arrived, the cole slaw was dry, not the same famous fish tacos i've been used to for years unfortunately. It was unnecessary for the waiter (male in his 50s with black ivy cap) to insist to try to prove me wrong stating that "it's always been this way and i've worked here for 15 years" when my mother and i have had these fish tacos since it opened originally in guaynabo circa ~2007. Mind you, i am bilingual and overheard the waiter talking to the kitchen. Their solution was to bring sauce on the side. My partner ate 1 fish taco, I ate none. When we left the establishment, the waiter went outside to stop my fiance. The waiter never approached me to apologize directly por el mal rato. I also found it extremely distasteful to have to overhear an employee (brunette) on her break (or otherwise) with her foul language near our toddler. We'll just have to stick to another location that treats customers better.
