    Coffee Martini

    Ford was delicious, more than enough portions, and the service was excellent. Brunch until 2 pm. Fully recommend it. Food was cooked to perfection with great flavors.

    Maposteado de Pollo

    This is a small place with delicious food. The servers were very friendly. I tried the Mamposteado de Pollo and it was delicious. It is not far from Ocean Park Beach. Great air conditioner and very clean.

    Fish Tacos

    Came on a random weekday and there was no line so we were able to get seated in the front. It took forever for a waiter to bring a menu, and we were understanding with the influx of tourists. After ordering, the waitress came back 3+ times because there was something wrong with the machine. that was fine, and about 30 mins into waiting for our food, she told me she wouldn't be able to do tacos (ran out of tortillas?) and it would be a burrito, which is fine because at this point we were waiting over an hour for our food. Once we got the food (after an hour and 20 minutes) it was good. the mofongo was the best but we also realized they taste similar to one another because it used the same ingredients and sauce. in addition it was quite oily, which was expected but the spinach was drenched in the oil so we didn't bother eating it. the wait and price for the food didn't make it worth it to us, but we were happy to try it at least.

    Touristy movie cafe feel. Food was great. Love the ambiance. It was such a great experience. Our server Carla was a very nice person. Great service

    Avocado Toast w/ Bacon
    Lauren R.

    Cute little place with great food! We got the avocado toast w/ bacon and it was so fresh and tasty. We also got the chocolate pancakes, which were just fluffy and delectable. And the jugo de parcha (also known as maracuya) was so refreshing. I recommend for brunch!

    Nice restaurant right near the park. Plenty of different meals that should be able to satisfy everyone in your party. They also have vegan options for a number of items. I had a breakfast burrito that held me over till dinner. Also had a very shake which was delicious. Staff is top notch, very friendly to all.while eating they seemed to have many returning customers as they were greeted with a welcome back.

    We found this place in San Juan and decided to get brunch while our flight got delayed. We found easy street parking. TEverything was great and the portions were enormous. While we all enjoyed what we ordered I think just my 10 year old son got the best dish-the pancakes. They were VERY good.

    Mallorca Cubano and tostones!

    5-stars? Yes! My girlfriend and I have been here twice, both times we got the Mallorca Cubano sandwich! ! She got fries. I got tostones. Our food was delicious! The wait staff are very kind, friendly, and attentive. It's a nice, quiet restaurant on a quiet street. Perfect! If we return to San Juan, we will certainly return here! I've had Cuban sandwiches in various locations, including Havana, and this was the best that I've ever had!

    Wonderful drinks and service.

    Food is absolutely amazing and the service is fantastic. This is a small place but worth the stop. Amazing drinks too they have it all worth it.

    Food was good. They were out of lot on the menu. So it wasn't really a huge selection at the time. Brunch crowd was light.

    Chocolate pancakes (side order) and Hungry Special

    Delicious food! Amazing service! So pretty and relaxing environment. Overall WONDERFUL!!

    Wow! Quaint and absolutely delicious! We had breakfast here twice on our trip (Uber from isle verde area back & forth isn't cheap but so worth it!) The morning cocktails & coffee, the servers, THE OATMEAL OMg the oatmeal.... I don't even like oatmeal & realize everyone thinks they have a grandma who makes it good...but THIS place has the corner on that market! We were told it's made w/ their secret ingredient ...LOVE!

    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.

    Wasn't aware Sundays had a completely different setup, and we were disappointed to be seated on the…read morepatio. 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.
