    Empanadas
    Malisa R.

    Best empanadas in San Juan! Recommended by a local, this is a cute spot located in old San Juan. Small space with a bar area and a few tables. We were able to squeeze in back. We ordered 4 empanadas - steak, chicken, and spinach + cheese. The steak was my favorite! Cocktails and drinks are available. My husband got a local beer. I enjoyed the spritz with processor and passionfruit. The people there were super nice too!

    Guava Quesito Empanada

    My Uber driver suggested Dos Lobos in Old San Juan and since I love empanadas I had to try them out. I was nervous when I realized the empanadas were oven baked instead of fried, but they were delicious and filled well. The Churrasco with chimichurri sauce was good - but the the Pernil BBQ was AMAZING! The pork was super flavorful and melted in my mouth. I also tried the Guava Quesito - once I got past the slight shock of the sweetness, I enjoyed it:) The suggested sauce pairings were helpful and the service was friendly and quick. It's a cute spot with mostly bar seating.

    Yummy fresh  empanadas

    This is a super cute place. Definitely catered to tourism but also very for the culture. Okay so it's a dope bar with super friendly staff. Manager was very friendly and chatted me up about local things to do and see. Second location coming soon in Condado this week (hopefully). We tried 3 different empanadas I've never seen anywhere. One had churrasco steak and this girl has a thing for steak ..it was delicious. The other two were delicious too but can't remember which ones, sorry Overall location in old san juan, food quality and service overall was a 20/10. Bar staff were super attentive and I didnt even drink, offered mocktails and didnt feel pressured like lots of places in Old San Juan. Girlies, get there asap. Xo

    AMAZING!!! Hands down the best Empanada Ive ever had. Tried 5 different options and all of them were fantastic. My favorite was the Pollo, and then the Carne. So moist and flavorful. Not deep fried. Great dough. The 2 young ladies working were fantastic. Extremely nice and professionals and always willing to offer advice for places in the area worth trying. Had local and domestic beers. Great logo. Great location. Would love to try them again if I'm ever in PR. Overall a very high 9.6 out of 10. Keep up the great work ladies. The people from Ohio loved it.

    I liked this place! Newly opened. Craft beer, craft cocktails and empanadas. Simple menu. Fresh empanadas and great drinks. Service is phenomenal. You just may get a history lesson. I love the roaring sounds of the salsa music playing from the outside. Everything is lovely about this place. Set number of empanadas made daily and they do run out. Chicken empanadas are tasty. Check this place out! Fun. Open until 2am.

    Bbq Pernil so good and with the chipotle sauce it's even better

    Empanadas are so good! Definitely a place that I will always come back too. Pernil is good. Steak is good, chipotle sauce...chefs kiss.

    The empanadas tasted great, don't skip the chimichurri and piña habernero sauces either. The Pernil was our favorite. The food took some time, took about 30 mins to get the full order. The bathrooms were pass a nice courtyard, but needed some attention for odor and cleanliness.

    This is TOP NOTCH street food... with an amazing bar attached. We ate at least one of each of the empanadas. All were exceptional... but my favorite was the carne! Sauces are amazing... i paired the carne with the habanero chipotle. Wow! The cocktails are great! Had an old fashioned made with aged rum. Exceptional!! Just opened in Dec'25 so need to get o. People's radar. This is A#1 place. I highly recommend.

    4 empanadas and 2 Medallas
    Ronnisha B.

    This place is cute for ambience and vibe but it's overpriced for what you get. The empanadas are small, like 4 bites but they charge $4-$7 each. We came for a quick snack on our walk and paid $47 for 6 empanadas, 2 beers and a soda. I feel like I could've gotten two full meals for that price. They were flavorful but they're not really worth it. Plus these are baked which is healthier but I grew up eating fried Puerto Rican empanadas, it just gives them a different flavor and texture so to me these are not authentic either. They took them out the fridge and put them in a toaster oven. You're paying for novelty.

    Pernil bbq empanada & coconut mojito
    Danielle H.

    Stumbled upon this place & walked in unknown but it ended up being a favorite! We stopped by twice that's how much I loved the empanadas! The pernil BBQ empanada was incredibly flavorful & I paired it with the jalapeño cilantro sauce. I'm still dreaming of eating them again. The mojito was also unique with the coconut and so delicious.

    Horrible bartenders

    They leave the door open so all the nice cold air leaves the place not sure why they would leave the door open and you hear all the traffic and cars honking. The girl at bar tnite was rude and was like dont close the door!!! The empanadas are good but not crunchy

We were thrilled when we finally walked through the door again after wracking our brains to remember our favorite spot in Old Town. Upon entering, we were greeted by a young woman who, mentioned it was her very first day as an assistant to the bartender. Despite being brand new, she was warm, engaged, and genuinely welcoming, excited for us that we had made it back after several years, and impressed with our efforts. Shortly thereafter the bartender on duty approached us mid-conversation, visibly irritated. When I mentioned that we hadn't yet decided on drinks but were being well taken care of in the meantime, she interrupted sharply to bark at us that she was the bartender and the ONLY one who could help us. The tone was unwelcoming enough that after a moment, my companion and I determined that we would prefer to move on and left without ordering. The atmosphere is truly special, and it deserves to be matched by the experience guests receive at the bar. Our experience was simply not the vibe that night, and I truly was disappointed FOR the new hire who was doing what she should in engaging us until we could be served. I sincerely hope to return on a future visit to San Juan and to rediscover the experience that first brought me back to La Grieta.
