So visiting PR, my girlfriend and I visited this spot that was down the street from where we were…read morestaying. After looking at the menu, I ordered the Mac & Cheese burger, added bacon, lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. The burger came with French fries, which were really good. The burger itself left somethings to be desired. It was an overpowering garlic taste on the meat. I tasted the garlic more than anything else. I feel that salt and pepper is the normal and you usually can't mess that up, unless you're heavy handed. I know it can be difficult to match the flavors from customer to customer. Some may think it's over seasoned, under seasoned or just right. I would say salt and pepper only would help keep it normal. I did have another issue with my food, but the owner? manager? took care of it, so it's was fine. The restaurant doesn't have normal or cheap water. It's $2 a bottle. I understand wanting to provide clean and safe water to customers, but $2 each is overkill. A case of 30-40 pack of water is like $4-$6. If you ask for water, they won't tell you there's a charge unless you ask, but you'll see it on your bill. I'm not a fan of restaurants that do this. A heads up would be nice. With how inexpensive it is to get the water, it should actually be free even if within reason. Maybe 2 bottles per person or something if you're that worried about the $4-$6 cost for a whole case lol. The prices for everything is not your typical prices for the normal burger spot or whatever. The cheapest burger combo is like $14 for the 1/2lb and French fries. Lastly, as some others have mentioned, I feel the shots are not accurate. I ordered a double and it looks like it was just a single shot. I've never seen shots this small before and I've visited many bars and establishments. If you're going to order a shot, maybe bring a shot pour cup to make sure it's accurate. Overall, I'm heavily leaning to not returning to this place. If I did return, it would be because my girlfriend wanted to go, not because of me.

They did have 2x5 Estella beers. I couldn't finish my pasta which was the quality of cafeteria food but remember NOSTALGIA! There's a patio in the back with some swings and benches. Has a small stage for a band and good size dance floor. It really started to fill up with students by the time we left. Two meals, one appetizer, and two beers for $30.

This is based on two visits, all ending in a pleasant experience. First, I like to visit shortly…read moreafter mid-day, not soon after it opens on weekdays. First thing is the location - with a view of the beach/ocean, and the breeze that comes from it - is great. The owner, the hosting and waiting staff are very attentive. On this last visit, we focused on trying many appetizers and they did not disappoint. Their drinks quenched a thirst. The only less than positive aspect of the last visit is that the restaurant next door was having some type of event with MCs and DJs and their noise invaded Drift to drown the awesome experience. I am hoping that this is not a common occurrence.

T-Mobile District was such a fun place to visit at night! There are tons of restaurant options, but…read morewe chose this one because it had the biggest variety of different types of food. We ordered an appetizer, a burger, pasta, and a traditional Puerto Rican dish, and everything was delicious. It also seems like a great place to catch a game, with huge screens in the middle of the district and TVs throughout the restaurant. The staff was very friendly, the service was great, and the restaurant was spotless. My only complaint--and this seems to be true almost everywhere we've been in San Juan--is that it was freezing inside. Definitely bring a light sweater if you get cold easily! Would definitely recommend!

I was really excited for Arena Medalla. We booked the Brazil game through OpenTable, which also…read morehappened to be on my birthday. We paid $101.95 in advance and arrived about 10 minutes before kickoff. Despite arriving before the match started, we were not seated. Staff spent several minutes "checking on it," and after the match had already begun, we were simply told there was "a problem with the table," with no clear explanation. From what I could see, it appeared our table may have been given away or the event may have been oversold. What made it worse was watching people from the walk-in line continue to be let inside while we stood there with our reservation. We were eventually invited to wait inside, but that meant standing in the doorway, directly in the servers' path, while the match was already underway. What bothered me most was the complete lack of respect, honesty, and basic hospitality. A simple, "We're sorry, we made a mistake. Let's get you inside, find you a seat at the bar, and put a cold beer in your hand while we sort this out," would have changed the entire experience. Instead, we were left standing around like an inconvenience. The frustrating part is that punctuality only seemed to matter when it benefited them. We missed the start of the match because of their reservation issue, and then when the match ended, we were asked to leave immediately before we had even finished our beer. It ruined the whole point of coming: watching the Brazil match in a sports-bar atmosphere for a birthday night. If you take prepaid reservations for a game-day event, honor them. If something goes wrong, own it and fix it. This experience was a huge disappointment.

Since we'd already eaten, we were only interested in drinks. The waiter was patient as I quizzed him about the beer selection and made a recommendation that I ultimately went with. He brought our drinks over and the beer wasn't bad. It did end up raining while we were sitting out in the open, but we quickly ran over to a covered area and the staff cleared our other table and set us up at a new one in the covered space. Then they brought us more drinks! I loved how they took care of us! Totally recommend and would definitely return next time I'm in PR!

The space is unique and open air (great option during COVID). The music was a welcomed reprieve from the constant reggaton at most places. Their food options are mostly Asian fusion. I had a salmon poke bowl and the ingredients were fresh and well balanced. This is a place you could xome for dinner or drinks and small bites. They put effort into little touches that add to the overall experience like free kettle corn popcorn to munch on and Cucumber water. Service is professional and friendly. I look forward to coming back soon!
