The tacos are amazing; diverse flavors and you will leave feeling full and satisfied! We arrived around 1pm on Cinco De Mayo and got seated immediately because there's lots of space on the second floor! The service was great! Once we ordered the food arrived within 10 minutes. I will say it is Hot upstairs because it's a covered patio. Not much circulation so wear something light :) Happy Hour is daily starting at 6pm!

Staff is always inattentive, with long wait times to place orders, receive food, and even request the check. It's common to have to flag someone down cause servers are chitchatting rather than checking on customers. The drinks aren't that great either. But I tried all of the tacos and they kinda fire.

We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

Ordenamos las tostadas de camarones (mi plato favorito), tacos de pescado, y los frijoles. Todo estaba sabroso. Las porciones y el precio eran muy razonables.

The order of beans was also good, reminded me of my childhood meals lol. Space is tight, but you'll get seated quickly as the staff are pretty attentive.

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.

The tacos were very good not very filling. If you are super hungry, you definitely need a side or an appetizer along with them. The salsa was very flavorful and had a nice kick. My husband enjoyed his fajitas. I tasted a piece of the chicken and it wasn't really bursting with flavor but still good. About halfway through our meal live music started to play. It was a little loud, but not too loud that we couldn't hear each other talking. Cute environment waitress was really friendly. It's somewhere I would revisit and recommend.

We came in in between lunch and dinner so it was just us and we sat outside on their patio. They give you chips and this lovely salsa, which was absolutely delightful. I decided to have their pineapple margarita bc vacation, and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expected to be blown away but it was indeed a very good margarita. Then for our meals we obviously got burritos. I got the barbacoa burrito and my partner got the chicken burrito. These are hefty burritos that have the usual fixings of a burrito inside plus french fries. What a nice add. We both really enjoyed our burritos and had leftovers to take back and enjoy later. It got crowded quickly once dinnertime hit. This is a great little spot to stop in if you're hungry and need a guaranteed good meal.

We were craving some street style tacos and saw the great reviews from my fellow yelpers! We enjoyed the shredded tinga tacos and the carne asada. I preferred the carne asada over the shredded tinga tacos. The queso was pretty good but probably would have been worth it to add the chorizo for a little extra flavor. The chips were a little thicker than I prefer, but definitely hand made in the restaurant. The service was great, all of the employees were so nice and we got our drinks and food quickly! Seating is indoor and outdoor. This restaurant would be good for larger groups as they have some larger tables. We will be back! There was plenty of street parking, but no dedicated parking lot.

They delivered fast each time we had it 2 nights in a row. If you are visiting PR and are wanting authentic tacos and burritos - look no further! The flavor was truly like no other. I don't even look at burritos in America the same. The sauces were hand made everything was made to order. Without needing to repeat myself for a 3rd time - this is where you want to go if you are in the mood for tacos and or burritos! Lol Not too sure of the ambiance as I did not visit the actual store so the environment could not be predicted BUT I'm sure of the appearance and display of the food presentation it too had to be top notch. Very clean and classy. Definitely going back when I can. Hope they can bring this to the states (yes I know they are apart of us) would love to see this restaurant as a chain locally!

The second order was supposed to be two short rib but we received two chicken poblano. It worked out in our favor. The chicken poblano tacos were superior to the short rib. The short rib was kind of dry. The chicken was super juicy and the poblano sauce elevated the flavor. The Salsa Verde was the perfect accompaniment. The radishes were also refreshing. I like this place.

We were brought chips and salsa to munch on while we perused the menu. The chips were stale and definitely not fresh. I liked the salsa, but just a heads up that it's a bit spicy. The food was great other than this. Three of our party had the Tri-Juana which was a taco, burrito, and enchilada. I was told the taco shell was stale, but it was otherwise good. Three of our party had soup (I didn't get any pictures), and they said it was really good. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano sauce. I thought this was incredible. The flavor was rich, and the shredded chicken was cooked just right. It came with rice and refried beans which were also delicious. Most of us had margaritas as well. Their margarita menu is huge. I had the Caribbean Rita was refreshing and hit the spot perfectly. I would definitely have this one again. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was because even though our server was very friendly, the service was incredibly slow. We'd been there for 30 minutes before we even ordered our drinks and food. Our server was visibly busy managing many other tables. I imagine the other servers had been cut due to the time of day, but it was frustrating. (That and the stale chips). The ambiance was nice, and the location right inside the mall, close to the airport, was ideal. I would definitely go back, but I would want to try another time of day to see if the negative factors from today would be better.

Both the food and the drinks were delicious. The atmosphere is really enjoyable.
