gyro (vegan)
Jackie M.

This was one of my favorite meals while I was in Puerto Rico. We came in for a late lunch after hiking all morning. When we got there around 3pm the place was pretty empty. I am thankful that they had a dedicated parking. We ordered some beers, a gyro, and their special plate of the day which was "steak" and peppers with rice. The food came at a reasonable pace. It was a very relaxing spot and the atmosphere made me feel comfortable. When the food arrived it was really hot and tasty. I was really impressed by the gyro. The pita was so soft and the fake meat was so flavorful. The red pepper sauce was also very delicious. I will be thinking about it for a while...it was THAT good. Probably my favorite meal from the trip. This would be a good place to stop before or after the Bacardi tour because they are pretty close to each other by car. Definitely make this a spot if you can!!

El punto Vegano I will begin with a remark that this hole in the wall looking restaurant had excellent 'all vegan food' but its the harrowing experience we had to face to actually get there is what I am rating. We wanted to experience using a ferry as a public transport, the restaurant was 4 min walk from the ferry station. When we reached the ferry station after an hour long search for a parking spot, we were told that today was some kind of holiday and so ferries would start only after 2 pm! There is a bus which goes there but that is hourly once. The idea was to take the ferry as already mentioned, eat in this famous vegan place, take the short Bacardi tour, before heading off to Cuave del Indio. But, it was already noon and were still in San Juan ferry station, we were running out of time so we decided to drive. We had a nasty surprise when we reached there. It was 11 in the morning on a weekday, the tiny looking restaurant was located right next to the parking lot of a huge local supermarket, which was practically empty. We parked. We, and another lady who was a localite, parked against the wall attached to the restaurant and both walked in exactly at the same time. A minute into getting the table in an almost empty restaurant, my partner realized he had forgotten the wallet in the car. He went to get it and a guy followed him and threatened us with dire consequences if we did not take the car out immediately- mind you he literally targeted us and did not even talk to the localite lady whose car was parked right next to ours and she also came into the restaurant. The restaurant people did absolutely nothing to help us. They did not even try to translate what he was waving his hands and getting all hyper about or try to calm him, the only thing we could understand was "police,police". So much drama and the other local lady who had parked beside ours was right there all the while. He looked pretty unkempt too. That only leads me to conclude one thing- he was a thief, or a local madman trying to pull a fast one. He saw the wallet and before he could lay his lands we went to get it and he grew hysterical thinking he was caught, or, that maybe that his plan was foiled. Other than this restaurant and the fact that Bacardi factory is close by (oh, u can book a tour to the Bacardi factory btw), the area is pretty run down and not recommended to be a visiting spot. Food- El punto vegano has excellent choice of burger patties including soy meat or even beyond meat patties- we got the one made with garbanzos and it was simply yummy. We also got the tortillas, which is a must try as it is completely different from anything you have ever tasted. The food portions, mind you, are not big for the price but its the taste that is unique. Albeit our appetite was hurt by what had happened but we did travel for an hour to get there so better eat right.... To sum it up food was great, the restaurant itself inside is clean and very well maintained, but go there at your own risk. For me though, its the first and last visit for sure.

Pistachio baklava...... so good

This place was such a wonderful find! Clean, nice place. We were the only ones in the place. I have to be honest it did take a bit for our food but it was so worth it! Hot fresh and so tasty. Service was great, did not get our servers name but she was sweet and helpful. If you get a chance to go here do not hesitate you will not regret it.

This was the best meal of my entire vacation. All of Natalia's recommendations were amazing. Friendly staff and amazing food. I highly recommend!

Menu is in Spanish and English  Parking exclusive around the corner!! ;-))

Service and ambiance great. The SOB beer was good but the food wasn't not so good. Their take on the mfongo was very dry, hard to swallow and fell apart into large chunks of pieces. The chick pea with artichoke starter did not have artichokes that were noticeable to me, but that dish was delicious. I would go back and try some of their other dishes since they have a great variety on their menu.

Soy quesadillas.

AWESOME!!! We are from LA and been to many different vegan places but this is the best!!!! I've never tasted any vegan food like this in my life, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I could not stop talking about how good the food was all day. Service was awesome as well, great place!

I ordered the vegan Gyro which came with fries and let me tell you this is one of the best gyros I ever had. So much so that I ordered another one to share with my friend that's how good it was. I would definitely recommend this place and the next time I'm back in Puerto Rico I would visit again

Stopped here on 2 different trips - had to come back bc the food is that good. Authentic Puerto Rican as well. I usually ask for a taste of everything and they are super accommodating. Loved the vegan coquito @ Christmas time.

Gyro!

Great food and the staff is very nice, highly recommend the gyro. Check out their daily special, you will not be disappointed.

The food was delicious and I was happy with everything I tried (two burgers, fried rice and mushrooms with chickpeas). The service was great, the staff was attentive and informative to this non-vegan eater. I tried one of their craft beers as well, which was delicious, and I'm not typically a beer drinker. The environment was clean and they complied by the covid restrictions. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend.

This place is kinda spartan, first-come, outside , but mostly under a covering, tables. It is among…read morefast food restaurant chains in this hood, but this is an interesting original. 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.

Had a great lunch on a Saturday here. Baja fish tacos were awesome - definitely recommend those…read more Also really liked the frozen mojito. Ceviche tacos were alright, not my favorite flavor.
