The Birra quesadillas were perfectly crispy and cheesy on the outside and delicious and packed with flavour on the inside especially dipped in the consume. We had an al pastor taco as well which in hindsight I should've put salsa on because it was a bit dry but the quality of the corn tortilla was chefs kiss. It was quiet enough to have a conversation. We didn't go upstairs but the seating we sat on was fine for a quick bite! We'll be back for sure

The server was accommodating and got us a seat for our party of 4 very quickly. I believe it was a one man show that night and he was running between all the tables, but was very efficient and had a great attitude which made any waiting we might've had to do worth while. The inside was clean and had a good vibe with nice music playing. Our table shared as an appetizer the green chile ceviche, which was very good and could itself be enough for a main meal for two people. My wife got the quesa-birria tacos and I got the governor shrimp tacos. All were great meal choices, the tacos were stuffed with meat and very filling. A great spot for people looking for some tasty Mexican food in San Juan.

We sat outside in a cozy alleyway, fairly quiet on a Friday night which was appreciated. Service was great throughout- attentive and friendly. We ordered the steak burrito and the pork belly tacos. The steak burrito was good with large pieces of steak and a good amount of cilantro - very flavorful. The pork belly tacos were full of sticky caramelized pork belly and topped with a yummy cabbage slaw. The tortillas also held up very well! Overall, delicious and would recommend!

The waitress was nice, but really didn't speak English, so I ordered a Corona and ceviche tacos. The food was brought out quickly in this open air patio and the tacos were perfect.

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.

My Husband and I are in Puerto Rico to celebrate our 40th anniversary…read more Besides Puerto Rican food we decided to try TomatePR because we love Mexican and the reviews were great. We were married in Zihuataneho Mexico, were spoiled with good Mexican food living in Chicago, and find after moving outside Nashville, we have craved better Mexican food, so we came here. Gina came to our table to make sure all was OK with wait staff, and food we were eating. Well, it was MORE than OK! Food was wonderful, made fresh, and all questions and requests were answered. She did make us feel like "old friends", and after a long incredible dinner, she offed us 2 tequila shots, and played our "special married song" for our special anniversary. We both had tears in our eyes as that was so special. She took photos for Facebook (but we do not belong) so we are hoping she texts them to my husband who gave her our number. Thank you Gina, all the people who took care of us. Please go there for an excellent meal, margaritas, and the best service. We are going to try to go back before this vacation ends. G&B
