Staff was very friendly, which I appreciate :) Tbh, I thought the food was only okay. The shrimp and the mofongo were good, but the fried (parrot?)fish was disappointing; it was overly fried and chewy imho. My personal favorite part is all the jabbering birds trying to steal our food :) A couple brave ones even landed on our table to try to sneak some bits away. I find them adorable, but I imagine most people would not like this, so that's something to think about if you're eating outside (same for all kiosks though)

Octopus Rellenas Fresh octopus slices cooked and served ceviche style with white onions and red peppers stuffed into an empanada like crust - great opening choice. Churrasco skirt steak with rice and pineapple (off menu special) amazing dish with rice so deep in fresh sweet pineapple with bits of medium rare skirt steak. Works like a charm for leftovers too. Mango Fresca Sweet but very refreshing on a normal hot day. Compared to many of the fried-focused kiosks, this is a hands down winner if you're looking for quality food and service. That's all.

The crab salad taste like imitation but it was still pretty good. I wanted a piece of birthday cake to take home and eat in peace but they only had molten cake. I opted for the fried cheesecake. The pastry couldve been fried a little longer as it was soggy. It came with ice cream and honey drizzled on top. I took a few bites but didnt finish it cause I was already stuffed.

The food was pretty…read moregood, and we loved the energy and the live band here... but what really set this place apart was how friendly the staff was! When we arrived, the main room was packed, and the few open tables were reserved. The host asked us if we'd be okay sitting in another room. I explained that we're visiting, and we wouldn't mind waiting for a table to open up where the live band section is. Upon hearing this, they were nice enough to accommodate us and make it happen. Special shoutout to our server! Unfortunately, I forget her name (it's been a month), but I remember she had this AMAZING makeup on, with lots of colorful beads in beautiful patterns across her face, as well as lovely hands with really fun nails and rings. She was so lovely and friendly, and she really made our night! If you see this, thank you :)

We only got 3 items of food: Longaniza, Bacalaitos and Octupus salad with Pulpo. Longaniza was deep friend with chimichurri sauce (was not the deep color I was expecting) tasted like pork chop chunks, octopus salad my hubby ate said it need more olive oil and the pieces were not consistent and chunky; there were pieces that were too small-he said it didn't taste bad but a traditional octopus salad. The prices were way over: Maybe other meals are worth it but I probably would not visit again

As soon as we arrived, we saw that they had a very large variety of different wines, which was cool, and a pretty nice menu offering all different types of Caribbean food! We went with our favorites, which were empanadas, rice and beans and mofongo! Service was great, and everyone was really friendly! Highly recommend!

Go to Bistro Del Mar for the fish tacos. They're the reason to come…read more You get fresh, flavorful fish with just the right seasoning. The textures work. The toppings don't overpower anything. Every bite feels balanced and worth it. Be ready to wait. The food takes a while to come out. Plan for it and don't come starving. That said, the tacos make up for it. You'll forget the wait once you start eating. Also plan for the setup. There isn't much shade during the day, so think ahead if you're coming earlier. Bring what you need or come at a better time. We went at night, and it was perfect. The atmosphere felt calm and easy, with a great breeze and a relaxed vibe. Sit back, take your time, and enjoy it.

I really wanted fried fish in San Juan and got recommended El Jibarito…read more We went almost near their closing time, unknowingly and still got to be able to sit and got my craving in for fried fish! It's a casual restaurant with limited seating that I think is also a bit popular. When we walked in to dine and we did have to wait a bit and put our name down on the waiting list. However, the time flew by I think it was maybe 20 minutes max and we were able to be seated at a table. My partner ordered the steak, but I wasn't the biggest fan of it. it did come with the plantain side. That was super delicious. Overall, for the both of us and a couple of drinks we spent US$90 with tip and each entrée was about $35-$30.

We arrived at 11am on a Monday because that's when we thought they opened. They actually opened at 11:30am, so we were 2nd in line at 11am. Once 11:30am rolled around, the line was very long. It's an old house that was transformed into a restaurant. It's pretty big in there and they have an upstairs as well. It really feels like you're eating in a Caribbean home, from the colorful tablecloth to the things on the tables. The menu is on a board, and they have a Spanish and English version. They give you a cup of complimentary plantain soup which was amazing. We also ordered the fried cheese app which came with a delicious guava sauce. For mains, I had the fried pork with tostones and my husband had the mamposteado (corned beef, fried eggs, and rice). My husband cleaned his plate, while I took leftovers back to the hotel (which we actually ate later because it was that good). They were out of tres leches that day, so we had the coconut pudding for dessert. It was my first time trying coconut pudding and it did not disappoint! For drinks, we had the passionfruit sangria. When we left, there was a very long line outside. Despite the line, they did not rush us out. Definitely recommend and would go out of my way to come back next time I'm in PR.

Keepin' it a buck! Eating here is like eating the ultimate home-cooked Puerto Rican meal…read more Rating places in Puerto Rico is tough. There are so many spots that are authentic and incredible, but La Casita Blanca stands out in its own lane. It's gotten more popular and touristy over the years, but that's because they've stayed true to who they are. The authenticity here hasn't changed, and that's exactly why people keep coming. This is the kind of place where the menu brings you right back to your upbringing. You'll find dishes like corned beef, tostones con bacalao, and other classics that just hit differently. And the vibe? It feels like family. Someone who looks like your aunt might be cooking your food, your cousin might be serving it, and everyone treats you like you belong there. Food-wise, everything we had was fire. One of the people I was with is basically an "aguacateologist," and even he said it was one of the best he's ever had. That alone says a lot. Chuletas fried to a perfect golden crisp. The pollo fricasé (pollo guisado, if you know, you know) was on point and even came in a little pot that made it feel extra homey. Arroz con gandules? Off the hook!!!! And to top it all off, they had salsa playing in the background... which honestly had me sold the moment I walked in. Disclaimer/Warning; There will be a line!!! And if you're lucky enough to get a table, sit back and enjoy every second of it.

While we…read morealready ate elsewhere, I decided to grab a snack while passing by this kiosk to try out some local eats. We got one chicken and one crab item for $8. First of all, it's super pricey but I guess that's being a tourist trap here. But I could excuse it since we're on vacation, but it was completely inedible! The food was cold and hard from probably sitting around all day. There was hardly any meat inside while just tasting like some crunchy hard piece of oil batter. Save yourself and skip this place.

I got a mojito and it was super strong. It's a little dingy inside but it was fine. They had some of the best looking frituras we had seen so it was worth it.

The menu has so many creative options that I honestly wish I could try them all in one sitting. The live music added such a lively and enjoyable atmosphere, making the experience even better. Our server was also so phenomenal , upon arrival everyone was very friendly. Whether you're local or just visiting Puerto Rico, this spot is a must-try. Can't wait to come back!
