    Primarily pastelillos but have other items like arepas, frituras, and seafood salads. But the…read morespecialty is pastelillos. About 20 different filling options: meat, chicken, lobster, shrimp, cheese, combos with cheese, guava, and even nutella... . Tasty, filling, and with a Medalla or 3, can't beat it.

    This little shack is very popular since it's on the beach and people are hungry after a day of…read moreswimming and laying around on the beach in Puerto Rico. It's a hard life. What's nice about this place is that they offer a variety of the fried foods Puerto Rico is known for- alcapurrias (fried fritters) and pastelillos (empanadas). I ordered the pastelillos de jueye (crab), garrucho (conch- HIGHLY recommended!!), pulpo (octopus), and Pollo (chicken). The 2 favorites of mine were the conch and octopus because the chunks of meat were so ginormous! They were also flavorful and fresh! You can tell they weren't stored for a while on some shelf. They tasted like they were caught that morning. One caveat about this place is that if they run out of food, they will tell you it's about a 5-10 minute wait to make more. Not the case. It took them upwards of about 30 minutes to make it and they did not seem like they were in a rush to make it. That is a big put off. That's why this is only a 4 star review and not a 5 star. They'd make more business if they were faster.

    Top bar in the Caribbean and #26 in North America, so had to visit and did not disappoint. 4.5…read morestars Highlights: - Excellent drinks: from their champeta which was run ginger pineapple to pornstar martini to a classic daquiri and even a pina colada, the bartenders know what they are doing. - 6 different rooms to visit each with a different vibe and some different cocktails - Main entrance: front room with big windows was cool to pass through - Vino: wine based cocktails in a smaller spot - Shing A 'Ling: salsa room with dance floor and bands or DJs was the liveliest. Loved watching everyone no matter how old get into the groove. - El Final: red room with DJ booth for more dancing fun - El Desvío: Super small 10-seat candlelit area slightly hidden - La Cubanita: where we parked ourselves to chill Lowlights: - Weekend nights gets very crowded with a line out front in the heart of the nightlife area in old town.

I never had a bad drink here out of the two nights and many drinks had. The layout is amazing with multiple rooms, bars, and DJs. Anything from techno, pop mixes, to latin. Yes i did salsa with the love of my life. No that has no influence on my review haha. Definitely recommend for a night out!! During the weekday we didn't have a line but it was still full inside. On a Friday we had a short line at 10:30 and it was packed.

Great access to trackside to watch the horses pre-race and lovely seating at the Mexican restaurant on the 2nd level. This is a great way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend.

    Crap. Bird crap, to be specific. All over the stands…read more Looking for something to keep my gambling-loving grandpa occupied for a few hours, we consulted the internetz, and some people recommended this horseracing track as a fun, unique activity outside of San Juan. These reviewers had eaten in the track's restaurant and had great things to say about it. "The food is yummy." "It has big windows overlooking the track." "It's airconditioned." All very important things. However, when we called the Hipodromo that Sunday morning (and finally were connected to a real person after multiple attempts), they were unable to tell us when exactly the restaurant opened for lunch (around 12:30 probably... or maybe closer to 1:30). Also, the first race didn't start until (maybe probably) around 3 PM, so we would have had to wait for a while with a great view of an empty track. We checked out the menu online, and the food seemed pricey for what it was, so we decided to eat lunch in Carolina on the way over and just come to check out some races. I'll admit the restaurant does look pretty nice, and the people inside looked happy. For good reason. They get to hang out in a glass fishtank with great views and airconditioning while the rest of us are stuck in the stands which offer backless benches literally covered in trash and pigeon poo. Ew. Now I understand why the food in there is pricey; the space alone makes it worth it. Us lower-class horse-watchers were left in the hot outdoor stands, mostly viewing an empty track and waiting since all the start times of the races were late. I'll admit it was kind of fun to bet on the horses. The minimum bet was $2, so I went all out on a win for a horse because I liked his name (Guagua Escolar.. which translates to Schoolbus). Surprisingly, this Scholarly Bus indeed won, so I walked away with a whopping $4.60 (well technically $2.60 since it cost me $2 to play). The Hipodromo Camarero was definitely a different experience. We probably would have enjoyed our time more had we been inside the restaurant, but the outdoors section made us feel pretty dirty and isn't somewhere you'd want to be for an extended period of time. Gambler grandad didn't even put money down, which is saying something. I was outta there after 2 laps around the track, with an extra $2.60 jingling in my pocket and an immediate desire to go do my laundry.
