    Their grill spot

    Very tasty good I ve got for lunch. We had fried red snapper and fried green plantain (tostones) and a little salad. I've got passion fruit margarita and was delicious

    Fried Pork Chop with tostones-not sweet, side Trifongo, side rice mixed with beans
    Nina R.

    This restaurant was recommended to me by the folks that work at the beach chair and umbrella rental up the road at the beach. Excellent recommendation. To start, I had a chicken and cheese empanada, and a mango mojito. For the entree I had fried pork chops, with Trifongo (mixture of green plantain, yucca and sweet plantain), rice and beans, and tostones. Since I was staying at a hostel, I ordered enough to have leftovers for the next day. This place became more crowded as the early evening came on. I arrived around 6pm. By the time I left at 7:30, it was packed. There is an open grille at the entrance of the restaurant so you can watch them grilling meats. Relaxed and casual vibes. This is an after the beach, popular restaurant. Food was pretty good. Service was solid, nothing over the top. I would return.

    We went on a final excursion for food before we headed back to the states. We were so glad we found these kiosk and food places over here. This one in particular was just a gut feeling, and it left my gut very HAPPY! This place was not busy when we arrived but by the time we left it was hopping! The service at first was a little questionable due to my limited spanish, but we found a way to communicate effectively and ended up ordering a bunch of different items and a couple of drinks. The place is an open walled restaurant right off the road and the view is ever changing. There is no doubt this is authentic Puerto Rican fare. We were watching them prepare these items over open flames and open wood fired grills. Overall the service was excellent even with language barriers! All of the food we tried from fresh shrimp, to candied papaya and barbeque chicken from the grill. Everything was delicious. Super fresh and very tasty food that I wish we found on the first day -instead of on the last day! The prices and value are amazing! If you go to San Juan - Go here first! Day or Night - these places are making amazing local food!

    This is our family's go to spot as soon as we land in PFR. Excellent service, food and vibes. Very reasonable pricing. Our go to: yucca, alcapurria, bacalaito, empanadilla.

    La comida siempre siempre deliciosa! Mi parada favorita en piñones tienen estacionamiento y siempre hay donde sentarse.

    Located in Pinoñes near the beach. We randomly stopped by because the place was full and we are so glad we did. We got an alcapurria with crab, pastellito with chicken, and a chicken pincho. The pincho was made fresh on the grill and was so tasty that once we finished our food, we had to order another one. You can see a man grilling the pinchos right in front of you and a lady frying the alcapurrias/pastellitos fresh!

    Almond cake made by a local baker. Soooooo goooood

    Everything was amazing!!! A definite must place to eat! . Authentic Puerto Rican food.

    Hipi Cache is located in a strip of many open air restaurants in Piñones. It was recommended by locals and hidden away from touristy areas. It was about a 15 minute drive from Condado. The meals were by far the best authentic food we had so far on our visit. I opted for red snapper with yuca mofongo. The fish was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Yuca mofongo was flavorful and satisfying. The service was great and staff was friendly.

    Ostras!

    We loved going to this restaurant near pinones. We ordered, oysters, snapper, chicken bbq, octopus and ceviche. Excellent flavor, not overpowering, and we felt the seafood was fairly fresh. My favorite was the oysters, which were large and great with a lime. Everyone else liked the fish and octopus as well. We had fresh coconut as well, which was nice but it wasn't as flavorful as I've had elsewhere (It may not be in season right now). Would 100% recommend a visit! Wish we had more time to visit again.

    One of the best spots we found in pinones. This place probably had one of the best mofongos we had on this trip! It was an amazing texture and the aioli they provided was the perfect compliment to be dish! The service was slow though, we almost left because they did not put our order in for a while!

    I stopped here while in Loiza waiting to pick someone up from the airport. It is across the street from Pinones beach. I got there about 11a.m. on a Sunday and it was not busy. By 12:30 they were packed and had someone directing parking which helped a lot of people. The fried park was tasty but half was juicy and half was dry and overcooked. The conch was delicious and the dozen Oysters are definitely worth the thirty bucks. It's very casual, my daughter and I sat under a fan far from the smoking hot grills. The waitress was sweet and attentive. She spoke minimal English which was ok since the menu had English. I love the area with all the little shops. Traffic can be a bit heavy in the area.

    Pincho Pollo ($3 per skewer). The sauce on the chicken reminds me of a teriyaki/Polynesian sauce. Tasty! 9/8/23
    Lo T.

    There are plenty of restaurants in the area but this one had the best looking Chicken Skewers (Pincho Pollo) on display so we decided to give them a try. The chicken skewers were $3 each, meat pie (don't know the name) $2 each, and the Pina colada was $6 each. Very affordable if you are in the area. The place also looked bright and had plenty of people. We were glad to have found this gem. We'd definitely come back to try more items! 9/8/23

    Various fried food
    Carey W.

    This is by far one of the memorable food experiences I have had in San Juan. The menu was mostly in spanish, so we just ordered various fried food...and it was amazing! For uncultured gringos like me, the alcapurria is a small fried dough bar with meat on the inside and it is great. The pincho is a large kabob that is to die for. The pinono is a plantain made fried dough with meat on the inside and is amazing. Pastelillos are empanadas with meat on the inside and a must try! The frappe here are very strong if you add alcohol and is really really good and affordable.

Waiters are so kind and patient, but just know the actual service can be veryyyy slow. For any sit down restaurants, always be ready to spend ~2 hours on average lol. Sometimes it's faster but sometimes it's slower... Many of the reviews give low ratings due to service/timeliness, but that's just a Puerto Rico standard so I don't think they should get dinged (!)

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.

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.
