    Passion fruit juice
    Krystal G.

    Beautifully decorated inside, light & airy. Everyone is very friendly & polite. Drinks come fast, but food is a longer wait. Several seating options to choose from: bar area & a variety of tables in front, and then a smaller more secluded seating area in the back. We chose to sit at the back where it was more relaxing. Everything is clean. The passion fruit is fresh & delicious! After 45 mins of waiting for food we asked how long it would be. And then we were told there was no Avacado for one of our meals.. 45 mins is a long time to wait and say they are out of the main ingredient for a meal. Unfortunately the longer we waited for food and the wait for not telling us about one of the main ingredients for food and a table sitting down way after us getting their food 1st knocked the rating down from 5 to 3 stars.

    The vibe and hospitality is great! The food and drinks were amazing. A definite must try.

    Fish tacos
    Sharon O.

    Perfect place for brunch when visiting Old San Juan. We were seated in this cozy corner with a window overlooking the park. We ordered the fish tacos, veggie omelette & soursop mimosas. Everything was so good & flavorful. Customer service was standard. They were busy as expected. Start your day here when visiting Old San Juan

    The staff were very friendly and lively. The food was delicious and tastes very fresh. There was one waiter who raised my spirits on my way out and as a tourist I really appreciate how at ease his attitude and spirits made me feel! La Caretta is the place to go for sure in Puerto Rico.

    Very quaint place. Open air with center bar. Menus on Yelp were quite out dated. Pleasant servers.

    Broken eggs

    Avocado toast

    The food is delicious and the customer service is amazing. Every time I visit P.R. This is my go to spot for delicious food. I love the ambiance it is modern but with an old fashioned twist. It is in Old San Juan so you know that many of these places have beautifully maintained and historical buildings. This restaurant is one of them. So, if you're in town I highly recommend going.

    Make sure to look at bill before paying

    They were out of the bacon and cheese croquettes (which they didn't let us know u til 15 minutes after placing our order) which was disappointing. We didn't see our server after we placed our food orders, My sisters got their food about 20 minutes before we got mine, still didn't see our server at that time so we waved down one of the cooks. We were charged twice for the "unlimited water". My sister got the Sous Vide Chicken which was phenomenal. It was three different types of mofongo stuffed with delicious chicken. The truffle fries with the cilantro aioli was delicious.

    Great food and great service but the food did come out a little slow. This is a great and affordable breakfast option.

    Sooo expensive and sloooowwwwww. It's a cute little place and the server was nice but did not speak real great English. The food was pretty good but not many gluten free or vegan options.

    Great food, very poor service at the tables. Much better at the bar. But incredibly slow even for simple stuff.

    The food was amazing. Little bit slow on the service. However, the food more than made up for it.

    We were seated and greeted by a male waiter. When we asked for a wine menu, we were told there was…read moreonly one white and one red wine available, priced at $11 per glass or $33 per bottle (a Ribera Del Duero). We took a moment to decide whether to get a bottle or just go by the glass. We ordered boquerones and asked about the croquetas, including the price of an off-menu assortment. The waiter said he did not know the price and would have to place the order to find out. He then said he would give us a few minutes to decide. When he returned he was all worked up, and told us that we were "in the wrong restaurant" and that if we found the wine or food too expensive, this was not the place for us. We had not commented on pricing--only asked standard questions. He then said he would not serve us. A different server took over and was professional and helpful. We ended up ordering a bottle of red wine, croquetas, and several tapas. Unfortunately, the initial interaction significantly affected the experience. Asking about prices and menu options should not result in being dismissed. Also, the chorizo al vino was disappointing.

    FYI the prominent sign: "BOXLAB"@ Elchampi can be confusing to find…read more Stumbled into this Spanish Tapas place right across from where apparently Spanish Explorer Ponce DeLeon is entombed. There are three restaurants that have a few outdoor tables to watch folks come and go. It's the third one down a rather severe sloped, romantic tree-lined cobblestone street to where a thick entrance through a fortified wall with historic sentry placements that guard the estuary at sunset. The small blue-tiled bar greets you into an intimate cavern with little rickety tables and curved whitewashed brick walls. Great cocktails with beers, sangria, and a signature pina cojito. Croquettes, chorizo, fried potatoes, ham, cheese, ceviche all come on shared plates. Everything is made to order and hot, so be patient. They do lots of paella to order. The paella mariscos was great and rice was perfect, fresh, moist and seasoned. Service is welcoming and quick. Can fill up quickly and sound loud like a busy Chinese restaurant in Spanish.
