    The sliders were so delicious! Meat cooked to perfection. Such a great location with options for bigger groups.

    We came here for a late lunch on a Thursday. There were 9 of us (including two small children), and…read moreit was between the lunch and dinner hours so it was not busy. We were brought chips and salsa to munch on while we perused the menu. The chips were stale and definitely not fresh. I liked the salsa, but just a heads up that it's a bit spicy. The food was great other than this. Three of our party had the Tri-Juana which was a taco, burrito, and enchilada. I was told the taco shell was stale, but it was otherwise good. Three of our party had soup (I didn't get any pictures), and they said it was really good. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano sauce. I thought this was incredible. The flavor was rich, and the shredded chicken was cooked just right. It came with rice and refried beans which were also delicious. Most of us had margaritas as well. Their margarita menu is huge. I had the Caribbean Rita was refreshing and hit the spot perfectly. I would definitely have this one again. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was because even though our server was very friendly, the service was incredibly slow. We'd been there for 30 minutes before we even ordered our drinks and food. Our server was visibly busy managing many other tables. I imagine the other servers had been cut due to the time of day, but it was frustrating. (That and the stale chips). The ambiance was nice, and the location right inside the mall, close to the airport, was ideal. I would definitely go back, but I would want to try another time of day to see if the negative factors from today would be better.

    Unfortunately, this place was a disappointment. The service was very slow, although our waitress…read morewas genuinely nice, helpful, and did her best. The food itself wasn't very good. The fajitas tasted like they were made with cheaper quality ingredients, and the guacamole seemed like the premade or frozen kind rather than fresh. There was also a very loud live band, which made it difficult to enjoy the meal. The guitar amp kept scratching and cutting in and out, making the atmosphere even more unpleasant. Between the slow service, food, and loud music, I wouldn't recommend this place

    Edible but not great burgers, very poor quality fries, and not very clean…read more Food: The double bacon cheeseburger was good but not great. We ordered it with sauteed mushrooms, jalapenos, and mustard. We specifically asked if the mushrooms were fresh or canned, and we were assured they were fresh. The mushrooms tasted like horrible canned mushrooms and we picked most of them off. The bacon was miniscule. No mustard on the burger. The patties were good, and we could tell they were handmade and not frozen. We ordered the sweet potato fries and asked if they would double fry them. The lady behind the counter assured us double frying would not be an issue. The sweet potato fries were the worst we've ever had- totally soggy and only lukewarm. We ate a few and simply threw out 99% of the serving. Drinks: Craft beer available including Lagunitas IPA on draft. Service: Order at counter, pickup at counter Overall cleanliness: below average

    This is a countertop burger joint, wait in line and order and grab your food and sit at the table…read more No thrills. Employees are friendly. Food: solid good quality burger patties. Got the double cheese bacon burger. We split and asked them to cut in half and they did. The toppings of lettuce, tomato, jalapeno are delicious. Skip the mushrooms they taste jarred and have a musty earthy chewy texture which is inedible. Skip the sweet potato fries. They were soggy and inedible. We threw them away. I asked them to double fry them and they did not. Needless to say the sweet potato fries were expensive, soggy, and inedible. Beer: good selection or beer and some nice ones on tap. Cleanliness: morning it is clean but in the evening the place has filthy tables.

    We really enjoyed our visit to Semilla. The menu had a nice variety of dishes, and after a fairly…read morelong vacation up to that point, it was refreshing to find a place that blended flavors and influences from multiple cultures instead of another menu that looked much like the last place. Everything we ordered was very good, and on an extremely hot day, I was especially appreciative of how well the A/C was keeping up. I was actually a little cold--and I'm never cold. It felt so nice after getting overheated right before we got there. One thing I noticed while wandering around Old San Juan is that some restaurants likely survive on location and foot traffic alone, while others earn people seeking them out. Semilla definitely felt like the latter. It's tucked just around the corner from some of the busiest pedestrian areas, so it felt like we escaped the crowds for a little while without actually going very far. Overall, I'd happily come back. If you're staying nearby and looking for a good meal without being surrounded by the busiest tourist crowds, Semilla is well worth checking out.
