We paid over $50 it was good and all but sheesh I can only think the reason for the prices is because it's a small business home grown but yea if it wasn't for the price I would have gave it 5 stars

I had the protein lover bagel, but it was a little oily for me. But I mean, that's usually normal with bacon and all the other meats in there. The Dominican special was simple and good, it was not oily. The bread was fluffy and crunchy. Everything on the plate just went well together! I asked for hot sauce, and they gave a Puerto Rican brand hot sauce! Other restaurants will always offer me tobasco or siracha, which is fine. But I'm in Puerto Rico, and I want to try hot sauce brands from this place!

We had plans to get dinner after our coconuts but once we learned what this spot was all about we determined there was no longer a need to go anywhere else. Jonas Serrano is the beautiful mind behind Phyt NYC and has a gym in the same building. He also happens to sometimes be at the cafe ensuring guests with good vibes only are welcomed in. We had the entire space to ourselves on our last night on the island. It couldn't have been more perfect. The food was so good we ordered an extra plate to go for the plane ride the next day. BEST. IDEA. EVER. Thanks to Jonas I had a healthy, delicious meal to keep me satiated on my long haul home. And our last evening in Condado was perfect! After a stressful and busy workweek this was the ideal place to unwind. We had a lovely perch above the busy street below and enjoyed giving Junior (the adorable resident pup) lots of love. If you are a low-key visitor looking for a relaxing space and delicious meal look no further. Don't expect to be served if you are unruly or just looking for your next drink. This is not the place for all that. Have a seat, meet Junior, enjoy the breeze, and if you're lucky, learn a thing or two from Jonas!

Café Don Ruiz - A Little Coffee Museum in Old San Juan…read more Café Don Ruiz is a charming little coffee shop tucked inside the Cuartel de Ballajá in Old San Juan.

It definitely feels like a spot to bring a date or group. That was probably my only positive takeaway from this. The menu you came off inauthentic, fancy for fancy sake. Up until this point I ate restaurants that served up authentic Puerto Rican or Latino comfort food. This place felt like a derailment and left me disappointed and unsatisfied. Looking at the menu for one, I didn't see anything that appealed to me. Then some friends pointed out one of the dishes were ropa vieja. I was excited and thought the restaurant had redeemed itself. I thought I was getting ropa vieja with plantains. Instead I got something that resembled piononos and looked like it would leave me hungry. Still, I stayed open minded. I wanted to get piononos during my trip. Truth is, I forgot what I ordered. The food was alright but too salty. Probably the worst thing I had on my trip. I'm not saying it wasn't good because it was decent. I wouldn't order it or recommend it though unless you get an appetizer. Hell, people on my table wondered if it was an appetizer. I'm not the only one who ordered it. The other two who did enjoyed it but one would later admit he thought it was too salty. He didn't want to be a downer on what was already turning into a disappointing dinner. Speaking of, service was slow. I think we waited a hour for our food. It was getting everyone annoyed. One of my friends had ordered mussels alongside a risotto and got tired of waiting. He told them to just pack his mussels to go. At one point they brought another dish that no one ordered. It was meant for a different table. So yeah, it wasn't a great dinner. Needless to say I wouldn't come back here unless I was trying to impress someone.
