Amazing food and friendly staff: "We put so much love into everything we make!" The birria quesadilla is absolutely mind-blowing.

Great spot for dinner. We were looking for a change of pace for dinner while in San Juan for a…read moreholiday weekend and decided to stop in for dinner. The server was accommodating and got us a seat for our party of 4 very quickly. I believe it was a one man show that night and he was running between all the tables, but was very efficient and had a great attitude which made any waiting we might've had to do worth while. The inside was clean and had a good vibe with nice music playing. Our table shared as an appetizer the green chile ceviche, which was very good and could itself be enough for a main meal for two people. My wife got the quesa-birria tacos and I got the governor shrimp tacos. All were great meal choices, the tacos were stuffed with meat and very filling. A great spot for people looking for some tasty Mexican food in San Juan.

Entramos por casualidad, pero quedamos encantados!! El sazón de la comida estaba bien rica, creo…read moreque cualquier mexicano estaría feliz aquí. Ordenamos las tostadas de camarones (mi plato favorito), tacos de pescado, y los frijoles. Todo estaba sabroso. Las porciones y el precio eran muy razonables. El lugar no tiene mucho espacio, pero atienden bien rápido. Solo que los asientos son muy altos, así que no lo recomiendo para familias con niños chiquitos. Great food! Recommend the shrimp tostadas. The order of beans was also good, reminded me of my childhood meals lol. Space is tight, but you'll get seated quickly as the staff are pretty attentive. Prices are pretty reasonable and the portions are fair.

I'm living across the street, so I've been here a few times. Zero issues. A few times I've had to…read morewait, but the place was packed, with a line of folks waiting to be seated. Most folks are locals looking for a good meal at a reasonable price, and this restaurant is a practical choice. It's been clean everytime I've been here, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. The staff works with me since I'm Deaf, and lip-reading Spanish is 25% lip-reading and 75% guessing/filling in the blanks. Edit: Its important to mention that outside of the mainland US, when you say BBQ, you're thinking smoked meats like Kansas BBQ, Texas BBQ, Memphis BBQ with a variety of BBQ sauces, but in countries like Philippines and here in Puerto Rico if simply means like your backyard BBQ on your gas grill. Zero smoked flavor and sauces.

Walked into Lechonera Diego excited to try it, but the experience started rough. It took 15 minutes…read morejust to get a menu. Once we finally ordered, things got worse: a group that sat at the bar a full 20 minutes after we arrived got their food before us. We ended up waiting over an hour total for our food. When it finally came out, it was cold and just not good. After that long of a wait, we expected the food to at least make up for it, but it didn't. Between the slow service and the disappointing food, I can't recommend this spot right now or will I come back.

My wife and I were in Puerto Rico for a week and I had heard of El Vagon on Yelp and it was about a…read moremile walk from our hotel. The waitress was nice, but really didn't speak English, so I ordered a Corona and ceviche tacos. The food was brought out quickly in this open air patio and the tacos were perfect. Sweet, yet with a pickled tang. Good stuff. If you are in for a walk for some reasonable food and beer, I would go here off the main strip of San Juan!

This place is kinda spartan, first-come, outside , but mostly under a covering, tables. It is among…read morefast food restaurant chains in this hood, but this is an interesting original. We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

Made same day reservations for 2pm, didn't realize they close from 3pm-5pm which may be the reason our service was somewhat slow. We were sat immediately however we waited some time to order and receive our drinks. Our waitress returned with our drinks, house chips, and took our food order. We ordered the Birria tacos, the Carne Asada, Mini Elote-appetizer, Panela Frita-appetizer, truffle fries. Modelo, mimosa, Cenote, and Espresso Mezcalito to drink. The food took a little longer to come out than I would have expected and did not come out all at once. The consume for the Birria Tacos was a little too thick and the tacos should be served with lime to cut the flavor of the Birria. Over all flavor was good but could have been more authentic with some diced onion and lime. The "Carne Asada" was actually just a steak (flavor was great) but this is not carne asada. The "Pico" was supposed to come with plátano which left the Pico as just cherry tomatoes and few red onions. Very underwhelming. The appetizers were very good however the guava sauce did not seem to set well (not sure if it was microwaved or what), it stuck to all of our teeth. The flavor was also very mild and dull. Overall decent experience at what I understood to be a new restaurant, customer service was good, could use some fine tuning.
