The place is small, but accept reservations. We were surprised by the wide variety of options; from local dishes, and Italian. Portions are average, but for us we ended up with full belly. We went for a second round after 9 hours of flight. We were not disappointed at all. Everything was fresh and with a great taste from El Caribe. Word of advise: take care of the infrastructure, rustic is one thing deteriorated walls in need of refacing is another thing.

Novio and I are still in Puerto Rico visiting family and he had been wanting to take me to this…read morequaint little place right behind his family home in Río Piedras. He and Momager have been going there since its opening so she gets special treatment, free dessert included. Unfortunately Momager was out of town for business and we went on a special date. We went on a Wednesday around 7pm. NOTE: the place is BYOB (bring your own beer) they serve absoluteli NO ALCOHOL, but you are allowed to bring as much as you want and they keep it cold for you and serve it whenever you desire. The place appears small and parking is limited, but is is minimalistic, clean, and classy (the place not the parking). We ordered pimientos stuffed with manchego cheese and chorizo as an appetizer and it was absolutely divine it took me all the way to Barcelona! Note: that was the special of the day and I don't know if its a set menu item, I'll have to ask Novio about that. Now for the entrees; novio being a vivacious carnivore ordered beef short ribs and I ordered half an avocado stuffed with king crab with a side salad and an arañita on the side (arañitas are a food item most common in latin america where shredded plantain bits are put together and fried, they are crunchy bites of pure joy). My entree was in the appetizer option but it was big enough to be a meal on its own. We ordered a side of mampostiao' rice but by that time we were so full we took the whole thing to go. And finally... DESSERT! I love dessert and unfortunately novio has advanced hypoglycemia and can't partake (its unfortunate for him, i truly don't mind at all). We ordered the barriguitas de abuela ( grandma bellies) which are similar to donut holes except stuffed with dulce de leche (condensed milk candy) with berries on the side. It was sooooo good and I ate all six of them as Novio watched in horror. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. If you don't drink the entire bottle of wine they cork it back up and bag it for you to take home. It's a must visit place for latin food with s twist when in Puerto Rico.

Every single appetizer was a 10/10, I would highly recommend the shrimp tempura, it was amazing! The risotto was also incredible, the texture was great and the flavor was on point. We also ordered an assortment of cocktails, my favorite was the Wild Berry mojito. The restaurant itself was busy and full of people but we had plenty of space and privacy. I will definitely be back, I can't recommend this place enough.

On cruise departure day I convinced one of my friends to walk with me to El Cuerito de la 15. I called them and they said to come by at 11:30. It's basically like an outdoor yard BBQ picnic. The place is super cool with galvanized steel walls and roof, colorful murals and "graffiti." The whole roast pig was right in front of us and looked so sad but oh so delicious! It appears to be family-run and the woman remembered my phone call. We were quickly seated. The menu is very simple. Everyone was so friendly, even the regulars! We got free samples of roast pig, chicken and 2 shots of something LOL. Potato salad and the banana dessert were good too. The lechon was perfect, we over-ordered at 1.5 pounds and couldn't finish it even though we stuffed ourselves. Two Asian Americans in pig heaven. Plus our bill was so inexpensive, the cheapest meal by far in San Juan. It was definitely worth a morning walk into the barrio, which I wouldn't recommend walking alone at night. I'd go eat again in a heartbeat.

I talked about this meal experience and especially the Pork Belly over risotto for 7 months before going again last night. Same great meal, same great experience. This has become a non-negotiable go-to whenever we go back to San Juan. The servers are polite and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. They have an extensive mocktail menu as well, which is always a nice alternative. The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming. My singular gripe was the short rib sliders appetizer special. 2 tiny sliders that taste like canned corned beef... $25. Highly recommend and will be back!

We had a very charming and friendly server explain to us the local sourcing of all the food and gave us some recommendations. Among the items we tried: Dajaos Tacos - Salmon tacos were delicious.

Lo mein Boricua - a combination of Chinese Lo mein noodles topped with a skirt steak flavored in a combination of latin and asian flavors Crispy Pork Belly - a generous slab of crispy pork belly atop a creamy risotto flavored like the Puerto Rican fried rice. I honestly would have loved to stay for a few more days just to come back and try other dishes in this charming restaurant.

At first, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were short staffed, but that did not seem to be the case. The amount of time between ordering drinks, receiving appetizers, and finally getting our meals was simply too long. There were stretches where we were left waiting without much communication or attention from the staff, which took away from the overall experience. On the positive side, the restaurant itself is very nicely designed and has a great atmosphere that fits perfectly with the laid back, tropical lifestyle of Puerto Rico. It is an inviting space and definitely looks like a place where you would expect to have a great local dining experience. Overall, the food was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but the slow and inattentive service kept the experience from being what it could have been. Hopefully we just caught them on an off night.
