When I came to San Juan last in 2014 I swore that I would return and get some more mofongo here…read more. and I did! I may not be here all the time (though I'd love to be), but when I come.. I need to go here. If it seems that I base some of my travel (*most of my travel) around food, well..that may be true..! Conveniently located in Viejo (Old San Juan) you can find this little kiosk at the plaza de colon, the central square in the old part of town with the statue of the guy on a tall post. Can't miss it - truly. The kiosk has a couple of quick, delicious (to go) options available .. hence the punny name. Thirsty? Get some fresh, tangy lemonade. Or better yet.. buy a fresh young coconut.. they will drill a hole in it for you and give you a straw. So good! Hungry? Well.. listen up. Get an alcapurria or two, these things are so good you'll probably want another. They are essentially fried oblong things filled with meat, cheese and surrounded by a mixture of plantain and yucca. Crispy but also soft on the outside with a savory meat filling.. quite addicting! Then, mofongo wise they have several options which is kindof neat if you want to change it up. To start you pick your base, either regular mashed plantain, sweet mashed plantain, mashed yucca, or trifongo; ra combination of all three. Then, you pick your topping.. I recommend the beef paired with regular green plantain. The veggie is quite good as well, it has several different kinds of marinated beans in the mix.

A picture is worth a thousand words and i gotta tell you - this place is worth checking out.read more

Pleasant, prompt service at the perrrrrfect price. GO! ~Christy

Authentic Puerto Rican food that is sure to hit the spot! I went on a hiking tour with Jerry's…read moreAdventures and we decided to stop by for some food on our way back. The food was served family style for our group of 11. Every single item I tasted was so flavorful and tasted amazing! The yucca was by far my favorite, garlicky and just perfect. Other items brought out included pork, beans, rice, plantains,chicken and maybe a few more. The view was amazing as well. Definitely worth every penny! And don't forget about desert... the flan and cheesecake is awesome!

Great food and drinks all at reasonably low-prices. The staff was friendly and spoke english. I enjoyed people watching as I ate my meals and surfed on my phone. They also have a pastry case that tempts you while eating. They told me the pastries are made there. I purchased several pastries for my co-workers and they were a hit. No alcohol. It is clean, tasty and worth a try if you are in the neighborhood!

So I requested sauce, after waiting the longest for her to come around; when she brought just a bit, was literally cold! She would not pay attention to our order.

The front staff unprofessional, not able to explain simple ingredients of a few meals. Terrible experience eating cold, vinegar-tasting simple, expensive meal.
