    We stopped by Lote 23 for dinner one night during our time in San Juan, and it was such a cool spot! This open-air food park has a variety of food stalls, making it easy for everyone in the group to find something they love. Our group enjoyed pizza, steamed buns, and Korean stir-fry, but there were tons of options to choose from--something for everyone. A live band added to the fantastic atmosphere, there was plenty of seating, and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean and well-maintained for a food truck-style setup. Highly recommend checking out Lote 23--it's a great spot with a fun vibe and a perfect place to satisfy a variety of cravings all in one place!

    Since I last posted a review, I've noticed a few changes the couple of times I've been back. Two new food stands opened: La Neta (Mexican) and Cool Hope Creamery (Ice Cream). I recommend checking out Cool Hope. Very good ice cream. I posted a review on their page... FYI, each business here has a Yelp page. On the flip side, two stands recently closed. Dorotea's Pizza and Tía Dora are no more. Huge bummer for me because Tía Dora was my favorite spot here. Good news is they are set to open a new location in Ocean Park soon. I'm hoping that one of the businesses that comes in to replace the two that left is an Asian eatery as there is currently no Asian option. I still like coming here. It provides a family friendly environment with good food, drinks, and vibes. On my last visit this past weekend, I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich from Hen House and liked it. The ice cream at Cool Hope was excellent and, as usual, the fries at Bayard were bomb. Haven't been here in the evenings as of late. We've usually dropped by on a Sunday afternoon. So I'm not sure if they've brought back live music. Several of the stands, if not all, accept Apple Pay. My only complaint is that the stands tend to be out of items on Sunday. Maybe it's because the weekends are busy and they sell out by Sunday. Maybe we've been unlucky and just happened to visit the Sundays they are light on items. Next time I'm coming another day and see. So, that would be my tip - keep in mind that if you come on a Sunday some of the stands may be sold out of certain items.

    Lote 23 in Santurce is well worth a visit for lunch or dinner if you seek a casual and delicious alternative to other restaurants in OSJ or Condado. My wife, two teenage sons (16 yrs, 14 yrs), and I stopped by here on a Friday at 1:30pm after a morning beach visit to Pinones (Playa Vacia Talega). On the plus side, Lote 23 is kid-friendly with outdoor seating. It's a clever idea to bring a wide variety of food trucks (Cool Hope Creamery, Burgers, Arepas, Tacos, Poke, etc.) in one plaza location. We enjoyed the tacos (salmon, ribs) and salsa appetizer platter from one stall. My 16 year old son enjoyed his cheesteak and fresh-cut steak-size French fries. My wife loved the arepas from Budare (chicken I think). Waiting time can be 5-10 minutes per order. On the minus side, Lote 23 is difficult to find in Santurce as it's somewhat hidden between buildings. Parking in that area can be rough as well. But overall, I would strongly recommend a visit here for lunch or dinner if you're skeptical that a kid-friendly, delicious meal in San Juan exists.

    During our stay in San Juan (disclaimer: we stayed in Old San Juan) we did not have good dining experiences anywhere, really. I'm not even going to review them. On our last day, after driving around the island, we made our way to Santurce. Honestly, we couldn't figure this place out. Things were closing early, but then many spots didn't open til late. Luckily, we found Lote 23. It made me wish that we'd driven out of Old San Juan and eaten here during those days of our trip instead. This place is huge. There are so many options that you might feel overwhelmed. This is why I wish we'd come and then come back again. There's a fried chicken spot, a burger spot, pizza, arepas, pernil, and more. I chose Pernileria los Proceres and thank god I did. Unforgettable meal. The arepa spot was also good. Lots of picnic seating, plenty of places to get a beer or cocktail. This is where you should eat in Santurce.

    Lote 23 is a very cute food truck area in Santurce. Unfortunately, we arrived a little after 8pm and many of the food trucks had either run out of food or were closed. I ordered from the burger truck. They had good vegan options and I ended up ordering the beyond burger frita cubana with the strawberry lemonade (I'm not vegan, but I've been eating too much meat on this trip). The burger and lemonade were great. Burger was well seasoned with a red sauce topped with little papitas (fries). The lemonade was on the thick side and not too sweet. Would recommend this spot for a casual date or night out with friends while getting to know San Juan.

    This little gem of a place is hidden and located between two big buildings in the middle of a city. You wouldn't believe your eyes what is inside. Inside the place there are this little cabin style stands. Most are the same stand. Each one is a different food stand. I saw a pizza, poke, fried chicken, Jerusalem street food, Natura juices, Venezuelan food, burgers and bars. Very clean and spacious area with plenty of chickens walking around lol. Workers goes around sanitizing the tables and picking up things. The tables are pretty spaced from each other and everyone's wearing a mask. They have a stage. I was told that live music is played but not now because of the virus. They do have nice happy music playing all the time. I was told that this is a dancing place too but not now again for the virus. I only had a coconut drink. It was nice. But the atmosphere here is cool to visit.

    Tuna poke and tacos

    Big food truck fans over here! The park was very cute- misters, fans, and chickens running around everywhere! We can after the lunch rush so it wasn't really busy which was nice. We were a little disappointed at the selection as a lot of places were closed/no vendor. Also we were hoping for a little more local variety but I guess they wanted to cater to everyone. The tuna poke was excellent- very fresh- they were carving the tuna as we ordered. The tacos were pretty good too- not my favorite but still pretty good. As expected, with any food truck park, the prices were on the high end- but still worth checking out once on your trip.

    Mashing the plantains

    Super cute place!! It's basically like an open area with several food options. I'm from Miami so it reminded me of a Wynwood type vibe. We came on a Saturday night around 9ish to eat dinner. There are so many options!! They had pizza, Asian, caribbean, salads,ice cream and desert! A great option for large groups because there's something for everyone. We decided to eat at the Puerto rican spot. They had the option to chose your base (yuca, plantain or potatoes), your protein, and a sauce. I chose the mofongo, which was plantains with fried pork chunks, red onions, chicharrones and the cilantro aioli sauce. Let me tell you, the best food I had in Puerto Rico. Just thinking about it make my mouth water!! It was delicious!! The cilantro aioli sauce made it 10times better. The plantains were cooked great and the pork chunks amazing!! The only bad thing about my experience at this place was that it started raining on us. There's limited seating under a tent so we had to wait around for a spot, but other than that, great place for food options.

    Lote 23 is a parking lot with food kiosks. Lots of different choices to choose from. My wife and family enjoyed what they had but I was not in the mood for more fried Puerto Rican food. They have free parking which is nice as this is a very crowded area.

    Rise Puerto Rico!!

    This is some of the best food I've had in Puerto Rico, and it's also some of the cheapest. It's a…read moreroadside stand inside an old yellow school bus. Yes, you read that right. They converted a BUS into the most kick-ass food stand you've ever seen. You will need a car to get here, but it's totally awesome. It's located in an Industrial Park area, a few minutes drive from the Plaza Las Americas. The Yelp map is approximate but is very close to the real location, it definitely is the right street. The "cafe" is on Ave B off Matadero, just before F. Baragano Inc. I'd recommend arriving between 11 and 11:30, it gets crowded quickly after that. The customers are all local blue collar workers stopping in for a quick bite to eat. The old couple who run the place don't speak much English. It's a very authentic experience. The eating area is a table outside under a tent, or you can stand at the counter. For about $7 you get a huge styrofoam takeout container full of food and a drink. The menu changes daily, usually there's about 3 main dishes to pick from, all real classic Puerto Rican fare like pan fried chicken, chicken breast with onion, or carne frita. I recommend the carne frita if they have it. I also recommend the rice and beans (Arroz con habichuela) and tostones. There's tasty homemade pique (hot sauce). The food is unbelievably good. Better than at touristy places that charge way more. This place can't be beat. For less than a fast food meal, you get real homecooked food and the portions are enormous. A coworker took me here and everyone was a little surprised and amused to see a gringo here but they were friendly and once they realized I spoke a little Spanish we were joking and talking through the meal. The experience is great. If you're at the Plaza Las Americas, I'd drive out here any day of the week rather than eat at the food court.

    Also known as La Sabrosa, thanks to Andrew K, my husband and I got to eat very well on just $15 in…read morePR. My Neoyorican friends all warned me that the food was all fried and all super greasy just before I left NYC. They were pretty much correct. Everything is pretty much deep fried from the stuffed potatoes to the mofongo to the pastelillos (aka empanadillas). We had the fried chicken and fried pork chop lunch specials with your choice of yellow or white rice, side of salad, and stewed beans. A huge portion for a relatively small price comes with a canned soda. An awesome meal! Thanks for a fantastic meal, Daisy and Freddy!
