I can't begin to explain how amazing Lote 23 is!! It's a hidden gem very close to San Juan. It's an open lot filled with different food trucks/stands. I had the pleasure of trying a few stands while I was vacationing in PR this October. Croqueteria - This stand offers croquettes. I tried four of their options; Ham and Cheese, Short Rib, Bacalao (Cod Fish) and Shrimp. The best part is that they all come with different dipping sauces, so if you're a "dunker", this is the place for you. My favorite was the Ham and Cheese. Pernileria los Proceres - AMAZING CUBAN SANDWICH!! Finger licking good!! So juicy and flavorful! They also make their own adobo which is so fresh! A must try! They also offer local beers which is a nice add on to any sandwich. La Alcapurria Quema - This stand had Alcapurria's that burst with flavor. Very crunchy and seasoned well. They also had good mini empanadas to snack on. I also tried the pasteles. They were different from what I am used to but I actually really liked them. The meat is placed on top rather than within and they top it with cabbage. Wish I would have taken a photo but I was too busy scarfing it down! Overall the vibe at this location is great for an afternoon lunch or late night bite to have a drink and relax. Definitely a spot to try while you're in town! read more

Wow! This place is fun. Essentially, it's a multi-level parking lot with dozens of food trucks or food truck-like shacks. Plenty of different foods ranging from Asian to hamburgers. One even specializes in French fries. A couple stands offer cocktails or beer. I highly recommend it! read more

Lovely's place !! Outstanding food! Music So many options!! Must stop in! Great people El Cuchifrito !!! Great service! Highly recommend! read more

Great place for dinner. Lots of variety of restaurants. Fantastic food. I highly recommend.

Really cute fun place for all types of eaters. We had a delicious sandwich at the place near the entrance (the sandwich was called Revolucion), pretty decent tacos and chips, and a completely disgusting arepa - avoid at all costs. It's a nice place to hang in the late afternoon and evening - very chill - just don't get the arepas! read more

Cute area. When me and my two friends went many of the trucks weren't open, it was 4:30 on a Sunday but I thought that was early enough since they don't close until 9pm, maybe it was more of a Covid world issue. There was also a child birthday party happening with a clown so it was filled with young children and popping balloons but nothing was closed off. We tried multiple items. Three different tacos which were all just soft and had no flavor from a place I don't remember the name of and can't find on the website. Arepas from Budare we're definitely the high light. I'm sure they're all delicious we had a chicken avocado one that we didn't mean to order, but I think that was a communication error on our part (we don't speak any Spanish). The only croquettes were from Berger and were mac and cheese.. So it just reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory. Margaritas tasted like very sweet sour mix. The first truck on the right hand side when you walk in with lots of pigs had awesome arroz con pollo. My favorite part is the chickens walking around read more

This place is great. Food trucks are quality food. Good beer. Loud enough music. Outdoor seating only. read more

Very interesting place! Tons of options even for the pickiest eater. I ate at the burger truck (Which was incredible), had a cocktail at the cocktail truck and the mofungo station. From the atmosphere, to the music & the selections. Everything was great until I made it back to the hotel . Unfortunately for the mofungo station, I ended up getting food poisoning in the middle of the night. Not sure if the Chef knew (But he looked at me as if something was suspicious). Anyways, i recommend everyone come here and try the many other options. . read more

Let me start with some instructions on how to get here, cause I was confused. The entrance where you can walk in is whatever you see in Google Maps. It's between two tall buildings on the main road. There was plenty of free street parking along the main road across from the entrance in the early evening on Sunday. Lote 23 is a permanent-looking collection of various food trucks and trailers in a nicely landscaped, park-like setting with a stage for live music, open areas for dancing, and plenty of picnic tables. It's very clean and the string lights make it feel comfortable and romantic. It's not a loud party place - more of a laid-back couples and small groups spot. You can check out the vendors on the Lote 23 website. We had the pizza, which was made and baked to order in a stone oven. It was really tasty and nicely cooked. The guy seemed like a pro, and I'd be happy to try more pizza from him. We also had a milkshake from the ice cream shop, which was honestly pretty basic - ice cream + milk with, I think, cool whip on top? Not the best value. I'd go for a cone or cup instead of the shake if I went again. Lastly, we had a mojito from the cocktail trailer. Again, it was pretty basic and expensive. Don't expect too much there, even though the prices are high. All in all, Lote 23 is a decent place to go eat. read more

I love love love this place. It's reminds me of modern farmers market but revolves solely around food. There's several stands, mimicking a mini food truck bazaar. While you can find typical Puerto Rican staples like mofongo and fritters, there are many options to choose from. They have options for pizza, Mediterranean cuisine, poke, and much more. I chose to get a tuna poke, which was absolutely delicious. I felt satisfied and light leaving there. My friends opted for a more traditional meal so they got trifongos with churrasco and shrimp from a neighboring stand. We all had natural juices as well (passion fruit, guanabana, and Caribbean cherry). All of the vendors were small local businesses and were very friendly as well. Highly recommend a visit if you can't narrow down your options in the santurce area. At least here, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings. read more

Lote 23 - Tuna poke - Food Stands Near Me - Santurce, Puerto Rico

Great place! Lots of great-looking options. I decided to order from the noodle spot and I was very happy with my choice. Great flavor! My husband ordered from the Mofongo spot- it was also pretty good. No live music when we stopped by, but apparently that happens on occasion. Other than a few huge scary dogs in the food truck park, this place was perfect. I highly recommend it! read more

Shit is dope super cool place amazing vibe great draft beer. Highly recommend Joey is the man!!

I loved this place! Came here a few times during my stay, almost everything there is really good. The first shop on your left has really great juice, first shop on your right has a great spicy cucumber salad, another place has great mofongo and tamarindo juice! Lots and lots of options, I wouldn't recommend the poke, I wasn't personally a fan. Lots of seating area avaiable. read more

I love the outdoor environment full of positive vibes and relaxation here at Lots 23. There is a wide variety of food options from meat , pizza to vegetarian dishes . I went in March 2019 and the weather was fabulous. I ate a a poke bowl at El Jangiri and the vegetables were incredibly fresh. But honestly I wanted to eat from all the available food spots bc there were so many !! read more

Really loved this place and had the best time with my partner on a weekday night. I hear what people are saying about it being touristy -- wine was $7 at one stall though I didn't shop around -- but I still felt like it was relatively undiscovered (by the tacky tourists) and hip. I felt like I saw a good number of locals around. The food was delicious and ranged from traditional food to "Baoricua," a bao/PR fusion place. Loved the anticucho de pulpo, David Baoie (bao with traditional fried chicken), and Señor Paleta coco popsicle. The night we were there, there was a civic action meeting about the March for Science and science storytelling, so I knew I was around some likeminded locals. I really felt at ease. The atmosphere on a weekday night in April was chill, welcoming, and fun. I recommend it to foodies, folks who enjoy beer garden vibes, and smaller groups. All vendors I met were incredibly kind. read more

Review is for stand: El Cuchifrito Mofongo sooooo goood! Got the dorado mofongo or mahi mahi? I didn't care for the dorado but now learning I just don't like mahi mahi or meatier fish. But the platanos mofongo has been the best I've had on this trip, doused with this rich tomato base sauce, topped with pieces of chicharron to add that satisfying bit of crunch to the meal. I was looking forward to trying the ceviche from the pics I saw but did't see that stand. Went on a Tuesday afternoon so area was quiet but fans were still running and intermittent mists were spraying - cool vibes. read more

I loved Lote 23, this is an outdoor food hall with tons of options for everyone. Value probably not the best but this would be a great spot to catch a quick bite / drink in a cool outdoor setting. Really enjoyed my time here trying the varying restaurants here. read more

This place is great if you are visiting the city for the first time or an established resident. My sister brought me here for her wedding and I went back 2 other times that week. The food options are great and it's a fun place to bring people to. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for groups or to grab a quick lunch. There are plenty of choices so you can come here anytime and you'll find something you are in the mood for. My only issue I have with this place is that some stands can take awhile to get food out, but this was pretty common in my experiences all over the island. read more

This is a really cool concept with a good variety of options of food trucks, places to sit, clean bathrooms and big fans to keep the place cool. Evenings are busier than afternoons. We tried the stir fried rice and really enjoyed it. read more

This place is so fun! There are over 10 food stands with a large variety of neat foods. Meats on sticks? Check! Tacos? Check! Soup? Check! Stir Fry? Check! Pizza? Check! Bao? (Chinese buns) check!Etc, etc... All the seating is outdoors under lovely shades. There's not a styrofoam container in sight. The music is great! The place has only been open a short while and is already a hit with the young and hip Santurce crowd. You'd be crazy not to check this place out ASAP! read more

This place is awesome, great food stands all over. Our favorite place is the place where they serve Mofongo (Chuchi-something, forgot the name), and we had it made vegetarian. It was awesome. The mofongo with the cilantro aioli was amazing and pairing it with pickled onions. You cant go wrong, it was perfect on the palate. read more

My Puerto Rican friend recommended me this place, I went at night and the ambience was amazing, different food trucks and very good scene. I ended up getting tacos, they were good. If you go to Puerto Rico please go there! read more

I wish I would taken pics of the food but I ate it so fast because it was the most delicious middle eastern food I ever ate...the Falafel was so crispy coarsely ground and was just perfection ! The pita sandwich was delightful and so stuffed with ground lamb and other goodies.... so favorable ! I will come back here in March for another spectacular treat! read more

I was definitely expecting more out of this food spot. Several of the food stands were closed while I visited so I had trouble finding something that really caught my eye. Lote 23 is a tourist spot so seating can be tough to get if you're there during a busy time. Be prepared to share a picnic table with strangers. The food stands that were open while I visited were a pizza place, Wok bowl place, chicken tender meals, a pork sandwich trailer and a BBQ place. I think I walked around about 5 times trying to find something that seemed authentic to PR. I decided on Pernileria Los Proceres which served up a few sandwich options. The sandwich was very good but a bit on the pricey side. I found that with a lot of the food stands - tourist driven selections. I imagine this place is really cool at night with the string lights and events that I've seen in other posts. Just not somewhere I would choose again for lunch. There isn't much else around to do. Go to Old San Juan instead and get a real deal meal! read more

It's very easy to find and you need to go with a group that way you can share different dishes, Look around once you go in and ask questions, Very friendly environment. A MUST GO IF IN PUERTO RICO. read more

Was closed today despite Facebook saying they were open. Not sure when they will reopen.

This place is awesome for those who like a selection of foods. The portions are small, but thats the whole point- eat small from each cart so you can try everything. Just an idea of what my friend and I shared - alcapurias, pinchos de pollo, croquetas (10 diff types), french fries (12 diff dip choices). They also have poke bowls, tacos, pizza, asian wok station, mac and cheese, and burgers. Oh, and they also have a coctail truck which was cool. The whole vibe there is really fun, they have a ton of picnic tables and hanging light bulbs which made the vibe very chill. They also play music and they have a ton of huge fans which keep things cool. Bring bug spray if you come at night, i got bit a few times. Will be coming back here on my next visit read more

Wow. Love finding new gems like this one. It is a lovely food truck offering delicious bites, tropical cocktails and a beer menu -- all able to be enjoyed at their outdoor seating. They are located in Lote 23, which is a hip and fun garden of food trucks with options for food and drink galore. Love coming here after work to enjoy the outside in this beautiful summer weather. read more

This place was amazing! I only wish I came at night so as to be able to enjoy some music and the festive atmosphere. It was relatively calm during the day but I heard that the night parties get super festive. I really enjoyed the French fries from Bayard, one of the food vendors here. So delicious and crispy- served piping hot out of the fryer! The also came with a variety of dipping sauces that you can choose. I also sampled a "Ticket to Austin" from Caneca Bar, which was good. I was sad to learn that they didn't have a complete menu of drinks due to some supply issues, but what they did have was very tasty! There are lots of places to sit and enjoy your food and drinks. The hard part is finding some shade! They do have some fans working, but it does get hot if you're sitting in direct sunlight. Lots of cool decor touches like pink flamingos, and street art inspired works. Overall, a really fun place. It's close to the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico. Great place to visit after checking out the museum - maybe about a 15 minute walk. read more

Loved the set-up. Everything we tried was delicious. Carnita sandwich was definitely the winner. read more

"IT WAS WORTH IT". As if the gods of food listen to my torment about there being a spot where they join what all foodies love (do not worry, normal people can be included): coffee, pizza, tacos, pasta, chicken, French fries, palettes, whiskey, vodka, beers, live music, and JENGA. I personally tried Doroteas' the pizza place which served amaziing Neapolitan pizzas and great wine selection. This place includes 16 culinary spots within the spot Lot 23, therefore a spot inception, however, all these spots developed by some of the most renowned chefs in the country. I want to emphasize the idea as the concept is very similar to the top foodie places in my time in Venice, California. Everything looks clean, organized, even hipster but the most important thing is that it shows what the true gastronomic culture of Puerto Rico is like, which is provocative, sexy and more than delicious food. read more

Great place to meet friend( social bubble) and get dinner. The Hen house chicken sandwich is so good and the sandwich is huge. Pizza from Dorotea's so fresh and so good, my 5 years old almost eat the entire 12" pizza. We also got Poke bowl from El Jangiri, it was underwhelmed and pricey, maybe we just too spoiled from living in Hawaii for years. We love the atmosphere of this place and also the free parking :) read more

Definitely a good spot but we got there late and they didn't treat us very well since we were the last group coming in. Food was very simple and looked like things we could find back in Miami read more
