What a great place to enjoy a great atmosphere and delicious food & drinks. We went twice this week with family and everyone loved their meals. We've tried nearly all the appetizers, but the empanadillas and burrata cheese are two of my favorites. If you're not ordering paella then I recommend the filet- so good! For dessert the chocolate cake with mousse was delish and so was the crème brûlée, buuuut my fav was the flan! Great place for family dinner or a date. read more

I have been to this location many times over the years when it was called Pelayo. During a recent trip, I learned that the owners, Luis and Pancho Cueto re-imaged and re-branded this into Luisa (conveniently named as the street it is in). The decor is improved - it looks great and neat. The service was fantastic and timely. If you are hungry and want a taste of Spain, I recommend Arroz con pollo a la chorrera with Puerto Rican tostones. If you are ever in Condado, give this place a try. read more

Luisa - Arroz con pollo a la chorrera. - Spanish Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

So glad we were able to experience Luisa during our visit. A local recommended Luisa to us, and we are grateful he did. I can't say enough about the decor. From the luxurious wall paper, beautiful light fixtures, to the table setting-each detail is well thought out. The space is larger than your typical restaurant, and has plenty space to host private dining experiences; if that's your thing. For starters, we shared the Wontons, along with mushroom and Iberco appetizer. Both were delicious. We chose to share the salmon for our main course, which was cooked perfectly, but could have used a little more of the red pepper puree that accompanies the dish. We had the chocolate cake and coconut custard for dessert. Both were heavenly, but my personal favorite was the coconut custard-which came highly recommended by our server. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make for this experience to be one you will remember. They have a great selection of wines also, but I was disappointed I could not order wine by the glass. I did not have the right company to order a bottle, but would have with the right company. My husband is not a wine drinker. My husband loved his Old Fashion, says it's the best his ever had. If you choose to order a bottle of wine, the server mentioned it is an interactive experience where you can walk up to their wine cellar and choose your own wine. I would def. recommend it! read more

We had to make reservations a few days in advance but the vibe is super trendy and classy. Our waiter was very kind and knew the menu very well. Our appetizers were flavorful, we got the crab stuffed peppers. My entree was sooo good! The pasta was cooked well and filled me up without feeling gross and full. It was a bit oily at the bottom but it didn't bother me too much. The wine was also great and inexpensive per glass! read more

If you are considering having a good time, then you only have 2 hours to do it. For groups of 4 or more they have to eat and drink quickly because they will not have the time. It is very similar to a comivete, ordering food, drink, dessert and pay because after 2 hours they will ask you to leave the table. House Rules!! read more

This place is sooooo beautiful and trendy vibes. Beautiful picture worthy food. I ordered the Branzino fish and my nephew had the filet mignon both were really cooked well. The fish was light and salted perfect. The steak was a true medium well. I personally didn't like my drinks but ONLY bc I truly don't like the taste of alcohol but if you want a quality unwatered down drink you'll love it. My mom got the shrimp linguini very large shrimp in that dish she enjoyed it and my niece ordered chicken Enders and fries. It tasted like they cooked the tenders fresh. We had chicken wontons for an appetizer and they had a really good sweet sauce on them. Topped it off with ice cream and coconut Flan for dessert and that's a wrap! Definitely say check this place out great for fast service that spares no experience on quality. read more

Food and ambiance were great. We had a fairly large table, but our waiter was on top of it. I shared the seafood paella with my boyfriend. I wouldn't say it was the best paella I've ever had, but we enjoyed it. We also tried the octopus and the croquettes (the squid one was my favorite). Will definitely be back! read more

HENRY was amazing & the food was extremely delicious!!!! Gracias por todo!!! Definitely a place to visit again & again!!! read more

We loved our experience there. From the beginning we were impressed. The ambiance is warm and lots of greenery. The service was exceptional. Our water, Angel described the food so well that we left with a better understanding of all the different types of fish offered. Honestly he was the best server we ever have had and we are in our 50s. The apps were incredible. Loved the stuffed pimentos and stuffed croquets and Baratta salad. No pics because we devoured them to quickly to think about taking pics. The portions were large. The mains course were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place!! read more

One of our best dining experiences in San Juan. We came across this place because it was a slightly odd hour and most other restaurants were already closed for lunch. So glad we found this place. Every item was delicious. Great seafood options on the menu. The service was superb. Even at 3pm the place was packed. The place is very popular with local hot shots - doctors, lawyers, politicians... Great ambience. read more

The dinner we had at Luisa was easily the best overall in the area when we visited San Juan for almost a week. Friendly staff, attentive service, chic vibe, fresh ingredients, careful execution... everything was so right which made the night perfect. read more

Food was just okay. However, our server was inept and deceitful. One member of our party cannot have pork and we repeatedly asked the server if the beans had pork in them to which we were assured they didn't, and you can guess how this ends. Had to ask multiple times for utensils, condiments, and tried to upsell us a second bottle of wine before the first was even finished. Poured wine for people who repeatedly said they weren't having any. Spilled a drink on someone. To top it all off, when we paid with a card at the end, he announced what percentage would we like to tip him and COVERED the 12% and only told us 18-20%. Disappointing and disrespectful especially after the really poor service. And this is coming from a former waitress. Really hoping he gets this feedback. read more

Excelente servicio y excelente comida, muy lindo la decoración, restaurante que se repite y no falla

Food was good. Service was the absolute worst especially for a business of this caliber. I wish I could remember our waiters name but he did not even introduce himself. We were a table of 7, 2 of our friends wanted a wine menu, he acted irritated and said they should just get a bottle. Our friends declined and asked what wines they had, and he said "you can come to the cellar if you really want to know". Another of our friends wanted a paella to himself, again the waiter rudely told him that it for 2 not for 1 person. Friend then responded "yes but I want it for myself" waiter seemed extremely inconvenienced and responded "sure ID like to see that". My wife and I ordered halibut, each cooked a different way, when our dinner arrived we were served the same halibut, I told the waiter that we did NOT order the same meal, he crossed his arms and said "that's halibut" I responded "I understand, but we didn't order the same halibut and this is definitely the same" and he swung his arms and raised his voice to the point the whole room heard and said "you wanted halibut and I gave you the halibut" after that I simply said "you're right we ordered the same thing, my mistake" and he simply said "yes like I said" and left the room. The paella plates were too big to put on the table so they served it in a smaller plate and left the rest on a separate tray holder. One of our friends had to serve his own food 3X. This is not the quality service a restaurant that averages $40-$45 dollars a plate should have. The food was a 8/10 but we could hardly enjoy it thanks to the rude service. We all talked about leaving no tip, which we've never done, luckily for him it was already included. Take your money somewhere else where you won't inconvenience the staff. read more

Amazing service and the food was out of this Island!!!! Definitely recommend the fillet mignon and thr crème brûlée was top 3

El mejor servicio de san juan , y la comida maravillosa con esta combinación no hay manera de fallar

Great food and service. It's more on the expensive side but worth the money. Definitely will come back.

This place used to be a different place that I was looking for. We decided to go in anyway and have dinner. The place was remodeled and it's beautiful for a romantic dinner.The food was awesome and so was the service. read more

This could d be the best restaurant in condado. Unassuming and intimate, it has great elegant modern ambience. And free parking for those who need it. I bet this is a hit for locals and tourists alike. Great understated service, excellent food cooked to order. A full five stars plus. Interesting wine service: you tell them what you'd like and they bring some selections from their huge collection. After an amazing dinner we ordered flan on a whim and wee surprised by the best dessert ever. Not cheap but worth every nickel. read more

Delicious food and service in a very pleasant atmosphere!! Centrally located with ample parking.

Not sure if it was due to Covid but not a large variety on the menu. The few options that are listed still had some that were unavailable or not able to order for one person (paella). Asked for the wine menu and was told to walk to the wall to choose (not in these shoes!). Waiter was friendly but not very attentive. Food was okay but nothing to rave about. Nice atmosphere. If it's your last night in San Juan I would t chose this place. read more

Love this place! I went here with my son for dinner and it was great! Our server Isaac was amazing. Very attentive and had great recommendations. The food was excellent! I had the shrimp Alfredo, one of my sons had the arroz con pollo the other a steak. They couldn't stop reaving about how good everything was. Highly recommend this place. It's on the pricey side but worth it if you want to have an excellent meal. read more

We went to this place during the covid. And the atmosphere seems fine. I understand that during the covid many restaurants are struggling but I wouldn't expect a restaurant to try and rip customers off. Once we went inside the restaurant and sat, the server asked if we want wine without even showing us any menu. We have been trying to not drink and so we said no. It was obvious that the guy got upset and he took our wine glasses. Later he asked us what we want to drink and my girlfriend got the sparkling water and I got the tap water. The waiter came back with sparkling water and tried to pour for me too which I said no. He didn't change my glass even though he poured the sparkling water in it and added tap water to it. Later we asked for recommendation for the food and he mentioned the most expensive items which I think it should be fine. We ordered the grilled octopus for the appetizer and halibut for the main dish. He mentioned that halibut comes with two side so we picked salad and tostadas. The food came in a timely manner. The octopus was cooked well but too much charred to the point of burning and the halibut was ok. The salad was disappointing. Finally he asked us for the dessert and we got creme brûlée. I tried many creme brûlée in Puerto Rico and this one was probably the worst. Even though the food wasn't that great but I was ok with it. Even though the server acted very surprised when we told him that we are gonna share our food. Finally the server brought our check and to our surprise the salad was a separate entry worth $10 (unbelievable) and when we asked him he said it was separate from the food. Also, the sparkling water in every other place was like $3 but they charged us $7 for it. If you are going Make sure to check your bill before paying. read more

Everything here was amazing! From the food to the ambiance, but the service exceeded all else. During our dinner last night, Dimas waited on our table in the beautiful windowed front room. His exuberance and excitement about our enjoyment of the amazing food made this a meal we won't forget! Thanks to him for making our evening so wonderful. read more

Arranged a family birthday party through the internet. Having a limited time due to a cruise needed perfect timing. The reservation went perfectly. Reserve a room with capacity for20 people from 530 PM and arrived 30 minutes before that. From there on is was perfect. We're introduced to server Jose that took care of our group in a very profesional and friendly manner. Except from some choices of items in the menu not been available, the alternatives offered were excellent. Great choices of wine, excellent variety! The food was great and the atmosphere perfect. Yes, 5 star all around! read more

Delicious, great customer service, and very accommodating. We went on Valentine's day, knowing it was likely to be full. We went as soon as they opened and they accommodated us in a beautiful intimate corner. The staff was kind, professional, and gave great recommendations. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend Luisa, I would also recommend getting a reservation so you don't leave a great meal to chance:) read more

This place was incredibly good. During our trip, we had visited several local restaurants and this one was by far the best. The level of service and knowledgeable staff at Luisa was only experienced here. Not to mention how good the food was, we had the beef carpaccio to start and certainly recommend. Every dish was great. read more

Issac was an amazing server, had a great experience and my food was amazing. An amazing wine selection and decor. I came here five years ago when it was under another name ( same owner ) and it was amazing back then. Literally my favorite tradition when ever I come to Puerto Rico read more

Classic bourgeois restaurant with a classic esthetic. But...Great service, (my waitress wasn't obsequious thankfully but gracious and very knowledgeable) and maybe the most important thing in a restaurant, the food was excellent (...my fettuccine with shrimps completely satisfied my munchies ). read more

This was probably the worse dinner service and experience I've had in my life . Let's start with the positive . The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food was very good . However we were a party of 8 and before we ordered we told the server we were gonna be on 3 different checks . He said not to worry that he'll sort it at the end . The server was short and rude throughout the whole entire meal , he had a terrible attitude and seem bothered, he should NOT be in the service industry poor guy was miserable . When the bill came everything came in one bill and he said he couldn't separate it . Our party tried to figured it out manually but it was impossible. After he brought his manager . She came to tell us that it was impossible to separate the check , she didn't come to help but to say there was absolutely no way to separate the checks even though we were assured that prior ordering our dinners . She was not helpful , she stated that the ONLY way to pay was to split it in 3 even amounts . This woman had the WORSE customer service and customer approach I've encountered in the service industry. A manager should be helpful and offer solutions she came to play bad cop with us . Luisa Ownership should be embarrassed to have her representing their establishment. One of the 3 checks was a single person that ordered one fish dish she was expecting him to pay $267 for his portion . After she became extremely argumentative about us paying even amounts telling us her " system" was absolutely impossible to split checks . I simply informed her we weren't going to do that since before we ordered we were clear we were 3 different households . She left and miraculously came back with the checks for each family like we initially asked for . So out of the sudden her "system" that she assured it was incapable of splitting accordingly the items was magically able to do so . I came to PR to take my elderly parents out to a nice restaurant and this place was an absolute shit show . NEVER AGAIN !!!! read more
