Mojito - decent not my fave
Vanessa D.

Came here super late night. Ordered the lamb chops with French fries. The seasoning on the lamb chops was not my fave but it was cooked to the perfect temperature. My partner had the ribeye skewer and it was a lot more meat than I expected. Again the seasoning was not to my taste but it was cooked perfectly. The fries were amazing, fresh and absolutely crispy. To drink I had a passionfruit mojito, it was decent

I had the coconut mojito and shrimp curry with the authentic Puerto Rican rice..... it was an absolutely joy! The flavors were so rich and delicious!! You've got to try this place! The service was super welcoming with a feel of being with family. We sat outside and enjoyed the nightlife but other parties enjoyed the ambiance inside. Don't miss this treat if you are ever in the Old San Juan area. Thank me later!

This place is in the middle of the old San Juan. You get hookah Shisha in this place as well as some good cocktails. The server is really nice person. She was helping us in all the menu and other things. They are really nice people. They bring your food as soon as it is ready, you can make changes to your food as well. If you don't like something they'll make sure they change it for you really nice store and place. Make sure you go visit them. They have amazing kebabs as well as some Indian food and Persian food. It's one of the fusion restaurants that I see around the old San Juan area.

Delicious food, super filling!! Kay was our waitress and she was very helpful + quick with our requests! The hookah 10/10!! *EDIT** - our group was overcharged.. she didn't print out the bills & had us each come to the computer to pay (which is fine). After printing out receipts - one mojito was 10 while another was 19 (didn't request any specific alcohol for either) Got charged a $2 fee for "Togo" when I didn't take anything to go, that was the "review for free shot" fee apparently. So no free shots! it wasn't expressed gratuity was already added so most paid extra gratuity. Overall it could have been a better experience if things were consistent. They can do better!

Coconut mojito. Berry mojito. And sangria

The service was a slow, granted it was a new waiter but he was doing his best. Definitely was a great experience. The hookah was good as well. Being from DC with hookah was $50+ it was nice having a hookah for only $25. The ambiance was a nice vibe they played great R&B hits and the vibes were cool

Our tapa spread, we already picked at some and couldn't wait
Vanessa C.

Vibes and great hosts are here. Loved this place instantly. Walking in they were playing 90s/2000s r&b and our hosts were friendly and welcoming from the start. It's great, they serve tapas, drinks, and hookah. What we ordered: Bacalaitos (homemade cod fish fritters): light and crunchy! Rib eye skewers: flavorful and had to get another order! Coconut shrimp: great crisp here! Mussels and wine: so savory and so good! Highly recommend the blue melon and ladykiller shisha together for the hookah . Very refreshing and didn't feel heavy at all! Soo good! I like playing around with the smoke and "trying" tricks out but the ceiling fans and wind from the open door made it not possible at all but not a deal breaker. As a lady, one thing I found odd was there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. The paper towels was there for all your needs.

TLDR: Good food, wonderful ambience and great service We walked in to Pani Agua late night on our first day visiting Puerto Rico. While it was difficult to find food post 11 with their new regulation, Pani Agua was one of the few and really offered great options. They even offered to switch beef for chicken in their sliders. Our host Rashelly was really polite and helped us make custom drinks to our taste!

Coconut mojito & raspberry mojito
JAnders U.

When in Puerto Rico this place is a must! I find it difficult to find a good hookah lounge when traveling but Pani Agua did not disappoint. Staff was super friendly & offered multiple drink suggestions as well. I went with a coconut mojito & it was great! I didn't try the food due to wanting to try some authentic mofongo & they were out of some ingredients but the bartender made an even better suggestion. Great vibes, great service, bartender played great music & made great drinks! What more can you ask for!

Mojitos
Cherise N.

Visiting form nyc. And looked up this spot that has all these great reviews and I was leary because its also a hookah bar. And im sorry hookah is not my thing. But on to the important part the food. We started off with some very tasty mojitos ,mango habinor and a passion fruit. The drinks delicious. Not super strong but so very good in flavor. We ordered the rib eye skewers with a side of tostones and bacalaloitos ( codfish fritters) and to end it an empanada of guava and queso The rib eye so tender so flavorful. Just perfection. The tostones perfectly fried and the empanada were not this giant peice of dough with no filling. This was generously packed with guava and cheese. Delicious if you're looking for something sweet. Now the bacalaloitos ( cod fish fritters) were like these neat little chips not your classic bacaloitos. They were flavorful but lacked the texture of a real bacaloitos. . The places decor was very basic. It lacked charm. They had some tables with colorful metal chairs. The one staff member there was very attentive friendly as all my fellow puertoricans are. I took off one star for the bacalaloitos and the place isn't much to look at but the majority of the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place again. And hey if you're into hookah this would be a great spot for you

Found this by accidentally. And the menu is amazing. The drinks selection is massive, and there are so many hookah options to choose from. Marian was our waitress and bartender and she did not disappoint. Not only that she had tons of recommendations for us. She also told us about local activities that we can do.

Immediately upon entry we were warmly welcome by Luis. The music was great, a nice selection of alcohol and the vibes were perfect for a Tuesday!! The menu options were great especially since the kitchen was opened late. Great spot for those looking for somewhere chill to go in Old San Juan!

Kelly-Mae S.

Chill vibes good service great music and even better hookah! This place gets fiver stars because it checked every single box for us. After walking around all day long we needed a moment to just chill and this spot gave us that opportunity. The waitress/bartender was so kind and helpful. The drinks were amazing 10/10. I can honestly say that if we were in PR longer we would have went back!

Wepa wepa! From Groceries to turning up, this is your spot! I was researching spots to celebrate…read morefor New Year's, this was one of the spots that showed up. AMBIANCE You're in the city so it's an eventful area. There's street parking and nearby lots but your best to carpool or rideshare. As for the vibes, I'm told in the daytime it's a local marketplace that's filled with vendors and other fresh produce booths. It's pretty chill with a nice neighborhood feel. As for the evening, this is where to turn up and get a pulse of Puerto Rico parties. EXPERIENCE Go to your bar, pick your vibe from community, club excessive, lounge feel, live music or etc. Drink choices rangeThey have it here! Plenty of photo op spots and good energy. I was here peak of the #DTMF era so it was magical to see people come together with a speaker and a cowbell. A local put into perspective how this was way better than paying for an expensive hotel party. It was truly a 1 of 1 experience. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. It doesn't get any better. There's a reason why this space is dropped in lyrics and people's recommendations because this is the heart of the people. So don't be shy! Grab a drink, walk around, catch a dance, and be safe! TIPS: * Don't just settle for one spot. Be sure to explore around to experience the entire Santurce experience!

Review #1,047 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came to La Placita on Thursday the 23rd, when in town to celebrate my buddies 50th birthday. I guess this was purposefully done as I've heard it's nuts here on Fridays & Saturdays. When you get dropped off at the main road when you walk down it takes you to all the action in a few hundred feet. This place was still packed, but it was popping, the place to be at night I'd guess. They've got all JJ da of restaurants, bars, & clubs here. Tons of music, & a good time.

Its sad to write bad reviews. But I have to warn everyone that Kumar (name of sleezy sales man)…read moresells supposed Cubans to me (which I still do not know if its legal for me to transport back to the states legally) . Kumar said they were so legal he would take me to the airport to make sure it gets in (Obvious Lie). He also said I should hold the box of cigards and walk right through TSA with it ( really?) What got me the most is that I bought a box of Cubans which I found out when I got home, that he completely ripped me off. Sadly when I looked online I saw the same boxes for 1/4 the price. If it helps you understand how badly I feel, He charge me 950.00 for 25 cigars ( mix box of cigar seen below) . I understand a reasonable mark up, I love supporting local business. However I found out that one of the types of Cubans that I got from him ( Series 4 Petagans) sell for a box of 5 cigars for 70 dollars ( plus shipping)... He will sell to his patrons for 225 plus tax for 5 cigards. How is that a reasonable mark up? I am willing to pay even 150 max for 5 cigars and not feel bad but he charging 225 plus tax. I go to PR to try to support the community. I met many nice small business in PR. However this man Kumar will rob you blind. Buyer beware. And Sadly it supports that fact that his home country, wherever people name Kumar are from, live up to their shady stereotype. side note, at the airport they made everyone that had Coffee with him remove their coffee. If you bring Cubans back to the state, don't pack it with your cubans. Please learn from my mistake. At least now I know I have to be more careful, more than ever.... The more nice the person is to you, the more they trying to burn you You can look into cigartermainal.com and royalhabanos.com to see how much cigars cost and how much his mark up it. I hope you don't lose your money to this dishonest individual and business

There was no wait for a table, but it took a good 10 minutes for the waiter to even come to our table. Drinks took about 5-7 min, which isn't bad. We ordered dinner and the wait began. 20 minutes after we ordered, my wife's dinner came out, but mine didn't. She finished her food in about 10 min, my dinner still hadn't arrived. We waited another 30 min (1 hour after ordering) and my meal still hadn't come out. Our waiter never checked on us, never offered us more drinks, never apologized for the wait. After the hour, I walked up to our waiter and told him we were leaving. They did remove the food that never arrived but they didn't seem the least bit apologetic. For a first impression of Puerto Rican service and quality, I would never recommend this place.

The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.
