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.

The wine selection is pretty impressive. They have a nice selection of craft beers too. I would recommend double checking the dates on specialty items, like craft beer, gourmet breads, etc... They aren't things that most people are grabbing so they tend to sit on the shelf longer. That is why I prefer going to specialty grocery stores for certain items. La Hacienda is one of them and it is across the street by the Pep Boys. The cafeteria food is really good. They have a few tables for you to eat there, or you can take it to go. Overall, it is a good supermarket and I come here when I can. I'm just usually put off with the packed parking.

And don't forget about desert... the flan and cheesecake is awesome!
