Now straight to the food... The Chicharrones Tacos are lacking it's a lemony, watery sauce, if I may it needs a Thicker saucy seasoned sauce base. They were bland. (Necesitan una salsa espesa sazonada parecía agua con limón y tomatillo verde nada más) The Tripa Tacos please fry them they were so soggy the tripa is ment to be well fried (doradita) (esa tripa estaba hervida y chiclosa) (y más si la Van a cobrar extra) specially since it's being charged extra it should be worth it. Now that the bad is over I must give a Standing ovation on The Tacos de Barbacoa! If there is one taco that is 20/10 it's the Barbacoa perfectly tender and well seasoned. (Daba gusto esos tacos de barbacoa) The Tacos de Fajita 10/10 muy buenos ! Very good Now whatever it is you do get to order you must accompany it with a side of rice and beans! Estos muchachos hacen un arroz muy rico y los frijoles refritos bien sabrosos ! Now the Aguas Frescas (Natural Drinks) Prueben el Tamarindo 20/10 (ni muy dulce ni muy amargo) Not too sweet not too tangy just PERFECT! They also had pineapple, horchata, Jamaica and others. Would I go back ABSOLUTELY! I just humbly wish they can better in the chicharrones and the tripas Service which is also a great experience, welcoming, kind, respectful. Éxito muchachos y el servicio muy amable.

Walking along Ashford Avenue in San Juan, we remembered reading about Tacos & Tequila in the…read moreCondado Vanderbilt hotel. So, we decided to stop by for a bite. We chose seating outside (of course). The area is beautiful with views of the ocean and a nice breeze. There was a small pool on the other side of our table with 6 in pool loungers. Very cool. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband had Tinga tacos which were so flavorful and fresh. I opted for the Birria tacos which I have never had (gasp). Omgoodness - talk about a flavor explosion! The shredded beef ribs were super tender and filled with all sorts of goodness! If you are in the area, definitely stop by for a treat!

Fantastic smoothies and Puerto Rican cuisine!…read more My friends and I stopped by Atabey for lunch and there was no wait for a table. The space is small, but nicely renovated! The menu is expansive and has lots of vegetarian and vegan options. I got the Keep Calm Colada smoothie, which was so refreshing and perfectly sweet! We started with the Vegan Sampler and it was delicious! The hummus was super fresh. For my main, I ordered the Classic Mofongo with garlic cream and a black bean patty. You could tell that everything was made in house. It was unbelievably flavorful and very filling. Highly recommend!

My girlfriend had the baguette which she absolutely loved and my grandson had the cauliflower flat bread. Every dish was very good. The only negative is that they are a bit slow in serving their food. It seems like they may need some extra help. But overall it was very good. The restaurant is small but well decorated, a cool vibe. They also have outdoor dining with a few tables. A really cool spot!!

We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

As it got busier, it took the waiter more time to get to us. The restaurant was very casual and comfortable. The temperature was cool inside with the air conditioning. Sadly they did not have the appetizer we had hoped to try. They made it up to us with a complementary dessert. The coconut flan was delicious. We shared a skirt steak rice and fried pork Mofongo. Both were flavorful. The servings were generous. The rice included Amarillos. If you are in the area Waiter's is it excellent option for dining.

The tacos are amazing; diverse flavors and you will leave feeling full and satisfied! We arrived around 1pm on Cinco De Mayo and got seated immediately because there's lots of space on the second floor! The service was great! Once we ordered the food arrived within 10 minutes. I will say it is Hot upstairs because it's a covered patio. Not much circulation so wear something light :) Happy Hour is daily starting at 6pm!

Staff is always inattentive, with long wait times to place orders, receive food, and even request the check.

For that reason, I'd recommend going at an off time for lunch because it was great! They were out of a few items, but I ended up with a pork chop with guava sauce and it was so good. They were also sadly out of the tres leches cake but I popped back in later that week as they were closing and were thrilled they had some left. That may have been the best tres leches I've ever had. The drinks were also delicious! We'll definitely return next time we're in PR.

This casual restaurant is a fun dinner stop with open air dining (not so good on a hot day though)…read more We went early at 5pm and avoided crowds. The restaurant filled up before we left. We went with the waitress's recommended dishes - Mofongo Churrasco (steak) and Mamposteao Tacu Tacu with grilled shrimp. Flavors were strong and a bit on the salty side, but delicious. We enjoyed both dishes. The Mamposteao Tacu Tacu has a long fancy name but it was rice and beans topped with skirt steak. The sangria was the happy hour cocktail of the night, very refreshing.

Outstanding tacos--so good we went twice in one day!…read more This little taco spot near the JW Marriott in San Juan absolutely nailed it. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. We ordered the fish tacos and pork tacos, and both were outstanding--crispy, well-seasoned, and balanced with great toppings and sauces. The fish was light and flaky, the pork was tender and packed with flavor, and every bite felt thoughtful and authentic. Portions were just right, prices were fair, and the quality was consistent enough that we couldn't resist coming back again later the same day. If you're staying near the JW Marriott and craving tacos, don't overthink it--this place is a must. We'd happily go back a third time!

We waited at the front door for 5 minutes because the sign clearly said "Please wait to be seated."…read moreMultiple staff members saw us standing there and did nothing. No one came over until we finally walked into the restaurant ourselves. Once seated, we were immediately rushed because the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes and the bar was already closed. The food was where things went completely off the rails. The steak was flavorless, unseasoned, and brutally tough. I needed a serrated steak knife and a full back-and-forth sawing motion, so long I honestly thought the restaurant might reopen the next day before I separated a bite. What finally came loose was a fibrous, nearly raw rope of meat that was simply not edible. We told the server plainly that the meat was not tender and had no flavor. He went behind the bar, where we could clearly see him talking to the chef, who could also clearly see us. A few minutes later, the server returned and said the chef was willing to offer 20% off the steak. I said I wasn't eating the steak. I wanted to pay my bill, but I asked that the chef come out and speak to me directly. Knowing where this was headed, I recorded the conversation. I asked the chef if he genuinely believed it was acceptable to send out a $40+ steak, then offer about $8 off for something that couldn't be eaten. His response: "Yes, the steak is good." I told him I couldn't cut through it with a serrated knife. He repeated: "The steak is good." Over and over. At that point, I told him he was an idiot. I paid the bill -- and only later noticed I wasn't even given the 20% discount that had been offered. I still tipped the server 20%, because this wasn't his fault. As I left, I told the chef I would never be back, that I would write a review, and encouraged him to learn what good food actually is. It's painfully obvious this business is not in a good spot. Serving food of that quality, refusing to remove it from the bill or remake it, and instead arguing with a customer tells you everything you need to know. That's not confidence -- that's financial stress. Don't expect this place to be around much longer. If they are somehow still around, they need to start by getting rid of the Napoleon-complex, man-bun chef with the bad attitude, tiny vocabulary, and an objectively inferior palate. Arrogance doesn't tenderize meat, and confidence doesn't replace seasoning, skill, or basic competence!
