    Tacos were good. The service could've been better but we (party of 3) went kind of late and the bartender/server could've been tired. All in all a very beautiful establishment with plenty of photo opportunistic areas.

    Came here on my last day in San Juan and wow, the food, the service, everything was incredible. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, it's about a 10 minute walk from Condado beach and you won't regret it, i will be back!!

    First time in PR and wanted Mexican. This place was amazing. The got the Chicken chimichangas and it was bigger than I expected. The salsa and chips I couldn't stop eating. The walls were hand painted and amazing. The bartender/waitress gave excellent advice on food and drinks.

    Tinga de Pollo Chimichanga

    The service was slow considering how empty the restaurant was. The food good was. I had ordered the Tinga de Pollo Chimichanga. But the servings and the price are horrible, 1 tiny churro with 2 scoops of ice cream for $7.50 looks like it can only fill a shot glass. Also from where I was sat there was water leaking and dripping on my party and it didn't rain that day or anything like that.

    Carne Asada Chimichanga Carnitas Keka

    I got takeout here while visiting San Juan. I got the Carne asada chimichanga and the carnitas keka, and I quite enjoyed the taste of both. I feel like in California with more of the texmex restaurants here, it's quite uncommon to see Chimichangas and Kekas on the menu, though I'm not sure if Keka is just another name for quesadilla, as that's what it tastes like. As you can tell from my lack of knowledge, I may not be the best source for recommending authentic Mexican food, but as someone who missed the California-style Mexican restaurants, this was very good. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because it was actually quite pricy, especially for San Juan, while not including all that much food. Pictured here is actually two separate entrees, each about $12-$15, and the chimichanga is smaller than what that amount would typically get me for a normal burrito. Also, if you are in PR, you should probably try the other more authentic selections of Dominican or PR food. Overall though, it was good for someone who missed those tastes and the service and ambiance was nice.

    Takeria was walking distance from my hotel. The service was fast and friendly. They have many vegan and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is cool.

    In the heart of condado, this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant was something we checked out after the beach because we were craving some tacos. We found the restaurant on apple maps, and it seemed to be rated generally well, so we stopped by. The four of us were immediately sat, and the restaurant was not too crowded. The food took a little longer than expected, but was well worth the wait. I got the carne asada and fish taco, which were both amazing. But the fish taco. I'd do some questionable things to be in puerto rico eating the fish tacos from here again. It was one of the best fish tacos i've had, and the sauces that were provided complimented the flavors really well. My friend got a chicken chimichanga which was also amazing. Slightly pricier than some tacos i've had, but still really good. Fun atmosphere as well, as the staff began to sing karaoke with the words being projected onto a screen and encouraged customers to participate. We told our friends who went the next day and had the same good experience as us. I wanted to go again, but we chose to try out some new places instead of hitting the same ones.

    Signature hot sauces!

    Takeria is a definite must visit while in Puerto Rico! The atmosphere is amazing. Great music and cute swing seats that you have to visit in person to appreciate! The decor is also super cute, neon lights everywhere. We ordered: Guacamole & Chips Margarita Carnitas, al pastor, pollo tacos Churros I'd skip the churros and go for another order of tacos. They are covered in cinnamon sugar, but the inside dough itself didn't have flavor and tasted watery. Another thing you'll want to know is there is no tap water, just bottles of water should you want water to drink.

    Impossible Asada & Nopales Tacos
    Alena B.

    Stumbled across this gem on my walk back from Condado Beach. The tacos were AMAZING! They have a great selection for vegans. It is a hit!!!! I also got their jicama with tajin (yummmm) in addition to the nopales(cactus) tacos & impossible asada(vegan meat). Everything was flavorful and they had a special sauce. Love love loooove.

    Service was very personable and attentive. Bartender (Alejandra) was wonderful and made the experience. The food was able to keep up with stellar service, Fish tacos were awesome, Chicken Tinga tacos were flavorful but tasted very dried out. Cocktails were super fresh! 'La Verde' was my personal favorite :) Chips & Salsa was disappointing, Chips were definitely stale and the salsa had little to no flavor whatsoever. Cute, gastropub interior, overall very positive experience!

    Al pastor tacos , Chicken tacos !

    Tacos were the best I've ever had. I got Al pastor and the sauce was really good and a different flavor . The drinks weren't that good but who cares .

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!

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.
