Had the mofongo with shrimp and rice and beans. Delicious. Skip the passion fruit juice. We sat at the bar and service was quick and easy. Plenty of food and fairly priced.
Decent sandwiches. It really doesnt matter what you order just get the hot sauce!! This sauce is spicy and addicting. You will want to smother everything in the hot sauce. The waiter said it is a homemade recipe.
This restaurant in old San Juan downtown has good food and nice service.. Try the mofongo..smashed plantain..its great with everything. My friend had a great Ceasar Salad with grilled chicken which she said had the best dressing ever. My other friend had chicken soup which was tasty. She was a little put off by all the bones. Nice location in old San Juan...
On google it says this restaurant has vegetarian options. This is a lie. I asked what vegetarian/vegan options they had when I got there and they said beans and rice. They bring me the beans and they have an actual chunk of meat in them. This is not vegetarian. If you are vegetarian or vegan, STEER CLEAR.
Mainly hype. Yes, the old, U-shaped diner counters are nostalgic, but that's where the charm ends. The breakfast menu ends at 10:45am so don't expect to brunch on eggs at noon. They won't do it. The food is mediocre diner food a la Puerto Rican cuisine. The service is typically diner style - quick and easy. If you like diners, then you may appreciate Cafe Manolin. Otherwise aren't missing much unless of course you come at 11am looking for an omelette.
I have been coming to this place my whole life and the food is absolutely amazing. I cannot come to Puerto Rico without visiting it at least once. The food coupled with the memories is a wonderful mixture.
Delicious breakfast. Fast and friendly staff. Affordable prices. Open early.
Cool slice of history. This place is probably the same as it was when it opened 40+ years ago. Diner type atmosphere, simple fare done well, good service, reasonably priced.
We stopped in here on our visit to Old San Juan. Staff was friendly and the food was delicious and traditional at a great price.
Excellent coffee! Cheapest breakfast in the USA. Hot sauce is incredible. Opens at 0600 for packing a breakfast for the road.
First time there. Great food, excellent seevices and prices.
Quick and cheap with friendly servers. Full of locals, simple diner fare. See the menu below for Fall 2017 prices. Ask for the local hot sauce!
Really back service. The cashier looks like she doesn't care about customer
The place is a little dirty to slow in the food process. Need to improve more
Great dinner in Old San Juan. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite while exploring the city. They serve authentic Puerto Rican food in a casual diner atmosphere. The mofongo con pollo was outstanding.
It's an awesome place, great vibes, lots of locals ( that means the place is good), the food was delicious and the prices just right. Our waiter was outstanding. If u are in Old san juan , you should try it.
Great food and very nice service. I will definitely come back during my next visit to SJ.
Food seemed authentic and came out fast. Ribs were pretty good. Price was fair. Service was good. Would recommend to a friend.
This place is great, because it's realistic. $2.50 for eggs and toast is how it should be everywhere! As an English speaker most people speak enough English here and there is English on the menu. Coffee is good eggs are eggs and the toast is interesting but great! For sure come here before you spend too much money at all the other places :)
