This place is fun and has great Puertorican food. I was here with a couple of friends and had a wonderful time. We all ordered mofongo; mine was crabmeat plantain but I also tried shrimp "yuca"-if you are not familiar with the dish, it is basically a fried plantain basket with your choice of seafood or meat. While we were... more

Husband and I popped in for a (not-so) quick lunch. We sat outside which was nice, but the food was disappointing. I ordered the "fresh" salmon salad and got an overcooked piece of salmon on sad salad greens. The salad came without dressing, and I never got the opportunity to ask for anything as the waitress was AWOL much of... more

Title says it all. Best local cuisine. Wine is 4$ per glass. All very fair. Great service. Happy people. My 3rd time to PR; 1st time to Cafe Puerto Rico and I'll come back every visit. more

It has all the tell-tale signs that this place shouldn't be as awesome as it actually is - the words "Puerto Rico" in its' name and a prominent spot on a heavily-trafficked public square smack dab in the middle of Old San Juan. But it's amazing. The important things were all in place, though - a small, simple, very regional... more

The service was great, everyone was friendly and talkative. They made sure my friend and I were well taken care the minute we walked in the door to the time we walked out of the place. The food was excellent, it tasted very authentic and fresh. Tried several dishes and they were all delicious. I also highly recommend trying their... more

We had a great time! We went to Old San Juan and went to many unique shops and had great street food. Also went to a excellent restaraunt called Cafe Puerto Rico. We went upstairs to eat and the doors were open so we could listen to the bands outside. The food was amazing and the Mojito's were terrrific! A... more

My partner and I had dinner at Cafe San Juan on our last night in Puerto Rico (a Saturday night). It's not the splashiest restaurant in Old San Juan, nor the most innovative, but it's clearly a local favorite. We waited about 20 minutes for a table (on a Saturday night without reservations, who's complaining?). The wait staff were busy... more

I read a review here on Trip Advisor before we left. Well, glad I listened. When the cab let us off in Old San Juan, we headed for the nearby fort, then after the Cristobal fort, then we headed back over for lunch and drinks. WOW! Value - $8.00 gets a huge plate of food. Husband had tender, tender, cut... more

I travel to Puerto Rico every 6-8 weeks and this is the first restaurant that I go to eat. The food and service is among the best that I have eaten all over the world. The best Mofungo you will ever eat. This is my favorite restaurant, and I highly suggest everyone try it. more
