This was a great find. The food was well prepared. Service was very good. The athmosphere is authentic Puerto Rico. I had the Churrasquito Marinado on recommendation from others here and wasn't disappointed. It was done to perfection. My wife had a seafood risotto which was smoothe and creamy. We're sangria snobs and I tell you that this was one... more

I wouldn't have gone back to write a review because it has been over a year...however, I was sad to see negative reviews and wanted to balance them a bit. This was our favorite restaurant in San Juan by far--so much so that we returned on our trip. I had classic Puerto Rican fare, while my boyfriend went with the... more

Drinks are fair dont expect the best mojito, it took several request for my drink because the bar was busy; It is true the service is not so good & parking... more

Ropa Vieja offers cuban and puerto rican cuisine. Very tasty and affordable. The place is nice and clean but not fancy. The staff was friendly, the service was slow like in most restaurants in Puerto Rico but if you are on vacation you are probably not in a hurry. We had the Mofongo with lobster, a staple of the puerto... more

Title really says it all. Went here as a suggestion from the concierge as I am celebrating my wedding anniversary. Well, yeah, not a whole lot to report. Aroz con Pollo under seasoned, very bland. Garlic Shrimp was decent but slight overcooked. Black beans & rice was good, but who can mess that up? It did not occur to me... more

We stayed in Condado area and ate mostly in San Juan and Condado area and by far this was the worst restaurant in the island. First of all , there is no decoration bare walls . Rude service. Seated for 10 minutes before we got the menus. Food seems like italian as they call their entrees with rice as risottos... more
