Mofongo was very good. We had one with skirt steak with chumichurri, one with Carne Fritas and one with chicken . They were all good, but the Carne Fritas were a bit tough. Overall, a very good meal.
Best food I had in PR! The place looks like a huge tourist trap , the decor is the worst. We came in anyway based on the photos of the food posted in 4sq. The food is actually amazing! Pork is a must.
The Kan Kan was the BEST pork chop I've ever had in my life!! It was amazing!!! The flavors and let's not forget about the white rice & beans was the deal breaker!! Great food and ambiance
Order the "Festival Tipico" appetizer ! It's delicious and you get to try a variety of typical Puerto Rican foods . Also, get the red Sangria . It's so good! The service here is excellent, too!
Great, thought it was a tourist trap for years but decided to try it and it was fantastic, will definitely go again! A most try when in Puerto Rico!
Pork can-can (or is it kan-kan?). Either way, like a juicy pork chop plus ribs - Outstanding! Also the Mofongo with skirt steak was tender, juicy with a terrific flavor. Can't lose with those.
The best, place in Old San Juan! Please, try the meat mofongo , their arroz con abichuelas, and their house specialty drinks . Amazing. The sangria . Sit at the bar ! Is great, ask for juan.
Really wonderful. Top notch service, delicious food, great ambiance as well . Also very close to all the action happening in Old San Juan. Make it a mission to go here!
Excellent! It is a must in PR. Try the MOFONGO DE CHURRASCO ! It is the best mofongo ever!
The paella is amazing!!! Tastes like the ocean...it’s THAT fresh. And the Mojitos are great! Try the Parcha (Passion Fruit ) mojito !
We really enjoyed our meal! Service was very good. We ordered sangria and the shrimp app and both came very quickly. Salad too. Waited for the entree but nothing too much. Come and relax
Carne grits o encebollada with yellow rice was so savory, and the mofongo churassco was great! The passion fruit mojito was good but a tad on the sweeter side.
Only come in groups! Since foods are ginormous. The vaca brava is our favorite. The staff is very attentive and the place is really cool!
You can order a mofongo mix of two seafood : try octopus + shrimp with local sauce! Delicious!!
Traditional Puerto rican cuisine in its true form. This is LIFE. Food and atmosphere is what makes this place a one of a kind gem.
Went for the lunch special so the price was right! A little "cheesy" with the decor....but super friendly waitstaff and delish food will make me go back!
I waa told to try Raices before coming to Old San Juan, even the park rangers at the fort and a cop on the street said it was the best. I was not disappointed! This is a must stop in Old San Juan!
Wow! I have eaten skit stake from many places but this one in the better i have tasted! ( i have been here before and it hast taste as good as this one today)
Great authentic puertorican food. But DO NOT go on Sunday's!!!!! This is when cruises arrive to Puerto Rico. So imagine the chaos! Waited 2 hours for a table.
Mufongo with shrimp and mahi-mahi garlic flavored was excellent as well as the guava mohito!!
Great service, very friendly , good food! CFL Fluorescent lighting is annoying.
A must visit in San Juan, really authentic ,the best MOFONGO in town ,and the friendly staff is a big plus,try the mojitos
Mofongo with churrasco is to die for!!! Pina colada was perfect.
I recommend the "Mashed Green Plantains stuffed with garlic Shrimp ". Yummy!
The best pina colada !! ???? Try the mofongo ! It’s delicious!
The ceviche was yummy! I couldn't eat after days of meat-filled Puerto Rican meals. This, plus rice and beans did the trick.
Mofongos are exquisite and the juices are natural. Puertorrican food at its best!
OMG! You have to try the mofungo stuffed with beef steak ! It was so good!
Fantastic drinks, chicken and fish . One of our favorites!
If you are vegetarian , you can eat a *little* bit here…& long wait on weekends. Good service
Very clean . Paintings are posted near every table.
Excellent Place, nice puertorican food. Very tasty food and good drinks.
The fish tacos were delicious! Definitely with the order.
Steak mofongo ($19) w white an beans (4.50/side) was amazing. Waited over an hour but it was worth it for us since we weren't in a huge rush
the chimichurri skirt steak mofongo is out of this world!
Their mofongo is delicious!!!
1 or 2 people and there is a wait, go sit at the bar (back and to the right).
Panteillas any style are good but overrated here. Cocktails are really good
Great place to get drinks in Old San Juan.
If there's a long wait , go next door to Inarú. The price is comparable, personal service and food that tastes as if abuela made it!
Regarding anything that requires a sufficient amount of mastication, little can be said. As in most cases, the water was nothing to write home about.
Chuleta was big, Churrasco was delicious, but sangría was too sweet like grape juice
Try the infamous chuleta kan-kan (as seen in man vs. food). Dragonberry mojito & and mofongo are a can't-miss.
The BEST food in Old San Juan!
Tamarind Mojito in tin can!! Muy deliciouscio
Long wait but the food was GREAT! Def worth it????
The dip de lpollo y queso was very good!
Nice place. Great fried bananas as seen on man vs food
The good reviews here are written by tourists that don't know any better. The food is ok but you can get better authentic food for cheaper. The only hot sauce they have is Tabasco
The small plate of apps is big enough for two; enjoy your fried heaven!
Try the whole grilled Red Snapper! Amazing food and finish with the Pina Coladas! - Jen Morrow
Amazing food!! Oven roasted pork with red beans and white rice are delicious! Tostones are amazing with the garlic dipping sauce. - Maritza M
Wonderful service with complimentary courses. Everyone was great, and every table is a window seat! - Jeffrey Boudreaux
Lovely area to walk around and see the colourful buildings. Lots of interesting history, visit the forts for amazing sea views. Great choice of bars and restaurants too! - Amandeep Gill
#68 La Pelangocha (2 Persons) is quite amazing!!! Highly recommended!! - Brian Schuster
Gorgeous views of Puertorico so big. It had so much history and the tour was great. The tunnels were awesome to walk through the different displays of history since its creation. Flawless a must do!! - Erik Cintron
