Vinny Zembruzski

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.

Marco Gomes

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.

Mel Love

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

Lucy Maria

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!

Jorge Arango

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!

Phillip Scott

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.

Tony Xerri

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!

Paulo Fedele

Excellent! It is a must in PR. Try the MOFONGO DE CHURRASCO ! It is the best mofongo ever!

Genesis M

The paella is amazing!!! Tastes like the ocean...it’s THAT fresh. And the Mojitos are great! Try the Parcha (Passion Fruit ) mojito !

Gina Brodeur

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

Nia Ade

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.

Jeff Borrero Ruiz

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!

Danielle Ferreira

You can order a mofongo mix of two seafood : try octopus + shrimp with local sauce! Delicious!!

Michael Lopez

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.

Maga Martinez

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!

Craig Pina

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!

Jose T Roman

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)

Sarai Guzman

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.

Nancy H Thompson

Mufongo with shrimp and mahi-mahi garlic flavored was excellent as well as the guava mohito!!

Blair Armstrong

Great service, very friendly , good food! CFL Fluorescent lighting is annoying.

The Backstreet Fork

A must visit in San Juan, really authentic ,the best MOFONGO in town ,and the friendly staff is a big plus,try the mojitos

Wejdan ✨

Mofongo with churrasco is to die for!!! Pina colada was perfect.

Liliana González De León

I recommend the "Mashed Green Plantains stuffed with garlic Shrimp ". Yummy!

Letícia Iwai

The best pina colada !! ???? Try the mofongo ! It’s delicious!

Minda A

The ceviche was yummy! I couldn't eat after days of meat-filled Puerto Rican meals. This, plus rice and beans did the trick.

Héctor Torres

Mofongos are exquisite and the juices are natural. Puertorrican food at its best!

Fluffie Kitty

OMG! You have to try the mofungo stuffed with beef steak ! It was so good!

Jim Head

Fantastic drinks, chicken and fish . One of our favorites!

Lady Nade

If you are vegetarian , you can eat a *little* bit here…& long wait on weekends. Good service

Erica Oreiro

Very clean . Paintings are posted near every table.

Raymond Rosa Rivera

Excellent Place, nice puertorican food. Very tasty food and good drinks.

Mamuna

The fish tacos were delicious! Definitely with the order.

Danny R

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

Allicat22 W

the chimichurri skirt steak mofongo is out of this world!

Alexis Davis

Their mofongo is delicious!!!

Benjamin Noel

1 or 2 people and there is a wait, go sit at the bar (back and to the right).

Daphne Papapolyzou

Panteillas any style are good but overrated here. Cocktails are really good

Gabriel Hayes

Great place to get drinks in Old San Juan.

Carlito G.

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!

Maria Jennings

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.

Garino Grande

Chuleta was big, Churrasco was delicious, but sangría was too sweet like grape juice

Vanessa I

Try the infamous chuleta kan-kan (as seen in man vs. food). Dragonberry mojito & and mofongo are a can't-miss.

Stacy

The BEST food in Old San Juan!

Mel Love

Tamarind Mojito in tin can!! Muy deliciouscio

Desha Smith

Long wait but the food was GREAT! Def worth it????

Jim Clark

The dip de lpollo y queso was very good!

E G

Nice place. Great fried bananas as seen on man vs food

Jenn O

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

Daniel Young

The small plate of apps is big enough for two; enjoy your fried heaven!
