As other have mentioned. The mofongo is probably the best in Old San Juan. Eating outside gives you a nice view of the plaza !

I had the skirt steak yuca mofongo which is their specialty and it was very tasty however, the standout of this meal for me was the octopus appetizer , delicious accompanied with the warm fluffy arepas

Mike Beauchamp

I know everyone else is saying to try the skirt steak stuffed mofongo , but damn, it's amazing. We got it and split between two people for lunch . Perfect serving size for the two of us.

Please skip Raices & come here instead! So glad this was our last meal in PR. Friendly staff , good mojito & delicious food!

Stephanie Sandberg

Tried monfongo for the first time here and it tasted amazing! My mother in law is more familiar with the dish and she said it's the best she's had in a restaurant .

Food is always delicious, and the waiting staff so attentive. The mofongo the yuca is so good and the daily specials from 11-1 are a great deal.

Danny R

Try the flan and coffee for an amazing dessert . When I went we tried the pinneapple and cheese flan both were good but the cheese was by far the best! They make different types each day

Everything that come out the kitchen looks amazing! The whole fried red snapper was fresh and deelish!

Lots of places in Old San Juan, but this is one rather authentic . Service can be a little slow, but the portions makes up for it.

Highly recommend the mofungo, the either yuca or amarillo option. Both are awesome.

Caroline Harvey

The chicken mofongo and the bandeja surtida are fabulous. And don't forget the pearl sangria !

Good for people with food sensitivities.... I am allergic to nuts and have a lactose intolerance.

No crab , the grouper and octopus are the freshest seafood choices.

Hearty portions , so share an entrée ????

Good food, great deals and good service

Michael West

Sit at the bar . Order a cocktail . Get the mashed plaintains mofongos rellenos with skirts steak strips. Nothing better.

Vanessa Rueda

best mofongo in town

Jessica Hiemenz

For the mufongo the garlic sauce is vegan but the criollo sauce is not. Black bean soup is vegan .

Melissa Gomez

Great service and hospitality food is also great mofongos are tasty in plantain or cassava

Food and drinks were decent but nothing to write home about. Good ambience and staff but there is better Puerto Rican food to be had in the area.
