Went in Saturday night at 7.15 and waited 1.5 hours but it wasn't full. Whole fried fish with papaya avocado salsa $36 and delicious. Felt local and authentic. Very casual restaurant in La Placita.

The Deboned Yellowtail not only worth its $29 but also the cab here or even a flight to PR on its own. Creamy mashed potatoes with papaya salsa on a side combined with the fish is life changing.

amazing, authentic food adventure in san juan. everything is delicious but definitely don't miss the house made longaniza sausage. i'm still thinking about it. also, opt for the chickpea rice.

Menu changes often/daily. Skirt steak & snook (fish) with mamposteao (local type of rice) were delish! No rsvp. Line for days in the evening. Consider lunch time. No wonder bldg has no name!

Local place w best food in all 3 PR trips. Menu changes and comes written on whiteboards at your table. Trust the waiter's recommendation! Faves were the crab, fried pork apps and the whole snapper.

They change the menu daily. The avocado salad, and the vaca frita were to die for! The empanadas I can't even start. I don't even like tostones but in here, damn!!! C'est manifique!

Amazing service including accommodating hostess. Arugula, crab appetizer, swordfish (compliments of chef), skirt steak and 'crumbled filet' were highlights of the meal. A do not miss in San Juan!!

So good we ate here 2 nights in a row. Everything is good and the menu rotates so you get to try different things. The standouts are the bolitas (fried cheeseballs) and the whole fried fish.

Best restaurant in puerto rico hands down, very upscale food yet casual environment and great service, waiter explains menu in detail so don't be overwhelmed. The food was amazing try the swordfish.
D KApril 10, 2016
Highly, highly recommend! The yellowtail snapper, filet, flan de café, everything was amazing.

I will definitively be back. Great food, had the chocolate for dessert and it was beautifully served. Dorado and mamposteao' is delicious, the Chuleta Berkshire was exquisite. Good service, ok drinks.

Great local spot with lots of locals. Upscale and delicious food. 10 min walk from the San Juan Marriott. The walk felt a little shady at night but wasn't bad at all. Could eat everything on the menu!
Diego RomeroJuly 30, 2015
Where is the hidden camera? This was just amazing. Order the crab and swordfish entries, the Branzino with papaya, avocado,sweet potato and mamposteado rice! Brownies too!
Jared GrabowJanuary 29, 2014
Been here 5+ times
Amazing food. Chef is a local celebrity. No reservations and long waits. Put name down then walk plazita and bar hop. Best experience get a table outside on back patio. not easy to get
Justin DJuly 20, 2013
Unbelievable swordfish. Long wait so get there early, put your name on the list and then hang out at the plaza around the corner, drinking beer and listening to music in the street with the locals.
Jennifer Uff.July 7, 2012
Here for the 2nd time in 3 days. The octopus and tostones were one of the best things I've ever eaten IN LIFE. Triple tail fish also awesome. Rice & beans = the best. Ask for Lisa as your server.
Jennifer Uff.July 5, 2012
One of the best meals I've ever had. The mahi mahi (dorado) with tomato and avocado chutney an sweet potato mash was out of this world. Also, best rice and beans ever. Peach soup = just say yes.
Jeremy KuriloffNovember 14, 2015
Do NOT leave San Juan before trying this place. Put your name down and go to the plaza around the corner for booze, music, and festivities. When they call you 1-2 hours later, the Branzino / Dorado.👌
Natalia MarinOctober 7, 2014
Anything and everything. Very trendy. You'll have to wait a while to be seated but it's worth the wait and there are bars around to have a drink while you wait.
Karin DaileyNovember 14, 2013
The empanadillas were amazing. The chicken & mustard greens...B-O-M-B. And the beans and rice, y'all? Hot damn. Love this place.
Betül YILDIZ 🌴September 16, 2012
When you are in front of place you can see inside is full of people. Everyone thinks fried fish is the best. For me it is ok but staff is the best. They are really friendly team!
Jeremy Le VanOctober 19, 2015
They serve typical puertorrican food but elevated, everyday the menu changes so everything is super fresh. I recommend show up early because it's a pretty popular spot.
Eric LJune 11, 2015
Outstanding. For apps, get the scallops and crab. For mains, get the yellowtail. It's enough for two.
CaribNewsAugust 16, 2011
Fresh local fish is one of their specialties. Try the salmon chicharrones (fried salmon) with spicy mayo sauce! If you want to try local food with an upscale quality this is the place to go!
Max ParsonsDecember 29, 2014
Buzzy restaurant in the Santurce neighborhood is a simple room that feels like a convivial party full of stylish locals. dinner only, and no reservations, so come early or be prepared to wait.
Meredith BlechmanMay 20, 2015
A must go when in PR. Cute hidden gem, no reservations, delicious food. Get the crab appetizer, fresh fish, and tembleche for dessert.
Matt ValoattoAugust 28, 2014
Warm atmosphere, the food is delicious and the waiter makes you want to eat all the items on the menu. Just go!
Jill ClearyJuly 26, 2012
Absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was out of this world (and we ordered a lot). Excellent service. If you're in San Juan, you won't want to miss this.

Chef Jose Enrique elevates Puerto Rican cooking using ingredients from the market across the street. The menu changes frequently during the evening based on what the purveyors bring in during service. Read more

Tembleque is a Puerto Rican-style coconut pudding, and it is absolutely delicious. p.s. don't skip the Spanish wine list!
Louis AbateMarch 27, 2014
Long wait but worth it. Everything we had was excellent. Go at 8pm rather than 7.
Jon hoffmanMay 15, 2017
Everything I tried was incredible. Skirt steak was most luscious I've ever had. Get it with side of avocado
MattDecember 21, 2018
Just incredible. We scored 6 out of 6 amazing on all dishes, sides and dessert. Get the avocado.
Jon GarsideAugust 25, 2015
Amazing. Whole yellowtail was amazing, Berkshire Ribs superb, steak out of this world. It's the perfect whole in the wall place.
Nick GorczynskiOctober 10, 2014
The food here is on par with Brooklyn or Manhattan. Be prepared to wait 1-2hrs for a table, it's a part of the culture of going to this restaurant.
Teresa WOctober 13, 2012
hidden gem in an unmarked house. cocktails are tasty and entrees were good, but crab appetizer and coffee flan were the standout things we ordered.
Felix LSeptember 9, 2015
Amazing, get the triple tale and ask for a side of batata with papaya and aguacate- bomb
Myriam CopicottoFebruary 15, 2013
Creative latin food,they turn simple food into an amazing experience, fish chicharones, smoked pork chunks ,all ingredients super fresh,,,
Joseph PrincipeAugust 22, 2019
Either they moved or maps are incorrect and at the time of this post, their name isn’t on the building. However, AMAZING FOOD!
Larry ManisMay 9, 2013
So good. Get the fried snapper and mahi mahi but save room for dessert.
Nick GorczynskiOctober 10, 2014
menu changes frequently (even throughout the night), but the dishes they whip up are delicious culinary concoctions
Michelle A.April 2, 2014
Surprisingly super affordable for the quality of food. A dinner for 2 with 2 drinks, 2 apps and 2 desserts came out to $88.
David GonzálezOctober 22, 2013
The Tembleque (coconut cream) dessert is deliciously decadent, try it.
NataschaOSJune 13, 2013
Must visit in San Juan - One of the most creative menus you will see and so delicious too!
Michelle BorgesNovember 8, 2014
Everything is good here!! Great service and great flavors!!
Leovigildo Gomez GeoAugust 15, 2014
Everything is great in this place.Try the Róbalo (fish), its one of the best plates I've had.
Leila SamiiSeptember 20, 2015
Shredded steak dish was phenom. And if you likey petey and smokey drinks try the habernero mojito.
HunterMarch 25, 2018
Great passion fruit mojitos, crab ceviche app and avocado and grapefruit dessert
mak 🌻June 5, 2018
Portions are huge (and delicious), so it’s reasonable to share one dish with two people.
Riva WeinsteinApril 18, 2015
You just can't go wrong. Just get here early and get your name on the list.
