jsf Posted February 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I can't remember the name but it's owner by a former New York Yankee pitcher, I'm sure someone will let us know. It's not far from the airport. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted February 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hoopster has a detailed review on here somewhere where he talked about a really nice (but expensive) restaurant that he raved about and said was great. Maybe he’ll chime in, or someone will remember where that thread was?? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted February 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Oh wait I found it! It’s called Marmalade.

Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Yep, post #34 of that review. Tripadvisor #1 of 823 restaurants in San Juan. GF and I still talk about that evening. We did the full-on 6 course wine pairing.You likely won't get in without a reservation. Fun as heck and then salsa afterwards at a local bar. But when the bill comes just don't look at it... seriously.... yes, it's that expensive. Pass over your credit card and do not look at your statement when you get home. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact had Mofongo right next door at a restaurant called Genesis...was just ok, wouldn't go back I'll try Raices next time for sure.

But I would never call it local. It's more fusion of Puerto Rican and something else. Raices is Puerto Rican, as is El Jibarito. And some of the restaurants that are on either side of Raices are also very Puerto Rican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfaeric Posted February 24, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 24, 2018 That giant port chop I mentioned is called the Kan Kan Pork Chop. Otherwise known as Chuleta Kan-Kan. Given the size, I'd rather have Carne Frita (fried pork chunks) than Chuleta Kan-Kan- just way too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosby99 Posted February 25, 2018 #23 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We had some fantastic Tapas in San Juan. Would recognise the bar as soon as I saw it. No idea what it was called though. Seem to recollect it was near a Starbucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
