Hi, we are planning on eating at Metropol (google it and you'll find their site) based on the recommendation of a friend who grew up in, and still visits San Juan regularly. It's good food popular with locals according to my friend. Laurie

Thank you for the info. I'm going to google it now!

Metropol is authentic and a good meal! For a more elegant dining experience, try Tangerine in the Water Club or Aquavit which is Downtown.

We loved Barrachina http://www.barrachina.com/ in Old San Juan. Great food, great Pina Coladas, great flamenco floor show. They claim to be the birthplace of the Pina Colada.

I'll second that! Barrachina was wonderful and the service was great. Needless to say the pina colada's were delicious. Would definately recommend this restaurant.

Ben & Jerry's

 

Calle Cristo, Esq. in Old San Juan. Great Ice Cream and Milk Shakes but then maybe you were looking for something healthy!;)

Treat yourself....consider the Parrot Club in Old San Juan.....absolutely fantastic and worth every single penny!!!!!!!

We were in PR a few months ago and visited a friend who lives in OSJ-- she took us to Cafe Puerto Rico because we'd been unable to find a satisfactory mofongo. It was very delicious- perhaps a little touristy, but good. We would go back.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! However, we'll have our 4 year old son with us so we are probably going to go with something low key. More concerned with the quality of the food and getting decent service. Of course close to the hotel is a huge plus!

We loved the Parrot Club in Old San Juan. Have a Mohito and enjoy the festive, friendly staff and great food.

We had a fantastic meal there.

We also went to Cafe Puerto Rico and loved it. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable.

Another vote for the Parrot Club, go early though. What a great place to dine and drink.

There is a classic Spanish resturant in Condado area my family has eaten at several times. Large and varied menu. Smart casual and up dress code. Entrees in the $25 and up range. Excellent food and service in old world atmosphere. It is called Ramiro's. Below is some further information I found on the internet. I always call from home to get reservations. Bon Apetit!!!

 

Address: Avenue Magdalena 1106

Tele: 787-721-9049

Reservations a must in winter

Metropol is our other favorite, as previously mentioned in the Isla Verde area. Authentic Cuban and Puerto Rican food.

The Metropol (the one near the airport), and the Parrot Club are both excellent choices.

I also recommend Barrachina Restaurant. My husband and I go there everytime we stop in San Juan, the food is fantastic, especially the mofongo and the pina coladas are awesome! Enjoy your vacation:)

So many, El Cabron, right behind the Normany hotel, great food, reasonable price, friendly people and you can eat outside if you want. Ajilli Mojilli on Ashford Ave. A little pricey but really good puertorican food, good service and nice people, clean. There is a Chili's next door if you aren't adventursome. About a block or so east of the Conado Plaza Hotel is a place called Ocean View, that serves a really good breakfast for $7.95, it includes eggs, bacon or ham, toast, juice and coffee and you can sit and watch the ocean. They have a reasonable lunch and supper menu also. Waiters on the corner of Ashford and Aguadilla has really good food at a good price, go through to the back and there is a bar, the front is a Colombo's, go upstairs and sit by the windows, it's nice. Hope this helps you and have a great time.

We ate at Metropol in Fajardo and it was Fantasic! I had delicious ropa vieja and my hubby ordered red snapper filet. He let me have a bite and I almost stole it from him!

 

We also enjoyed Barrachina in Old San Juan quite a bit as well as Dragonfly Too. But I'd recommend Metropol first. It's out in the Isla Verde area, not far from the airport.
