The coconut w/ rum is potent (and almost all rum).
I advise strongly against ordering this before a long day of hiking in El Yunque. But otherwise this place has amazing & authentic PR comfort food!Best Papa rellena and arroz con habichuelas everrrrrr. Piña coladas were fresh and authentic as well. Definitely a well deserved treat after that hike!
Roadside stop with good food and great piña coladas! After lunch ask the store owner in the gift shop to do a shot of moonshine with you! $2
The chicken and shrimp tacos are amazing. The sweet plantain with beef is really good and they serve alcohol which is necessary after the hike.
Awesome food. Fresh BBQ kabobs are super tasty. Try a relleno an an empadilla. Beer is cheap, cold and local. A great little stop!
The tacos are unbelievable. And the piña colada is amazing.
After the trails and hikes, this was a definite pick me up.It’s a little roadside fry shop in the middle of a rain forest- everything is good.
pork pincho (kebab) with bbq sauce and garlic
fried mashed potato relleno filled with beef
piña colada with or without rum
Cornmeal and cheese is fabulous. Great all around food.
Visit the grill for excellent kabobs.
Get the pasteles!

Juan – Puerto Rico Cities
Guide
,
Puerto Rico
San Juan is a celebration of feelings and emotions! This is a place that makes the heart and mind rejoice! This city will surprise you with its attractions and its cultural heritage!
San Juan is the largest city, capital, main port and commercial center of Puerto Rico. From the port of San Juan, mainly sugar cane, fruits, coffee and tobacco are exported to the United States. The population of the city is about 437 thousand people and it is constantly growing.
Industries include clothing, sugar processing, cement, metal goods, tobacco and beer. In the city center, called Hato Rei, there are a large number of banks and commercial centers. Be sure to visit the old part of the city. Its narrow streets, old buildings, small cafes and old houses with balconies hanging over the streets create an unforgettable atmosphere.
Puerto Rico is a modern and developing island that has a rich heritage and fascinates tourists. In San Juan, the spirit of the Spanish colonial period reigns. It is a walled city with numerous buildings, historical sites and monuments that have been restored to preserve the cultural heritage of the island. At 19In 1986, the United Nations named the area a World Heritage Site.
The look of colonial Spain can be seen everywhere: narrow cobbled streets, romantic courtyards, charming overhanging balconies and chalk-white churches. All this makes the old district of San Juan very beloved by artists and photographers around the world. A visit to San Juan is an essential part of any trip to Puerto Rico.
San Juan is the capital of the state of Puerto Rico and the second oldest city in all of Latin America (the oldest is the Peruvian city of Cusco). It is conveniently located in a beautiful natural harbor on the shores of the warm Caribbean Sea. Now it is a modern city with houses made of glass and concrete.
San Juan is the financial and economic center of the entire region. At first glance, it even seems that the city is young.
There are no dilapidated buildings or winding narrow alleys. The city is constantly being restored and developed, and even in its old center, at every step, you can feel the developed modern infrastructure. Take at least an abundance of small cafes and restaurants for every taste. However, after walking a little along the central streets, you involuntarily begin to feel that everything around is one huge open-air museum. Paved with smooth paving stones (adikenes) streets. Soft pastel colors of building facades. Small balconies with wrought-iron railings that are tightly covered with flowering ivy. All this together immerses in the amazing atmosphere of the creations of the classics of Spanish literature.
On the north side of Viejo San Juan there are old fortifications, which, together with the forts of the city, used to provide protection from French, English and Dutch pirates.
One of the most striking examples of Spanish fortifications of that time is the fortress of Fuerte San Philippe del Moro. Once she stood guard over the sea gates of the island of San Juan Bay. The fortress was considered one of the most perfect in the Caribbean. Its construction lasted for about two hundred years. Its walls, over 40 meters high, survived more than one battle. Among them, the attack of the squadron of the famous Francis Drake and the attack of the US Atlantic Squadron in 1989 year. The interior of the fortress is a labyrinth of countless rooms, some of which are carved directly into the rock of the island.
The second largest fortress – Fuerte San Cristobal – protected the island from the Northeast. It was built around the 17th century. The area of the fortress is 27 acres. This is the largest fort ever created by the Spaniards in this region.
Today, tourists have a great opportunity to see all its premises, to go through the labyrinth of hidden tunnels, laid right inside the walls 45 meters high.
A truly fantastic panorama of the city and San Juan Bay opens from the walls of this fortress.
These two fortresses are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and, of course, are considered a National Treasure in Puerto Rico.
In the center of the Old Town is the Place de San José, which has the shape of a regular square. The square is decorated with a statue of the founder of the city of San Jose – Juan Ponce d’Leone. On this square you can find many cozy cafes and interesting museums. Near the square is the first in Puerto Rico and one of the oldest churches in the New World – Iglesia San José. The cathedral was built in the Gothic style, which is a rarity for these places. Initially, it was built as a Dominican monastery with a chapel of Thomas Aquinas.
Other interesting sights of the island are worth mentioning Casa Blanca and La Forteleza (the oldest governor’s residence in the Western Hemisphere). Tourists will also be interested in such monuments of local architecture as the Municipality (Alcalda), built in the 17th century.
The La Princessa building was originally conceived as a prison, and now the office of the Association of Tour Operators of Puerto Rico and the local art gallery coexist in it.
The ruins of the 6-metre-thick La Muralla wall and the city gates of La Puerta de San Juan are worth seeing. You can also get a lot of impressions from visiting the cemetery of Semeterio de San Juan and the city park, which, by the way, is inhabited by a huge number of pigeons. You can walk to the elegant Hotel El Convento, located in the building of a former convent, and admire the sculptural composition of La Rogative.
Eight kilometers from the city is perhaps the most famous (and the largest, in addition) rum factory. Who doesn’t know Bacardi rum? At this plant, you can observe the whole complex process of its creation, visit the museum and, of course, taste and purchase any of its many varieties.
