Food Scene

I really like Tijuanas, their food is good, price is nice (not as expensive as other restaurants close by) and their Margaritas are GREAT (on the rocks) with two you will be very happy. If you like mole- their black mole is one of the best (enchiladas).

Probably the best restaurant in San Juan. They don't take reservations so you need to go in advance and put yourself on the list. Usually the waiting time is around 30-45 min but it will be worth it!! Is also in a party scene location (thursday-Sunday).

AMAZING FRESH PASTA! This is place is the real secret spot, is about 20 min from San Juan, their owners are from Rome and they KNOW how to make delicious italian cuisine! Nothing fancy is almost as you are eating in their house. ($12-$28). I'm sure will be one of the best pasta places on the island. Their pumpkin ravioli or their gnocchi stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese. Is just AMAZING!
