“ Being a Puerto Rican, a musician and a cook, this place is excellent. Nice upscale Puerto Rican food service. The food was delicious! The atmosphere is beautiful, the music is perfect (Salsa Lo Mio) and the staff was supper friendly. I know there’s plenty of great Puerto Rican places to eat at a lower cost but here you get what you pay for. Perfect date night and anniversary for the Mrs and I. ”
“ A small hidden gem with a great quite atmosphere and amazing food! Monday's they have 1.50 tacos and 5 margaritas which will definitely take away those Monday blues. I highly recommend the mofongo and cuban rice. ”

“ The staff, the service, the food was 5 star rating. If you want to feel the true Puerto Rican food, you'll come here. Not everyone can cook Spanish food and if your not Hispanic you'll know what I'm saying. Went to a few Spanish places and it was awful. 1st time going to Old San Juan and me and my wife LOVED IT..... ”
“ The service was wonderful, the food tasted fantastic, and the drinks were amazing. Definitely a great spot for “special occasion” dining. ”
