Editorial Review for Old San Juan – by Rick Munarriz
In Short
Whether you're a homesick Boricua or simply out to get your fix of Puerto Rican cuisine, Old San Juan serves up authentic island delicacies. The best stuff isn't exactly healthy like the arañitas (shreds of plantain, fried together so they cluster together), sorrullitos (fried cheese-filled corn sticks), and alcapurrias (beef-stuffed plantain fritters) but you'll still be chirping like a giddy coqui on the way out.

Want really good, fresh Puerto Rican food? Want it presented in a non-pretentious, easy-to-get-to place? Head to Old San Juan Restaurant, where the man in the kitchen really knows what he's doing. This little corner of island heaven offers good food and good service. Crave great pasteles? Want a fresh, tasty cod salad? Feeling like some bacalaitos? Need a dose of great rice and beans - PR-style? Come on down! Weekends feature a very nice buffet - it even includes dessert and a drink - for a resonable price. I've been to this place several times and liked it so much I used them to cater a corporate event at my company. We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month one fine Thursday with lunch (for 100!) from Old San Juan. That made for some very happy people, and I was the hero! Places like this deserve a good following so that they thrive and multiply!
Pros: Friendly and efficient service. Great food.
Cons: Only con I can think of is parking - there's not much of it.
