Old San Juan Lunch Restaurant

[villager70]

Hi fellow cruiser: We have been to San Juan well over twenty time but have never eaten lunch in old San Juan. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Have considered Barrichina,s but just want to try local dishes. Will be there in Sept and looking at early around 1130 to 12 as Oasis departs early afternoon. Thanks for any advice.

Rosa di Trianna tapas restaurant. You can order a variety of little Puerto Rican dishes and sip some sangria in this quaint little restaurant that was once a jail. It's across from the catedral

And there's El Jibarito on Calle Sol and Calle Tanca, about 1/2 way between the piers and El Morro.

We wandered into a place called Cafe Manolin this past week. All local food and mostly locals eating there.. It was great.. lunch with tip was around 30.00 for the two of us. You can Google it for the address. We would definitely go there again!

The Parrot Club at 363 Calle Fortaleza. Great food, great atmosphere. Also excellent for dinner!

I second Rosa di Trianna tapas restaurant. We found this gem on our cruise 11/2015 and have now booked a trip to Puerto Rico just to go back!

we went here:

 

ate pork mofungo which was delicious

 

it is on a corner, easy to find. Open to streets so you can people watch.

A little over a year ago, we had lunch at Raices based on recommendations I'd read here on CC. We really enjoyed it; the mofongo was delicious! (We then headed over to Barrachinas to have piña coladas :D)

how far is this from the cruise port? One of us can not walk very far. Are there taxis if necessary?

It's a little bit of a walk from the OSJ port. We do it often but its a bit uphill. Plenty of taxi stands but it may take you longer in a taxi lol! If you are sailing into the other port (Royal Carib etc) then you need a taxi for sure.

El Jibarito! Don't go there for the atmosphere, but do go for the food. It is full of locals, and the food is unbelievable. Try the trifongo!
