Ooo, good tips, thanks!

[IslandDreamers]

Great tips, thanks!!

We have had it here:

http://www.metropolpr.com/

it was good,

 

and a couple of other places - which names I can't remember. Thats because they were not worth remembering.

 

Just looking for different places to try!

 

Keep 'em coming!:D

Best mofongo I had in PR was at Mi Casita in Isla Verde. SOOOOOOO good!

I've heard that!! We plan to head over to the beach in Isla Verde on our afternoon there and hang out near the Intercontinental. Is it close to that?

[SBthud326]

Yeah, it's just down the street (to the west) in a little strip mall on the south side of the road. Doesn't look like much on the outside but it's fabulous! I think there's a good cigar shop in the same strip too.

If you want to stay close to the cruise dock, I've read that Punto De Vista has great mofongo AND 2 for 1 mojitos!! I may need to check that out, too! :D

Here are the reviews from Tripadvisor - and it's apparently right across the street from the cruise docks! How convenient! ;)

Since you will be there in January, you'll have to come back here & give me your reviews! I won't be there until June! :(

Sounds like our group wants to stay away from OSJ on the weekend we will be there. There will be a big festival and we don't feel like competing with everyone just to get a dinner. I'm sure we will be able to find something fun closer to our hotels.

There is a restaurant by the Marriott Stellaris called "Latin Star" Hands down best food we had in PR. It doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but the mofongo was fantastic and so was the rest of their food! Also very reasonably priced.

We stayed in Condado two weekends ago so we lunched twice at Orozco's. Had the mofongo con pernil two days in a row because it was delicioso ($10.95). Hubby had the chuletas fritas one day ($11) and then bistec encebollado ($12) the next day. Very reasonable prices and worth stopping by if you are in the neighborhood.

 

We usually go to Metropol in Isla Verde but Orozco's was withing walking distance of our hotel.
