Best Place for Lunch in SJ??

[PizzaPilot]

We will be in San Juan on our next cruise and would like to have lunch there at a local place (no chains!).

 

Any recommendations for a great place to have lunch???

Pardon my spelling but go to Bombera (???) it was on Rachel Ray $40.00 a day, you can look it up. It is a bakery/ diner. VERY local place within walking dist. to pier.

Hope you like it as much as we did !!!

It's La Bombonera. I'd recommend it more for a unique local breakfast experience. Try the Mallorcas! They have super-strong coffee as well that the locals drink. It's a local place, nothing fancy, but it is inexpensive and a nice authentic local experience. I would recommend Cafe Amapola for a nice lunch with view of the ocean. http://www.cafeamapola.com/ Call to make sure they are open because they are remodeling right now according to the webpage.

 

La Barrachina is also a great lunch place because it is right in the middle of all the shopping. http://www.barrachina.com/ (Click on Old San Juan link.) Make sure you have a Pina Colada!

Unfortunately, I don't think they will be re-opening. Last I heard, the owner got sick and there are no plans to re-open in the near future.:(

I'm assuming it's the historic district - right there where Carnival docks; across frm the fort...

If you will be in Old San Juan you could go to Berrachina's. Or even to Senior Frogs!
