One of my favorite restaurants in town. I must say that I preferred the Indian food there. To die for: samosas, Murgh Tikka Masala and if you want to be near the maximum level of pleasure you need to have the kulfi and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Please trust me on this.

This place is amazing during the day is a vegetable and fruit market and in the nights is the best nightlife you can experience while in San Juan. Also is well- known for the food scene which is amazing. I recommend you to go to El Chicharrón (try the octopus tentacle), La Alcapurria Quemá, and El Pescador. Drinks and mofongo at El Coco de Luis. Anyways, everything's good in La Placita. Best days Thursdays and Fridays because they are full of people.

Airbnb should have a category in Puerto Rico for "Chinchorros". If you want to know what a Chinchorro is, you gotta go there and just so know is one of Anthony Bourdain's favorite.
