Café Manolín Old San Juan

FANTASTIC place to pop in and grab some authentic Puerto Rican cuisine! The ambiance was great, the food was AMAZING, and the staff was very friendly! You absolutely HAVE to try the chicken stuffed Avacado with rice and creole beans!

Had a group of seven they not only accommodate but went the extra mile to make sure we all had a good refreshing meal . Very cost efficient and friendly will visit again .

Can’t say enough great things about this place. I’d come back every time. Nothing fancy but OH SO GOOD. Truly authentic food served without airs and respect. When dining alone that’s always the true test and they sure lived up to it. They had the right amount of attentive with superior food. I tried the beef soup as a starter with the house hot sauce of course. Then had the shrimp mofongo. Everything was spot on. The hot sauce had a bite without being overwhelming. The soup was layered and delightful, all the flavors blended together nicely. Then I followed it with a mongo a traditional Puerto Rican dish, simply delightful. If you want to get the pulse of a location, try this place out. It’s well worth the visit.

Fantastic food and service. The beer was freezing cold.

An absolute must.. MUST! We came back 3 times. Great price for incredible food. As local as you can get. Bilingual folks. Ham or bacon eggs with tostadas, breakfast sandwiches, flan, coffee. Everything so good.
