We were told of this place, first by the taxi driver and then at the Sheraton desk where we were looking for "authentic" Puerto Rican food. We were not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is very tight, although if you are claustrophobic, you might find it too close to others but we thought it added to the charm. We ordered... more

We went to Raices during a cruise stop in San Juan on a friends recommendation. It was great. We started with the sangria which was so refreshing and delicious on a very humid and hot day. Don't hesitate ordering the specialty of the house, Mofongo. We had the strip steak version and it was wonderful. Served in a mortar it... more

Over priced. Over rated. Go to dragonfly or Bebos. We order the appetizer that has everything. They brought out food to our table and we started to eat it. It was the wrong thing, we found out they gave us the food for the table next to us. They charged us for both meals and the manager asked us if... more

I recently returned from another trip to PR, as usual one of my stops was at Raices in Old San Juan and once again I was not disappointed. During my trip I was with some friends from FL, meeting some friends that were traveling from TX, and some of my high school friends. My goal was to introduce them to... more

We were not disappointed in the Puerto Rican cuisine Raices had to offer! The waitstaff was very friendly. We arrived early and were sat immediately. We started off with the sampler platter. I wasn't quite sure what was involved in the platter, but it was very enjoyable! I highly recommend the Sangria - excellent! And it is served with a... more

The food was soso. My husband had KanKan or pork chops that was hard as he%#$. I think the threw them in a hot pot of lard and served them. This food is not worth the wait. I thought they had to slaughter the pig and the cow for my beef stake. Not only is the wait long outside, it... more
