Organico Gourmet — Restaurant in San Juan

Dined there, April 7 lunch for my nephews bday treat.

Atmosphere is great and relaxing. Most of the food ordered was ok, like the soups, bulalo steak, some sandwich, roasted cauliflower, and the pizza.

EXCEPT, the salad....although great looking, generous portion, dressing was good, vegetables and fruits were fresh, had a worm ( leaf worm ).

The corned beef was described as being boiled to make it soft was quite hard to the bite.

We had to return the salad and the corned beef.

Only 2 servers were going around the resto, so service was a bit slow, and the 2 servers couldn't cope with the demands of the customers. When we returned the salad and corned beef, we told the waiter that we wont want a replacement, but later on, they came back with the replacement which we politely turned down. Maybe they were confuse already as they were only two going around the restuarant.

There were a few more servers behind the counter, but they were not serving the customers. I ordered for a lemon cake, and it didn't arrive, despite following it up. Eventually, i just cancelled it.

Would i go back? Im not...

The place has nice interiors but service was just okay.

For this visit, we ordered Pumpkin Soup, OG Mixed Greens Salad and Organic OG Porkchop with Apple Chutney.

Pumpkin soup was too thick but was okay. It could be better with a few more dash of salt. Quantity was quite plenty compared to other restaurants that serve pumpkin soup.

OG Mixed Greens Salad was good. I like the kefir dressing. The serving plate was full and the greens tasted fresh.

The OG Porkchop with Apple Chutney was just okay. The meat was not tender and could be seasoned a bit more. I was expecting a pureed texture with apple chunks for the Apple Chutney but it was too processed that it tasted watered down.

Overall, food could taste even better to match the steep price and service could better as the restaurant was not busy.

Could come back for the Bulalo...

Stumbled upon a charming new restaurant that not only serves delicious food but also welcomes furry friends! 🐾

For breakfast, we went with the Chicken & Pork Adobo — a classic that hit the mark with a perfect balance of salty and tangy flavors, true to tradition. Their veggie options were a pleasant surprise; both the Cauliflower Florettes and Mushroom Burger were rich in flavor and refreshing in that they didn’t try to imitate meat. We also tried the Seafood Marinara, featuring fresh shrimp and a well-rounded taste, though a thicker, more homemade sauce would have been ideal.

Prices felt fair given the quality, and the convenience of paid parking made it an easy choice for a relaxed Sunday breakfast. A place worth revisiting, especially with our four-legged family...
