Arrope Café — Restaurant in San Juan

TL;DR: don't eat here.

They are overpriced, they lowered the portions and the quality. Not worth your money. Service is mediocre at best. Don't support this business, you're better off going anywhere else. This is my first review ever, I don't usually post reviews, but this time it was necessary. I've been coming here since this opened, they have passed the point of no return. I'm not going to waste my breath saying "they've lost a faithful customer" because I wasn't that faithful to begin with, but I'm definitely going to encourage everyone to stop coming here.

TL;DR: No vayan a Arrope 🤗

Hablemos de Arrope. Arrope no solo ha subido los precios y bajado las porciones, sino que también ha bajado significativamente la calidad de la comida. Yo soy una persona simple, siempre pido una pasta con salsa rosada, ¿simple verdad? Al parecer no. Cada vez la salsa es más aguada, cada vez hay menos pasta en mi plato, cada vez el pan es más "chewy", y cada vez estoy más decepcionada. Esta vez no pedí pan ya que la última vez fue demasiado malo. Pero esta vez botaron la bota porque me dieron una pasta con salsa TAN líquida y aguada que cuando cojo un bocado, lo que cojo es pasta pelá. Me he quedado perpleja porque no sé para qué pagué SEIS dólares por menos de un plato de pasta dura y salsa aguada con dios sabe qué. La única razón por la que sigo viniendo a este lugar es porque es prácticamente lo único abierto los domingos. No entiendo cómo pretenden abrir más establecimientos de Arrope con la calidad tan pésima no solo de comida sino de servicio también. Se aprovechan del ajoro de los estudiantes y del hecho de que saben que son el "last resort" de los estudiantes. Fui y traté de devolver la comida pero me dijeron que "no había nada malo con el plato" y que "nadie más se había quejado hoy". Solo porque no se han quejado, no significa que no esté mala. A los que me leen: no se queden callados, les están robando el dinero y las cosas están muy malas como para aceptar comer algo over-priced y...

This restaurant is located in Rio Piedras, San Juan. This is essentially a college town, hosting the University of Puerto Rico. This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. They have some authentic Puerto Rican Dishes (built your own type of dishes). They are also well know for having a vast bare of breakfast dishes which always come out sooo good. I had French toast with Nutella and strawberries. I also ordered their friend eggs which includes toasts. Lastly, I ordered a “Guanábana” juice (they are natural squeezed juices), and I had a coffee too (they are excellent). I totally recommend this place for a nice breakfast or lunch time. They have many study/co-working spaces, as well as a nice outdoor seating...

If you are looking for a little bit of green within Rio Piedras, a good coffee, and great talk with friends, this place is a good one. Also good to read books and have a little bit of me time. Would have loved to have service to the table. In this place you order your food, as soon as it is ready you have to pick it up and take it to your table. The food was good although it was not impressive. Pet friendly place. Loved my cup of coffee and a beautiful mural related to the greatness of reading...
