Cafe 18 — Restaurant in San Juan

Visiting San Juan on a work trip and we decided to stop in here for our first meal off the plane. Do not bother if you’re not local or Spanish speaking. We were seated then after about 15 minutes a waitress came over to us, we didn’t have any questions and we’re actually ready to order but since we spoke English and did not understand much Spanish she ask us to hold on, then asked another server to come over.

Finished off with tres leches , was good a bit too moist causing it to be a little soggy and the temp was a bit warm but it still hit the spot. There was also a live music venue which was a...

I order the rodabalo (turbot) fish, I had this fish before many times it is always soft and you don't need a knife to cut it. The fish I was served and was tuff and I told the waiter, I told the waiter and he was just nasty about it. Also the salad I was served it was not the salad on the menu, I was served a couple of lettuce, 2 tomatoes and two little pickles. I was charged $40+ even thought I left the food there to show them that what I was served is not what's on the menu. That was the last time I ever went to...
