El Rincón de Paco — Restaurant in San Juan

Great location, great ambiance (Mia the dog is so cute!), great food and drinks! Stopped by for some food after exploring OSJ. It was in the perfect location with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. The decor was so cute. They incorporated traditional decor with beachy. The waitress was very nice and you can tell she was trying her best while being busy.

Liked this place 10x better than La Verguenza down the walkway, which to me was a rip-off, i wouldn't recommend La Verguenza to anyone, total price gouging. But El Rincon De Paco was dam good.

Will definitely...

Anyway the manager agreed to take the fettuccine off of the bill and agree to charge for the side salad. So we tried this place hopefully the next restaurant will be a...
