Fillie's — Restaurant in San Juan

So visiting PR, my girlfriend and I visited this spot that was down the street from where we were staying. After looking at the menu, I ordered the Mac & Cheese burger, added bacon, lettuce, tomato and grilled onions.

The burger came with French fries, which were really good. The burger itself left somethings to be desired. It was an overpowering garlic taste on the meat. I tasted the garlic more than anything else. I feel that salt and pepper is the normal and you usually can’t mess that up, unless you’re heavy handed. I know it can be difficult to match the flavors from customer to customer. Some may think it’s over seasoned, under seasoned or just right. I would say salt and pepper only would help keep it normal. I did have another issue with my food, but the owner? manager? took care of it, so it’s was fine.

The restaurant doesn’t have normal or cheap water. It’s $2 a bottle. I understand wanting to provide clean and safe water to customers, but $2 each is overkill. A case of 30-40 pack of water is like $4-$6. If you ask for water, they won’t tell you there’s a charge unless you ask, but you’ll see it on your bill. I’m not a fan of restaurants that do this. A heads up would be nice. With how inexpensive it is to get the water, it should actually be free even if within reason. Maybe 2 bottles per person or something if you’re that worried about the $4-$6 cost for a whole case lol.

The prices for everything is not your typical prices for the normal burger spot or whatever. The cheapest burger combo is like $14 for the 1/2lb and French fries.

Lastly, as some others have mentioned, I feel the shots are not accurate. I ordered a double and it looks like it was just a single shot. I’ve never seen shots this small before and I’ve visited many bars and establishments. If you’re going to order a shot, maybe bring a shot pour cup to make sure it’s accurate.

Overall, I’m heavily leaning to not returning to this place. If I did return, it would be because my girlfriend wanted to go, not...

A wonderful quaint location just off the main Street. Simple selections on their menu with a full bar available. Prices are great and the quality and flavor of the food was some of the best we enjoyed on the island. It was so good in fact that it was one of only two places we returned more than once to eat. Both times eating there we had the hamburger and nachos. Both had a nice Puerto Rican spin on some classic dishes and the serving size was with...

Delicious food, so good! They have an amazing green hot sauce/salsa that we bought a bottle of. Also a lot of food for the price, as you should be able to tell by the pictures, the portions are big for regular $12-17 prices. It’s a relatively small place with a very casual, lower light bar-type vibe. The service was also great and very friendly, and the cocktails strong. I got the fillie’s 1-lb burger and my wife got the...
