La Cueva del Chicken Inn — Restaurant in San Juan

I didn't know it was possible to make a lousy omelette.

To explain: I wanted a fast lunch to go, and what I got looked good, but there was no seasoning to the egg or shrimp. I wasn't expecting a lot, but I expected to have a little salt, onion or garlic by default. It was the most tasteless, rubbery and awful thing ever.

To that end, you don't go to a pizza place for chicken or eggs, even if the place is called "The Chicken's Cave". Def. misleading but quite memorable. That being said, knowing better I got a personal pizza the 2nd time I went. The pizza is excellent, they know how to use green pepper and onions after all!
