Mercado Caribe Cocina & Barra — Restaurant in San Juan

A friend recommended this place and take advantage of a rainy day to visit it knowing that is going to be with few people. When seated the waiter suggested to start with “queso frito” with gauva sauce and breaded fried squid. Both were very good. Continued with the main course, went for the seafood: the conch and the octopus with “bifongo” were very very good!! Tender,tasty and good portion. The “bisctec rebosado” with truffle french fries was very good too. To close the evening, the waiter wisely recommended us for dessert the “crème brûlée” and the coconut custard (flan de coco) he told us that both were made by the chef (we call it homemade) and he recommended. Good chocie because were delicious!! Creamy and tasty. Although the coffee was good. The overall experience and service was very good, a little pricey for a dinner for 3...

The food was good, but the service made the difference. It was our first time at this place. I was visiting my friend who is local and we found it on Google and through the reviews. The first server wasn't engaging but then Jose Caraballo was our server and he turned on the nudge. Always checking, when I asked do you have guava salsa with the churrasco - we don't but it's an easy fix- he made sure we felt attended. Then another lady was echoing the tone and we spend 2hrs here like it was our 4 time. The churrasco was tender, the majado of the day was flavorful and not dry. The mojito of Pashion fruit was good, and I'm not a fan of mojito but wanted to try something new. We order queso frito, chorizo al vino (not a fan of this dish here) Conclusion:...

Amazing Food service and drink ! Order a mofongo de Camarones and margaritas it was delicious ! The attention was absolutely great ! Our waitress was knowledgeable and extremely friendly definitely we are coming back !!! Gracias por todo ! El servicio La comida las bebdias...
