Tostado* Puerta de Tierra — Restaurant in San Juan

Tostado has perfected the model of a breakfast restaurant. The staff was welcoming and friendly, seated us right away, and was attentive without being pushy or rushing us. Each table is clean, orderly, with a sensible amount of settings, well spaced from other tables, and has comfy wooden chairs. Their espresso was top notch, strong without bitter, and served piping hope with rich steamed milk. We enjoyed the Lolita bowl with smoked salmon that was fresh, mouth watering, and served with good portions. My egg white omlet was cooked to exactly the right temperature with a healthy amount of cheese that left me full but not overly stuffed. I also enjoyed their hot cereal (some sort of porridge) that was piping hot and lightly sweetened along with a fragrant amount of cinnamon and nutty flavor. Very well put together. Each breakfast entrée scomes with sourdough or Sao Pao buttered toast. Each option is flaky, fresh, and crisp. This bread will not disappoint you – I am sure they prepare it in house or have it delivered daily.

With some petty cash they could have gone to the nearest supermarket and get few dozens of eggs, to comply satisfactorily with the menu. Either the Manager didn't have the willingness to buy them or he/she doesn't have good managerial skills. Besides the eggs' issue, food was very tasty and well presented, and our server was really awesome, trying to cope with the lack of eggs, offering alternatives to our choices and serving us in a very...

So I came here on accident sort of. I intended to go to a different restaurant near the beach but they happened to be closed that day so I ended up here. This place was more of a modern breakfast/lunch spot. If you are craving a more American or American-esque dish for your stay then I would recommend here as it is a local place (lots of locals here) with fair prices. However, if you’re going for a more hole in the wall local experience I would not recommend it. It seems like their breakfast items are best. I ordered a sandwich and it was mediocre to me but I was jealous of French toast and Mallorca sandwiches around me. Seems like I ordered the wrong thing but not a bad...
