Need a place to go to after the 2 mile trek around the fort wall. Googled best Mojitos and found this small, quaint bar a few blocks from El Morro. The Mojito may have been the best I ever had. My wife had a Mango drink that was to die for. They also had great shot specials. Decorated in all things Marilyn Monroe.
The owner loves Norma Jean. So there are MM pics everywhere! We like that.
Carlos makes a great Mojito Classico. I'm just saying. It's across from the hotel, so I could stumble back. Met some very cool people.
Been coming here for many years. Basically a nicely decorated hole in the wall with excellent drinks and comfort food. Dedicated to Marylin, with all sorts of memorabilia decorating the bar. Outdoor tables too. Drinks are made fresh, which is becoming a rare occurrence. Large TV plays concerts and videos, volume in low. Cannot park: you must walk here. It is well worth it. Very relaxing atmosphere with the tiniest bathrooms ever.
Stopped for a quick bite while visiting Old San Juan. Nice small dive bar with outside seating. Ordered two appetizers veggie nachos and mofongo boats with smoked meat. The nachos arrived after a 20 minute wait. The veggie nachos were good. Ten minutes after the nachos arrived a male employee stated the mofongo dish called for three mofongo boats but they only had 2 could he substitute tostones as a replacement. I agreed. Approximately 20 minutes later the mofongo dish was dropped off. The male server dropped off one set of plastic utensils and no napkins. The two mofongo boats were completely over fried, hard, and un-edible. The smoked meat was tasty and the tostones were just okay. After taking our order the female server only returned when we were finished and we requested the check. We stopped here based on the reviews but the service deserved a zero.
