La Cueva del Chicken Inn

The food tasted pretty good--roasted chicken, tostadas--and the place was ok. Service was slow which may have been due to the time of day. The main issue was that my husband left his fairly expensive cane from Germany. He has mild dementia, and forgetfulness can be an issue. Less than 24 hours later, we returned and were informed no cane was found. Really? This reflects either poor management or greedy clientele. We won't be back.

Terrible food, poor service, bad acoustics. This place may have been good at some point years ago but I cannot believe the good reviews! I ordered a filet cost $31.00 and was given an overcooked dry tough piece of met which was not a filet. My dinner companion did not finish her filet because it was dry. Sides were unedible, appetizers tasteless. The best thing was the bottled Medalla beer.

Awesome food and fantastic service. Its made to look like your in a cave,theres a darker room inside the larger area. The place is very popular and has ample parking in the back. Will be going back to try more from the menu. Our waiter told me, the family of Raul Julia are the owners.

A San Juan Icon, La Cueva del Chicken Inn is more than just a restaurant; it's a beloved San Juan institution steeped in history and warmth. With its great atmosphere, it's excellent for every occasion, from a productive business lunch to a lively friends' get-together. It's the perfect spot for families after a thrilling Sunday soccer game, offering a welcoming vibe for all. Beyond the delicious food, their impressive cocktail bar crafts superb drinks, complemented by excellent service. Adding to its rich tapestry, our beloved Raul Juliá, the famous actor known for his exceptional talent and deep philanthropic work and advocacy for social causes, used to frequent this very spot as a child, permeating the place with cherished memories and profound meaning. La Cueva del Chicken Inn truly offers a unique and memorable experience.

Dusty lamps, dark and muggy. They have been there for 50 years and they probably run more on nostalgia than on actual results. We had a chorizo pizza, it was ok but the sauce was bland, no taste at all. Crust ok and crunchy on the outside, size a bit small for the price, and they sliced it uneven. Then the bistec rebosado had no seasoning at all, bland and the little taste ir had was of dirty oil. The mofongo was bland too, well done, but no salt on it, the caldo saved it and gave it some flavor. The chicken my son ordered was so overcooked and dry, he could not swallow it. He had to go to the bathroom and spit it. Service was super slow, at least they did not charge us for the chicken. If I had to go again, I would have pizza and mofongo with caldo. Nothing else.
