Antojitos del Callejón

Top choice in San Juan


This hole-in-the-wall is a local favorite known for its delicious criollo dishes and antojos (fried finger foods). Plastic tables are set up in front, in an empty lot carpeted in Astroturf, with a view of ocean just beyond. Service is efficient and friendly, the Medalla beer ice cold and the salsa gets the joint jumping at weekends.
