El Campeón Chino

The Best Mofongo in San Juan: 15 Spots to Try | Eater

"At El Campeón in Old San Juan, Patrick and Cecilia Champion bring in the crowds with live music and happy hour offerings. Their casual yet fine menu focuses on seafood dishes like lobster risotto and whole fried snapper. Try the trifongo, stuffed into rounds of filete de cerdo (pork tenderloin); the meat encases sweet ripe plantains and starchy mashed yuca along with the salty green plantains, and a risotto of pork sausage and sauteed vegetables on the side further enhances the porky, salty flavors. If you prefer surf to turf, order from their variety of seafood-stuffed mofongos, like the shrimp in criolla or garlic sauce." - Gabriela Torres
