Cafetería Mallorca

Ok. I am not sure who is giving this place 5 stars. 😬 *NOT American friendly *- the food was not very good, the eggs tasted super weird and were cover cooked. The bacon was just ok, some of it was edible. The service was not good. And I’m pretty sure the person who was seating us didn’t even acknowledge us until 20 min later? On the flip side the Mallorca with butter was really good, as well as the fresh lemonade. But I wouldn’t go back just for those things.

It is what it is. An old building in old San Juan. This joint is sparse with mismatched chairs. It feels mostly clean, we had to wipe down our tables though. Everyone here is on island time, so don't expect quick service. Our waiter tried to be funny but seemed rather rude. The group ordered their well known mallorcan sandwich, which was just ok. They could have been hotter and actually melted the cheese. I was sick so I had their chicken soup, it was meh... Overall we can check this joint off our list.

Such an iconic spot! Definitely worth it for a quick breakfast bite! We got the Mallorca breakfast sandwich with egg, ham, and cheese. Their pastries are also a must-try.

Take a step back in time when you visit this restaurant. Must have Cafe con Leche. And a Mallorca. I enjoyed the ham, cheese and egg mallorca. Quick and friendly service that's within walking distance to so much in Old San Juan. Great choice for breakfast!

This is a great local spot for breakfast in Old San Juan. If you are looking for fine dining for breakfast, this place is not for you. Its atmosphere gives off hole in the wall, but you will be happy with the choice you made. The servers are quite funny and joke around with you while you are eating. I’d recommend the Mallorca with ham, egg, and cheese.

Best breakfast place ever! We’ve been coming here for breakfast two years in a row on vacation and we dream about it when we’re away. The ham, egg, cheese Mallorca is the star of the show on the menu. Best breakfast sandwich ever!! Their Orange Juice is also really good. The owner is amazing and very kind, he is always there!

Soooo yummy! Tried several of the pastries and had the Mallorca sandwich with ham, egg and cheese. So delicious! Slow service but it was at the start of the festival and it was very crowded.

We thankfully didn’t have to wait in line and found seats at the bar, but beware that there’s usually a long line. The mallorcas were delicious and definitely wait the time. I do think that they should expand, but that’s just my personal opinion lol. You see many of locals here and the waiters all look happy (with the exception of the grumpy lady at the register). Don’t forget to buy mallorcas to go!
