Casita Miramar

The restaurant was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful. The lighting was perfect for an evening meal. The food was incredible. So delicious. We each ordered different items and we loved every dish. The portion sizes were large. The staff was so very nice. They even gave us a birthday dessert of tres leche cake. The service and food for an absolutely perfect night. It’s very affordable. It’s a must go too!!!

We visited Casita Miramar while in San Juan to celebrate our 1-year anniversary. While the restaurant came highly recommended, our experience unfortunately did not live up to expectations. To start, we were given complimentary starter soup and bacalao fritters both were actually quite good and gave us hope for the rest of the meal. However, we ended up waiting well over an hour, about 1 hour and 30 minutes, for our main courses. During that time, our server, Jeffrey, noticed our visible frustration and said he would “go investigate” what was taking so long. Despite that, the delay continued, and by the time the food finally arrived, we had completely lost our appetite. We didn’t even touch our meals. It was clear we were upset, but no apology was ever offered. Jeffrey asked if we wanted the food packed to go (we declined), and that was it no effort to acknowledge the inconvenience, and nothing was taken off the bill. To make matters worse, a large party of 13 or more people was seated next to us while we waited, and it genuinely felt like the staff’s focus was almost entirely on them. We understand large groups can take attention, but being completely overlooked, especially while celebrating something meaningful, felt dismissive and frustrating. It’s unfortunate, because the place has charm and the starters were promising, but the lack of communication, care, and hospitality during our visit really soured the evening.

First let’s start with who attended to us, Gabriel. He was absolutely awesome, friendly and very attentive to us. He made sure we felt like home. The food was amazing with awesome flavors. My daughter had mofongo with shrimp and I had mofongo with skirt steak absolutely awesome. We also had Alcapurrias de corned beef and mamposteao which were all great. The drink was one of the best we have ever had, “El Conflicto” the mixture of piña colada with ginger tea and cinnamon was absolutely delicious. The dessert of “coquito tres leche” was the best dessert we have ever had absolutely delicious and you can taste the coconut. There isn’t enough stars to give Casita Miramar. Thank you for everything.

1000000/10. This dinner was immaculate. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is very classy-chic. The menu items were authentic Puerto Rican cuisines, the sangrias were tasty, and a special shoutout to our hostess Alyah. She was so sweet and gave the best recommendations!!

We haven't been here in years and still popular today than it was years ago. We couldn't get our desired reservation but we got lucky a couple of days later and the food is still great. This house setting is more open than before so there are different areas to sit on different levels. The food delicious as always and the customer service is personal and the staff is attentive. I will continue to return whenever I visit San Juan Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

Both the food and drinks were amazing. I ordered Churrasco and it was cooked to perfection!! The soup they bring out before the meal was so flavorful I was thinking about that soup all week. One of the best I've been too so far. The servers were very attentive making sure our drinks were never empty. The area is a little difficult with parking but I did get lucky with street parking. The place itself is not that fancy but it's definitely one of my favorites!

During my trip to Puerto Rico, I stumbled upon this incredible restaurant and was absolutely amazed! The food was bursting with flavor, the drinks were perfectly crafted, and the service was top-notch. Alex took such great care of us, making the whole experience unforgettable. I loved it so much that I couldn’t resist coming back the very next day with my parents—and they were just as blown away. This place is an absolute must-visit!

Spectacular! I don’t live on the island anymore but I’m sure to return here on my next visit. Evelin our server and Yadira the manager were amazing, the cocktails were amazing and especially the food and dessert were amazing.

THE service WAS PHENOMENAL , servers greeted me nicely and were attentive. 10/10 will visit again

Casita Miramar is such a gem! I came here with my boyfriend and his local friend who had been wanting to try this spot, and it did not disappoint. When you walk in, the house-style layout makes you feel like you've been invited into someone's home, it's cozy, and full of charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel welcoming. The food is what really sealed the deal for me. They start you off with a complimentary plantain soup that's so comforting and flavorful, it's the perfect way to begin. The Pastelón was easily a standout, layered with beef picadillo, sweet plantains, and topped with a gooey cheese fondue that was indulgent and satisfying, unlike anything i've ever had before. I also loved the Chicken Ajilimójili salad, which was fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced. Between the vibrant dishes, attentive service, and the beautiful ambiance of dining in a home-style restaurant, Casita Miramar is an absolute must-visit in San Juan.

This place came highly recommended, but it was a big disappointment. The atmosphere is eclectic and cute, with small intimate rooms and pothos plants draped everywhere. Unfortunately, the charm ended there. The place felt dirty--our chairs were sticky, and my son had to go to the bathroom just to wipe himself off. We ordered three appetizers and three entrées to share as a family of four (one adult and three children). Food runners dropped everything quickly, then vanished, leaving us with empty water glasses. Our server was kind the few times we saw her, but she was essentially a ghost--completely inattentive until it was time to bring the check. The food itself was mediocre at best, nothing close to the glowing reviews we had read. The service, however, was worse than the food and truly soured our experience. This was hands down the worst service of our entire vacation in Puerto Rico. Don't waste your time or money here--there are plenty of far better options.

Casita Miramar es un restaurante precioso--tiene un ambiente acogedor que realmente te hace sentir como en casa. El personal es muy amable y atento, lo que hizo la experiencia aún mejor. Empezamos con un cóctel llamado El Conflicto, que estaba dulce y refrescante. También nos dieron una sopa de plátano de cortesía--estaba buena, aunque un poco salada para mi gusto. De entradas pedimos el queso frito con fruta de temporada encima (¡delicioso! la combinación de lo dulce con lo salado fue perfecta) y las croquetas, que también estuvieron muy buenas. De plato fuerte, yo pedí el cabrito, que tenía buen sabor pero la porción era enorme. Mi hermana pidió el pastelón, y la verdad, ojalá hubiera pedido eso yo también--la mezcla de carne, el plátano dulce y fondue de queso estaba espectacular. Terminamos con el tres leches de coco, y sinceramente, fue el MEJOR tres leches que he probado en mi vida... ¡y normalmente no me gustan los pasteles de tres leches! Para cerrar, a todos les ofrecen un shot de licor de cortesía, un detalle muy bonito. En resumen, Casita Miramar es una parada obligatoria. Excelente comida, servicio cálido y un ambiente hogareño. Lo recomiendo al 100%. Casita Miramar is such a beautiful restaurant--it has a cozy, welcoming vibe that truly makes you feel at home. The staff is incredibly friendly and sweet, which made the experience even better. We started with a cocktail called El Conflicto, which was sweet and refreshing. They also brought us a complimentary plantain soup--it was good, though a little too salty for my taste. For appetizers, we had the fried cheese topped with seasonal fruit (absolutely delicious--the sweet and savory combo was perfect) and the croquetas, which were also very good. For entrees, I ordered the cabrito, which had great flavor but came in a very large portion. My sister had the pastelón, and honestly, I wish I had ordered that instead--the mix of beef, sweet plantain, and cheesy fondue was out of this world. We ended with the coconut tres leches, and let me just say--it was hands down the BEST tres leches I've ever had, and I usually don't even like tres leches cakes! To top it off, they give everyone a complimentary shot of liquor at the end of the meal--a really nice touch. Overall, Casita Miramar is a must-visit. Amazing food, warm service, and a homey atmosphere. I'd 100% recommend it.

I think the only thing I could complain about is how you get to your seat -- it's a bit confusing. It's amazing, but then again, it is also a house. The food was beyond amazing -- truly impeccable. It's such a cute little spot -- romantic if you want to go on a date, but they also have separate rooms for larger groups, like a big birthday dinner (which is what we did for my husband's birthday). Reservations are highly recommended. The vibe is spectacular.

Everything about this place is incredible. We've been here a few times over the years and it just is always great. First if you're plan on eating here make your reservation in advance at least a few days in advance. We've had main different dishes here but we tried something new. The goat stew is so good it reminded me of oxtail stew and it was delicious. The drunken chicken was also good and the beans and rice are always a must have. The service is always good and the ambiance is chill romantic vibe. Remember make your reservation before a few days in advance.

Probably the best thing I ate in PR. Tastes like someone's abuela went to CIA and hooked up with a guy in the dorm from Barcelona. Excellent modern criollo place. The seafood rice was memorable. The piñon was also really good as were the tostones with mayo ketchup with tasted smoked. Wine list was also well paired. Kind of on a side street. Go early as it fills up quick. Service was very nice and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Had the chance to visit Casita Miramar while in San Juan celebrating my birthday. Highly recommend making a reservation. It was packed on a Wednesday night, for large parties that have free private rooms. The hostess and our servers were very friendly, professional, and courteous throughout the visit. Even brought out a free birthday dessert to help celebrate. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful on the inside and out. It looks like it used to be some sort of hotel or multi home building as it has twisting and turning paths within. The large party rooms are located in the back past the main dining room and two bars. We loved the space away from the crowd as our 8 person party was pretty loud. Lots of nice furniture and scenic places throughout the take photos. Food: The food was excellent! They start everyone off with a soup, I believe it was lentil but regardless it was delicious. For appetizers we ordered the cod fritters, fried cheese with guava, alcapurrias, and requeson. My favorite was the requeson; it was a cottage cheese and tomato salad with greens, and a honey/oregano dressing. Didn't expect to like it but was licking the bowl it was so good. Drinks we ordered a couple pitchers of sangria both white and red. Entrees included the empanada del jefe, churrasco, and carne frita. The carne frita was by far the standout; super tender pork with pickled shallots and caramelized onion. Dessert was the tres leches, flan and chocolate cakes. Tres leches being the table favorite. All in all it was an amazing experience and Casita Miramar really made it a special birthday. Will definitely come back in future trips to San Juan.

The meal I had was so good, the steak was perfectly cooked and the rice was delicious. Our waiter was very polite and attentive. The atmosphere of this restaurant is very nice and I will definitely be back here the next time I am in the area. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Aaliyah our server i believe was her name was amazing! That alone makes me wanna come back everyday , im a pretty picky eater but she had no issue accommodating my needs which i tremendously appreciate, the drinks were 10/10 as well, i definitely recommend making a reservation but we came in without one at about 8pm and was seated almost immediately . we sat outside on the beautiful patio and enjoyed our time here for sure!

This highly recommended spot did not disappoint. We got there a bit earlier than our reservation and we were seated quickly. We started with complimentary plantain soup and bacalaitos and these were already tasty. We then got some drinks and I liked the Sangria Copa a bit more than the El Conflicto. The entrees were amazing, the steak was tender and juicy. The arroz con mariscos was loaded with seafood. Our server was also super friendly. A bit fancier than my average meal but it was sooo good. The interior was classy and fancy, definitely a great spot for a date or if you are celebration an occasion.

On rare occasion, I was misled by Yelp reviews this restaurant was top rated on Yelp but it was a total disappointment. All hype sorry I want well prepared PR food. I came here based on reviews for mofongo and they didnt have a mofongo dish. It was charming looking from the outside perched on the second floor. At first we had the bacalao fritters and pumpkin soup and they were quite a good start. The seafood in oil was ok. Then it went down hill, the fried pork was oily and overcooked it did not feel like a top rated quality restaurant with the way they handled the pork. The snapper, we didnt get the impression it was fresh seafood it was fried to the death and definitely didnt weigh 1 lb it was so small and they charged me $53 for 1.5 lb. The drunken chicken was dry. The wait staff was not attentive and we had many uncleared plates and empty glasses. Overall for $200 at a top rated restaurant it was mediocre at best even the street stalls make better food than this. Adios!

This is an excellent restaurant to get some authentic Puerto Rican food, the aesthetic/vibes are wonderful, and the staff were fantastic! It was so great that we went two days consecutively. First the food. Absolutely delicious. Over the course of two nights my family ordered: - fried queso - Alcapurias - Croquetas de Bacalo -churrasco -carne frita - bistec encebollado -Empanada jefe -Cabrita -flan -tres leches Every single person loved their dish. No complaints! The service was excellent and consistent and it didn't matter if they were your waiter, they were warm and helpful. Add this to your must visit San Juan food scene.

Dinner Recap: A Feast Worth Every Bite Drinks: Started strong with a passion fruit mojito--refreshing, zesty, and downright dangerous in the best way. The piña colada? Pure perfection. Appetizers: I wish I knew the name of this dish because it deserves a standing ovation--fried plantains stuffed with pork, and oh my god, exceptional. They also surprised us with a complimentary plantain soup, and I've never had anything like it before--creamy, comforting, absolutely unreal. The cod fish fritters? Even as someone who's not big on fish, they were an unexpected yes--especially when dipped in that soup. Mains: I went for the skirt steak rare, and they delivered. Juicy, tender, perfection. My partner got the bistec (pounded beef), and I'll admit, I was skeptical... until I took a bite. The onions and seasoning turned it into something magical. As a side, we had mamposteao rice (which came with the skirt steak but not the bistec so we swapped in for the regular rice and beans), and let me tell you--this was the best rice I've had in a very very long time. Of course, we also had tostones, because what's a meal without them? Phenomenal, as expected. By the time dessert rolled around, I was already at max capacity, but we powered through and ordered the homemade tres leches to go. Thirty minutes later, I caved. It was moist, rich, and absolutely worth the self-inflicted food coma. Now, I'm lying in bed, suffering from overindulgence--but with zero regrets. Easily one of the best meals, if not the best, I've had in PR. 100% coming back. PS: Made the reservation a month ago, and thank god I did.

If I would have based this review off of my very 1st time visiting CM, it would have been a 5! I did have to take a star off after my entree the second trip was a bit disappointing. But, first the positives: I loved that it was right next door to the Don Rafa hotel where we were guests.. friendly staff and Jeffrey was really a gem! We were seated quickly without a reservation. I LOVE that they surprise you with complimentary soup and what seemed like fried bacalao fritters. OMG soooo good! We ordered a pitcher of passion fruit sangria at the suggestion of Jeffrey and probably should've opted per glass. It was decent but not the best. A bit sour. My Pastelon (beef picadillo, plantains, and cheese fondue) was really tasty! I would've preferred a creamier cheese fondue, but it was still flavorful. My friend loved her Cabrito (stewed goat) she said it was rich and the goat was very well cooked. The 2nd time around, everything was spot on except my empanada del jefe was very underwhelming.. I guess I misjudged in thinking that it would be an actual empanada, it was basically just a chicken schnitzel with a little bit of red sauce. I found the chicken to be less than flavorful.. the mamposteado rice was delicious, though. If I would have packed a bag, I would have purchased some of their house made hot sauce to go. It was so flavorful... a little on the vinegary side, but it worked for my taste buds. I would definitely return to try more of the menu if I'm ever back in San Juan!

First, shout out to our waiter Gabriel. After a very unpleasant experience with the hostesses, both of whom need hospitality training immediately. Gabriel made us feel welcome and prevented me from walking out-the hostess were that terrible. Anyway, it pays to have a great waiter on staff and one who took pride in teaching us about the history of the restaurant and its 10 years in operations. Note: make reservations! We did and we were indeed glad that someone on TikTok mentioned it. Price range: it is a bit costly but the experience makes it worth the money. Appetizers: To start, they gave us some pumpkin soup on the house with a side of cod fish fritters. This soup was remarkable! A bit spicy but creamy in texture, and bursting with flavors. The saltiness of the cod fish fritters perfectly balanced off the dish and it was a great start to meal. Drinks: I ordered the Spicy Nancy and my boyfriend ordered the Casita Rum Fashion. Both drinks were STELLAR! Compliments to the bartender for knowing how to mix drinks to perfection. Main dish: I ordered the Pastelón (beef picadillo, sweet plantain, cheese fondue) it came with a side of white rice and beans. Lean in when I say this, the rice and beans, honey! I had to sit back and savor the taste because those beans were immaculate. The Pastelón received a mixed review from me because while some parts were delectable, parts of the meat inside was overcooked so it was dry and lacked flavor. I wanted to give the dish a perfect 10 but the beans alone deserved that lol. The Pastelón was likely a 8 out of 10 and that was because of those little dried out beef parts. My boyfriend ordered the local catch, Mahi Mahi, and he raved that his meal was excellent! Overall, I truly enjoyed the experience but can I pause to get into the layout of this restaurant! The layout was reminiscent of an old Spanish villa and as we walked to our seats, we saw various corners of the restaurant which were perfectly decorated with artwork which told a story. It was so beautiful in there and very romantic, might I add. We were seated in a very private area and that made the evening even more special. I would certainly visit again and recommend them.

Una vibra bien cabrona! La comida increíble, los drinks deliciosos. Servicio al cliente 10/10! El mejor pastel de 3 leches de coco! Gracias Kevin V. Por la recomendación. Será mi pit stop cada que esté en PR.

AH-MAZ-ING! The ambience, aesthetics, service and the FOOD! 6 girls celebrating a special bday and it did not disappoint.

I found this business while looking for a restaurant with fried red snapper. I was fortunate with reservations and so booked one and headed over. The restaurant set up is quite romantic and yet also great for groups and families. Service was spectacular from arrival to departure. I ordered their spiced coconut cocktail which was delicious, we given the complementary plantain soups and salt fish fritters which was delicious! Then we got Pastelon and the fried fish. We were so stuffed by the end that dessert wasnt an option. The pastelon was the best we had during our visit. Definitely looking forward to dining here again.

A Must-Visit Gem in San Juan, PR. From the moment we stepped into Casita Miramar, we knew this was going to be more than just a dinner--it was going to be an experience. This was the first restaurant we tried during our stay in Puerto Rico, and it set the bar high. The building itself feels like stepping into a grand, colorful home, with multiple floors and charming dining areas--each with its own character. It's warm, vibrant, and instantly inviting. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and authentically Puerto Rican. The drinks were just as memorable--perfectly crafted and refreshing. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Casita Miramar is not just a place to eat--it's a place to savor, enjoy, and immerse yourself in the culture. If you're visiting San Juan, this is a must-try. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit

We came for dinner on a Monday evening and not expecting it to be so full! We had a reservation, so the wait wasn't terrible. The food was good and so was the service. When we arrived they brought us a soup and what seemed to be tostones. Overall a good spot, but definitely make a reservation!

So I stayed at a hotel nearby and we came here 3 times on our trip. The food is AMAZING. The rice is magical. The Churassco is life changing. The appetizers are also awesome. Our goal was to only eat Puerto Rican food on this trip, and it was awesome that we were able to find upscale PR food that didn't skimp out on the taste. The service is also wonderful. I'd go here again :). The restaurant is also super beautiful inside.

Definitely recommend this place for delicious PR cuisine. A friend who lived in PR brought us here and co-signs the food. Firstly the whole place is a vibe. It's vintage feeling, speakeasy feeling, and also with a touch of mood. Lots of different rooms. Started with a soup as we sat down which was delicious. Got a few small plates like the chorizo balls, the avacado salad, and something else that was incredible. Steak and chicken for dinner. The rice and beans are so flavorful. Not a scrap was left over.

Incredible meal at Casita Miramar. From the moment we sat down, the experience began. They brought out a plantain soup and something that resembled breadfruit (which we tried the prior day elsewhere). It wasn't actually breadfruit though and we aren't quite sure what it was. We didn't order either of these items, but I assume they bring these to everyone. And they were tasty. We ordered Requesón (a cheese and tomato dish) that was incredible. We loved these. And then Carne Frita which was a pork with caramelized onions small plate. It was decent but not compared to the rest of the meal. My husband loved these hot sauce they had at the table as well. For our main, we shared the skirt steak. It was incredible! Highly recommend. I also got the red sangria which was tasty. Great meal. And would definitely come back if I have the opportunity when visiting San Juan.

We found many recommendations to dine here, so made reservations for dinner. The ambiance is nice, but also casual. The outdoor patio seems nicer, but we were seated indoors. To start off, we had some complimentary fried cod and plantain soup, which were both great. We also ordered the Queso Fritos ($14), which are fried cheese cubes topped with starfruit. They were good, but not as great as we've had them elsewhere. As for the main entree, I had the Cabrito ($32) while the fiancé had the Churrasco ($38). The cabrito is a slow braised goat, which was so flavorful and tender. I'm not usually a fan of beans, but the beans it came with were delicious over the rice. The churrasco is a skirt steak that was cooked perfectly too paired with Puerto Rican rice. This rice was delicious and I wish I could've upgraded the plain rice to this. We also paired all the food with some cocktails as I had the Spicy Nancy ($13); their take on a spicy Margarita. The Old Fashioned ($14) is a classic here. Overall, the food was good and ambiance was nice. The service wasn't as attentive as I hope, especially as we were celebrating a special occasion. It's a nice spot for a meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way here as we did take an Uber to get to this restaurant.

I wasn't impressed with this place. The atmosphere was nice, but not stunning. The service was slow, we had to wait 20 minutes in the lobby, even though we had a reservation. The food was so so. The steak lacked flavor and the soup had bones in it.

WOW!!! Food in this place was amazing. I definitely have to say that this was the best meal we had while visiting San Juan. We ordered the Churrasco, medium, and it was cooked perfectly, it was tender and juicy, had the flavor as if cooked over firewood. The order comes with rice and beans which were delicious. The 2nd plate was Bistec encebollado, which comes with white rice and beans. The steak had white onions and pickles red onions and it was tasty as well, but I preferred the Churrasco. For dessert we ordered the coquito tres leaches cake and flan quesillo, both were incredibly tasty. Service was excellent, our waiter was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is on an old Spanish house with beautiful decor, large windows and great atmosphere. I will definitely make this a stop next time in San Juan.

If you're visiting San Juan and looking for a great dinner spot in the Miramar neighborhood, this place is well worth it. Really unique interior with lots of separate rooms for dining, and the food was great. Highly recommend the bistec, their take on chicken schnitzel, and the avocado. They even brought us a plantain soup on the house as an app (we weren't sure what to expect but turned out to be very good).

Very beautiful place, it was the restaurant we ate at while visiting San Juan. Customer service was amazing we were seated immediately and served quickly. The food was truly delicious and authentic.

Recommend by a local friend said "a must go if you only stay here one night". So we went there. 40 mins waiting time but the waitress was really nice to try to get our table quicker. It's a very special restaurant which seems like converted from a house. Every table was uniquely designed and it's pretty cute. We ordered a pitcher of passion fruit sangria, flavor wise was great but not enough liquor in it tbh. They also sent us some local appetizers which are very tasty. I must say their skirt steak was AWESOME! My friend ordered it and I tried a bit--very tender and juicy! I ordered the goat stew, which was also really good, but it's very large amount of food. Overall very good experience. Will come back again!

Amazing food and service! Our waitress, who was deaf, warmly introduced herself and made sure we were comfortable right from the start. She was absolutely fantastic and attentive throughout. The complimentary plantain soup and bacalaitos were delicious.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! I was sitting down and telling my friends how much I was craving a warm soup and seconds later their complimentary sopa de platano with bacalaitos is served! An amazing and delicious surprise! The bistec encebollado and churrasco were my favorite dishes.

Casita Miramar is old school fine dining that takes traditional Puerto Rican dishes and elevates them. Simple, classy, straight to the point. My partner and I arrived and were seated in a little nook at a red table-clothed two seater. Even though we didn't exactly have a private space, the separation gave the space a sort of romantic vibe. Service was attentive and hospitable. To start, we were given complimentary soup (I think it was made from beans) and a cod fritter. Both of these starters were great. Then we ordered the alcapurria, pastelillo, buñuelos, and cleon's snack. The alcapurria was hands down the best alcapurria I've ever had and the buñuelos were a balanced slightly sweet and savory bite. We could've went without the pastelillo (which I found to be on the dryer side) and cleon's snack (which was average but we felt the need to balance out all the fried appetizers). The goat stew entree was delicious with the house made hot sauce and the goat was flavorful and tender. My partner said it reminded him of his grandma's cooking which meant it was the authentic stuff. The steak was good but not memorable. Even though we were really full at this point we were glad we made room for dessert because the tres leches was amazing. It's tied first with one of the tres leches I had at a Mexican spot. To finish, we were given mini espresso liquor shots that were light and nutty. Overall, Casita Miramar did a great job elevating traditional Puerto Rican food and the service was great. I would've tried Casita Miramar's sister restaurant La Casita Blanca since Casita Miramar was great, but that's for next time.

Word of advice --- make a reservation. You most likely will not get in without one. I usually don't make them, but the occasions were important so I made sure to have one so we wouldn't have any unexpected ordeals. The place has an outstanding entrance with a fountain, and you want to make sure you go up the left staircase to check in with the hostess. The restaurant looks really small, but the truth is that it's sectioned off in quite an interesting manner. If you're sitting at the front, it might take you a minute to find the bathrooms, but they exist and there's a separate one for men and women and they aren't right next to each other. Anyways, the menu had so many interesting options. Initially I wanted pumpkin rice, but when I found out the fish of the day was swordfish... I had to do it. And I'm so glad I did. Swordfish is just a delicious fish, and I think it's my favorite! The garlic fries I picked on the side were delightfully garlicky, and just a bonus as the fries themselves were crispy and well-made. My friend had a salad he couldn't finish, and the leftovers were fantastic. If adjacent tables got loud, it could get tricky to hear each other, but this is truly a nice classier restaurant for special occasions. Staff were really friendly too. And again, make a reservation!

I went to dinner during a bachelorette party where we all dressed as grannies. The food was amazing; everything we ordered tasted authentic and full of flavor. They also sell their own hot sauce, which is not too spicy. The service was excellent, and the staff was very accommodating to everyone's questions about different cuisines and preferences.

La comida deliciosa, pero en verdad lo que nos captivó fue nuestra mesera, Aalyah. Su personalidad, su energia, sus recomendaciones -- no podemos complementarla más. Volveríamos mil veces más solo para pasarla con ella. Aalyah, gracias!! El ambiente super lindo, definitivamente lo recomendamos. Sugerencias de comida: croquetas, sea salad, arroz con mariscos. Tres leches y flan de queso. Bebidas: spicy nancy y carajillo.

I made reservations for a birthday dinner, I should have turned around because the host asked what was the reservation for despite booking and marked birthday. Also still had to wait for a table despite the reservations. Requested to sit in the patio - wrong choice Food: 7/10 I could have gotten a better fish, tasted alright, the hot sauce added the needed kick And this is where the good ends.... Ambiance: while this is a nice spot the lacking aspect of service contributes to a poor experience Service: 2/10 They asked if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions. I said I cannot eat pork.. beans comes out w/ pork Only for one server for the area but there was no attention from having to constantly request water to drinks taking forever we had to remind the server that we never got the drinks. The service is piss poor and they couldn't care because the main dinning room was packed.

We had a wonderful meal at Casita Miramar. We just happened upon it and based on the reviews decided to stop in. Our waiter Geoffrey was spot on and gave good descriptions and suggestions on menu items. I had the Pastelon ( Puerto Rican lasagne) and my husband the snapper. Both were delicious and definitely the best meal we have had in Puerto Rico! I am now a fan of Puerto Rican food! Creative entrees and excellent service (the hostess staff was also outstanding ) definitely an do not miss while in San Juan!

This place was very cute - set in an old mansion so many rooms with different feels. Great service. Homestyle local food, well prepared and generous servings. Must reserve.

Food and service were amazing! 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a cute dinner spot. We went for my birthday dinner.

This was probably my favorite restaurant on my entire trip to Puerto Rico. It was HUGE and each room has a different vibe/decorations. There was ton of cute picture opportunity spots and private rooms for large parties. My friend booked us a private room and got them to put a big red velvet throne chair at the head of the table for me for my birthday. I will say, I despised our server, but other than that everything was great. Food and drinks were both good! Would definitely recommend.

Incredible. Simply incredible. I'll start out with the only negative part of our experience. We were told they don't take reservations but upon arrival we were asked if we had reservations ??? Of course we didn't. Thankfully they were able to accommodate us within 30 minutes or so - and I'm so glad we got to dine there! It's a beautiful building inside and out. Feels very high end and moody. They start you off with complimentary soup and fish bites - sooo good and I don't even like fish! I forget what app we ordered but it came with their hot sauce which is also good. For dinner I had the carnitas and it was phenomenal! The portion was huge so I had to take some home. After dinner they provided us with a complimentary shot - picture a martini espresso shot. Also a nice treat! All in all I would love to return next time we're in PR but I highly recommend calling to make reservations because after us everyone else was turned away.

Made reservations here for my mother's 61st, and I am so glad that we did! The hostess and waiters were so accommodating, and even though we hardly spoke the language, they helped us with every aspect of our meal and made recommendations on other things to try. For our starter, the restaurant provides you with a soup and fish cakes to try- completely free! We inhaled both, and were so excited to try our main courses. My mom ordered the skirt steak, and please don't let the photos fool you- the portion was HUGE! They actually folded it in half, so you got way more than you thought. The flavor was absolutely delicious; it didn't need a single thing! My mother commented that it was tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. I ordered the house fish with chopped greens, and plantains. So delicious, especially with the sauce! At the end of the meal, you are brought a complimentary shot. I can't remember what it was, but it was a PR specialty, and tasted a bit like black licorice. My mom wasn't a fan, and I wasn't either. But it was alcohol so I downed both shots! LOL This is on my list of must visit place's whenever I'm on the island!

Easily one of my top three favorite spots while in Puerto Rico. Which is hard because the food has been really good everywhere! They have all the things I look for in a restaurant. Great music, flavorful food, stellar decor, and great service. Jeffery was our waiter and I could tell by the way he interacted with us and other guests that he was a beast at his job. He's mastered the art of moving with urgency but not making you feel rushed. He started us off with complimentary fish fritters and plantain soup. That got our taste buds excited for the rest of the night! For drinks I had the El Conflicto (Jeffreys suggestion) and my boyfriend had the Casita Rum Fashion. They were both well made. I was honestly surprised on how refreshing the El Conflicto was! I wasn't sure I would like the coconut cream and coconut water, but they complimented each other well. For appetizers, we tried the Fried Cheese. I don't even have the words to explain how good this was. I honestly could have just eaten this all night. We also had their Cleon's Snack because my boyfriend is a huge fan of yellowfin tuna and I love avocado. The pairing of spices for this dish were delicious. At this point, I didn't have any room for my actual meal! For the main course, the Drunken Chicken caught my eye and Jefferey our waiter signed off on it so I went with it. It came with a side and he suggested the beans and rice. They were all very flavorful but I was stuffed from the appetizers. So I took my meal home. After my boyfriend stole several bites of course. lol. He had the Local Catch (Grouper Filet) and Breadfruit Tostones. Like I said EVERY part of this meal was amazing from start to finish. Jefferey even added complimentary shots at the end because we were too full to get dessert. 10/10 highly recommend!!!!

Nice cozy little spot. We were seated immediately and within 10 minutes the place was packed with customers. Service we received was excellent. The waitress was friendly, explained everything from the free soup, free bacalaitos, free liquor shots and other items on the menu. I have food restrictions and she went to ask the chef about ingredients. Food was so delicious!! Will definitely go back.

This was my very first restaurant in Puerto Rico back in 2019 and my introduction to mofongo. I have gone to here again 5 years later. The layout of the restaurant makes you feel totally at home and so do the many authentic comfort foods they serve. When I went for lunch, parking was manageable but if you are going for dinner especially during weekends, just uber or use their valet. The streets in this area are really narrow. The service does take time and it is a popular restaurant so don't expect a quick dinner and leave.

Very cute restaurant. Attentive and kind staff. Food was disappointing, though. For the apps, we ordered BUÑUELOS, ALCAPURRIA, and HUMMUS. Definitely recommend the buñuelos - the sauce that it comes with is really tasty. Skip the others. For the entrees, we ordered the CONFIT PORK & SMOKED PORK DUO, FRIED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL, and the DRUNKEN CHICKEN. I would skip on the schnitzel - it was dry, even with the sauce. The other two dishes had tender meat, but the flavor just was lacking. For dessert, we all shared the FLANCOCHO. Definitely recommend this sweet treat. Lots of mosquitos! The staff was kind enough to bring us some bug spray, but by that time, we were already itching like crazy. This place came highly recommended, but it didn't meet the expectations and hype. Don't think we'll be returning as there were so many other restaurants that we wanted to try on this trip.

Una experiencia muy positiva y sobre todo deliciosa; la sangría roja muy refrescante, la paella riquísima y al final un fornicadetto con café. Ambiente familiar y agradable, aún sin tener reservación fuimos atendidos excelente por Gabriel. Recomendable, Gracias por otro recuerdo lindo de mi país.

Some of the best Puerto Rican cuisine but also I left so satisfied. We had a welcome appetizer and we shared two apps, the requesón was absolutely amazing and the queso frito was great. I order the pastelón and this was incredible. I made to sure to check other yelp reviews and this one lived up to the hype. I would highly recommend it. The cocktails were great too! I got the jobito mocktail while my friends got cocktails--all very enjoyable and refreshing. Would recommend this restaurant! Service was also surprisingly great (PR for my experience had slow service) and the ambiance was just like a house (hence "casita").
