lala Puerto Rico

Great food and service. Food came out very slow however. The drinks were good! The lamb was perfectly cooked as requested medium but could have used a little bit more salt and it took like 30+ minutes to come out. The crispy skin salmon was perfect as well. Crispy rice my favorite! Oyster flight is good too.

This place was magical for it to be even someone famous restaurant. What makes it special it’s Bad Bunny’s restaurant, but it gave chill very beach vibes with the touch of elegance. But what really got me loving the place was the food, wasn’t expecting it to be as delicious as it was. Recommending the following: 1. Asian Salad: amazing!! With bits of chicharrón soooo delicious and crispy 2. Crispy rice sushi 3. Gyoza-melted cheese with chives and bacon with a flat crisp, beef not my favorite but it was good. 4. Shrimp tempura- crisped with perfection with fresh shrimp 5. Ribeye steak medium rare, juicy, and flavorful 6. Spicy rigatoni- good 7. Mash potatoes- very cheese and elástico 8. Shisito peppers 9. Creamy spinach The Service- very good Guillermo was great! He treated us amazing, making sure our table was cleared before the next dish, shared with recommendations and lots of attention For Drinks- Bembe was delicious and lightly vodka (for those who enjoy vodka)

Our experience at lala was amazing, a true food journey of different flavors. We tried multiple appetizers to enjoy different dishes including the Salmon tare tare, Hamachi nigiri, and Burrata, all various cuisines that mixed well with our drinks. Our server, Bruce, helped us pick out his recommendations in food and in drinks. I say get Bruce’s favorite drink “Jelga”, a mix of whiskey and roasted pumpkin. Ambience and service was great too! Come here with family to enjoy some classy gastronomy.

Highly recommend making reservations because this place seems to stay pretty busy, but I can see why! The interior is so beautiful and perfect for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. Our server was pretty attentive at the beginning of service, but a little less towards the end but he was very nice. I ordered the lalalandia which is recommend to any lavender lovers, very smooth! Oh my gosh the Pan Fried Gyoza was INCREDIBLE, such a different flavor profile than I've ever had with Gyoza 12/10! The Crispy Rice was really good, the tuna was so fresh, but my only complaint was that I'm not crazy about the batter they used to fry the rice. Other than that, so good and fresh 9/10! My boyfriend ordered the Wellington and wow, incredible I love the sauce they used. Such a beautifully balanced dish 10/10. I got the Shortrib Tortellini and so, so good another 10/10. Overall I'd highly recommend Lala, it's an entire experience from start to finish.

All the hype and excitement ended up in pure mediocrity. Getting a reservation to this place is rather difficult but luckily we arrived minutes before they opened and was placed on their list for counter top service. The menu is extremely limited and offers an array of Asian and Italian dishes with no hints of Puerto Rican or Caribbean cuisine. The food was nonetheless good however the prices did not match the quality of experience. Our waiter was extremely friendly and nice but we did have to flag him a few times.

We enjoyed the restaurant and thought it was a lovely date spot. The decor was really nice. It was a bit pricey and my chicken was a little too salty for my taste, but overall food was good.

Dining at La La Puerto Rico was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the service truly stood out. Our server, Angelo, was exceptional, patient, attentive, and incredibly informative about the menu. He took the time to walk us through the dishes, offering helpful recommendations without ever making us feel rushed. The level of detail in the service was truly five-star. Every element, from the timing to the presentation, was executed with care and professionalism. You can tell that excellence is a standard here, not just a goal. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both quality food and top-tier service, La La is a must-visit. Angelo and the entire team made our experience unforgettable.

LaLa is more like NoNo don’t. We made a reservation a month in advance, our group was larger, we were 7 people so we got the a couple of minutes beforehand. It took them 30 minutes after our reservation time to seat us and we had to stand by the entrance while we waited. For a fine dining restaurant this was a huge let down, No apologies from host staff regarding the situation. It was Friday night so it was busy but they should manage better or have a waiting area. Then when we were seated, our server was nice but also the drinks were very slow and we had to wait almost an hour for our food, again no explanations about the delay. The food was great and it was the only highlight of the night. The women’s bathroom had only one working stall and it was dirty. We kept asking for check and our waiter took so long I had to get up to find another staff to help me. Spoke to the manager, he did not have anything to say about the wait and just quitely said sorry and left. It was very odd. There are other nice restaurants in PR, don’t bother with this experience for the price it’s definitely not worth it.

Ngl I came in pretty skeptical since celeb restaurants aren't usually that good. The drinks were decent, the nigiri wasn't really worth coming back for and the bartender wasn't really attentive as you would like him to be. I get it he is focused on prep work but at least double check how I'm doing? If I need anything? Or want another drink after asking him which ones he recommends. Ya know the standard steps of service. but let me tell you about that oyster flight? Damn that shit was delicious. Like honestly some of the best oysters I've ever had and I eat oysters all the time. I'll be coming back later tonight to try out the rest of their menu

Lala es un restaurante hermoso y las vibras son impecables, pero la comida está sobrevalorada y cara. Para empezar, el crispy tuna rice estaba demasiado crujiente--básicamente quemado--y era difícil de masticar. El atún estaba bueno, pero no fue agradable comerlo con el arroz quemado. El tempura de camarón estuvo pasable, pero muy aceitoso. El pan focaccia estaba denso en lugar de ser ligero y esponjoso como debería ser. La pasta con vodka picante tenía buen sabor, pero he probado mejores, y estaba tan picante que dejó de ser disfrutable. Lo mejor de la comida fue el tres leches de coco, pero ni siquiera fue el mejor que probamos en la isla. En general, aunque el ambiente es precioso, gastamos más de $200 en una comida mediocre que no valió la pena. Lala is a beautiful restaurant and the vibes are immaculate, but the food is overhyped and overpriced. To start, the crispy tuna rice was extra crispy--basically burnt--which made it hard to chew through. The tuna itself was good, but it wasn't enjoyable paired with the burnt rice. The shrimp tempura was just okay, but very oily. The focaccia bread was dense instead of being light and fluffy the way focaccia should be. The spicy vodka pasta had decent flavor, but I've definitely had better, and it was so spicy that it wasn't enjoyable. The best part of the meal was the coconut tres leches, but even then, it wasn't the best we had on the island. Overall, while the atmosphere is stunning, we spent over $200 on a mediocre meal that just wasn't worth it.

Joel was our server and he was amazing . Thank you for explaining and clarifying any concerns you made my experience amazing . I definitely recommend! Ambiance is new and modern. Food was great thanks to Joel's recommendations . Thank you Joel ' can't wait to upload more pictures for our first time . Joel's thank you for informing and being so attentive.

Beautiful decor, awesome drinks, the food was delicious as well. Plenty of tables and a private area. We had a large group and they were able to accommodate without any issues. Perfect for a date. I loved it!!!

Lala was soooo chic and special for all the bad bunny lovers out there. There's so many Easter eggs. Everyone was so attentive and the food was delicious. They gave recommendations based on what you liked. It's pricey but worth the experience at least once. Reservations are a must for ease.

Overall, I had an amazing birthday dinner at Lala and would definitely come back! The restaurant is gorgeous inside, which ambient lighting, a huge bar, and a DJ that comes out as it gets later. I started with an espresso martini, which was expensive, but one of the best espresso martinis I have had. The menu highlights a wide variety of cuisines from sushi to French food to Italian pastas. Everything we ordered was delicious with some of the highlights being the burrata and the spicy vodka rigatoni. They even gave us a private room for our larger party and let us connect to the sound system, which is a testament to how awesome their service was. Only deducting one star because the food took almost 2 hours to come out, but our server was super great and very apologetic.

It's just unreal. I ordered the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. This was an absolute delicacy. 20/10 They encapsulated the taste of sweet street elote into a cheese filled pasta. It has goat cheese inside without having that overbearing flavor that goat cheese sometimes has. I'm sad to fly back to California & not have the option to have this dish again. The moment I ate my first bite it was an explosion of flavors. No doubt that if I ever return to San Juan I will come back here. Great work Lala. Fabian was our server & he was an angel! He gave us great recs & positive energy. love him.

My friends and family and I came here for dinner on our girls trip and the inside of the restaurant was beautiful. We had great service and the food was super fresh and delicious. I think the all across the board favorites were the tempura shrimp, Crispy Rice, and the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. For dessert, we couldn't decide between the tres leches and the Berries and Cream so we got both. The Berries and Cream was soooo refreshing and definitely a great end to a good meal and the tres leches was my absolute favoriteee!

Whenever you find yourself in San Juan Puerto Rico find your way over the lala located in San Juan Mall!! This large, elegantly appointed and luxurious space is serving up some of the tastiest and most innovative dishes around the island. We did not have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us at the bar which was spacious and lush! We ordered a beautiful Cabernet and the Burrata appetizer....then it arrived. Most of us have had burrata, but I can assure you never like this!!! Of course the burrata was fresh, heirloom tomatoes perfectly ripe...parmesan crisp, rich and crunchy but then there was the TOMATO SORBET..OMG...WOW...this was true FLAVOR-PACKED PERFECTION!! It was like one of those things you would never think a dish needed and then you try it and realize all other preparations were lacking. An absolute STUNNER!! My entree was up next.. the Spicy Rigatoni with Shrimp. Truth be told I am not a big pasta eater but once in a while, I go for it. I cannot express how thankful I am that I had that desire at Lala!!! What arrived at the table was art! A boldly colored rich tomato sauce enveloping perfectly cooked rigatoni studded by canelles of fresh creamy stracciatella with basil and plump, juicy shrimp finished with toasted lemon breadctumbs. As beautiful as the presentation was it could not hold a candle to the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING flavor of this dish!! The spices were intricately nuanced and created a balanced infusion of heat within the rich, sweet tomato gravy. I will go out on a limb and say this is the best pasta dish I have ever had in my life ..and I have had many living in NYC and visiting Italy several times Last up we tried a few desserts...a Banana Bread Pudding and a luscious Coconut Ice Cream. The bread pudding was supple and delicious,and brilliantly garnished in gold..it was not overly sweet but certainly satisfying of a sweet tooth. The coconut ice cream was garnished with a toasted fresh coconut crumble and was a truly delightful bite that truly encapsulated and exclaimed the island vacation experience. The menu at lala has so many gems to be excavated and indulged in...do not miss all this jewel has to offer!!

Lala is the Bad Bunny owned restaurant. The service was the highlight for me honestly. They were attending to us like if we were at a Michelin restaurant. We got up and they adjusted our napkins and chair for when we returned. My hates off to the team! The design of the place is cool and modern. The only place where it didn't land for me was the food. While it wasn't bad by any means at all, it is quite the premium you are paying for some dishes that left a bit to be desired. The salmon was excellent but some of the appetizers we had felt like they should have been either more adventurous or just better tasting. We spent a lot and for the novel it was fun I would go again.

BIG SPENDER$ One of Puerto Rico's classiest restaurants is a sizeable splurge. My wife and I always go out for a fancy date night when visiting her family in the Caribbean. On our most recent trip to PR for New Years' 2024, we chose Lala as our destination de jour, having followed them on Instagram for many months. Lala sits at the north end of the Mall of San Juan and valet parking is advised. It was busy when we arrived around 7pm and got our drink orders in shortly after being seated. I loved the mezcal bramble ($19), a potent cocktail with a wonderfully smoky flavor profile, muddled berries and mint sprig. They also had non-alcoholic cocktails for $12. Lala has a separate menu for their raw bar, which had lavish offerings. My wife got a half dozen oysters (6pc for $32)--one each with lemon, tropical granita, passion fruit mignonette, tomatillo & bacon, nampla & papaya, and tomato XO with ponzu gelee. I'm not into bivalves, but I trust my wife's opinion that they were "phenomenal". If you're particularly affluent (or just feeling rich for a day), you can add 1oz of Siberian Sturgeon caviar ($130) or Royal Ossetra caviar ($220) to your dining experience. I'm pretty sure I saw shaved black truffle as an option, too. The Ora King Salmon nigiri (2pc for $8) was brushed with a sweet miso mustard and topped with scallions. The crispy rice (5pc for $18) were delicious oval rice cakes with spicy tuna tartare, mirin and chives. We also got the Hamachi crudo ($24), sashimi-style yellowtail with roasted pineapple, avocado, radish, and jalapeno. My wife got the dayboat scallops ($40) served with cauliflower, crispy leeks, bacon-sherry vinaigrette and parsley oil. They were cooked perfectly with tasteful accompaniments. The swordfish schnitzel ($32) was an alternative take on a classic cutlet which came with a lightly dressed arugula and fennel salad. The creamed spinach ($10) was mediocre, the only weak link in an otherwise terrific meal. Bread = 5 Circuses = 4.5 Desserts were $14, aside from the boozy Amaretto affogato which was $18. Their tres leches was of the highest caliber: a coconut cake soaked in coquito (an eggnog-like specialty from the island), served with a mascarpone Chantilly and toasted merengue. The atmosphere is intimate and beautiful. It's connected to the Mall of San Juan, so you'll see a few diners dressed casually but spruce up if you're planning to eat here. Our server was fine, however there was a long gap between dinner and dessert where we had trouble tracking him down. My biggest hangup is that Lala charges for water. I'm no stranger to this practice, having encountered it at Michelin-starred restaurants like Chicago's Sepia, Next, and a few others, but Lala hit us with charges for REFILLS. That was absurd and something I would've protested had I not been in a medicine-induced haze all night. This wasn't VOSS or Perrier, either, I'm talking standard table water in a clear glass bottle. When our waiter asked if we wanted "flat or sparkling", I should've known that bullshit would rear its ugly head on the final tab. * TL;DR * Lala is one of the finest restaurants on the island, but get ready for a potentially eye-watering bill. For those planning on making a reservation here, be prepared to shell out upwards of $250 on dinner for two, though perhaps that should be expected from a place co-owned by *THE* Bad Bunny and run by award-winning chef Guillermo López (formerly of New York's famous Le Bernardin, where a meal costs a small fortune). I held off on posting this review for a long time as I couldn't decide whether or not Lala was too pretentious. Ultimately, I decided that while the high cost deters me from returning, I'd still recommend them. The food was outstanding and the vibes were great. Service was generally attentive but the water thing was awfully sneaky. Getting dinged not once, but twice for basic water was a 'WTF' moment of ritzy nonsense. I considered docking them a star for this outlandish tactic, but as the meal itself and overall experience was delightful, I'll still give them the full "cinco estrellas".

This Bad Bunny restaurant is trash other than good service. The food is tiny and served on big plates for no reason. Everything tasted mediocre. Even the drinks were subpar. We ordered a ceviche and sashimi not impressed at all. Then we got the Beef Wellington and Short Rib tortellini as our mains once again severely disappointing. It ended up being a $500+ bill and we were not happy. If you are in Puerto Rico skip this spot. I do not recommend. If anything check Mar y Rosa in Old San Juan instead. Avoid Lala if you can.

10/10 food. Aesthetically pleasing service was very good. We had the tomahawk steak which was nice and flavorful. We also had the chicken and also the tortellini pasta drinks were very good. We tried bad bunnies favorite drink and that was really good. We are definitely coming back.

Such a pleasure to have been able to dine here. Tried many things from the menu and they were all delicious. Our server was so kind, she made the experience so much better walking us through the menu and giving recommendations. The restaurant itself is gorgeous- the floral arrangements placed around were mesmerizing. Highlights were the burrata, ravioli, and rigatoni. And the espresso martini

The ambiance of this restaurant is the main selling point. Definitely worth a visit if you're a support of Bad Bunny, other than that, the food was lackluster and overpriced especially considering the portions. We got there 3 hours before close and they were still out of many menu items, and did not let us know until we were already well into eating our other entrees. The drinks are good.

I along with many tourists visiting Puerto Rico for Bad Bunny's epic DTmF residency visited this restaurant because it is co-owned by him. It has a rustic yet modern decor with wooden cylinders from the ceiling apparently depicting the topography of Puerto Rico. The service is very courteous and attentive in the beginning, but then becomes more sporadic towards the middle and end. The cocktail menu is very interesting in theory, incorporating many inventive ingredients to represent Puerto Rican heritage but the execution is inconsistent. The 100x35 cocktail had very little actual drink in it, although the presentation was flashy. Standout menu items crafted with flavor and finesse included the hamachi sashimi al pastor with mezcal roasted pineapple, the dulce de lechoza y queso croquettes, the French onion escargot gratin with crunchy baguette, and the consommé with pork broth and shrimp mofongo. The swordfish schnitzel was tasty. The duck breast tasted gamey but was plated nicely with a beet purée. Overall overpriced but a strong representation of contemporary Puerto Rican cuisine.

The food here was ok, the portions were decent but I left still feeling hungry. The drinks were fine but a bit overpriced of you ask me. Like many people there, we went for the name and experience so the vibes were what one would expect, love light, music, slower service...probably wouldn't come back unless someone really had their heart set on eating here, otherwise there are more cost efficient restaurants nearby that id go to over this.

We had reservations at 5:00pm on a Sunday night. The restaurant was pretty busy but still had a few empty tables. We waited about 10 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. The ambiance is chic and elegant. There are 2 bars (one on the left and one on the right hand side of the restaurant) We started with 2 cocktails (Ahumado de Mejor and an Aperol Spritz). Both drinks took forever to come out. Our appetizer actually arrived before our drinks did. The Pan de Jardín was absolutely delicious! Very flavorful! For dinner, I had the Ricotta Cavatelli with chicken and it was superb! Found it slightly odd that the chicken was on a separate plate but it worked out in the end because I got to try it alone and it was cooked to perfection! The pasta was so flavorful and not too heavy. I loved every bite! The Spicy Vodka Rigatoni was also very flavorful with a slight kick. I would definitely come back to Lala in the future, however, don't make plans for afterward because they are sooooo slow! And don't forget to check out their awesome bathroom mirror (ladies room)!

Lala is gorgeous! We had a great experience with 5 girls for a bachelorette party. We were not the only party! The music is fun. Our server Carlos was super sweet and very helpful on the menu and all of the questions we had! Great drink recommendations! The ghost pepper drink was great with the perfect touch of spice. The food.... Was... amazing... every thing that came out! I went the sushi route and don't regret it. No added sauce needed. My friend's branzino was probably my favorite! They have the food down!! It was a little bummer when checks couldn't be split and only could use 4 cards to be divided especially using a system that I'm very familiar with and I know is possible and soo easy to have added the 5th. But, all is good. Great experience overall!

Highly recommend making reservations because this place seems to stay pretty busy, but I can see why! The interior is so beautiful and perfect for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. Our server was pretty attentive at the beginning of service, but a little less towards the end but he was very nice. I ordered the lalalandia which is recommend to any lavender lovers, very smooth! Oh my gosh the Pan Fried Gyoza was INCREDIBLE, such a different flavor profile than I've ever had with Gyoza 12/10! The Crispy Rice was really good, the tuna was so fresh, but my only complaint was that I'm not crazy about the batter they used to fry the rice. Other than that, so good and fresh 9/10! My boyfriend ordered the Wellington and wow, incredible I love the sauce they used. Such a beautifully balanced dish 10/10. I got the Shortrib Tortellini and so, so good another 10/10. Overall I'd highly recommend Lala, it's an entire experience from start to finish.

Lala was so good I had to go back twice in one week. It's an amazing blend of food from pasta to steak with a little bit of Hispanic touch. The service was amazing and every plate we had was delicious. The drinks were really good and I celebrated my anniversary dinner here the second time I visited because I loved it so much the first time. The ambience was very upscale/trendy but not in a bad way. I would definitely recommend and I can't wait to go back the next time. I'm in Puerto Rico. The only downside is that the valet parking cannot be validated at the restaurant, but nothing against them for it.

Absolutely love the food there! We were seated right away. Once we went to the host. Immediately. They came out, asking what type of water that we wanted, and if we were ready to order drinks. The vibe was very moody and elegant. You can definitely pop in for a casual lunch, however, dinner is a little bit more nicely dressed.

Me and my girlfriend went on our anniversary and the way that they catered to us because of it was so cute. The food was extremely delicious the decor was great and the dessert was amazing and they even wrote happy anniversary on it!

Reading the reviews I was expecting service to be slow, and it truly is. Not sure why because it was not crowed at all. Between us we all got something different. The A5 Wagyu was not good. It lacked flavor (usually this type of meat speaks for its self) but not in this case. Everything else was great! But for my first drink I was served half a drink and then the rest of my drinks came filled. Overall it was ok. I'm glad I tried it out but I won't be coming back . Especially not for a $700 bill

The food here is always stellar each time, with the blend of creative, modern American cuisine and traditional Puerto Rican ingredients. I would objectively say this is the best place for sushi on the island with top-tier raw bar quality. This is also known as Bad Bunny's restaurant, established since before he announced his Puerto Rican residency. I come here each time a new friend visits or for special occasions. There service can be a little slow, but it's not out of the norm for island time and the staff are usually very friendly.

Honestly, this was a completely underwhelming experience. When we first arrived, we were greeted by two servers - cool. Subsequently, we ordered and received our drinks pretty quickly so that was good. Once we received our food, it was COLD. Two out of the three of us received cold food and made mention of it. We mentioned to the waitstaff and nothing was done or even offered to remedy that. Additionally, I had placed an order for spinach, which was forgotten about and when I mentioned it again, it was brought over to me, which was also cold. We spoke to the manager who wasn't apologetic and he offered us dessert, which at that point we were so turned off we were ready to leave. What a disappointment.

Will not return or recommend. Employees here feel entitled, and give you attitude. The Bad: - Host Alondra I believe it's her name. Very rude, dry and entitled. -Manager seems to be ran by Alondra. - Lady who fills the glasses with water seemed to be bothered she had to work and bring sparkling water to the table. Asked for a drink menu and waiting over 20min and asked 2x. THE GOOD: - our server Jonathan was so welcoming and tried his best to fix the night. - Food was really tasty. -Drinks were made yummy. It's unfortunate that such a beautiful establishment had poor service and attitudes. This was a big surprise being treated so poorly.

Great experience!! Highly recommend. Went to celebrate my sisters 30th and everything ordered was superb. Bad Bunny you did your big one here.

Celebrated my girlfriend's birthday here and overall had a really nice experience. It's definitely a high-end dining spot, and the food mostly lived up to that. We had a steak that was cooked perfectly -- probably one of the highlights of the night. The vodka pasta was also excellent -- creamy, rich, and flavorful. We tried a few appetizers, and they were all very good. One of the pastas had sweet corn inside, which I wasn't expecting, but it turned out to be incredibly delicious -- definitely a standout dish. Now for the few downsides: the tostones (fried plantains) were a bit overdone -- honestly, they were hard as rocks, which made them nearly impossible to enjoy. Also, the chicken was quite chewy and felt like it might have been undercooked or just not prepared well. Service was decent -- nothing over-the-top or overly attentive, but still fair and professional. Overall, a great night with only a couple of hiccups. I'd definitely come back, especially for the steak and pastas

Booked a 7pm Sunday reservation for a birthday dinner. The ambiance and decor was beautiful. I was solo, so they sat me at the bar. Almost all of the tables were filled so there was a good crowd. I ordered a mocktail, can't remember the name it gave mojito vibes and it was delicious. For an appetizer I ordered the sticky rice which had a slight spicy kick to it. The entree was the scallops. Both were phenomenal, prepared to perfection. The scallops were breaking apart with the fork! I got the Tres Leches to go, first time trying it and it didn't not disappoint. A lot of reviews say the service was slow, as a New Yorker with zero patience I have nothing bad to say about the service. I thought it was good.

Celebrity restaurants are a tricky proposition and most of them end up being tourist traps serving expensive food. Bad Bunny's Lala has an impressive pedigree as far as the chef he poached from Le Bernardin (if you know, you know!), the cocktail selection is good, very cool ambience, the service is also good. Now, is the food worth it? On my first visit with my wife and relatives, yes. One of my relatives has come regularly and she enjoys it, but your experience might differ from mine. We were very pleased with the food and the service, but you pay for all the nice things, so be aware of that.

Wow. I came here with my bachelorette party to celebrate my birthday. We started off with cocktails. I have to recommend the Lalalandia. Our waiter warned us that since the kitchen is busy, they take app and entree orders at once and bring them out accordingly. I started with the pan-fried gyoza. I could've spent the rest of the night eating only those. Absolutely delicious! The sauce it came with was so flavorful. The staff were incredibly attentive. I dropped a napkin and before I could reach, someone picked it up and folded it for me. It did take a while between apps and the main course but the food was well worth the wait. The spicy rigatoni was out of this world. I also had grilled chicken on the side. So juicy and flavorful. If you're looking for a romantic date night or celebration location, look no further!

It was okay. Good service. Overhyped. Save your money. Drinks were good, a lot of people RAVE about this restaurant so maybe it's on me for having such high expectations... but I just don't think the food is worth such a high price despite the nice ambience and friendly waiter. His name was Joel. We had appetizers and decided we were satisfied so didn't get any entrees, but it's worth mentioning that this is the strangest bruschetta i've ever had.. was hard as rock.. and tomatoes were spicy? Won't be returning but I'm glad to finally have gone..

Highly recommend! Food, drinks, service, ambiance were all amazing! Will definitely be returning!

Location & Atmosphere Located slightly outside the capital in a sleek mall setting, Lala delivers an upscale city vibe that's modern, moody, and effortlessly cool. With its dark yet warm tones, the ambiance could easily transition into a stylish lounge or nightclub. It's the perfect spot for a night out with good food and even better energy. Food & Drinks We started off with a few nagiri: yellowtail, tuna, and salmon--all incredibly fresh with subtly different flavor profiles that stood out in every bite. The crispy rice with tuna was flavorful and balanced, though the rice itself was a bit too crunchy for my liking--it felt slightly overcooked and hard to bite into. I also ordered the crispy salmon skin dish, which was phenomenal--perfectly crisped skin paired with melt-in-your-mouth, medium-rare salmon and a tangy sauce that brought it all together. My friend had the swordfish and spicy ricotta pasta, which came in a generous portion and packed a real kick for spice lovers. To end the night, we had the tres leches--easily one of the best I've ever had. Light, fluffy, and topped with delicate meringue, it was the perfect sweet finish. ‍ Service & Hospitality Service was warm, professional, and attentive from start to finish. The staff made sure we had everything we needed without hovering too much, which added to the relaxed yet upscale dining experience. Unique Selling Point Lala blends elevated dining with a vibrant, nightlife-ready atmosphere. With beautifully plated dishes, bold flavors, and standout desserts, it's a great destination if you're looking to explore Puerto Rico's modern dining scene with a cosmopolitan twist.

Friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday while we were on vacation. Our trip to Puerto was a little disappointing food-wise... until we came here. Came for Bad Bunny, stayed for the crispy rice. It's located inside of an upscale mall and the interior lighting makes the restaurant extra appealing.

Music playing way too loud cant hear server , portions was super small at least for the short rib tortellini especially for the price. HYPE

Trying new places for me is a MUST. Whether it's a hole in the wall to an upscale restaurant, it never misses me. First, I'd like to say our waiter was very explanatory on what we should order but also on the food and their quality/origin. That was quite an experience in itself. The food; we ordered the sticky spicy tuna & it was nothing that had a wow factor. Thankfully they didn't butcher it so I would reorder again because it was still good. Now the steak was superb! The texture the look and the taste was impeccable. For the price & size that was the winning item. Creamy spinach was also good. The oyster flight that my husband order was ok. The oyster were a little too small to have the full tasting experience with all the different ways they prepared it. We had ordered the tres leche cake but it never came out. Drinks were very delicious and well prepared. Because of the hype of it being Bad Bunny restaurant people tend to ignore the fact that this is an actually good tasting restaurant. I would recommend people to try it out. I would go back when in PR.

Coming from the states and just visited New York. That being said, the service at check in is strange. They ask you so many questions that's more customary in hotel/resorts. The service is extreme slow and food takes 3 times longer than America. I had the short rib pasta and so did my 12 year old son. The portion was enough for a bird, maybe. My wife had burrata salad. Good but nothing to brag about. Tomatoes used are too big also. Daughter had the Alfredo pasta with shrimp. No cream which was great. Pasta excellent. We also ordered bread and it was very slow and not great. Decor very nice. Over all too slow to come back. 45 min to get food. No joke. Restaurant almost empty. Maybe 10 tables Bad Bunny should stick with music. Love his music and his concert was awesome.

Ambiance and food amazing. I should have checked that dogs were allowed. That was the downfall. i personally do not want to eat my meal across from a Pomeranian at the dinner table. I have a Yorkie. I love my dog but he does not sit on my lap at the dinner table while I eat my meals and enjoy my cocktails. Dogs are still animals and I didn't enjoy my $300 dollar meal wondering if a dog was at my table previous to us and if it was properly cleaned and serviced. The thought of dog hair or worse. Food and service excellent but I won't go back. They should have been seated outdoors with a dog!! Sorry this personally a no for me!

BARTENDER A CREEP. I went alone to the bar area for a take out yesterday around 3 pm 03/12/2025 and a bartender chunky & beared tall man in his late 30s or 40s was my bartender I ordered a drink that comes with fruit and he didn't add any. When it was time for the rips he really GOT CLOSE TO ME and said "ok ahora tips" I felt intimidated. No bartender let alone when a young woman is alone they should do NOT this. I confronted him about the missing berries on my cocktail and he laughed it off that was before he got close to straight to the tips like it was mandatory. I ordered one drink as I awaited for the food

Celebrate my birthday here for dinner while visiting for the bad bunny residency. The food was amazing, the service was great. 10/10

We walked past a completely empty restaurant just to be seated outside, which made no sense. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. Not exactly the dining experience I had in mind. NEVER ABH

Súper buena comida, el lugar es muy agradable y el personal también. Lo recomiendo para ir en pareja y amigos

This has got to be one of the most delicious seafood restaurant that I have ever been to. I live in LA and I can't recall the last time I had something this good. Their service was great, they were able to seat us down as a walk in. It's hard to get reservations online. The decor inside was exceptional. It's located inside a mall which makes parking quite convenient. Must check out when in PR!

Great food and drinks. Great service. Ambiance was very chill while being busy in a Monday. That did not stop the show. Nothing negative to say. This restaurant is ran almost to perfection.

Wow! We had the best time celebrating our honeymoon! The food was delicious, but the service, brought to us by Ivan, was spectacular. He made us feel right at home. We highly recommend coming here!

Excellent food and creative. Staff was very friendly and informative regarding the dishes. Music was a bit too loud and food was delayed due to a misplaced ticket.

I was really impressed and blown away, first by the kindness and professionalism of the complete staff. They were beyond amazing, from when we first walked in, until we walked out, literally every interaction with the staff was pleasant and heartwarming. Everyone was so friendly, just a beautiful group of great people. The ambiance was and the background music were so great , they complimented each other well. The "look" of the restaurant was so modern and chic and just so cool. The food was literally amazing. I was really impressed with the flavors and the uniqueness of the menu. My favorite dishes were the little mofongo in this amazing jam !!!! Omg amazing and the beef dumplings, incredible flavors . I also loved the oysters and the tempura shrimp. The drinks were so refreshing and ahead of their time. Very creative and they all have personality. Our server , Bruce , was incredible. He made us feel like we have known him for ever but being very professional. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in my life. Thank you LALA, for such an experience.
