We wanted to have a meal and visit a mall for some "indoor time" so we decided on the Mall of San Juan mostly due to the ratings at Metropol.
It was worth it! We are a non-hispanic family of 4. One vegan, one flex/veg, a teen who is curious about different foods but mostly eats peanut butter, and a fussy teen who wanted tacos but doesn't eat fish. So we're challenging 😅
We had a wonderful server who made us feel very welcome, even though we were seemingly the only non-spanish-speaking people in the place.
Plantain chips for appetizer - great start
Mushrooms tartare was amazing - our vegan was very pleased, as were the rest of us who tried it.
Mofongo two ways, with seafood and chicken handled two more of us. As Dora the Explorer taught me, "yum yum yum, Delicioso!"
Now the fussy teen, too big for the kids menu, too picky for the standard menu. She asked for a modified version of one of their standard plates and they accommodated her...not just accommodate...above and beyond!! The chef was proud to make a custom order today, it seemed, and it was wonderful. They added some roasted plantains on the side and she even ate that. It was very nice to see my fussy eater enjoying her meal.
Thank you to the team, all around. Wonderful hosts, wonderful service, wonderful food. I wish we could bring this all home with us.
