Absolutely excellent BBQ. We had burnt ends to start then I had avocado stuffed with brisket and my dining companion had ribs. I would thoroughly recommend the stuffed avocado. The watermelon salad with feta was a nice refreshing side.
Service was friendly and efficient.

Excellent customer service. Decent seating area but wish it was more. Good drinks and amazing food.
Ordered the following:
Brisket cheddar sandwich: 10/10
Brisket taco: 10/10
Baked beans: 10/10
Everything was incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Competing for best bbq I’ve ever had. Definitely get here!!!

We were in Puerto Rico for our anniversary. Went to Old San Juan to do some bar hopping, but once we saw a barbeque spot, we had to try it. The service was great. The environment was awesome, loved the in door-out door set up. The food was good, not great. They did not have any ribs, which was disappointing to start. I ended up trying their smoked wings. They were ok. I’d try this location again next time I get to visit Puerto Rico in hopes they have ribs.

My husband and I were excited to eat here on the last night of our visit to PR, especially since they had vegan BBQ which is more rare to find. When we got there about 6:30pm (Saturday night), they were pretty busy – a huge long table of people had just left and the table had all the mess on it. Nobody greeted us at first, but we waited a few minutes and then they cleared a table for us. It was clear that they were short staffed as it looked like they only had 2 people running the whole floor and 1 of them was also a bartender – the one guy was running around like crazy.
Then we learned they were out of a bunch of stuff, including pulled chicken which my husband was going to get, vegan cheese and a few other things. It was surprising since it was early in the night. So he ordered the pulled pork in avocado, beans and rice, and I ordered the pulled jackfruit in avocado with vegan watermelon. We got the food fairly fast, but the watermelon had feta on it and the waitress never came back to check on us. The other waiter was able to help us out.
Overall, the food was good, but the service was a little disappointing (maybe it was on off night or someone called out), and note they don’t have A/C. It was nice to hear the live music from next door.
Note, we parked on the street and walked down – there is no parking lot. Check out via lactea down the street for vegan ice cream, delicious! Closes at 7pm so we ate dessert before dinner and split a flight of 4 flavors (pic attached).

First of all the food here is incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough. We had dinner on a Tuesday night around 9PM. They had one order of brisket left and I did not hesitate to take it. I have eaten lots of brisket in my day and let me tell you this was some of the best I’ve ever had. It was so flavorful and juicy it didn’t even need any BBQ sauce! My wife had a stuffed avocado with BBQ pork which was also fantastic. The mixed drinks are very good and also very strong. Price for two people with drinks ended up being around $72 without tip. Of course we left a good tip because the staff was very friendly and took great care of us. 10/10 will absolutely come back next time we are in San Juan.

Very nice atmosphere, the service here was also great, we were seated pretty quickly and got our food fast. The food was also great. We loved the appetizer sampler, the nachos were my favorite. I also got the smokehouse ribs, great flavor and taste, good eats !!

I was very pleasantly surprised. Coming from the states, I thought it’s just bbq. But it’s got a unique twist. The tamarind wet ribs were amazing. The brisket taco was flavorful but the meat was a tad dry. The salsa that comes with it made up for that though and tasted great. Service was very friendly.

The food was absolutely amazing! The meat was very tender, juicy and the seasoning just perfect. The service of Steve and Jose was great! Food came in quick. They don’t take reservations but you can put your name on the list. It took us 10 minutes to be called to our table.

The wait staff welcomed us right away and were very friendly. The brisket is delicious. The sauce is delicate and not overly sweet. Cooked perfectly.

Great food and awesome atmosphere. Came here with 16 guys and had a wonderful time. I had the brisket with beans and rice and most of my friends ordered the Jerk Chicken. That chicken is A LOT of meat, 1/2 a whole chicken. Ate around 5-6 right before La Placita gets busy. Highly recommend for some good barbecue food.
