   Organized and efficient service for our large group of a 11 for a bachelorette party dinner!! The menu had a wide selection for our more picky eaters, nice drinks and specials as well.

   We ate in garden area. It was pleasant and the service and food were excellent. We had planned to eat elsewhere, but when we walked into that restaurant it was hot, crowded and very noisy. We had had a long day and really wanted to have traditional Puerto Rican food in a cool, comfortable atmosphere. I found Al Asador on my resy app and was able to make a quick reservation. The restaurant was exactly the type of place we were looking for in Old San Juan.

   Interesting architecture but rather ordinary cuisine. Pleasant service.

   The host was very accommodating for our large party of 12. The food, while pricy, was excellent quality and our service was impeccable. We are so grateful to have been able to have our whole family together for dinner at such a lovely and welcoming place. Would recommend and will return on our next visit.

   We had lunch there. 1st rate ceviche and local specialties. Favorite jazz listening. It was packed when we passed by in the evening. Would definitely go back.

   Very bad experience. We waited for our meal for 1h30mn after our order was made. While waiting for it, we could see one of the cooks ( a woman) ) picking in one of the plates ready to be served for other customers. She took something with her fingers and ate it. We were shocked. Our meal had a different side from the one we ordered. To apologize the waiter offered a free drink which we refused. Ultimately my husband asked for a price reduction and we got it. When we arrived, few customers were seated so what we went through had nothing to do with excessive workload. Poor quality and poor service .

    Up to entrees everything was amazing. The entrees looked amazing but were served to the table almost cold. Ambience of the restaurant and the atmosphere was amazing. Appetizers and drinks were great!
