Our Guestbook
“ Small location but the food was hot and fresh. My husband and I really enjoyed the sweat bread with ham , cheese. We sat at the bar table so our service was quick. The younger gentleman not sure of his name was very friendly and helpful with food choices. The restaurant ambiance gives an old school diner feel which was really nice. ”
“ The best coffee in town. And the Mallorca's are fantastic. Every time we stop in San Juan, we head to cafe Mallorca. ”
“ If you're looking for comfortable surroundings and adequate air conditioning , this place is not for you. It's an ancient, crowded little restaurant. With majorca bread with sugar sprinkled on top that is other-worldly. Plus two eggs with plenty of bacon and coffee and bread for $10.50! And terrific, personable service (if you sit at the counter) and great ambience. And you can sit as long as you like. A real 'throw back.' My kind of place. ”
“ Mallorca is definitely a must try if you're in Viejo San Juan in breakfast time. The unique yet familiar Mallorca pastry is the perfect amount of rich and sweet. And you can even add savory and salty things into the mix if you're more adventurous. Despite being a "tourist trap," the prices are very reasonable and it still attracts a local crowd for an authentic experience. ”
“ Ambience: down to earth, not fancy, clean Service: good service and we did not have to wait for food . No nonsense basic service in this neighborhood restaurant. It looked like there were a lot of locals there having lunch which is a good sign for me Food: excellent Puerto Rican food. We all liked our dishes. I recommend the Puerto Rican rice and beans. Also, the roasted pork was excellent with a very generous portion of pork. One of my teenaged sons had pork chop with rice and beans and enjoyed it. Pork chop is thin and well done but he really liked it. Other son ordered the skirt steak with french fries and liked that dish. Other adult had chicken with rice and beans which is all mixed together and he enjoyed that. You definitely would return at our next visit to San Juan ”
