San Juan - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
American chains. All of them. Also very good and interesting local restaurants, food trucks, and roadside stands. - May 2023
Way too much American food. We didn't eat out a lot because the choices weren't great and the prices expensive. When we travel outside the city, however, there are some great little Puerto Rican places. (We always stopped at Dela's near Cueva La Ventana.) - Jan 2014
Every sort of US fast food is here. There are also food vans, roadside pincho (kebab) places, and truly 5 star fine dining. The costs are comparable to DC area prices. A really fun way to discover the foodie delights of Old San Juan would be to take a tasting tour with http://www.sanjuanfoodtours.com. You can do tours of food, tapas, rum, coffee and desserts. The owner is a US expat and can do general tours as well as things specialized for vegetarian, gluten free or allergen free diets. - Jun 2013
