MI VIEJO SAN JUAN – Mexican
Puerto Rican home cooking on East Colonial Drive, where the mofongo is mashed only once you order it. Start with sorullos, papa rellena, alcapurrias or a meat empanadilla, then work through steak, chicken, pork and seafood plates banked with tostones, amarillos, arroz con gandules and red or black beans. There is sangria, a house point of pride, and pina colada if the afternoon calls for it. Coffee and Puerto Rican desserts close it out. Groups are welcome, and the kitchen cooks like somebody's abuela is watching.
