Deaverdura
An affordable, home-style eatery on Calle Sol in Old San Juan, featuring blackboard menus and a sampler platter perfect for first-timers.
Located at the corner of Calle Sol and Calle de la Cruz in Old San Juan, this restaurant opened in 2014 and specializes in farm-to-table Puerto Rican home cooking. Orders are placed from a blackboard menu, and service is fast. The sampler platter is ideal for first-time visitors, while the roast pork, onion steak, garlic grouper, and pasteles are also highly recommended. Drinks are mainly fresh juices and rum. Reservations are not accepted, and there is often a queue during lunch, with some waiting up to 40 minutes. Parking is difficult in the Old Town, so walking or taking a taxi is recommended.
