La Casita Blanca
A legendary homestyle eatery in a residential area of Santurce, honored as a James Beard "America's Classic" in 2023, featuring a handwritten daily menu.
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Santurce, this historic comida criolla restaurant was honored as a James Beard "America's Classic" in 2023. The daily menu is handwritten on a chalkboard, often featuring pig's feet stew with chickpeas, stewed cod, coconut arepas stuffed with cod, and whole red snapper, with tembleque for dessert. Reservations are not accepted, and lunch lines are common, so arriving early is advised. Parking is limited in the area, making a taxi the easiest option. Open only for lunch from Monday to Thursday.
Opening hours
Mon, Wed, Thu 11:30-16:00; Fri-Sat until 21:00; Sun until 17:00; Closed Tue
