“ Words do not exist to express how good this food was. I wish I still had the other 80% of my stomach. Then I could have finished it in its entirety and also ate the giant chicharron/pork chop the gentleman at the next table was eating. I loved everything about this meal! They didn't tell me what was on my platter. However, when they delivered it to the next table (who ordered it because they saw my plate) I heard the description which honestly didn't matter because deliciousness is a universal language. The homemade sausages were all so flavorful. The rice was cooked perfectly, the pork was so moist , and I even enjoyed the blood sausage. The staff was friendly and the food came out fast. It's definitely a popular place. The decor is nice. I will be back for sure. ”
“ I've been here twice with Spoon Tours. They have wonderful arroz con habichuelas y pernil. Additionally, their fruit juices are yummy too. Tamarindo is sour but so refreshing. Lorna served us our dishes and explained each sauce. I didn't use sauce on my pernil. Instead, I mixed everything together and ate it that way. YUM! Deaverdura has a mix of locals and tourists. Typically, Old San Juan has more tourists eating out but inside was filled with a mix that night. It had a great vibe! Check it out for authentic Puerto Rican food. ”
“ We were looking for piononos in OSJ and this place was recommended to us by a friendly bartender at Monostereo. We enjoyed the Puerto Rican sampler which included morcilla, alcapurrias (small ones), tostones, piononos, and other yummy fried items and drank ice cold Medallas. Service was quick and very kind and friendly. This place is not fancy or hipster but a good value for traditional Puerto Rican food. Portions were very generous. The three of us ordered a plate for three and had to take a good portion home. ”
“ We were in Puerto Rico 9 days, and this was our favorite spot, came back twice during our trip. 10/10. Enough said. ”
“ The food here was so delicious. A hand written menu that changes daily. The menu is written in Spanish so you have to take a gamble if you are not fluent, which was not a problem for us at all. Everything was so good and tasted fresh. The tostones were delicious with the hot sauces on the table. Whatever that green garlicky sauce was, I've been dreaming of it ever since. Our Uber driver told us when he dropped us off here that we picked the best spot in the area, for not being locals, which was great to hear :) 10/10 ”
