Good spot for breakfast or lunch in walking distance from the apartment. The spot is cool and hip but be warned that the service may take a while depending on who's working that day. There is also a boutique store inside with women's apparel.

This "chinchorro" as the locals call them or "bar" is a hidden gem to listen to live "plena" Puerto Rican music. The atmosphere is great and drinks are really cheap. Don't plan on wearing anything fancy here though.
