Hacienda Don Jose

Nice place oceanfront at reasonable prices! The parents had a pork dish which was very good. The kids had a chicken mofongo which was excellent. I have never seen them eat a meal so fast! We can’t wait to go back for more mofongo. They also offer breakfast and Mexican food. They also delivered to us at the Condado Plaza Hilton. There was no delivery charge but we tipped them anyway.

Cute spot! Great place to stop in for drinks, check out the ocean view and take pictures.

Awesome food. Great ocean view. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this place.

Service was nice and so was the ocean views. We went for happy hour on a friday. The drinks were sooo weak. The chicken tacos i ordered were ok. Great to eat if you are on a budget.

Under-​appreciated restaurant with a killer view and great food and drinks. The mofongo is outstanding, if a bit pricey at $ 20 with steak, but still worth it.

What an incredible view! Definitely go all the way to the back and sit with the ocean at your back. They have Puerto Rican and Mexican options. Both are great! They only take cash but the atm charge is only 50 cents.

We went here for breakfast as we heard the prices were better than the chains in the hotels (Denny’s) and if you were lucky enough to get a table by the window, your view would consist of the waves gently lapping up against the rocky shore outside. We were lucky and got said table and the prices were better…
Very quiet and relaxing breakfast. Place was about half filled with people. Juices, coffees were ordered as we decided on the menu. Once again we relied on our server to guide us through a few items and Emanuel delivered. We ordered 3 complete breakfasts ($ 9/​each) which was a ton of food. My 8 year old wanted pancakes and upon hearing this, Emanuel suggested we not purchase a breakfast for him and he can have some from each of the breakfasts we ordered as to not have too much food. Great call and we still had leftovers. All of it was cooked great and you really can’t beat the view. One drawback — my wife ordered the Huevos Rancheros and basically… we all should have ordered them. Her breakfast had us beat. We actually discussed coming here again before heading to the east side of the island but changed our minds only because of timing.
One important note — no credit cards. CASH ONLY

We came here 3 times during our 4 day trip. Don’t let the outside fool you. Go here, you won’t be disappointed.

Just really wanted a traditional Mexican/​Puerto Rican meal. The food was overpriced for how much you get. 2 small tacos for 6.50? Yeah right. The margarita tastes good and the quesadilla tastes good aswell. The food was great, just the price isn’t right. Plus the view is awesome. But they try to make it look fancy by making the portions small.

Beautiful view and great food! I ate the Mofongo with skirt steak. Their salsa was delicious!

I got a Piña colada without alcohol and the Mofongo with Churrasco. Both were delicious. I was going to save some of the Mofongo for the next day, but I kept eating it. As did my spouse, who kept stealing off my plate! *g* On top of that, the restaurant has a beautiful view out the ocean. We just sat there, looking at the waves and eating wonderful food.
The service, while it could be considered slow for American standards, was very good. They don’t take credit cards, cash only. The waitress did warn us of this at the beginning, and let us know that there was an ATM in the lobby.
TL;DR — delicious food and drinks, world-​class views, would go again.

The breakfast food wasn’t cooked properly (I got the #7 with eggs fried hard). Sent the runny eggs back and they came back a lil harder but still runny. There was no seasoning to any of the food and the potatoes were fried and… slimy. Disgusting
The waitresses, while pleasant, seemed more interested in tending to their own conversations than the customers. No offer of water, more juice, napkins, or even a check in to see how we were enjoying our food.
The ONLY thing exemplary about this place was the view, which was very nice. But u come to a restaurant to eat, not look at the ocean. I wont be back.

Slow place, not many people there (off season). The staff was fabulous, the happy hour margarita was great ($ 3.50) and the pollo mofongos were awesome. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the view is stunning overlooking the ocean.

Cash Only.
FOOD
— Combination plate con guacamole y refrito
– Taco: shredded chicken topped lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa. The chicken had no flavor whatsoever. I had to pour tons of hot sauce over it to give it some flavor. ²⁄₅
– Tostado: shredded chicken topped with salsa and sour cream. The tostado was the exactly the same as the taco, minus the lettuce. ²⁄₅
SERVICE
Very slow. We waited for over half an hour even though we were the only ones there. The staff speaks close to no English here. 2.5÷5
FINAL THOUGHTS
Beautiful view for lunch but the food is not worth it.

Been here twice – I liked my chicken breast with ajillo sauce, but the side of mofongo is amazing!!! Surprisingly good food for a place with such a gorgeous view.
The service is slow, but with an ocean-​front view, I was fine with the wait. They say they only take cash… but there’s an ATM. I’m sure they *can* take cards, but prefer cash.
Very unassuming from the street, but fabulous!
Can’t wait to come back!
(One star off for cash only – annoying)

Great view and fast service! Almost overlooked this place because when you walk by because it looks like the place is empty so I thought there was a reason behind it! Turns out everyone is sitting in the back with the ocean view! Great find next to Ropa which is 5 stars! Go here and try something! I had the Mexican food. yum

Amazing prices and amazing view, but you’re paying for poor service. We went for lunchtime, idk if that makes a difference but veryyy slow and seemed like we were trying to track our waitress down the whole time. We asked for the check right when we got the food figuring it’d take awhile to return with the bill and our change. We had to ask for our change which was another turn off, I think they assumed our change was a big tip.
Besides that, sit as close to the windows as you can, the breeze with the waves crashing against the rocks is gorgeous and relaxing. In NYC where I’m from, a view like this would immediately jack up prices yet prices here were extremely fair — 33 $ bill for the 2 of us– dirt cheap. We got carnitas tacos which I thought were a little dry (I advise getting it with guac– that def helped) but came with 3 which was very filling. My bf’s cheesy chicken burrito was amazinggg I kept stealing from him– I recommend the burritos for sure.

The place has an amazing view and the atmosphere was nice. The good was okay at best. I ordered the boneless pork with onions and the pork was tough and crunchy on the outer layer. My boyfriend ordered the chicken breast with garlic and a side of mofongo and both the mofongo and chicken were on the dry side as well.
The waiters were not very attentive either nor were they friendly as well. It’s not bad, but we may have gotten an off day for them. Would come back to try something new.

With all indoor seating, this restaurant has an amazing view of the water and rocks. incredibly peaceful and beautiful.
otherwise the menu is Puerto Rican and Mexican. the prices are inflated for tourists with $ 15 fajitas. the tacos weren’t bad but sadly the tortillas were flour not corn… though those were only $ 6!
the drinks were delish! would recommend the fruit frapes-​especially passionfruit!
the service was very friendly and prompt.
they also serve breakfast Til 11 am. go for the view!
overall 5 stars for the view, 3 stars for the food, 3 stars for value.

Awesome location right on the water! Waves crashing feet away from the windows. I can’t speak of the food as we just stopped by there for a couple drinks, but their menu is extensive. I wish I had been hungry, as I would’ve loved to eat here.
Great staff, great drinks, fantastic view!
