Pork Leg
Mouthwatering Berkshire pork - 'au jus' sauce, served over a spread of FuFu, a traditional Cuban dish made of mashed sweet plantain and bacon. Its tenderness and goodness speaks for itself!

Food was great but service was severely lacking - almost to the point that we were personally offended. Unfortunate because the food really was delicious.

Amazing food and drinks. Must goto place!
Good food. Amazing “Angry Cuban” Margarita. Friendly waitstaff. Food good or very good depending on what you have. Great salsa music next door. This is a very
Cool local place. If however you are looking for a quiet, out of the way dining experience, this is not your spot.
The food was excellent and the staff was amazing. The specials we well thought out and appealing. We sat in the outdoor section and just loved watching the crowds and people dancing in the street. A real San Juan experience not to be missed.
Bachelorette
Great food and atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious- the coconut flan was the best I have ever had.
We had a great experience at this restaurant for our ladies get away dinner! The ambiance, service and food was the best of our vacation. Thank you to Eric, our awesome waiter!!
The food was absolutely delicious, the decor was beautiful, and our waiter was incredibly warm and helpful. We will definitely be going back when we visit San Juan again.
Awesome food and service ... great ambiance
I recently visited this restaurant with a group of 10 girls for a bachelorette and it exceeded our expectations! The cocktails were amazing, food was delicious, and our waiter was lovely. The live music really topped the cake and made our experience all that more special. We also loved that Asere was right in the heart of La Placita, making it incredibly easy to walk to our next destination of the night. This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend (thank heavens!), and I will be sure to recommend this myself to family/friends who are planning to visit San Juan in the upcoming future!
Eric , our server was excellent!!
One of our favorite places!!
Food was delicious!!
Everything was great. Food, service (Lana) and ambiance. There was a trio that I thought was very good but it did increase the noise level.
Amazing food and service. Location is excellent for people watching and fun.
Holiday meal
Great food and good music!
Fabulous! Food and service is excellent.
We wanted a local experience for our last night in San Juan and we were not disappointed! The food was great, service was outstanding, and the people watching from our outside table was perfect. I highly recommend Asere.
Fun and low key vibe with amazing food. My family are Cuban and the food surpassed our family recipes, which is impressive. I rarely find good Cuban food away from home. The restaurant is cozy enough to make you feel at home but with enough edge to ensure you feel like it’s a special night out. Service was relaxed and attentive. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Great restaurant! This little gem had fantastic food and service! One of our best meals while in Puerto Rico!
Absolutely loved Asere.
Excellent food. Lovely local feel. Service was really great.
This was in the middle of a jumping part of downtown Old San Juan so it was crazy noisy- music singing dancing everywhere
The food was the best we had the entire week- really special- we had whole red snapper fried and so beautiful! The cocktails were expertly done- has to have a mojito! Highly recommend - but understand the area is crowded and hard to get an Uber right to restaurant- you have to get out and walk a bit- which is fun.
Service was great, food was amazing, the only thing I would say is that food took too long but our waiter made sure we had drinks and appetizers while we waited. Overall a great place.
Excellent!!!
Good Service
Drinks were good
Food little bit salty
Food was not good. Really underwhelming. It used to be good not sure what happened!?
Be prepared for a very loud and cramped dinner. A lot of fun but the band is right on top of you and they are not quiet.
The restaurant is right in the heart of La Bacita and there is a lot of nightlife, one big street party.
Just be prepared otherwise we had a great time.
Called prior to confirm vegan options on the menu (beans and rice, salad, eggplant dish)
... we weren’t throughly impressed however the energy and location were both vibrant!
Great food. Good service. Convenient location. Indoor and outdoor seating
We love Asere. We always sit outside so we can enjoy the live music coming from other venues around the Square, as well as indulge in some people watching. The food is great, service is generally fantastic. Favs include the warm bean dip, empanadillas, pork belly tacos and pretty much everything else on the menu!
I ordered the Lavanda cocktail and it’s refreshing and strong at the same time. It’s really good! The empanadas, and spring rolls for appetizers and they were EXCELLENT!! Dinner the salmon and it was crispy on the outside and very tasty! Loved it! The best dessert is the crème brûlèe!
Excellent food... awesome service!
Food was great, service was wonderful, we enjoyed our meal so much. I would go back if I am in the area
Excellent empanadas and Vaca fritas. We enjoy our food each and every time we visit.
We had such a great night thanks to our wonderful server,Erik. He took the time to explain everything in the menu and gave us great advice. The food was absolutely delicious and all the seafood plates were super fresh . We left full and very happy !
Our waitress was great we let her take the wheel on drinks and food and she directed us to some delicious apps, entrees portions are pretty big and drinks are strong HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR DINNER+DRINKS
We went there to enjoy lobster and mussels but at 7pm they were out of several dishes on the menu including these two items. We ended up ordering beef and salmon because it was late and we did not want to drive to a different restaurant. What a disappointment
Awesome restaurant! Must try the rope vieja and the best mamposteo I've had while in Puerto Rico! Finished dinner with the tres leche which is absolutely to die for!!
Great food!! Great area!! Love the outdoor street seating!! Food was A1!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️service was perfect!!..
