    One of the best restaurants in San Juan and beyond. Modern takes on traditional food with fresh, local ingredients. Perfect service and atmosphere. Drink menu is beyond.

    So to be completely honest the food was outstanding, but the server was not very tentative and would often leave before my girlfriend got to order her food. I tipped him 40 because of the high bill and I work in the restaurant industry I know what it’s like so I wanted to show that I understand but the service could’ve been way better

    The food was amazing. The menu is innovative and well thought out. I had the fish special and it was phenomenal. Surprisingly, service was lacking. Our waitress was slow and careless. We had to ask for service a few times, as she seemed to have forgotten about us.

    Mario Pagan is hands down one of PR’s best chefs. The food is innovative using local ingredients and always exceptionally prepared. My only criticism would be the decor (sparse and uninteresting) and the chairs are some what uncomfortable. It won’t stop me from returning!

    En ocasión de la celebración nuestro aniversario, ubicada en Mario Pagán en razón de bellas experiencias previas, la cena ha sido de una impecable calidad y refinamiento en cada uno de los tres cursos, con sobresalientes logros en el Tartar de Tuna, la refinada Lubina y los postres (flan de mango y soufflé de chocolate). Una de las mejores experiencias gastronómicas posibles en Puerto Rico, brindada por un servicio de excelencia, siempre muy atento y cordial. Gracias!
