You will find unique pies here with a lot of local Puerto Rican and Caribbean flavor. The atmosphere is open and fun, they have a full bar, decent wines, and a solid craft beer selection. Additionally, the bartenders at Pirilo make great cocktails.... something you might not normally find at a pizza place.

Also a great place to grab some food to eat on the beach if you are hanging out on Ocean Beach.

Acapulco is a Taco/Mexican restaurant just off Calle Loiza on Calle San Miguel. The atmosphere and crowd is always fun at Acapulco and it can get crowded so you might have to wait a bit at peak times. Acapulco is known for fresh made margaritas and great tacos. The menu isn't cheap but it's all reasonably priced and the quality of the food is worth it. The bottom floor of the restaurant is pretty tight with a few small tables but they have a covered roof deck with fans that has many large tables. If you're in the mood for tacos and margaritas then stop by Acapulco and enjoy this great family owned spot. ** Tacos Tuesdays are $2 tacos and 2x1 margaritas.

The Majados food truck is also known as the Jay Frank Food truck and the Chef Frank Food Truck. It is about 2 blocks off Calle Loiza on Calle Pomarrosa and it is only in this location 11AM - 5PM Friday - Sunday. The rest of the week this food truck can be found among the kioskos at Luquillo Beach. Chef Frank's food truck is amazing all the way around and if you want to try some incredible local food then definitely find this guy. He is preparing his grandmother's recipes at great prices and you will be amazed by the quality and presentation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Bocca Osteria Romana - Condado

Bocca is a well known Italian/Roman restaurant on Calle Loiza founded by the Salvatore brothers (who spent many years in Rome with family). Bocca is known for a relaxing dimly-lit interior, great fresh pastas, Italian wines (like borolos and barbarescos) and a very solid overall dining experience. There aren't that many restaurants in Calle Loiza/Ocean Park well suited for a romantic couples evening/date spot and Bocca helps fill that void nicely.  Bocca isn't cheap (at about $18 for pastas and $38 for the Ossobuco) but the overall experience is priced appropriately. If you are in the mood for a sit-down dinner where you can have a conversation and some great pasta, go to Bocca. **Bocca also serves a great brunch during the weekends.

Yoko - Calle Loiza, San Juan

Yoko is a sushi place on Calle Loiza that serves some of the best Sushi in Puerto Rico.... it is certainly toward the top of the list by any account. The chef here will make any traditional style sushi or sashimi you prefer (that might not be on the menu) which is a huge bonus as more traditional style sushi can be very hard to find in Puerto Rico. The fish is super fresh, the atmosphere is tasteful and clean, and Yoko delivers a wide range sushi dishes, yakisoba, pokes, and fried rices. Visit Yoko for some awesome sushi.

Silk - Calle Loiza, San Juan

Silk is a Asian/Chinese restaurant that reminds you of something you might see in Miami or New York. The dimly lit interior with Buddhas and Gleaming chandeliers sets the stage for a cool experience. The menu at Silk offers American style Chinese favorites and sushi. The atmosphere is chic, clean and provides a cool backdrop for a dining experience. Silk is also a great spot for larger groups as the inside is pretty spacious and they can generally accommodate larger tables than many restaurants in the area.
