Why Travelers Love Cafe Caleta
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Such a cozy place. The yellow boosts your energy!!!! The service was good. The fruits were so fresh. I wish I had ordered the Jerk chicken. If it’s still on the menu, please try it. Nice sidewalk cafe near El Morro in San Juan. They have a great wine list and interesting Vermouth choices. I tried the Spanish Verdu (second in list on attached photo). Served with a slice of orange and one olive balanced in an icecube. It was a wonderful starter and went great with the setting. I feel like I'm in a Spanish town with American tourists. Next I tried the Rose sold by the glass. Tres Navios, Blanco del Corneta 2021. I paired it with the daily Credo (cheviche) and it worked perfectly. The wine enhanced the local fish and slightly spicey flavors of the dish. The only thing missing was a crust of bread to soak up the last bit. I recommend stopping here before or after the fort for some great refreshment. We enjoyed our experience here, despite this part of the town experiencing some issues with the water ( low/poor water pressure). The staff was very nice, attentive and made sure to we were okay. The menu is simple but with excellent options and something for everyone. Overall I recommend coming here eating a nice breakfast and enjoying a drink and enjoying the scenery.

This place is nice! It has a good location. The most interesting thing was the food. We thought we were going to find Spanish food, but it turned out to be Argentinian. The food is good if you want to stop and grab a bite to eat and then continue with your plans.

WOW! This is one of the best places in Old San Juan. It looks like a tourist trap but it isn't. It is visited by many tourists but the food and drinks are top notch. The excellence in the cuisine is palpable in the dishes they're putting out. The coffee is also very good. The atmosphere is very cool, there's a nice vibe to the place and the seating outside is superb. The staff are very nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place.
