The food was delicious but the service could,have been better. We had to,wait a long time to get our food. So if you go be patient. But it’s pretty worthwhile.

Wow! Nuestra experiencia fue 20/10, el mesero que nos atendió fue tan detallista con todo (olvidamos su nombre). Nos dio recomendaciones de lo que podíamos pedir y no se equivocó con ninguna de las selecciones. Se tomó hasta el tiempo de escuchar lo que teníamos que decirle de su servicio. Definitivamente tiene vocación en lo que hace.

Paulina’s is probably one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at. We at there twice over a 5 day period and it didn’t disappoint. Service is casual and friendly and the food is amazing. The Torta was unlike anything I’ve ever had and incredibly delicious. This is easily one of of the best restaurants in Puerto Rico!

My wife and I were in PR for a night waiting to get on a cruise ship. We picked Paulina Escanes based upon other Open Table reviews. We had a table outside, the weather was nice, and our server was great. I had their specialty, Torta de Elote Escanes. Really, really tasty. My wife had Pollo Peruano, which was great as well. Highly recommended.
