Fodor's Expert Review La Mallorquina

Dating from 1848, La Mallorquina is thought to be the island's oldest restaurant. It specializes in various versions of asopao, a soupy rice dish with chicken or seafood, as well as other Puerto Rican and Spanish-inspired favorites. But it's the old-fashioned atmosphere that really recommends the place. In a room of whirring ceiling fans and antique marble floor tiles, the nattily attired staffers zip between white-clothed tables. Keep in mind that service can be a bit slow here, and prices are a bit steep for what you get.
