Pórticos 1606

$$

This bright-blue historic building houses one of San Germán's best-kept culinary secrets. Pórticos 1606 has a great mix of classic Puerto Rican food and specialty dishes from other Caribbean countries. The staff is friendly and helpful, and their grilled meats are some of the best you can get in the region. It's recommended to get several dishes to share, so everyone gets a taste of their full and impactful menu.
