Our Guestbook
“ Old San Juan is a definite go-to in East Camden. The restaurant is split - one side is sit down and the left side is smaller for take-out. The food is delicious and the service is always great. I always order appetizer trays for holiday events. Catering is an excellent idea for any event. Can't ever go wrong with some Spanish food :) ”
“ I recently went to a Puerto Rican themed birthday party and old San Juan catered the food That was authentic and delicious and an excellent idea for a party. The mini empanadas were to die for and the Panini was moist without being greasy. I could go on but to give you an idea of how good this place is the person throwing the party drove 50 miles to pick up the food. ”
“ My favorite spot. I found this place when I moved here in 2017. I have not found anything else that compares. The empanadas are so so so good. Pernil always on point. Reasonable prices & friendly staff ”
“ The food here is awesome lots to choose from. But here early because it gets busy . The staff is very nice and they will explain everything in English or Spanish ”
“ We dined in on a Friday night and it was decently busy. We were given complimentary chicken noodle soup. Flavorful soup with a lot of pieces of chicken in it. For those who do not eat authentic foods from other countries, be warned that there are chicken bones in the soup. We ordered chorizo, beef, and beef cheesesteak empanadas. The empanadas are bigger in size than what I'm used to buying. The chorizo empanada was the best- flavor blast. The beef one was too salty. The cheesesteak one didn't have as much flavor. We all loved the Oxtail / Rabo - Yellow Rice with Pigeon Peas. The oxtail was tender. The stew was packed full of flavor. My Vietnamese friend said it reminded him of Bò Kho (Viet beef stew). We enjoyed the pernil with chicharrón mofongo. The pork had a Smokey flavor to it, but it was a bit drip. We drizzled the oxtail soup on top which made it delicious. This all came out to be $51 with tip included. We bought chicharrón to go. 0.72lb was about $7. It was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. ”
