Ostra Cosa was an amazing stop during my stay in San Juan. It was the perfect place to relax and get out of the sun while enjoying great atmosphere, food and drink. The staff was so friendly and attentive to our table. My group of 4 ended up ordering a bunch of delicious tapa style plates(although entrees were on the menu as well) and after we were done eating had a bunch of beer at a great price may I add. We ended up hanging at this spot for about 3 hours while waiting to check into our hotel nearby. The staff did not mind that we were there at all and are all overall great people. This is a great business to support especially after the hurricane and your business is supporting the nicest people you could meet!!
I had my favorite meal while in PR at Ostra Cosa. I got the Papa Real Esparracha or the Royal Smashed Potato. It was smashed red potatoes topped with lightly sautéed fresh vegetables and cheese, which was then broiled so the cheese got melty in places and crispy in others. It was served with drizzles of two house sauces - one similar to a bechamel and the other a common sauce in PR that seems like a combo of ketchup and mayo. Then finished with your choice of meat. My server, Roberto, recommended the churrasco and the camarones and I would stick with that. He was also super friendly, accommodating, and attentive even when the entire restaurant filled unexpectedly. When it slowed down, Roberto generously answered my questions about where to find salsa dancing and yoga classes in the area and on a subsequent night (because I went back again for the Papa Real) gave me advice about how to find good mofongo and other great food in the area as well as how to best travel to nearby towns. Great food, exceptional service. Go there.
We loved it the food was so good. One the best restaurant we ate at. I would recommend to try this place when visiting Puerto Rico. Fried pork chop was my favorite. Got to try it.
