"Lote 23 was meant to be a trendy outdoor food park, one of the first attempts to remake a long-ignored space on the island of Puerto Rico. “We wanted it to be a place where people could enjoy good food in a casual setting,” says Cristina Sumaza, Lote 23’s co-founder, who opened the space in late 2016. The empty lot set among looming condominiums and corporate offices became home to 16 food vendors serving both international and Caribbean food, prepared by some of the island’s most celebrated chefs and rising stars." - ByLigaya Malones

One of a kind open space food court in San Juan. I have been keeping coming back for the Paz pizza at least once a week. The atmosphere is very special. Highly recommended for casual hanging out with friends.

The drinks at Tequila Cantina are delicious and the bartender is super sweet. We came here after trying to go to La Casita Blanca . It was a 2 hour wait there . Mofongo here was great but don’t do Bicteca . The pork was little too salty. If you are a New Yorker (Nuevayol in the house ) go for the drinks and maybe pizza , the locals love their pizza here .

Amazing place with loads of great food and drink options. Fabulous cocktails, good craft beers and tasty food. The Lot I’d full of young, beautiful, trendy people. I had a poke bowl and my companion had ramen, both were delicious. Absolutely go here if you’re in the area

Margherita pizza was SUPERB at La Paz food truck. The BEST during my PR vacation; I went to 3 pizzerias in Old SJ (VSJ) and HAPPY I stopped here. YUMMY Bacalao (codfish) Tostones with avocado bits and delicious Parcha drink at La Sobrina Food Truck too. I hope both food trucks open locations in the future to follow/visit. Senior friendly both food trucks!!

Cool outdoor market to eat at with a lot of different options Sister had mofongo and liked it. I went to a diff car for ribeye steak sandwich which was good as well. They also had good fries Ended the night with mint ice cream at a diff cart which was awesome Service could different from place to place but wasn't busy so all were quick

I loved this place so much! This was one of the coolest spots we got to visit while in San Juan. It's like an outdoor food truck (without the wheels) galore. So many different options to choose from, different cuisines, and deserts + drinks as well! They had a great amount of outdoor seating and it was a free flow area for the community to come in and out as they please to order. They also had a DJ in there playing some good music that I enjoyed. There was an open space in front of him like maybe they dance out there sometimes? We tried the spot I have pictured along with the pizza place (because they told us they were from Chicago so we had to support haha). The deep dish wasn't anything to boast about honestly. Now the alcapirria.. omg sooo good! I wanted more! That steak was very tender. The bacallaito was yummy as well.. full of a generous amount of crab and was refreshing. We got 2 mules from the bar there and it was okay but a little small for the price. Everyone there was so friendly!

Since I last posted a review, I've noticed a few changes the couple of times I've been back. Two new food stands opened: La Neta (Mexican) and Cool Hope Creamery (Ice Cream). I recommend checking out Cool Hope. Very good ice cream. I posted a review on their page... FYI, each business here has a Yelp page. On the flip side, two stands recently closed. Dorotea's Pizza and Tía Dora are no more. Huge bummer for me because Tía Dora was my favorite spot here. Good news is they are set to open a new location in Ocean Park soon. I'm hoping that one of the businesses that comes in to replace the two that left is an Asian eatery as there is currently no Asian option. I still like coming here. It provides a family friendly environment with good food, drinks, and vibes. On my last visit this past weekend, I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich from Hen House and liked it. The ice cream at Cool Hope was excellent and, as usual, the fries at Bayard were bomb. Haven't been here in the evenings as of late. We've usually dropped by on a Sunday afternoon. So I'm not sure if they've brought back live music. Several of the stands, if not all, accept Apple Pay. My only complaint is that the stands tend to be out of items on Sunday. Maybe it's because the weekends are busy and they sell out by Sunday. Maybe we've been unlucky and just happened to visit the Sundays they are light on items. Next time I'm coming another day and see. So, that would be my tip - keep in mind that if you come on a Sunday some of the stands may be sold out of certain items.

Lote 23 in Santurce is well worth a visit for lunch or dinner if you seek a casual and delicious alternative to other restaurants in OSJ or Condado. My wife, two teenage sons (16 yrs, 14 yrs), and I stopped by here on a Friday at 1:30pm after a morning beach visit to Pinones (Playa Vacia Talega). On the plus side, Lote 23 is kid-friendly with outdoor seating. It's a clever idea to bring a wide variety of food trucks (Cool Hope Creamery, Burgers, Arepas, Tacos, Poke, etc.) in one plaza location. We enjoyed the tacos (salmon, ribs) and salsa appetizer platter from one stall. My 16 year old son enjoyed his cheesteak and fresh-cut steak-size French fries. My wife loved the arepas from Budare (chicken I think). Waiting time can be 5-10 minutes per order. On the minus side, Lote 23 is difficult to find in Santurce as it's somewhat hidden between buildings. Parking in that area can be rough as well. But overall, I would strongly recommend a visit here for lunch or dinner if you're skeptical that a kid-friendly, delicious meal in San Juan exists.

Lote23 open space dinning with multi venders. Stopped in at LaNeta I had to try their 3 Tacos and got a chicken called Tinga. ($13) and a corona ($4) Fast friendly service, comfortable atmosphere

Really cool vibe! It's an outdoor food hall made up of a bunch of different food stalls or kioskitos. I came here with my sister since we couldn't decide what to eat and this place had a little of everything. They have tacos, chicken, grill cheese, arepas, and more. However the 3 star review comes from the fact that most of the food stalls were closed. The ones that we were most excited about were closed and it was only 9:30 PM. Based on the hours they are open till 11 PM. That was a disappointment.

During our stay in San Juan (disclaimer: we stayed in Old San Juan) we did not have good dining experiences anywhere, really. I'm not even going to review them. On our last day, after driving around the island, we made our way to Santurce. Honestly, we couldn't figure this place out. Things were closing early, but then many spots didn't open til late. Luckily, we found Lote 23. It made me wish that we'd driven out of Old San Juan and eaten here during those days of our trip instead. This place is huge. There are so many options that you might feel overwhelmed. This is why I wish we'd come and then come back again. There's a fried chicken spot, a burger spot, pizza, arepas, pernil, and more. I chose Pernileria los Proceres and thank god I did. Unforgettable meal. The arepa spot was also good. Lots of picnic seating, plenty of places to get a beer or cocktail. This is where you should eat in Santurce.

Lote 23 is a very cute food truck area in Santurce. Unfortunately, we arrived a little after 8pm and many of the food trucks had either run out of food or were closed. I ordered from the burger truck. They had good vegan options and I ended up ordering the beyond burger frita cubana with the strawberry lemonade (I'm not vegan, but I've been eating too much meat on this trip). The burger and lemonade were great. Burger was well seasoned with a red sauce topped with little papitas (fries). The lemonade was on the thick side and not too sweet. Would recommend this spot for a casual date or night out with friends while getting to know San Juan.

Big food truck fans over here! The park was very cute- misters, fans, and chickens running around everywhere! We can after the lunch rush so it wasn't really busy which was nice. We were a little disappointed at the selection as a lot of places were closed/no vendor. Also we were hoping for a little more local variety but I guess they wanted to cater to everyone. The tuna poke was excellent- very fresh- they were carving the tuna as we ordered. The tacos were pretty good too- not my favorite but still pretty good. As expected, with any food truck park, the prices were on the high end- but still worth checking out once on your trip.

I had been following Lote 23 on FB for a while (I like to make advance lists of where I want to go on vacation). We stayed in San Juan for just a night on the tail end of our PR vacay and when I mapped it showed Lote 23 was down the road-3 miles which didn't sound like a lot at the time but literally I thought I would have a heat stroke on the way back but my husband was having none of my complaining and asking for an uber so we walked the 6+ miles round trip from the Marriot. BUT it was HIGHLY worth the walk, such a cute food gastro park with so many great options. We went the Arepas and the Pomes Frittes (two different kiosks). The gentleman at the Arepas kiosk was so helpful in guiding us through our order and we went back a 2nd time for more.

Be sure to send a DM on Instagram if you can prior to going. We arrived at 2 on a Friday to find that they were closed. Granted it was misty out, but their Instagram story showed they were open.

This little gem of a place is hidden and located between two big buildings in the middle of a city. You wouldn't believe your eyes what is inside. Inside the place there are this little cabin style stands. Most are the same stand. Each one is a different food stand. I saw a pizza, poke, fried chicken, Jerusalem street food, Natura juices, Venezuelan food, burgers and bars. Very clean and spacious area with plenty of chickens walking around lol. Workers goes around sanitizing the tables and picking up things. The tables are pretty spaced from each other and everyone's wearing a mask. They have a stage. I was told that live music is played but not now because of the virus. They do have nice happy music playing all the time. I was told that this is a dancing place too but not now again for the virus. I only had a coconut drink. It was nice. But the atmosphere here is cool to visit.

Yelp
Trendy good vibes with tons of options with a nice little outdoor atmosphere that's super chill and laid back. A little disorganized with when things are open as all these spots operate on their own time which can be a nuisance if traveling here not out of convenience. The food at most of these places are pretty good and you won't be disappointed. Plenty of seating to bring a group and kick back with some good food and good drinks, also spaced out well so it never feels crowded. Some places take a while to get the food out but at least you know they're making it fresh, so unless you're pressed for time, it may or may not hurt your overall experience here. Either way, nice place to check out if you're in the area! stay fat mother suckers

Fun and diverse options available . Very accessible location and relaxed seating options. Nice mixture of locals and visitors. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

Super cute place!! It's basically like an open area with several food options. I'm from Miami so it reminded me of a Wynwood type vibe. We came on a Saturday night around 9ish to eat dinner. There are so many options!! They had pizza, Asian, caribbean, salads,ice cream and desert! A great option for large groups because there's something for everyone. We decided to eat at the Puerto rican spot. They had the option to chose your base (yuca, plantain or potatoes), your protein, and a sauce. I chose the mofongo, which was plantains with fried pork chunks, red onions, chicharrones and the cilantro aioli sauce. Let me tell you, the best food I had in Puerto Rico. Just thinking about it make my mouth water!! It was delicious!! The cilantro aioli sauce made it 10times better. The plantains were cooked great and the pork chunks amazing!! The only bad thing about my experience at this place was that it started raining on us. There's limited seating under a tent so we had to wait around for a spot, but other than that, great place for food options.

Great concept. I love the variety of options. Most kiosks are excellent, such as Pernilería Los Proceres (great sandwiches) and Hen House (juicy fired chicken). The pizza at Doroteas is also good and my husband is in love with Tía Dora (Mediterranean). Caneca makes good cocktails. I was a bit disappointed with the mofongo at Cuchifrito, a bit dry, and with the Poké at El Jangiri. It was a little bland. I have yet to try Budare (Venezuelan) and Berger (burgers). During the day it is very relaxed and quiet (at least the times I've been there for lunch). At night, the place livens up and it is lots of fun. They sometimes have live music. Place is kid friendly but not very stroller friendly.

Yelp
Lote 23 is a parking lot with food kiosks. Lots of different choices to choose from. My wife and family enjoyed what they had but I was not in the mood for more fried Puerto Rican food. They have free parking which is nice as this is a very crowded area.

Some if the food stands need to revisit customer service and some of the food not so good either. Following is a great food breakdown Beast- Mac and cheese at Lolos Excellent burger combinations at Berger Simply the best CheeseSteak at Bayards Yummy ceviche right across from Berger Poor customer service PokeBowl Big pass Cuchifrito not worth the wait nor the money.

Great spot! Tucked into the business area. We walked over with colleagues for lunch. Great choices for everyone. I picked budare. The food was delicious! The scenery was fun. The chickens running around made it interesting, until one jumped on our table and tried to take my food.

Lote 23 in San Juan is a great place to get a variety of delicious and unique food options in one place. I really like the atmosphere that they have created here where you can enjoy many types of food in a relaxed and fun setting. They are well worth a visit to check everything out

I loved Lote 23, this is an outdoor food hall with tons of options for everyone. Value probably not the best but this would be a great spot to catch a quick bite / drink in a cool outdoor setting. Really enjoyed my time here trying the varying restaurants here.

Bill M.

Yelp
I really liked Lote 23. Lots of interesting choices. Only negatives: Hen House: the chicken sandwich was very big and very good, but it took 25 mins. Should not take that long for a chicken sandwich. I don't like to watch others eat while I wait and wait. Also, they should make the parking for the area, easier to understand. It's very difficult to understand where to park. We had to park a couple blocks away on the street. All that aside, Lote 23 is worth the visit. Very cool. I would come back and try the other places.

Samantha K.

Yelp
Such a beautiful and trendy spot to go to, with so many different types of food. It wasn't packed and there are enough seats surrounding the area. The best part about this area is seeing chickens running around lol! I had tried the carnitas quesadillas from Nacho Libre and it was so delicious. Could use a touch of salt, but the person who served me was so sweet and attentive. She pointed out the different sauces they had, and the coconut sauce was very interesting but good. I also got chicken tenders and the cornbread with honey from Hen House. I really wanted to try their mac and cheese, but it was all sold out. The chicken was very good, and the breading was light and crispy. The cornbread was so delicious. It's served hot with the honey drizzled on top. Yum! Definitely will be coming back to try the mac and cheese.

Currently comprised of eleven Kiosks, Airstreams and Booths, Lote 23 is described as a "Gastronomic Park" in the heart of Santurce, the local focus and diversity of choices noteworthy while staff do a commendable job of enforcing safety protocols across various areas starting at 9am Tuesday through Sunday with Cafe Regina and Pernilería los Próceres.

This is a neat little outdoor food court with nearly a dozen food options at kiosks. Very trendy, great place to snap some fun photos and sample some inspired dishes. Picnic tables beneath sparkling string lights, it's pretty magical at night. Food was pretty good -- we tried some hand breaded chicken strips with three house made dipping sauces. We also had a noodle dish that did the trick. Some spots can be a little on the pricy side for what is more or less elevated street food, but the experience is worth it. Parking is tough, we used a garage across the street and paid just over $2. This part of San Juan has not seen a ton of reinvestment post-hurricane as of this Aug 2019 review.

David P.

Yelp
Overall a good spot to try a bunch of food. We got food from 4-5 different vendors and everything was good. The location was cool. Only downside is it takes a long time for the food and there are birds everywhere (including roosters). Locals are feeding them which is not helping.

Sumanyu M.

Yelp
We ate at 2 places: Tia Dora and Cafe Regina. We tried The Shuck (Veg Pita with Falafel) at Tia Dora which was delicious. At Cafe Regina, we tried the Almond butter toast and the Papaya bowl. Both tasted great, except that the papaya bowl was a little too expensive for the quantity we got ($7 for a few pieces of papaya and a bit of other stuff). Great atmosphere. A variety of options to choose from! Definitely worth checking out while in San Juan.

Sally W.

Yelp
Really cute fun place for all types of eaters. We had a delicious sandwich at the place near the entrance (the sandwich was called Revolucion), pretty decent tacos and chips, and a completely disgusting arepa - avoid at all costs. It's a nice place to hang in the late afternoon and evening - very chill - just don't get the arepas!

Jim S.

Yelp
This place is a gem. Their pernil (roast pork) is tender, juicy and SO flavorful. I had the Revolucion which added radish, cilantro, thin sliced carrots, and spicy (not picante) mayo to the succulent pork. The combination of flavors was expertly blended. I had a homemade strawberry-violet lemonade that was super refreshing and just tart enough. Kudos to the chef (he roasts the pork for 5 hours, then lets it set for a few more). I will be back!

Joyce C.

Yelp
Expensive for the amount of food from the taco stand. Ordered al pastor and pescado tacos and elotes. The food was tasty but not as good as the tacos we are accustomed to in Texas. Maybe we shouldn't have ordered tacos, since this was the first taco place we saw all week we wanted to try it though. Reginas drink stand had tasty refreshing Guava Soda and cashew milk iced coffee. Thought Stormy would be interesting to try but it was spicy like ginger and very tarte, like a healthy fruit shot drink.

Gabrielle L.

Yelp
Cute area. When me and my two friends went many of the trucks weren't open, it was 4:30 on a Sunday but I thought that was early enough since they don't close until 9pm, maybe it was more of a Covid world issue. There was also a child birthday party happening with a clown so it was filled with young children and popping balloons but nothing was closed off. We tried multiple items. Three different tacos which were all just soft and had no flavor from a place I don't remember the name of and can't find on the website. Arepas from Budare we're definitely the high light. I'm sure they're all delicious we had a chicken avocado one that we didn't mean to order, but I think that was a communication error on our part (we don't speak any Spanish). The only croquettes were from Berger and were mac and cheese.. So it just reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory. Margaritas tasted like very sweet sour mix. The first truck on the right hand side when you walk in with lots of pigs had awesome arroz con pollo. My favorite part is the chickens walking around

La pernileria tan Buena!!!!!!!!!! *** The henhouse has the best fried chicken I've ever had, but the cashier taking orders should leave the attitude at la placita.

Super cool spot! Came across this place while checking out Yelp for my work trip to San Juan and as a lover of good food trucks, had to check it out. I headed over straight from work so several of the vendors weren't open yet, but that didn't stop me! Got a great blonde ale, some piping hot and tasty pastellitos and an oversized order (should have gone for the small) of authentic Belgian frites! I didn't enjoy the dipping sauces I picked (curry ketchup and aioli, the curry ketchup just didn't come together as it should have, both in flavor and consistency and the aioli was just mayo vs including garlic which is what makes it aioli), but everything else was yummy. Currently trying to decide if I should get mac and cheese and croquettes to go! Unique spot with lots of choices, in addition to what I mentioned, there is a fried chicken cart, poke bowl place, stir fry, burgers and pizza, and some additional cocktail and dessert places too!

Elivette M.

Yelp
Our group of 6 ate from 5 restaurants! And we were mostly impressed. The food truck urban garden vibe was great. The comfy benches and plants were nice to look at and the little decorative artistic splashes made it a curiosity. NICE JOB! Each of us was able to find things that we loved and with our very different taste buds what one person was unimpressed by became a treat for someone else's palate! YUMMY! The place was well lit-well cleaned-and felt safe! We need more grown up spots like this!!!

I can't begin to explain how amazing Lote 23 is!! It's a hidden gem very close to San Juan. It's an open lot filled with different food trucks/stands. I had the pleasure of trying a few stands while I was vacationing in PR this October. Croqueteria - This stand offers croquettes. I tried four of their options; Ham and Cheese, Short Rib, Bacalao (Cod Fish) and Shrimp. The best part is that they all come with different dipping sauces, so if you're a "dunker", this is the place for you. My favorite was the Ham and Cheese. Pernileria los Proceres - AMAZING CUBAN SANDWICH!! Finger licking good!! So juicy and flavorful! They also make their own adobo which is so fresh! A must try! They also offer local beers which is a nice add on to any sandwich. La Alcapurria Quema - This stand had Alcapurria's that burst with flavor. Very crunchy and seasoned well. They also had good mini empanadas to snack on. I also tried the pasteles. They were different from what I am used to but I actually really liked them. The meat is placed on top rather than within and they top it with cabbage. Wish I would have taken a photo but I was too busy scarfing it down! Overall the vibe at this location is great for an afternoon lunch or late night bite to have a drink and relax. Definitely a spot to try while you're in town!

Christian H.

Yelp
Very interesting place! Tons of options even for the pickiest eater. I ate at the burger truck (Which was incredible), had a cocktail at the cocktail truck and the mofungo station. From the atmosphere, to the music & the selections. Everything was great until I made it back to the hotel . Unfortunately for the mofungo station, I ended up getting food poisoning in the middle of the night. Not sure if the Chef knew (But he looked at me as if something was suspicious). Anyways, i recommend everyone come here and try the many other options. .

It is notoriously hard to please everyone in my family when it comes to dining experiences, yet when we left LOTE 23, everyone was extremely happy. The lot has a cool, laid-back vibe (reminded me of Austin, TX) with a variety of food choices. We tried pernil and arroz guisao from Pernilieria los Proceres along with burgers and fresh immunity juice from Berger's by Jetty. The pernil was so delicious that my daughter conveniently forgot to give me half (we were going to split orders so we could all try two different things). It was the kind of meal that you wouldn't be ashamed to be caught licking the plate clean. "What's so special about burgers?" you say? Not much, unless they are local handcrafted beef patties cooked to order covered in a creamy Roquefort cheese sauce on an airy (also homemade) brioche bun! This burger makes other burgers look like imposters. The patty will be medium well done, so if that's a problem, be aware. I'm usually a fan of overcooked-beef, but this was delicious. I had the immunity juice which immediately gave me a boost after a long day in the sun. The common theme among all of the vendors is a commitment to fresh food by chefs who value quality. And it was more affordable than other (less tasty) places we've tried in PR. I would be happy to eat from any food truck there.

Let me start with some instructions on how to get here, cause I was confused. The entrance where you can walk in is whatever you see in Google Maps. It's between two tall buildings on the main road. There was plenty of free street parking along the main road across from the entrance in the early evening on Sunday. Lote 23 is a permanent-looking collection of various food trucks and trailers in a nicely landscaped, park-like setting with a stage for live music, open areas for dancing, and plenty of picnic tables. It's very clean and the string lights make it feel comfortable and romantic. It's not a loud party place - more of a laid-back couples and small groups spot. You can check out the vendors on the Lote 23 website. We had the pizza, which was made and baked to order in a stone oven. It was really tasty and nicely cooked. The guy seemed like a pro, and I'd be happy to try more pizza from him. We also had a milkshake from the ice cream shop, which was honestly pretty basic - ice cream + milk with, I think, cool whip on top? Not the best value. I'd go for a cone or cup instead of the shake if I went again. Lastly, we had a mojito from the cocktail trailer. Again, it was pretty basic and expensive. Don't expect too much there, even though the prices are high. All in all, Lote 23 is a decent place to go eat.

So many options, you will definitely find something you like. Large variety, and a really nice environment. Extremely good service and wait is never too long.

This place is great. Food trucks are quality food. Good beer. Loud enough music. Outdoor seating only.

I love love love this place. It's reminds me of modern farmers market but revolves solely around food. There's several stands, mimicking a mini food truck bazaar. While you can find typical Puerto Rican staples like mofongo and fritters, there are many options to choose from. They have options for pizza, Mediterranean cuisine, poke, and much more. I chose to get a tuna poke, which was absolutely delicious. I felt satisfied and light leaving there. My friends opted for a more traditional meal so they got trifongos with churrasco and shrimp from a neighboring stand. We all had natural juices as well (passion fruit, guanabana, and Caribbean cherry). All of the vendors were small local businesses and were very friendly as well. Highly recommend a visit if you can't narrow down your options in the santurce area. At least here, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.

Great place! Lots of great-looking options. I decided to order from the noodle spot and I was very happy with my choice. Great flavor! My husband ordered from the Mofongo spot- it was also pretty good. No live music when we stopped by, but apparently that happens on occasion. Other than a few huge scary dogs in the food truck park, this place was perfect. I highly recommend it!
