Experts' Choice Award Tasca El Pescador
What the experts agree on
Fresh seafood standout near Plaza del Mercado, famous for whole fried red snapper and squid rice. Always crowded, but the daily catch displayed in-house is worth the wait.
“This small, always-packed restaurant across the street from the Santurce Plaza del Mercado has the best fresh seafood in the city.”
– Frommer's
Concierge "Our favorite is Tasca El Pescador, where the catch of the day is iced down in a glass display case. If there's red snapper, try the whole fish deep-fried in a dish called chillo entero frito."
Travel + Leisure "Popular menu items include the chillo entero frito, a whole fried red snapper, and the arroz con calamari, made with rice, squid, and squid ink." Full review
Fodor's "If you want Spanish-style seafood dishes, head to this restaurant, one of a dozen that surround the Plaza del Mercado." Full review
