Nice little shop market. The people that work there and visit are all so nice and humble. Great feeling to look and walk around.

Fun fun fun night! So much live music and salsa dancing as well as delicious food at the restaurants nearby

This place is pretty small since Hurricane Maria. There isn’t much variety. But it is fresher than you can get in the store.

I wish regulations would allow for more varity in the market. It feels a little old and stale + produce is typically more expensive. The outside is beautiful so its worth a trip! (The restaurants and nightlife around it are great for some lively atmosphere!)

A phenomenal place to visit! Great bars and restaurants around the area! Fun! ☆☆☆☆☆

While its not what it used to be, before covid, it is still part of the town square. People come here to buy and sell meat and produce as well as some various retail style goods.Shop at the market and support the local economy, and enjoy the hospitality and experiences they have to offer, because places like this need to be protected and nurtured.

Great place for an evening drink and some tapas. Lots of outdoor seating and dancing in the streets. Great fun...!!!

I went at nighttime, and it was beautiful 😍.Seeing people out and about enjoying the scenery. The music and vibes were great, but (still due to covid rules in place) a lot of the restaurants close about 10pm. However there are quite a few bars still open.

Because of covid was almost empty the plaza, we only found 1 place for buying souvenirs, in this plaza you can find restrooms, place to eat and they also sell fruits and vegetables.

Lively place foŕ local produce. Fruits, vegatables and much more. Verý good findings for the price.👍

Had a great time over here with my wife. The people for Puerto Rico are so welcoming and warm hearted. We listened to great music, drank mojitos, danced and just had a blast. I would recommend this area to just have a good time.

A lot of culture and music with a variety of bars. Some nights like Disneyland loving people other is like wild west

It’s always great to visit local markets. Loved the local food for breakfast. People were so friendly and helpful.

AWESOME I guess that about says everything. Definitely a must if youre ever in Puerto Rico.

I found a great parking, not crowded, many vegetables for sale.

Lit, lit, LIT!!!!Had a great time with my family!Also mingling with other travelers that came to experience what the island is all about! Had an amazing time.

I walked to this market from my hotel. I was told by locals this is where people come to party during the night. I went here in the day time and brought fruit. I came back at night time, the atmosphere changed completely. It was people dancing, eating, and having a great time.

This is a beautiful trendy conglomeration of outdoor restraints and bars. A lot of fun and socializing goes on here. A must visit for visitors. Some open air clubs feature salsa dancing and karaoke and live music. Its packed on the weekends. The energy and ambiance was fabulous.

Great place when youre on vacation in Puerto Rico. The staff was really nice and their selection was great. Everything that we had was worth the money and the crowd was very pleasing to the eye.

Beautiful plaza. Lots of businesses. Can be jumping at night (particularly on weekends)

Beautiful ❤️ place to Hang out, Locals offering great Hospitality!! Great Bars and Restaurants also Dance places, Lounges, Clubs ECT. 10 minutes from San Juan you can walk or Uber

The reason I gave five stars is because of the location and the atmosphere and the party life there

This place is incredible. I randomly stumbled upon this cigar shop while heading to La Placita and was intrigued. Inside is a huge collection of cigars, complete with a smoking lounge and fully stocked bar. Sitting outside puffing on a stogie and sipping Scotch was pure bliss! In the evening there was live jazz and a great eclectic crowd. The owners appeared to be in the audience and were very hospitable. Definitely check this place out if you are in San Juan and want a little break from the hustle and bustle!

This is the heart of Puerto Rico. Culture. Music. People. Food. Doesnt get any better!

Offers a wonderful variety of restaurants and bars, but the Mercado itself has a great selection of fresh fruits and veggies, as well as small sections which offer souvenirs and even clothing. Its reminiscent of an old school, in door flea market. Check it out for yourself, Im sure youll find something!!

Kiles my good amigo. Best . Fruits in puerto Rico

Due to the pandemic, everything starts shutting down by 9:30. However this is the scene if U want to bar/club hop, eat/drink in the streets, and/or enjoy a popping scene thats mixed in music and age range. Oooh! And, excellent drink specials.

La Placita de Santurce is a must stop for anyone visiting Puerto Rico. Restaurant and Bar-Hopping in La Placita ... La Placita de Santurce is a hub for great restaurants, intriguing bars, and all-night salsa dancing, also Jazz and regueton

Beautiful market!

Real chill spot where the people dance in the streets & you can eat good & drink hopefully while listening to a live band like we were lucky to experience....Muy buen lugar para comer, tomar, y bailar!

What was quiet shopping during the day became the busy nightlife spot to be at. Great location many places to shop, eat and celebrate.

Awesome square for local dining and brews. Mom and pop shops to support for local fruits, vegetables, and gifts. Theres also a holistic herb and plant shop thats a must for common cures of the body blues.

Very cute area to eat. nice ambiance. eclectic selection of foods. but it closes too early 10pm in the dot. they stop serving well before closing time and kick you out exactly at 10. I went to the 1st lechon food truck by the entrance. they only had 1 item on the menu available and it was yummy. in the back, theres a croquette kiosk which offered a variety of croquette balls with sauces. all were delicious

This used to be the place to go on weekends before the scam-demic. It was fairly busy on Friday night and most of the bars and restaurants were open. I don’t know why but there were about 100 police officers walking and driving through. That was a little off putting because I read they are targeting tourists but I didn’t see them harassing anyone. There was no live music and nobody danced☹️ but some of the bars had music. Hopefully next time we come it will be back to normal.

Arrived later in the evening, the entire placita was filled with so many happy people dancing, drinking, & laughing. We found a bar with chairs and enjoyed the live band, even danced a little salsa too.

Amazing place. Must have on your checklist.

Small and a bit dirty, but fine to visit. Most businesses closed surrounding the market in the daytime

The best. Awesome music, awesome food, many many places to choose your hang out spot or just simply walk around and enjoy the scenery.

If you come to Puerto Rico please don’t miss this place on Thursday Friday or Sunday you will love this place great food music nice people.

Wow what a place.. only went at night at it was nice

Small market store, with old and antique taste of San Juan.Friendly people all around.

Sunday at Placita... great foddie experiences, local food, live music... relax

Whoever played music was an aux god. Good playlist. Full of people and drinks are cheap, mask free living

Love la placita. Lively historical plaza. Great food and drinks for reasonable prices.

Nice local farmers market with plenty of fruits, veggies and local artists. Party scene at night with lots of bars and music.

Very pleasant and vibrant atmosphere. A lot of good places to grab a bite!

Amazing music and food! A must go if you are visiting Puerto Rico!

Had a call here. The food was delicious and the music was banging. Love PR

During the day, this is a simple little farmers market with some serious gems. Fresh fruit of all kinds thats cheap (one of the vendors cut and bagged all our fruit so we could take it and eat it easily), fast food, and other goodies. All cash vendors but so inexpensive overall. The building itself is absolutely gorgeous and surrounded by bars and restaurants.

I went there on a saturday night after reading few reviews and it was amazing. People were dancing and enjoying in the streets. You also have lot of drink options in very cheap rates

There are a ton of tiny bars bursting with people drinking, dancing, and smoking cigars. I dont think there are open container laws, so everyone just kind of mills about, chatting and mingling. Its pretty cool, and the mass of people alone makes this worth checking out. Seemed like an equal mix of tourists and locals, and everyone was so friendly! Also I really liked the avocado statues. The avocados in Puerto Rico are both gigantic and delicious.

We made unforgettable memories at La Placita, cant wait to go back here.

Love this place, nice live music. Bar Hopping is the best.

Great place to go at night, great night life and variety of places, you can hangout the way u like to... Its more of adult place

Always a great time. Good music, good people

Immerse yourself in the local culture and people! Great food and drinks.

Theres a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in this local market. Totally recommended.

Very popular on the weekends. Lots of bars and restaurants. Within a short walk.

Placita isnt for me. Nice tourist area but Parking $7 bucks around quite expensive. Business prices are not good sometimes find better other areas...

Great place to watch the game, out with friends, romantic dinner. Especially if you want to dance and party the night away

Great food they need to know drinks thats the only problem

Always fun, always a good time! Great place to meet up with all your local friends after work or take your visiting guests to. Cheap food, cheap drinks and lively music makes for a great evening. Dont stay past midnite as the crowd gets younger and the drunks come out to play. Have fun!!!

Excelent place for food, drinks, and music.

Adults area, good drinks and food 👌

I went on a Saturday night, it was ok, its not what everyone makes it out to be in my opinion.

Beautiful.... all I can say.

Loved our tour experience here. Bought real fresh veggies and fruits

The atmosphere was great the drink amazing and prices cant beat it any where in the world we definitely will be back

Its not big but you can find a decent amount of fruits, species, and vegetables, there arent many places like this in the island anymore so its nice to see this one alive.

Loved it there, very good choice of life music in different bars, drinks are amazing, people are friendly. The street is crowded and everybody sees to be on a good mood.

A traditional hangout for local latin music lovers which has become a favorite for tourists who want to feel the local vibe. Great foodand drinks, in and outdoors.

Wonderful place where people.gather together and can enjoy with friends.

Great produce. More important: great Mojitos! Any trip to San Juan must include La Placita!

Great atmosphere at night with music, restaurants and bars to have a great time with friends!

Didnt have power when we went.

Make sure you visit at nighttime otherwise its pretty empty! Check out Santaella to eat! Its right by the market and is AMAZING. Super food and cocktails

That is the oldest flea market in the area started since the 1920s. I often but fruits, natural medicine and some turnovers for breakfast! 😀🇵🇷💵

The best time ever!

Love it had a blast with good people I met all over the world

Very peaceful for enjoying caribbean music.

Amazing! Fantastic food fantastic service not to miss out on if youre in the area!

Nice hang out area.

Awesome 👌 place and people

Fantastic. Dress nice to be extra slick

Nice produce,fast food,,pubs,4 star restaurants,el techo,cigar pubs,youre gonna love it

Will find anything you need fresh

Long lines but found everything I needed. yay

A charming touristy, outdoorsy/indoorsy market. Pretty cool decor in the street leading up.

This place is for the hanging out those you love salsa, drinks, and eat at the restaurant near by are all connected to the sound of Puerto Rico latin music, salsa so I invite you on Friday with your mask on to dance the rythm and Saturday night and Sunday night I love salsa..

Best place to chill out with friends

Great place to hang out, cheap prices

I simply love it here, the food, the people, its like being in different dimension.

Great to browse during the day, old school farmers market.

Fun place to visit at night. Lots of bars and people having a good time.

Awesome area outside of the more commercial or tourist-driven areas of San Juan. Definitely worth visiting to see the night-life, but relatively dead during the afternoon. Theres not much in the market itself except for a few produce vendors, a cigar stand and one other hot-food vendor that served bangin empanadas.

Nice place for entertainmemt and social drinking in area...

Wish there were more vendors but great produce selection

It has more business. Hopefully the mayor cant destroy the rest pOf the city

One of the best butchers shop.

Clean and very nice people
