Cocobana

We had the vegetarian special of the day (rice & beans, stuffed eggplant, salad, soup, with fresh juice) and it was excellent. We really enjoyed it and it seems to be a popular place. Google Maps told us it was on the other side is of the (busy) street – it’s right across from McDonalds.

Went here twice on my recent trip to Puerto Rico. Amazing smoothies (Batidas) and excellent food. They only seem to be open for lunch so be sure to stop by if you have time.

One of the best vegetarian restaurants in San Juan. The food is delicious and it varies each day. Im kinda obsessed with their shakes too. Go there now!

So fresh, so healthy! Friendly staff too. I got the falafel burger and while I’m a sucker for a side of fries, the tortilla chips with fresh greens that came as the side did not disappoint! Mango smoothie was on point as well. The place was busy, but not pacled for Friday lunch. Buffet looked great as well, as that’s what I noticed most people were opting for. I feel great about what I ate at Cocobana :-)

WOW was all I could say after taking my first sip of the watermelon basil lemon juice. My sister had the lemon ginger juice and reacted the same. The food was just as delicious. Everything was so incredibly fresh, my taste buds were in bliss. Staff was friendly and accommodating, prices were fantastic for the quality of food. I wanted to try everything on the menu, which was abundant with an amazing variety of smoothies and shakes. Will def stop here whenever I’m in the area!

Great food and service! The lunch special was $ 10, including entrée, soup, salad and Te (with smoothie $ 13). Loved it!!!

Excelente comida, servicio y a un precio bien accesible! Y lo mejor de todo es que es saludable. No guilt comfort food!

Went here for lunch with a friend and ordered the lunch special. Delicious soup, eggplant dish, rice, and salad, plus a frosty smoothie for $ 10. Can’t beat that! It was super yummy!

Great little place close to the airport. Stopped first on our trip. Delicious veggie burger. Falafel burger is good. Café frappé to go to wrap it up.

Love the veggie burger and the eggplant lasagna dish. Both vegetarian and amazing! Good for the price in the area especially on vacation. Value for money with the NOM NOM NOMS!

Excellent food, very inexpensive price. We had lettuce wrapped rice and peas with sautéed potatoes, along with a soup (squash curry) and a shake for less than 10 bucks. Very creative and tasty menu.

friend took me here after gym. i was super skeptical since my fav word is ‘steak’.

— friend and i got the special of the day: MALANGA ROOT PUREE STUFFED WITH EGGPLANT. had curry seasoning. on top tasted like chimchurri sauce. with julienned lettuce and carrots on side and seasoned rice. kinda reminded me of indian or thai seasoning. also came with choice of onion soup or lima bean soup. the onion soup was tasty, but i was so hot from the walk, that hot onion soup didn’t make sense to me.
— ginger (freshly squeezed)/homemade coconut milk shake: deelish. altho, after lunch, had symptoms of having had dairy (lactose intolerant) so wondering if the shake also has cow milk in it? will need to verify next visit
will come back and try daily specials and maybe visit on fridays to get meat.

Great lunchtime spot for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who wants to have a healthy meal. The inside is interesting — definitely very casual and a mix of different random décor… It was a little unclear whether you should seat yourself but a waiter waved is to a table after a minute or two. Food was really delicious. Mango/​coconut milk smoothie was amazing and entrees, falafel burger and hummus wrap were very good. Each came with chips. Also had the special which was a pumpkin soup. They had a buffet for $ 13 but didn’t try that this time. Definitely hope to come back!
*they have free parking available by KFC

This restaurant is the best choice for fresh, original, and succulent dishes. This lively happy restaurant staff takes so much pride in delivering food that will bring a smile to your heart. I loved every single thing I have on the menu from soup to entrees to dessert. Oh did I mention that this is a vegetarian restaurant I almost forgot. The portions are amazing the flavors are original. An absolute must when in Puerto Rico.

One of the best Lunch Places in Town! They have different Lunch Specials everyday. The whole crew is amazing and they make the best shakes and infusions!

First time visiting. Way cuter inside than what I thought it would be. Smelled amazing. Service a bit slow. Everything in the menu seemed good, but had the special. Which is great, for $ 8.50 had pastelòn made with carrots and garbanzo and other stuff, basmati rice with some stuff, salad with a hreat vinnagraitte, onion soup very fresh no cheese and a ginger and some other stuff iced tea. It was a great amount of food and very tasty.

Delicious wraps and sandwiches here. Plentiful options for vegetarians. Really yummy shakes made with coconut water/​coconut milk. Prices were extremely reasonable and lots of places to sit and spread out whether in a small group or with a lot of people. I much preferred this place to the trendier taco stand down the road… I will be back!

Oooh How I dream of Fridays! Their banquet is always so yummy! Portions are really nice and so are the daily specials during the rest of the week. Healthy and tasty food. Yes, their menu is mostly vegetarian and I believe they only serve meat on Fridays, but I’ve never felt like my plate lacks protein even though I’m a meat lover. Love their Ginger Lemonade and shakes! The girls are always nice, but don’t expect speedy service. I usually go when I have time to sit back and relax.
There aren’t many vegetarian options around, so give it a chance! You won’t be dissapointed!

Excellent alternative if you are game for a healthy dish. Don’t be fool, you won’t be bored by tasteless food here! I’ve been there several times and never left disappointed. Try the spicy eggplant pizza if you are feeling adventurous. I loved it!
Space to grow in the service department. They need to get organized, more attentive, and better their costumer service if they are here to stay (and I hope they are). The place is becoming very popular, so it’s getting crowded by lunch time. To be specific, I’m talking about waiting time to be acknowledge, politeness, menus, and follow up after food is served.

I had the Almond Ginger Shake and it was the most delicious shake I’ve had in a really long time! You have to try it!

Ironically right in front of a McDonalds you’ll find the healthiest AND most delicious meal around. Cocobana has a fabulous daily lunch option (around $ 8) and you can upgrade it to include a delicious juice, tea or shake, yumm. All shakes are made with homemade coconut milk. Although mostly vegetarian, on fridays you’ll find a wonderful lunch buffet with salted codfish (serenata de bacalao) that’s pretty f’ing good.
Oh, did I mention the shakes?!! Try the ginger coconut one and you might develop an addiction… they’re not as bad as you’ve been told.
