El Restaurante Metropol fue fundado en San Juan, Puerto Rico, en 1965 por José (Pepe) Canosa y su esposa, inmigrantes cubanos que se habían mudado a la Isla un año antes. Su concepto de buen servicio a precios accesibles, ambiente familiar y excelente cocina cubana y puertorriqueña fue un éxito inmediato, ganándose la simpatía del público y llevándolo a abrir nuevos establecimientos en toda el área metropolitana. Pepe fue el creador de platos famosos como la reconocida “Gallinita Rellena”, el Montuno Cubano y el Arroz Frito Metropol. Siempre innovaba en su cocina para satisfacer a su fiel clientela, sirviendo la mejor comida a los mejores precios. Este concepto ha sido continuado por sus descendientes, quienes ahora administran los restaurantes.

This restaurant is, without a doubt, one of our favorites in the San Juan mall. The food is always delicious, with very good quality and affordable prices. The service is excellent: both the waiter’s and the manager are extremely friendly and attentive. Since we visit frequently, they treat us like family, which makes the experience even more special.
This place was very good. The prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. I got the Cornish hen and it was so good. The drinks were also priced very reasonably. We also got rice and beans and ceviche and everything was amazing. There is free parking in the mall garage. Would love to come back here!
Outstanding experience at Metropol Restaurant in the San Juan Mall! Wilmarie welcomed us with warmth and made the service feel personal and genuine. The food was amazing—from the crispy ham croquettes to the hearty chicken stew and perfectly layered pastelón de amarillos. The yuca encebollada, pana plantains, and flavorful beans were the perfect touch. Perfectly arranged at the plate with authentic Puerto Rican flavors at their best!
Servers are vert friendly. Help you with the menu and explains whats best match as per your dietey restrictions. Fried fish was very good but fry. Beans and rice was amazing.
The bistec was very tender and flavorful. The gallinita was likewise excellent. The flan and tres leches were the perfect treats at the end of the meal.
Large serving sizes, quality, and competitive prices… for over 50 years, this has been the key to success for Metropol.
Don’t ever leave because you are number one! May Jehova bless you, and all those who work and serve there.
