Named for Audrey Hepburn’s cinema classic Sabrina, this new bistro has become the spot for a girl’s night out or a boozy Sunday brunch. Owned and operated by chef Mario Ormaza, a Jean-Georges alum and owner of Café Tresbé just across the street, the menu offers traditional-meets-tropical fare, like an eggs benedict with mashed plantains and local sausage. The decor is full-on Caribbean chic, lush with colors, textures, and greenery.

Lote 23, or “El Lote,” as it’s affectionately known by locals, exemplifies Santurce’s transformation: This once-abandoned lot has been reclaimed and transformed into a culinary mecca for the hip, trendy, and hungry. The open-air space showcases 16 kiosks from veteran local chefs exploring new concepts, like Raúl Correa’s pizza truck, Martin Louzao’s Peruvian fare, and Xavier Pacheco’s creative tacos. Modern, traditional, and exotic flavors intermingle here: you’ll find baos, fried chicken, donuts, sliders, coffee, cocktails, and more. Picnic tables, community games, and murals by local artists fill the multilevel terraces, keeping in line with Santurce’s funky urban vibe.

The latest venture from chef Jonathan Cruz (formerly with Mere Pescao), Shibō combines traditional Asian and Latin dishes into eclectic, contemporary, and flavor-popping creations: sweet plantain dumplings, miso-mofongo, and kimchi-chaufa are a just few of the innovative hybrids. The casual space prides itself on its Latin-Asian soul food concept, and, indeed, the portions are large and flavorful enough to comfort.

Bocca is the latest venture from the Salvatore brothers (Acapulco Taquerías), and with this Italian eatery the brothers have succeeded again in providing straightforward, soul-satisfying cuisine. The beauty is in its simplicity: Italian fare straight from Rome and fit for purists. Chef Alessandro personally inspects every dish before it leaves the open kitchen, ensuring the freshly made pasta is perfectly al dente and there’s no cheese where it doesn't belong. Some iconic Roman pastas, like amatriciana and carbonara, are mainstays on the daily changing menu — and keep an eye out for handmade gnocchi and some of the city's best tiramisu
