This is one of my favorite Plazas in Old San Juan. Get a coffee at one of the little stands, relax on one of the benches and enjoy the vibrant ambience of Old San Juan. There is a SuperMax grocery store located right at Plaza de Armas, should you need anything.

A fun place to go daytime and in the evening for a wide variety of food and drinks. They sometimes have artesanal markets there or movie nights. Weekend nights are especially fun. The concept is similar to a food truck park with lots of outdoor seating and big fans. Closed on Mondays. Parking across the street inside the garage - first 2 or 3 (?) hours free with validation for a $5 purchase from the 24 hour Pueblo Supermarket. Or you can park behind Lote 23 on the dedicated valet parking lot.
