This morning, we experienced a small fire at the restaurant. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the damage was minimal, but it has unfortunately affected our kitchen. As a result, we won’t be able to offer our pernil today.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience, but we’re incredibly grateful it wasn’t worse. Thank you all for your understanding and support during this time—we appreciate you all so much!

We look forward to serving you as usual with the rest of our menu, and we’ll have your favorite pernil back soon. Stay safe, and we hope to see you today!

Our Story

The name "La Marginal" has its roots on a short frontage road off Avenue Baldorioty de Castro in the Miramar sector of San Juan, Puerto Rico. With a spectacular view of the Condado Lagoon and its luminescent reflections of bright lights framing the upscale hotel and residential Condado area across the water, this tiny strip of road emerged as the weekend hangout spot "par excellence" for college students and other adolescents from the early 1960 to the mid 1970's. First simply a relaxing gathering place to spend time with your "panas" (friends) or "jeva" (girlfriend), walking or in your car, it was soon transformed into a full blown party place, attracting food trucks and stands to offer fried foods, sandwiches, ice cream and beverages. Music and singing filled the air. Guitars, boom boxes, clanging empty cans and sticks, all contributed to the ensuing sonatas to which some ion the crowd would dance; a contrasting image to nightclub activities across the lagoon. Today, the strip has been converted into a picturesque pedestrian and bicycle riding track.

With that idea in mind, the restaurant got established in 1987. After it got purchased it got transformed in to a dine-in restaurant. Re-opened in 1999, La Marginal became a casual dining restaurant, offering Puerto Rican cuisine and warm hospitality in an Old San Juan decorated building.

We invite you to visit La Marginal, for the best authentic Puerto Rican food in San Antonio. Experience the taste of Puerto Rico without leaving the city. Our food is always cooked to order using only the freshest ingredients. Our professional cooks have years of experience giving your food the taste of perfection.

Whether you want to enjoy a quick lunch with your friends or a wonderful leisurely dinner, La Marginal has you covered. From fresh mofongos to tasty Roasted Pork, our flavors, variety, and prices cover everyone’s palate. Join us today for the best authentic Puerto Rican food in town.
