La Mallorquina is a restaurant in San Juan, Puerto Rico that specializes in the making of Puerto Rican and Spaniard food dishes.
It opened its doors in 1848, and most historians believe La Mallorquina to have been the first restaurant established in Puerto Rico. The restaurant's original owners came from Palma de Mallorca, Spain; that's why they named their restaurant La Mallorquina, which loosely translated into English means The girl from Mallorca.
One of La Mallorquina's featured foods is the classic corn-on-a-stick.
