P. 3</ref> The restaurant's original owners, Antonio Vidal Llinás and others, came from Palma de Mallorca, Spain; that's why they named their restaurant La Mallorquina, which loosely translated into English means The Woman from Mallorca.
Puerto Rico's first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, was also one of the famous people to visit the restaurant.<ref>San Juan: memoir of a city</ref>
