Definitely try the piña colada , and the paella is delishous! If you'll be here on a Friday or Saturday, be sure to call for a dinner reservation . They have a free flamenco show. It was wonderful!

Leila

Waiters are super nice and helpfull. Chicken nachos are great,not greasy like others I've tasted. Got a free piña colada by using a coupon from a travel magazine from the hotels :)

Alex Benn

Best place for a drink. The bar tenders are the friendliest and most knowledgeable in old San Juan. Great place for day drinking . Ask for Juan. The man is an artist with his bar tending skills

Steph Osmanski

This is the spot where the pina colada was invented by Ramón "Monchito" Marrero in 1954. The rumors are TRUE—this will be the best pina colada of your trip AND your life. ???? well worth the wait

Kevin Gilhooly

Make reservations ! It is a tourist trap - for good reason - so it is not a place to just go on a whim. Staff is great. Try the mofongo . Have a pina colada or two.

Vanessa Santana

Amazing piña colada ! The mahi mahi fritters are delicious. The mofongo de yuca with seafood is really good. The wait staff is always friendly .

Stephanie Tumampos

Little late to check in and put a tip but definitely a must when visiting Old San Juan. Aside from being the place where Pina Colada was first made, I went for the Paella Criolla!

Jamie Papiez

Everything is amazing! The garlic shrimp , the stuffed canoes with steak , chicken and shrimp and their salsa ! So tasty, you'll add it to everything!!!

Jenifer Halili

Best piña colada I've ever had. Also, ordered the pork chop can can and the churrasco , both very tasty!

Zack Sheppard

Claims, along with the Hilton Caribe, to be the birthplace of the Piña Colada . Not sure there's is better than the Hilton's, but it's definitely easier to get to.

Jeff Forbes

One of the two potential birthplaces of the Piña Colada , and they sure know how to make them!

Norman Mackay

We were a table of 8. Everyone was very happy with the food & yes PC is a must.. Good service & very chilled.. Give it a try..

Delicious the Fortaleza steak full of onions , peppers and ham with mushroom sauce

Beth K

Paella for 2 can def be for 3 or even 4! Its sooo yummy. Plus the pina coladas are amazing!

Claire Cruse

Not a huge selection for vegetarians , but one of the two choices -- the vegetables mofongo -- is excellent (and huge). Come hungry.

Stacy

Piña coladas at the outdoor bar were a perfect start to our day! Get a rum floater for an extra kick!

A C

Seafood mofongo was great! Must enjoy a medalla or pina colada here while you eat.

Steven Andreja

Pina Colada 's are great. Try the 151 Pina Colada ! That will get you going! The Originator of the Pina Colada does not disappoint!

Kirk Ruben

Don't know what David C. Was thinking.... I eat here every single trip to PR and the Piña Coladas and food is great. Go for the Mofongo ! But so you know it's heavy and very filling. A+

Mansi Shah

Nice pinacolada !! Yummy! I went for another drink next day!

santagati

Grouper Isleño is to die for. Great service, great for groups . No pun intended.

Stephanie DeDecker

Founder of the Pina Colada ! Be sure to try one!

Cody Gardner

Gotta get the pina colada ! Best in San Juan. Very creamy... worth going out of your way if you're in PR.

Kim May

The pina coladas are made from a locally made rum ! Ron del Barrilito... never been exported & best kept secret... aged 3 years undisturbed in charred oak barrels! Wow.

Devin Weise

So delicious! I got the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce . You have to get the rum cake for dessert !!!!

Elizabeth O'Connor

Mofongo and piña coladas were awesome. PR Delights not so delightful but fair for a lil taste of each fried snack . GREAT service.

Foodiespr

Awesome Piña Colada and snapper filet with rice and beans

Nestor Fajota Jr.

A little bit pricey but the food and service are great! Loved the fried plantain and the mofongo ...

Ben uecker

Mofongo was good. Also they are good sized portions

Gulgun

Pina colada is amazing. Mojito is amazing. And find the Hector in bar . He is so kind and lovely person.

Andy Chapman

Good drinks, nice courtyard setting. Don't try to play with the birds if you like your eardrums as is!

Alissa McCaffrey

If it's your first time to the island talk to Jorge the bartender . He will show you all around your map!

Brad Warren

Best, and first, pina coladas ! Convinced they make them stronger with each consecutive order.

Stefanie Brodie

It truly is the best pina colada (trust a bartender ). Speaking of bartenders , Jorge is great.

Tota Ali

They serve delicious vegetarian fajita & the Pinacolada is a must here!

Jill Cleary

Piña coladas were delicious. Make reservations for the awesome shows they have here! Mofongo made the meal.

Jonathan Rivera

It's no joke when I tell you that the Mofongo is top notch!! Compliment it with a Piña Colada and a slice of rum cake .

Linda Felter

Piña coladas to stay, or to-go. Or both.

Whole snapper , perfectly cooked. Jorge at the bar is a legend
