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!

t's said that the piña colada was invented at this bar and restaurant. The drink is emblematic of Puerto Rico—pineapple, coconut and rum basically make up our landscape. Read more

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 :)

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

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

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 SantanaDecember 31, 2013
Amazing piña colada! The mahi mahi fritters are delicious. The mofongo de yuca with seafood is really good. The wait staff is always friendly.

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!

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 HaliliApril 6, 2015
Best piña colada I've ever had. Also, ordered the pork chop can can and the churrasco, both very tasty!

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.

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

Delicious the Fortaleza steak full of onions, peppers and ham with mushroom sauce
Norman MackayFebruary 21, 2018
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..

Paella for 2 can def be for 3 or even 4! Its sooo yummy. Plus the pina coladas are amazing!
Claire CruseJanuary 10, 2014
Not a huge selection for vegetarians, but one of the two choices -- the vegetables mofongo -- is excellent (and huge). Come hungry.
StacyFebruary 14, 2019
Piña coladas at the outdoor bar were a perfect start to our day! Get a rum floater for an extra kick!

Seafood mofongo was great! Must enjoy a medalla or pina colada here while you eat.
Steven AndrejaFebruary 12, 2014
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 RubenJanuary 24, 2011
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+
Stephanie DeDeckerApril 19, 2018
Founder of the Pina Colada! Be sure to try one!
Mansi ShahNovember 22, 2018
Nice pinacolada!! Yummy! I went for another drink next day!

Grouper Isleño is to die for. Great service, great for groups. No pun intended.
Kim MayNovember 14, 2011
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.
Cody GardnerMarch 22, 2013
Gotta get the pina colada! Best in San Juan. Very creamy... worth going out of your way if you're in PR.
Devin WeiseJanuary 31, 2015
So delicious! I got the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce. You have to get the rum cake for dessert!!!!
Elizabeth O'ConnorMay 28, 2012
Mofongo and piña coladas were awesome. PR Delights not so delightful but fair for a lil taste of each fried snack. GREAT service.
FoodiesprJanuary 22, 2016
Awesome Piña Colada and snapper filet with rice and beans
Nestor Fajota Jr.July 12, 2014

Mofongo was good. Also they are good sized portions

Pina colada is amazing. Mojito is amazing. And find the Hector in bar. He is so kind and lovely person.
Andy ChapmanJune 9, 2015
Good drinks, nice courtyard setting. Don't try to play with the birds if you like your eardrums as is!
Alissa McCaffreyDecember 27, 2013
If it's your first time to the island talk to Jorge the bartender. He will show you all around your map!
Brad WarrenJuly 1, 2015
Best, and first, pina coladas! Convinced they make them stronger with each consecutive order.
Stefanie BrodieMarch 24, 2014
It truly is the best pina colada (trust a bartender). Speaking of bartenders, Jorge is great.
Tota AliSeptember 10, 2015
They serve delicious vegetarian fajita & the Pinacolada is a must here!
Jill ClearyJuly 26, 2012
Piña coladas were delicious. Make reservations for the awesome shows they have here! Mofongo made the meal.
Jonathan RiveraNovember 5, 2012
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 FelterMay 27, 2015
Piña coladas to stay, or to-go. Or both.
George LevingsFebruary 28, 2017
Whole snapper, perfectly cooked. Jorge at the bar is a legend
