Barrachina

Great food and awesome service. The drinks were incredible.

everything was great! The food, drinks, service, menu selection, ambiance, and price. We will definitely return

Food was mediocre. Service was slow. Prices were expensive for what you got.

Overrated. All of the food was extremely salty. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. Pina Coladas were good, but not the best we’ve ever had.

This was my second visit there. I went to celebrate my birthday with dinner and the flamingo show. Great food, show and service.

The Pina Coladas are good and not as expensive as I thought they would be. Skip the Paella, it’s mostly rice and meat with bones. Not authentic at all. It was supposed to come with chorizo and when we asked our waiter he brought out a small plate of polish sausage. Overall it was ok for lunch.

Barrachina is very deserving of all of it's high rating. The service was great and the food was delicious. We saved this restaurant for the last night of our Honeymoon and it was wonderful! We tried their famous Pina Coladas (which we don't normally drink), and they were delicious. We sat indoors where it was a tad bit cold as opposed to the cute court yard which was a little humid.

Welcoming, wonderful, delicious... perfect for a big family outing!

Delicious food, outstanding service, &, of course, the pina coladas!

The food was delicious! The pina colada’s were amazing!

Great time again at Barrachina. Milica was fantastic as was the rest of the friendly staff. The food was delicious, hot, and wonderful!

I heard about your famous pina colada and it was my birthday!
Great atmosphere!

A great spot to try out local fare, and the courtyard is wonderful. It’s a bit basic but they do plantains well and it’s a historic spot. Try fried grouper appetizer. It was the best dish we had!

I was very disappointed, we had booked the reservation for my mother’s birthday. And when we got there they told us most of their desserts were out. Our waiter Hector said no to any request we asked even simple ones like splitting the check. Definitely would not recommend to anyone for a special occasion especially coming on a vacation

Went for the Flamenco show which that don't have anymore. Location was 2 blocks away from where we stayed so we just walked down the street. Server was attentive at first but then seemed to disappear as the place got busier. We had the Seafood Paella which I recommend, I had a few glasses of Merlot and my wife had the Pina Colados. Great atmosphere with the Puerto Rican vibe. Don't miss this place when visting Old San Juan.

We visited Barrachina while on vacation in San Juan! We had an excellent time, the service was prompt & friendly, and the mofongo was delicious!

My second visit to Puerto Rico and Barrachina did not disappoint! Can’t wait to return!

Glad we spent our last night in PR here. Was in town for oue anniversary from New Orleans. Delicious food, great ambiance . Felt right at home. Snapper, shrimp, pina coladas were yum

We had a reservation and had 2 hours before having to go back to ship. They could not give us a meal only appetizers during that time. They stated it was not enough time. 2 hours!! Will not recommend. It was apparent they were not prepared to service at full capacity. We had to leave.

Delicious and authentic cuisine from Puerto Rico, famous for originating the Pina Colada. It lived up to its reputation.

Had made an online reservation months in advance because my wife and I would be coming into Old San Juan via cruise ship. The accommodations were 100% on point. The food was outstanding and the wait staff were very friendly and attentive.

Celebrating with my family

Family was visiting PR and this restaurant was on their visitor's guide and wanted to go check it out. I made the reservation for nine ahead of time with the OpenTable app. The lady at the front was very friendly and the guy that took us to our table too. We ordered Piña Coladas, of course, they were good, however they did not impress us much from others we have had before, not much alcohol flavor, but at least now we have tasted the ones from here. The waiter was not too friendly and after he read our order back to us, we told him we wanted two of such dish, instead of just saying ok then is two, he was like well you all were discussing this and that and did not make up your minds and I just wrote one down. It is a really beautiful restaurant and had a good atmosphere. It was clean and cool inside. For us it was a one time place to visit.

Great food and great atmosphere for a special night.

The best pina coladas in the Caribbean. Hands down. They claim to have invented them, and I believe it! And the food is fabulous—I had the coconut shrimp and it was really good. My husband had the seafood mofongo and he said it was also very tasty. The portions are BIG so come hungry!

We took a group of 18 people from a cruise ship, and they all loved it. The service is a little slow, so make sure to allow for extra time if you’re on a schedule, and make reservations if possible. The restaurant is about 15 minutes from the cruise port and easy to find.

Worst service ever ! Food which was brought out about 60 mins after being seated didn’t really matter at that time. I wish there was an option for minus stars

Great food and pina coladas! Good but slow service at times.Highly recommended

Great service by our waiter Hector. Pointed us to the mixed mofongo which was a great starter and finished with a seafood paella that was excellent. Tried the piña coladas that were strong and a delicious. Overall a great restaurant to visit in Old san juan.

We had a lovely lunch the service was excellent
We had frozen mojito’s and piña colada’s
Red snapper hamburger and fried pork

If you visit San Juan and don't eat at Barrachina...shame on you! Seafood Paella, AMAZING! I will dream about that dish forever. And if you want to know what a real Pina Colada tastes like, this is the place. Thank you for making part of our vacation so yummy and memorable. Will definitely be back next time we are in San Juan. Muchas Gracias!

Nice atmosphere, the food was very good, and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend if you want a taste of real Puerto Rican food!

Great food, great service, great ambience, great restaurant.

Food was excellent. Service was good. Nice atmosphere. Home of the original Pina Colada and they were delicious! Touristy prices

Barrachina exceeded my expectations. Since they are known as the place where the Pina Colada was invented, I had expected the r staurant to be much more touristy. The ambient was pleasant and the paella excellent as was the Pina Colada. Well worth the visit.

What a great place. The people & food we're excellent

Wonderful hostess and server

Our table was ready and waiting, staff was very prompt with requests; food came out hot. Great experience; that's why we keep going back!

Food was good but place was pretty empty.

Sadly didn’t live up to the reviews. The pina colada came from a pre-mixer in a rotating icer. Paella was celebrated as one of the best items and the lobster was so over cooked we couldn’t cut it with a knife, it didn’t make the mark. We did hear that many other items were good, however it will probably be a while until we return. The coconut calamari was tasty, server was attentive and the restaurant was busy and clean.

The restaurant is actually quite well put together for a very welcoming ambiance. But the lobster was dry and over priced. The steak and our other dishes we fantastic, we could definitely try this restaurant again.
