   This was such a special experience! The service was exceptional, especially our server Carlos. He was so knowledgeable and was helpful in accommodating my food intolerances (dairy free and gluten free). We were so impressed with the quality and flavors here as well, one of the best tasting menus I’ve ever had, truly. I couldn’t recommend this place more and hope to visit again when we return to PR!

   Cocina Abierta never disappoints! Always bring my friends visiting from the States who are foodies and they come away raving about the exquisite food, service, and ambience. Our server, Michael, made our dining experience fun and personal. Will return again with family and friends. Ida Roldan

   Carlos was extremely helpful, explained the concept and all the dishes in detail. The concept is a prix fixe type of menu in 5 acts with multiple options per act to chose from. The guest can chose the pairing of preference or opt for a pairing experience with carefully selected wines. We had to cut our dinner short due to an unexpected personal issue, however, the servers were professional and set up everything to go in a quick and understanding manner. The menu is well thought out and the service is top notch. I would recommend the wine pairing, which elevated the whole experience. (PS. Try out the Wine Directors/enologist wines, which are out of this world and an unexpected and pleasant suprise)

   We chose Cocina Abierta to end our vacation in Puerto Rico. It was the best choice! From the beginning we felt well cared for by the host, telling us about the 5 course menu. Our host was very engaging and professional, sharing with us the options of each course, as well as the chef’s inspiration for the menu. The food was phenomenal- fresh ingredients and rich flavors that complemented each other well. Definitely go for the wine pairing, and you’ll get an even more satisfying experience. Among the food items to highlight (what not to, really), were the causa, ceviche, and the beef Wellington.

    What a culinary delight!!! Spending our first night in Puerto Rico could not have been better spent than at la Cocina Abierta. If you are in San Juan, you must come. Thank you, Carlos, for your excellent care, and to the Chef, our compliments on your artistry. Gracias!!

    The food was artistic in its presentation and taste. It may have been one of the best meals I have ever had. The service was outstanding. I could not say enough about the experience. I highly recommend making a trip to Cocina Albierta part of your visit to Condado.

    The food was absolutely to die for! The service, excellent. We loved the dinner in 5 acts (courses) as each allowed a choice that was vegetarian. And while I never like to leave a meal feeling stuffed, we did leave feeling like we were going to need something to eat again soon. Our party included 2 who a very conscientious about over-eating and even they agreed that some nice bread to accompany the courses would have been welcome. Quite a pricey meal to leave unsatisfied. That said, we would still recommend as the food was truly next level and the overall experience lovely.

    I wasn't sure what to expect with Cocina Abierta but was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I had the 5-course tasting menu and enjoyed every course. Act 1: The Roma Tomato & Guava Gazpacho and the Fresh Catch Ceviche were both very fresh and delicious. Act 2: We both had the Conch Causa -- make sure to get all aspects of the dish in one bite for the perfect complement of flavors and textures! Act 3: We both had the Spiny Lobster (cashew white bean sauce was amazing!), but our server also recommended the Pastilla as her personal favorite. Act 4: Mofongo was good, but a little bit dry. Fresh Catch Filet with beurre blanc was incredibly tender. Dessert: They had 2 specials for dessert, a chocolate mousse (was a little flat) and a sponge cake with passion fruit puree that was the perfect ending to a well-priced ($75/person) meal. We also had a bottle of Rioja (2010) -- could have used some time to decant but was priced well at $90. The location was perfect, right across the street from our hotel.

    Last minute reservations can be hit or miss. It was a home run. Amazing food, service, drink pairings, atmosphere. I will say the portions were smaller than I was expecting, even for fine dining prix fixe - but I was satiated enough in the end. Every single course was amazing. I think we tried one of everything at our table (it’s only 3 choices per course) so we got to try it all and we’re shocked at how evenly delicious everyone’s dishes were for each course.

    Phenomenal dinner. 5 course tasting menu was superb. Our waitress was a delight and explained the menu choices very well as we each built our own 5 course menu. We did not do the wine pairing but they had a very nice wine selection and we went with wonderful 2017 Barolo.

    Creative, Satisfying Dishes and Hyper-Local Ingredients. Excellent five-course menu. Enjoyed it at the bar solo on a business trip to San Juan. Great value for tasting menu. Not only does the restaurant use all hyper-local ingredients, but the food embodies the best of Puerto Rican produce and seafood expressed in creative, flavorful, and impressive dishes.
