    This is such a beautiful restaurant and located in a nice area in old San Juan Puerto Rico. Stopped by after having lunch at Raices and wish i wouldn't have. I wish i would have planned to eat here and another day at raices as the food looked really good. However we came for the Piña Colada and it was good. I will def be returning

    Stopped by for the historic Pina Colada very tasty lots of rum! This is not the commercialized version we all know today but very good. We had great service and enjoyed the visit

    Barachina piña colada

    Service was exceptional. And the piña colada is worth it. It wasn't milky and just the perfect amount of pineapple and rum

    A San Juan tourist MUST DO! Barrachina is where the piña colada was invented and originated from. It is a restaurant as well as a bar with vibrant energy. We stopped by for a quick midday refreshing drink. The piña colada's were strong and tasty! I would be definitely interested in returning for a meal here. The bartender is super direct and friendly and gave some good local recommendations in the area. A very fun stop while exploring San Juan.

    Came here of course to try the famous original pina colada! It was good - but definitely not as sweet or creamy as I am used to for a pina colada (i know i know this is the original!) If you are lucky to get a seat, the patio has a beautiful natural aesthetic, the inside is much more simple. I would recommend grabbing to go since it is busy. Service was nice!

    Great pins coladas!

    Service was friendly & welcoming. Server was great at explaining the menu. The pina coladas were awesome as well as very reasonable. Well worth our visit. We went in the early afternoon & seated immediately. We did not feel like it was a tourist trap at all. Highly recommend.

    While in PR, everyone suggest doing Barrachina to try the original Pina Colada ( or they say) and it is actually delicious and comes with a souvenir glass for $12.95. The surprising part is the food is actually delicious. We ordered numerous appetizers. The long line is mainly tourist and it's kind of weird the way the line is ran and how you are seated but once inside you will enjoy delicious Puerto Rican food. The wings were crispy and outstanding, the cheese croquets are solid. The plantains were pretty good. They could use a little more seasoning in my opinion. The mofongo was outstanding. Neat atmosphere as they had a man playing guitar table side ( of course for tips) The service was pretty good. Nice friendly waitress. Overall a pretty good experience to checkout , not just for the Pina Colada. Overall a nice 7.8 out of 10

    Home of the original piña colada, Barrachina is a must visit in San Juan! We decided to stop by for an app and drinks on a Friday and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We all ordered piña coladas and the corn fritters to share. The fritters were delicious! Perfectly sweet with a tasty spicy sauce on the side. The piña colada's were strong and refreshing! Definitely worth a try!

    can can pork chop and piña colada
    Neida P.

    The food here was pretty tasty i got the can can pork chop and it was huge which i didnt expect but still delicious. With the sides it tasted greet i just kinda wish it had a some sort of sauce. You also must order a piña colada when your there they were very good as well. My friends got the mahi mahi filet but it tasted a little rubbery .

    Entrare!

    Skirt steak mofongo! Excellent flavors like carne asada burrito, but with thick mofongo which is fried green plantains with garlic, salt, chiccaronnes and olive oil. It's thick and I could not finish it. Great location on forteza in an old late colonial building.

    This little hidden gem is amazing. The food OMG that's all I can say 10 out of 10.... We went for lunch service great and staff were very friendly. Family friendly outdoor seating as well as indoor dining .

    The home of the original Pina Colada's est:1963. Great courtyard bar area to try one of the best Pina Colada's in San Juan PR old town district.. I ate here also and the food was a 3-4 stars.. the draw to this place is definitely their Pina Colada's

    Diana H.

    A classic staple in old san Juan. Some may say it's a tourist trap as many go due to it being the birthplace of pina coladas however I believe the food is really good. I tried the sweet plantain boat with shrimp that comes with rice and beans and everything was delicious. The piña coladas were delicious too and our server was very nice. Also the chuleta was mind blowingly large and delicious!

    Appetizers of typical Puertorican food. Delicious

AMBIANCE: Parking: Welcome to Old San Juan, it get get pretty busy - best to carpool or do public transportation. Seating: Indoor seating or private cabana set ups for groups. Room for a total of 100 people. Feels: Welcome to Old San Juan, a mix of touristy and culture. The spot itself is popular for locals and tourists. As for the space itself, what's unique about this spot is this place isn't just one bar. It's actually a series of connected rooms (about 6-7 different spaces), each with its own vibe - speak easy, dance, casual, house, live music and more! I'm surprised each room can contain it's sounds while maintaining its own energy. It feels like a speakeasy maze meets nightlife experience. Dim lighting, vintage touches, and just enough chaos in a good way. DRINKS/EXPERIENCE It was such a fun night, not sure what I ordered but there is an abundance of flavors as every room has different selections. But popular drinks if you're looking for guidance - lavendar mule, espresso martini, a classic mojito. They got the classic to your well-crafted cocktails. Some spots provide food while others is sip and chill or sip and dance. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Fast-paced but solid. Staff keeps up with the crowd and still manages to be engaging. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars! Good choices, reasonable prices, and a vibe like no other. As a gemini that can be quite indecisive, I enjoyed this spot - especially with its multiple options. This is more than a bar - it's an experience. A spot where the night can go longer than expected. TIPS: * Walk through ALL the rooms--you'll miss half the experience if you don't

The…read moreatmosphere and warmth of our initial experience was so great that I made it a deliberate mission to find it again when visiting recently. We were thrilled when we finally walked through the door again after wracking our brains to remember our favorite spot in Old Town. Upon entering, we were greeted by a young woman who, mentioned it was her very first day as an assistant to the bartender. Despite being brand new, she was warm, engaged, and genuinely welcoming, excited for us that we had made it back after several years, and impressed with our efforts. Shortly thereafter the bartender on duty approached us mid-conversation, visibly irritated. When I mentioned that we hadn't yet decided on drinks but were being well taken care of in the meantime, she interrupted sharply to bark at us that she was the bartender and the ONLY one who could help us. The tone was unwelcoming enough that after a moment, my companion and I determined that we would prefer to move on and left without ordering. The atmosphere is truly special, and it deserves to be matched by the experience guests receive at the bar. Our experience was simply not the vibe that night, and I truly was disappointed FOR the new hire who was doing what she should in engaging us until we could be served. I sincerely hope to return on a future visit to San Juan and to rediscover the experience that first brought me back to La Grieta.

There was no wait for a table, but it took a good 10 minutes for the waiter to even come to our table. Drinks took about 5-7 min, which isn't bad. We ordered dinner and the wait began. 20 minutes after we ordered, my wife's dinner came out, but mine didn't. She finished her food in about 10 min, my dinner still hadn't arrived. We waited another 30 min (1 hour after ordering) and my meal still hadn't come out. Our waiter never checked on us, never offered us more drinks, never apologized for the wait. After the hour, I walked up to our waiter and told him we were leaving. They did remove the food that never arrived but they didn't seem the least bit apologetic. For a first impression of Puerto Rican service and quality, I would never recommend this place.
