This spot is amazing, good service and kept coming even though we are by the beach so we are a little far. There is QR code on the tables and they give you paper menu because of Covid. We asked for a bigger table since we are a party of 6 and they accommodated us fast and out two tables together. They are so nice and fast with amazing food. All the food was amazing and they came with covers on it since we are outside which was good. The fries were seasoned and warm. They kept coming to check up on us. I love it!! read more

I ate here twice with my girlfriend on a recent trip to Condado and stay at La Concha. We were more than happy both times. We had fish tacos, pork sliders, Latin sliders, quesadillas, yuca fries and all were very good. The Latin sliders, fish tacos, quesadillas, were especially good. The yuca fries were some of the best I have had, ...although I have not had a ton. The beer was cold and I quaffed a few Medallas poolside here. Ruby was our waitress on our first visit, she was exceptional and super nice. I would eat here anytime I was enjoying the pool or beach at La Concha. Buen provecho! read more

Solera is the poolside tapas restaurant with a full bar at the La Concha resort in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We ate dinner here twice during our vacation in San Juan. And honestly, one of the best meals I had in Puerto Rico was at Solera. It was the mahi-mahi tacos served on naan bread, which are a wonderful fusion of Caribbean, Puerto Rican, and Indian foods. I also visited Solera occasionally to grab night cap cocktails to bring back to our Cabana at the resort. My wife loved the Condado Tropical cocktail and I liked the mojito. Solera is a fine establishment that blends perfectly into your surrounding at the resort and perfectly compliments vacation. read more

Most things on the menu are pretty average and are expensive for the area. But, if you're staying at the hotel, it's super convenient and the service is pretty great. Best recommendation I can give, though, is to GET THE GRILLED OCTOPUS. read more

Let me start saying that our first waiter was a disaster. The looked like he did not want to be working or serving anyone. He gave us waters and never returned to ask for our drinks, when we inquired what was going on they changed our server... and HE WAS AWESOME. Super attentive, friendly, we ended up have two champagne bottles and lots of food. Food was delicious. The ambiance by pool is very relaxing. Worth every penny. read more

Solera is a what I would consider a standard pool bar that serves the usual suspects of small plates and drinks. There's nothing better than munching on some apps with a nice cocktail while poolside on vacation, and that's what Solera provides. The food at Solera is nothing special. I had the sliders which were just ok, and the Caesar salad which was also just ok. The drinks were standard as well with nothing really standing out from a taste or quality standpoint. The service however was pretty good. Keeping this one short and sweet as there isn't much else to say here. Solera is good for being poolside, but otherwise, definitely worth getting out of the hotel and trying other local places. read more

Overpriced and food is just average. Ambience is good if you want to go there for drinks.

CHECK YOUR BILL. My boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner here tonight - if I had rated on the food alone, it would have been 3.5-4 stars. The service was a bit slow as others have noted, but not horrible. What was completely unacceptable though was the $10 hike-up on our bill AFTER we received the check. When we received our bill, it was $82 - and we handed our card to the waiter to pay the bill. I noticed he walked towards us three times after we gave him our card and kept turning back to the register area, which was weird, but I thought he might have been forgetful and forgot to swipe the card and had to turn back (...three times). When he handed us the bill back with our card for us to sign/tip, it was swiped at $92. My boyfriend and I were confused as to where the $10 addition came from, and the $82 receipt was nowhere to be found when he handed back the receipt to be signed. We walked over and asked what the extra $10 charge was for - and he said he didn't know. He didn't seem too concerned until we asked him if he would like us to just subtract the $10 from his tip: that got his attention. He then showed us on the computer screen that our bill was in fact $82, and he had no idea how the computer automatically added the $10 -"See it's right on the screen!" Right. The waiter then voided our bill and re-charged us at $82, but I'll certainly be checking the credit card statement as both waiter and manager didn't instill confidence in how they reacted. This is a huge hotel, and I doubt once the drinks start flowing guests generally don't notice a few dollars added here and there. $10 isn't a lot of money, but I wonder how many checks at this place end up with "computer errors" of the like - and if it's actually instituted by management. I'd recommend the food, but I highly suggest looking over your bill both before AND after you pay. read more

Went here and took pictures after I walked the beach taking a couple of shots. I love the whole scenery. Beautiful ppl, even a sushi bar too! The drinks, well my drink was good can speak for everyone lol. But the steak sliders was ordered and they were good, even better with this spicy sauce one of the bar tenders suggested. Had my mouth watering literally.. I have to go there again.... Before I leave... read more

To the unknown, Solera is a restaurant at La Concha Renaissance. Menu is not extensive but food is decent... for a poolside bar and grill. Service is excellent at Solera (and the hotel). They will bring your drink in a plastic cup to the pool so you don't have to get out for enjoying it. I probably ordered and gulped buckets of Medalla (local beer) being in the pool; not poolside. A biiiiig 'Like". Since this was my first trip to PR, I can't comment if its a normal practice in other resorts as well. They also have a dinner menu for late evening and nice seating area with large couches which is a great place to relax on hot and humid evenings of San Juan. Cocktails are kindda pricey but being a tourist destination everything is a bit marked up. Although I will strongly recommend their classic mojitos. They make it fresh with real ingredients and not from a mix! If you are staying at the hotel, enjoy your morning/afternoon drinks and food here. But not worth an exclusive trip. read more

worst. place. ever. rude obnoxious pretentious place. total lack of customer service. made reservations & did not honor. was lied to by christina who said she was going to get into the restaurant inside the la concha hotel & never showed up. had large fake pseudo bouncer guy be a jerk. was bullied by & surrounded by 5 men for 2 petite woman. don't waste your money there! read more

Another whatever hotel, way overpriced restaurant. This is supposed to be a Pool restaurant, something to grab snacks, a drink, maybe a light lunch... But if you do this, it's going to be hard to have budget for anything else. I mean $50 for a cheeseburger and a beer by the pool... Nah! Also, they need more staff walking around the pool, it was very hard to get somebody to place an order. I have to say our waiter (Vladimir) was A+, excellent service from him, specially considering what he had to work with. This hotel really need to level up their restaurant standards. read more

My poor elderly 65-year-old mother was ill all weekend from this food. We ordered from this place every day and my mom was throwing up nonstop we had no idea it was food poisoning she even Lost her teeth dentures we called the manager and she acted like she didn't speak English meanwhile she asked us how our meal was and where we were from when she walked by 20 minutes earlier thank God one of the nice housekeepers looked through the garbage for us and found them and let's just say it was five bags later we tipped her well spoke little English but real good genuine person....but I would never spend a penny there again nothing is authentic Side note: we saw the same women manager who was NO HELP on the beach patrolling in her work uniform charging hotel guest for chairs and towels that are supposed to be included in the amenities One of the guests next to us asked for a receipt and we overheard her say the machine is broken read more

We ate lunch at Solera twice while staying at La Concha, and also stopped by a few times for drinks. The food was better than a hotel restaurant's needs to be, without being great. Of the two lunches I had, I thought the steak wrap was better than the chicken sandwich. The french fries were hot, salty, and good. Everything was overpriced. In terms of drinks, my favorite was the red sangria--even though the waiter tried really hard to get me to switch to one of their white varieties. I can only guess why he was so invested in my sangria color choice. Solera: A-OK, but probably a pass if you're not a La Concha guest eating there for convenience. read more

Really great drinks. Pretty pricey, but the location, atmosphere & drinks are worth it. read more

When my aunt and uncle joined us in PR to help celebrate my husband's 40th birthday, we were at a loss for where to take them out to dinner AND be able to enjoy the outdoor jazz festival going on next door. Solera proved the perfect location. We had a table right next to the zero-entry pool, and coupled by the live jazz in the park right next door and the restored 60's design of this hotel, this was a hot little setting to kick off our week-long trip here on this beautiful island. Baby1 enjoyed her run around the pools and views out onto their beach during our dinner (to my aunts chagrin, as she was not anticipating exercising so much that evening as she chased her around). Baby2 enjoyed Solera's sushi inventions. And Hubby and I enjoyed the fabulous and elegant setting in the early evening of our Saturday night. We also loved the all-white "uniforms" that all the servers wore that matched the all-white surroundings of La Concha. Go, lounge, eat, drink. There can't be a better combination than these four factors in this hip hot environment. read more

Loved this poolside grub . Everything was good . Food is a tad pricey but that was expected. I enjoyed it. Get the Mahi Mahi Chicharonnes ! read more

This place defines hospitality. Carlos was our server for my stay in La Concha and he is the reason that I would be back to this hotel. He was on top of everything, super informative and made us feel right at home. The drinks here are great and the food was awesome. read more

We loved our stay but the food service for us wasn't the best. They have QR code's set up for you to order from but two times in a row the waiter forgot about us and just said "sorry no one sits in the tables much". Not a good reason to not be served? Currently waiting for them to serve us again and it's been over an hour and a half and once again we have been forgotten . read more

Average hotel/pool bar food. Everything comes with fries (wish they had options here). The steak is quite good (the wrap is tasty but either way is good).. I also have enjoyed the chickens Avacado wrap and the quesadilla. Drinks are great- but SUPER expensive. Wish they varied the menu each season. Literally the same menu as last spring! read more

Family of 6 food poisoned service was horrible unless your a tourist no churrasco in the quesadilla ....maybe that was a good thing couldn't leave our hotel room for 4 days waste of our trip were from rincon should have stayed home! If I I could delete that only Star I would ! NO STARS read more

My husband and I are staying at La Concha for our honeymoon so of course we only felt it was right to have a late lunch/dinner at Solera. The food was great and the waiter was friendly. I did get a sense that the waiters seemed a bit "all over the place". I order the skirt steak and was asked what I wanted on the side to however, I did not received what I asked for. I must say I was happy with my meal as well as my husband who ordered the wings. A bit pricey but your in San Juan so it's a bit inevitable. read more

Good food and great service. Had Rubio for our waitress. She was great, sweet and funny! I had the chicken avocado wrap with side salad. All great. My husband had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Everything was prepared and presented perfectly. This was lunch by the pool. Would recommend! read more

Poolside guacamole and edamame? Yes please! Edamame was $7 for a mediumish size bowl with the perfect amount of sea salt sprinkled on top. My husband and I also shared the guacamole with root vegetables which I believe was right around $10. It was a perfect light lunch. Haven't had a drink poolside yet from here but they look delicious! Maybe tomorrow I will splurge for a poolside piña colada? read more

Terrible service, extremely slow even though it was not busy. We waited for 30 min for cocktails, definitely not the place you want to go to relax and have some drinks. Our waiter Jose was very unprofessional even though we spend a lot of money... They definitely killed our vibe!!!!! read more

Way overpriced hotel pool bar. We had to flag down our waiter after he ignored us for about 30 minutes. All we ordered was a single round of drinks and were there for over an hour. Not worth the time or effort read more

Truly as good as it gets. People complain about prices but it is totally worth it for the quality and deliciousness of the food and the wonderful and attentive wait-staff. Hector, Ricardo and Jose are the highlights--my entire family absolutely loved them--attentive, full of advice about our stay, and always had a refill ready! The food is amazing too. The frozen mojito was my favorite. Latin sliders, the burger and Peco's steak wrap were the most amazing things. It had us go back almost every day for lunch (we stayed 8 days---we totally splurged!) read more

This place gets 4 stars just for its setup, the ambiance, and its location. However, we never got to eat here because there was no way of getting the attention of the waiting staff. Service was haphazard and was quite quite slow, particularly because big groups were in the restaurant. read more

Try the skirt steak tapas on top of the plantains, very good. The skirt steak entree for lunch is also very good and worth the $16. The service is great and food is tasty. The ceviche here is okay, not the best. read more

Solera is pretty good for a pool bar. The food is good, especially the burgers. They also offer a nice blood orange vinaigrette with the salads (the seared tuna is a must). Just watch out for the Mojito pitchers, they'll set you back a pretty penny. Unless you can expense them, in which case I hope you're picking up the next round! read more

The location is great, since it's right in the pool area of La Concha. I was a little frightened by the few pigeons that were roaming around, but they didn't really bother us. The landscaping was beautiful and made for very nice scenery. In spite of the prices, I really enjoyed my food and drinks. The menu was very limited, but I decided on the chicken avocado sandwich, which is something I'd probably never try at home. It was very tasty. My husband is a picky eater and the menu didn't interest him much, so they made him a regular grilled chicken sandwich, which worked fine. The bartender made some really good long island iced teas, and an amazing patron margarita which kept me tipsy for a good 6 hours. read more

My second meal in San Juan was poolside tapas dinner. The food was tasty and presented nicely. My son went with the Island Roll (sushi). I went with the seafood paella and the house cheese and smoked sausage plate. One again my son was happy and stuffed with choice. The paella was overly salty but good. The cheese and meat assortment was exactly what you would expect at a tapas bar. Good and filling. A little on the expensive side but the service was over the top and friendly. read more

Not a terrible place to grab lunch if staying at la concha. It's near the pool, it's convenient. Shrimp salad was really good. The chicken avocado wrap had some slightly undercooked chicken in it which made me concerned...didn't get sick so we're in the clear, but still...that thing should've stayed on the grill another 5 min. read more

Best sliders in town! Nice cozy bar and great garden tables by the pool area. If you are in the neighborhood...

I decided to get their angus beef burger here. I thought it would be something special since it costs $15, but it was just your average burger. Pass on the burger. read more

We have eaten here 3 times already this week. Lunch has been delicious, Latin burgers and cheeseburger are out of this world. Hector and Ricardo have been wonderful, Hector gave us wonderful tips on what to see while in Puerto Rico. Service is very attentive, very upscale. Love this place, will be eating there a fourth time for sure! read more

Prices are steep but it is a resort poolside restaurant. Watch out because some of the drinks are just way too sweet. The burger is amazing and the fries are awesome - I highly recommend dousing them with the pepper sauce on the table - the flavor is awesome and doesn't overwhelm with heat. The star of their menu, to me, is their creamy onion soup with bacon and truffle oil. It's just available at dinner and it's amazing. read more

This is a hotel bar. As such, our food was pretty decent and the service was fine but, as can be expected, it was overpriced. The menu was pretty extensive and varied too, which was more than I expected. If you're close by or don't want to deal with going out, this is an A-okay choice. read more
