Egg White Fritatta
Alex P.

As the poolside restaurant of La Concha Resort in San Juan, Solera is most commonly visited as the breakfast or brunch establishment. The cuisine is not particularly representative of Puerto Rico, but is not bad. Egg White Frittata is not bad. Avocado toast is decent. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict is one of the better dishes. The best is Steak and Eggs. Sadly the salad was not fresh on any of the instances. Tamarind juice is a great compliment to all dishes for some local flavor. Service front is constantly sporadic, the waitresses work hard, but it seems there are never enough people. So as a whole, Solera is not a place to avoid but it's also not a place to go out of the way for.

Decided to stop once again at Solera after a great experience in the evening but can't say the same for this time. After leaving the pool decided to grab some drinks and nachos, and waited for was more than 30 minutes for a server to stop by our table after I kept inquiring. The hostess passed by us on multiple occasions and didn't ask if we were being assisted. When the server arrives after he was brought to our table he was very unapologetic and proceeded to say that there was a change of shift. So does that mean that nobody gets served during change of shifts? Is this information that the guest needs to know? Regardless we proceeded to order and to receive our bill was another 25 minutes waiting for our server Victor to stop by our table to inform him we wanted the bill and pay. Seems like the evening crew service is superior than the afternoon crew.

Amazing restaurant in the area! Nicely located with a beach view. Lots of great options for food and the service we received was amazing. The food was very very good. Totally recommend!

Salmon
Mandisa N.

Beautifully located by the pool in La Concha resort. We made a reservation beforehand but they weren't too busy. I had to the fish tacos and truffle fries. I liked the fries a lot but unfortunately wasn't too big of a fan of the tacos. Fish was way too dry and the tortillas broke in half as soon as I tried to pick them up. Although there was lime, the meal needed a lot more acidity. My friend got the salmon which she thoroughly enjoyed but unfortunately her stomach did not and she seemed to have a bout of food poisoning the rest of the day. Really unfortunate that we had a lack listed experience. I'd only recommend a drink and some fries while laying out at the pool.

I completed a reservation for 11:30 am, and security blocked me from gaining access to the restaurant. They said they open at noon instead. When I asked why they accepted a reservation and didn't give us heads up on the delay, the answer was the system was broken and that they are there to protect. I wonder protect from what? A client? And so was my experience at Solera. From top to bottom, only some more of that with the exception of Vladimir who was top notch in service. Ambiance on tables by the beach was wonderful.

Sushi, poke bowl and guac and chips.
Yasmi L.

My favorite hotel of all time in PR and the food here is amazing! I'm not sure if it was from being hungry all day and finally getting some food but everything was delicious. The sushi and I believe the (Poké) bowl was great as well. The service was very friendly and attentive from our waiters. With a pool view and outdoors sitting and music in the background you will surely feel comfortable and on holiday ambiance.

The food was amazing, ambience is beautiful, and our server Ariel was respectful and professional.

Caesar salad with chicken
Harper F.

We stayed at La Conche hotel while visiting San Juan. We arrived late at night. We threw our bags in the room and went to Solera immediately after. We came super hungry. The food was good. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken. The price was super steep. We had two salads with chicken and our bill with tip ended up being $80. Not what you would expect for getting something so small.

Spicy Steak
Ignacio G.

An awesome view of the Pool and Beach, nice waiters and waitresses, also, I gotta say, there was a lil' game I could entertain myself with. I ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes for breakfast, couldn't imagine anything better. Don't tell my Dad, but these pancakes are better than his. I came back for lunch to eat a 12-ounce steak with tostones de plátano. The steak was spicy, everything else was good.

Fish Tacos & Parmesan Truffle Fries
Erika B.

Great service and the best fish tacos! We added jalapeños for an extra kick! Definitely a good place to eat while visiting La Concha.

Truffle fries are a go to! Our dinner, wagyu pinchos and burger were great! Breakfast was good but the pancakes are definitely not very fluffy / buttermilk like expected.

Delicious catch of the day with lemon caper sauce!
Erica E.

Delicious catch of the day with lemon caper sauce! Everything we've had from here was good except for the quesadilla. Too much cheese and not toasted enough. Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

I must say that I've noticed that their isn't enough flavor options when it comes to chicken wings here in Puerto Rico. I ordered the wings here. They we're definitely fried well but wasn't seasoned well. The salmon was simple, cooked well. The brocolli only had two pieces. It was more of a garnish than an actual side. The mac n cheese was really light, didn't really taste much flavor. The taco was good.

This restaurant is located inside Parque Muñoz Rivera and has parking available for $4. As we got…read moreout of the vehicle, a young man approached us to escort us into the restaurant, for it was after dark and wandering around this park looking for a place at night could be dangerous. The restaurant calls this "umbrella service", and it is a brilliant idea to keep patrons not only dry, but safe. Upon entering the locale we were enamored of the high ceilings, fans, great decor which mixes old & new, and the great ambiance. We were greeted quickly and the staff could not have been nicer. They explained the menu and available mixed drinks very well, enthusing us to try new things because their explanation was so wonderful. Both the mixologist and the chef deserve kudos here, we had a lovely meal with some amazing cocktails! The place was not crowded, so the chef came by to say hello, same with the owner. We were made to feel like rock stars, just for trying this new place on a whim. I will most certainly return, am recommending the place to friends, and would love to check it out in the daytime, when they have an awesome view of the ocean from their terrace! This place would also be perfect to host any event.

The restaurant location is great with nice views of the park and the ocean. The restaurant…read morearchitecture is very nice with wide windows and high ceilings but the most important factor the food is awful. I had the lobsters egg rolls which were flavorless and no lobster, also had the lamb chops tasted like old meat with a bland sauce. They should get a new chef since it is a very nice place.

Kept seeing a bunch of reviews on how amazing this place was and honestly it's up there…read more To start off, I'm not really a sweets guy so my take is going to be a little off from the general public. We were able to snag a reservation but for a late time which was about an hour and a half before close. The service was super great but one thing I wished they mentioned that the bottled water was going to be a $40 charge lol. Makes sense for any upscale restaurant though. Should've mentioned we wanted tap so fair warning, ask cause you WILL get charged haha. We had a group of 10 and for how big the group was, the food came out pretty fast. I don't think we ever had a time between drinks to entrees where we were waiting for food to come out. We got the watermelons mojito for drinks since it was the most raved about. It was good but personally nothing crazy for me. 8/10 score on that. We also curry popcorn chicken, the ahi tuna lollipops, the empanadillas and the goat cheese quesadillas for apps and honestly overall 9/10. This is where I don't like the sweetness part of this meal. The empanadillas were what I was most excited for but it was more sweet then savory which sort of lose my appetite a little. I think if you like that kind of taste then it's going to be good. It wasn't a bad taste at all. Just too sweet for my liking. The curry popcorn chicken was good and the lollipops were great. Again, nothing crazy. The goat cheese quesadillas was good as well but again, too sweet for my liking. Now on to the entree, they didn't have the porkchop since we came late so I ended up getting the porkchop belly dish. When it came out, it looked amazing but then I got a whiff of it and smelled cinnamon. That's when I was sort of disappointed. It was like eating pork but tasting Cinnamon Toast Crunch and as said before, it tasted great but too sweet for me. This one was way too sweet to where it seemed like a dessert item. I just had poor luck and got one of the one items that were sweet. This doesn't tank the rating down whatsoever because I also should've read it had cinnamon. It would've been great if they made a dipping sauce or something to pair it with and not have it on the pork belly itself. I got to try other dishes my friends got which were good as well but I wish I got to try something else. If I came back I would try the sold out item which was the pork shank or the sea bass. I know for a fact the sea bass was amazing. Had a bite of it and thought "I'll come back for that" Overall, 10/10 experience and nothing bad about the place but gotta try different items when I go next time. I understand the hype now

This restaurant was a must-try after seeing everyone rage about it online, and it definitely lived…read moreup to the hype. Out of all the restaurants I visited in Puerto Rico, my friends and I came to the agreement that this was definitely the best one, and I can't believe we almost didn't come! To start off, the staff is super nice and made us feel welcome. I may be biased because one of them complimented my "gracias" (lol) but they were accommodating and patient as we had a hard time deciding what we wanted to order, since everything looked so good! The pinchos de atun was a must-try since everyone online was talking about that dish in particular, and it was AMAZING. The tuna is so fresh and complimented so well by the sauce and the rice cracker. The ceasar salad was flavorful and a great addition, since we didn't have much veggies at that point in our trip. And the sea bass!! SO tender and delicious. We also got the perfect lady cocktail and the guava & cheese bread pudding, and both were perfectly sweet and balanced out the rest of the meal. Everything about this place was amazing. The inside of the restaurant is very pretty and it's located near La Placita, so easily accessible to the nightlife if you want to party afterward. I will definitely be recommending Santaella to all my friends and coming back if I visit San Juan again.
