    The Negroni AM + orange juice mimosa
    Esther P.

    What a cool spot! I wish we would have gone when they had a magic show because that would have taken it over the top. I had a mimosa and tried some of my husbands Negroni and they were both poured super well. Sometimes with spots you fear paying a certain price and it being under poured but you don't have to worry about that here. I can't remember our servers name but she was attentive and quick. The sampler plate was great with really tasty eggs and the French toast was yummy. The restaurant itself has such a magic vibe, they have a stage with odd but magical decor! I feel like Houdini himself would give this place his stamp of approval.

    Very nice place, super nice people, and the food amazing tasted homemade thought my dad was on the grill burger and fries would get again and the pancakes were good too, agua fresca de tamarindo was pretty good as well

    While visiting Puerto Rico, we decided to try out Abracadabra. This restaurant was highly rated on yelp and our tour guide recommended it as well, so this was sort of a win-win for me. Entering into the restaurant was great! We were greeted and sat quickly. The decor was awesome (little bunnies painted on the artwork, tables with globes on it which is also the sugar tin) and our waiter humored me and conversed with me in spanish and my dad in english. We ordered mocha lattes and water to start. My experience in the states with mochas are very hit or miss. Here, they are definitely a HIT! Not too sweet, not too hot, but really just right. I ordered a classic breakfast with french toast for my meal- I wasn't sure what to get so our waiter helped me decide. Par for the course in Puerto Rico, our food did take a while to receive. I do love that you can see everything happening in the kitchen- these are my favorite types of restaurants to eat at. The food came out and tasted amazing. There was nothing special about the food however, it was a size-able portion and just well made.

    Amazing ambiance. Friendly staff. Really good brunch options. Full liquor and coffee bar. Honestly a solid brunch spot in SJ.

    Breakfast

    Everything was marvelous from the food, the drinks and the service. As an out of towner we hit the jackpot with this selection.

    Yes, Gluten Free! Very cute decor inside. No outside seating. I recommend trying to lavender mimosa. It is delicious.! They also do you have a gluten-free pancakes. Made out of almond flour.

    Probably one of the best brunch spots in San Juan. Besides the food being delicious, I enjoyed the decorations as well and the fact they are pet friendly ; and of course, pricing was good, too Perfect for anyone looking to start their Sunday on the right foot

    Went for brunch while on vacation in San Juan and it did not disappoint! Cute decor, great staff, and delicious food all for a reasonable price. Mimosas were tasty, coffee was delicious and the sandwiches were divine!

I also feel compelled to review because we went to this restaurant on the strength of the 4.8 star rating. However, our experience was more in line with the 1-2 star reviews. Building is an old church, we found. I suspected that because of the stained glass around and the layout of dining room. It can get pretty loud in the dining room. At some point early in the service I felt I needed my earplugs. So, I put them in. You order via QR code on the table from your phone. Then.....the...wait....begins. We're seated at 11:18am. Order in around 11:30am. We finally got drinks at 12:09pm (39min). Drinks were really good, had the Ginger Turmeric Shot, Chia Latte, Cappuccino & Passion Fruit Juice. We thought that was a sign of more good things to come. Food arrived at 12:41. 30min later. Now, after waiting for 1hr9min, if the food comes out and it's bangin', all is forgiven and the drop in service is just a small blip in the experience. However... The Food: Chai Pancakes Pumpkin Pancakes Veggie Scrambled Eggs The EGGS were good. But nothing I couldn't do easily in my own kitchen. The Chai pancakes were the worst pancakes I've ever had. Far too much spices added and dry, dry, dry! I had one bite. One. Pushed it off. My wife had the Pumpkin Pancakes. She only had a few bites. "Have some of mine." I tried them. Weird flavor and gummy. She then said "Yeah, I didn't like them, either." Pushed the plate away. Funny that they make you PAY and TIP at the beginning of the meal. So, no matter how good or bad your experience is, they get their money. And this terrible experience cost us $68.00. $68 for breakfast!! Most of which didn't get eaten. There's no incentive for them to improve. And because of that...we will not be back. So the drinks, good. Eggs, good. Everything else WTF?? Oh, I almost forgot, you get your own water from their water station. A filtered water dispenser machine. Which seemed okay at the time. But it's just one more thing that the servers didn't have to do to deserve a tip. Terrible experience. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend. 1.5

We sat down for dinner at 7:45 and did not receive our drinks until 8:20, even though we put in our order as soon as we sat down... and asked politely how much longer until our drinks would come out... twice. Food did not come out for an hour and half, it was cold by the time we got it. Mac and cheese is not great cold. The ribs are extremely overcooked and like eating beef jerky. Drinks were okay, but by the time we got them everyone's cocktails were watered down, as well as the soft drinks. The ambiance was not great either since everyone around us was visibly frustrated by the wait times and lack of service, a table across flagged the waitress multiple times to ask where their stuff was. The food was decent, but again, cold. The wait times were no joke. We wrapped up our 7:45 dinner around 10, simply because of how long it took to be served. Our waitress came to our table maybe 3 times total, we would have to stand and find her to figure out where our food/drinks were. They were also out of a good majority of items on the menu when we tried to order them. Overall I unfortunately don't recommend! Price, service, and food are not great.

This is global techniques blended with locally sourced Puerto Rican ingredients. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome. I was there to celebrate my birthday (a reservation is a must). I asked if I could be seated in a different section of the restaurant, and even though they were packed, they said absolutely and found me a lovely seat in the bar area. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. I suffer from severe food allergies but wanted to experience their tasting menu. My server spoke to the chef directly and then took the time to walk me through every option. I TRULY appreciated that they did not take anything off the menu but rather told me how they could adjust for my allergies. That is very rare and so very much appreciated that they went that extra mile for me. I highly recommend the tasting menu. It's 5 courses and they give you 3 options to choose from, within each course. And for the price ($85), a great value. Everything was delicious but I highly recommend the Breadfruit Gnocchi, Rainbow Runner Crudo, and Criollo Duck Mofongo. Chefs kiss! What I also noticed was, even though they were insanely busy, they didn't make you feel rushed. The invited you to savor the experience - which I did.

They have a lovely outdoor seating area, but we opted to sit inside for the ambiance, which turned out to be a great call. Service was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and gave great recommendations. We decided to go all in on the $85 per person tasting menu. The food ranged from good to very good, and there was a *lot* of it. Standout dishes for me were the ceviche and the desserts, both of which were exceptional. The beef empanadas and breadfruit gnocchi were also highlights. My one criticism is that the tasting menu didn't feel particularly cohesive. We started with yellowfin tuna, moved on to wood-roasted fish, then suddenly shifted into Italian territory with breadfruit gnocchi in a rich buttery sauce before continuing on to beef steak and duck. Individually, many of the dishes were delicious, but together they felt more like a sampler of the restaurant's assortment of dishes rather than a thoughtfully sequenced tasting menu with a clear theme or progression. That said, the quality of the food, generous portions, and outstanding service made for a very enjoyable evening. If you're looking to experience a wide range of the kitchen's offerings, Cocina Abierta delivers.
