While in PR we were craving some good ceviche - where better to go?! Am I right! Super cute restaurant, it was packed when we went but service was still fast and correct!

My friend and i decided to check this place out because of the 32oz cocktails but what we weren't…read moreexpecting was incredible food. We were the first and only ones at noon after a morning on the beach on a beautiful Friday. Our waitress was sweet and funny and everything came out quickly. I enjoyed my coconut mojito, super refreshing, not too sweet. My friend wasn't crazy about her passionfruit mojito so she ordered el cocotazo coctel and continued to order two more because she was in love. Now to the surprise guest: the food. We honestly only ordered because we were drinking an exorbitant amount of alcohol and needed carbs but boy were we glad we did. The stuffed green plantain was crispy but still soft on the inside, the pork inside was delicious. The fried cheese with guava sauce was interesting, almost reminded me of tofu but we could not stop eating it. The crab wontons were the star of the show in my opinion. Fried pockets were jam packed with a crab salad, topped with creamy guac and sweet eel sauce and I could probably eat 20 in one sitting. I also ordered a mofongo with shrimp in garlic sauce, the texture of the mofongo was soft and creamy unlike most places ive had, which I loved, but the garlic sauce was wayy too salty. That's where they lost a star, but I would definitely make sure to make a stop here the next time im in Puerto Rico

PHENOMENAL This is…read morenot just a restaurant, this is a dining experience. This is upscale elegance in a relaxed environment. 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. Next time you are in San Juan, make a reservation and go. You won't be disappointed!

4.5 stars. Cocina Abierta was one of the better meals of our trip. The food was excellent overall,…read morewith the lone exception being the empanadas, which were simply too salty. Everything else was very well done. The two of us split one order of the five-course tasting menu plus an additional starter, and it ended up being a nice light meal. Had we each ordered our own tasting menu, it would have been far more food than we wanted...something we found to be a fairly common theme with portion sizes throughout Puerto Rico. The standout of the evening was the Criollo Duck Mofongo, which was absolutely exquisite and easily the best mofongo we had on our trip by far. The cocktails were tasty and unique, but a bit small for the price. This definitely isn't an every-night kind of restaurant...the prices are on the higher side. But if you're looking to splurge a little, it's a fun place to do it.

We started out with the papa a la Huancaína and the ceviche de pescado. I must admit that even though I'd been here multiple times, I'd never had the ceviche. Embarrassing, I know. It was very good. Perfectly prepared, imo. I liked the inclusion of canchas, which provided some crunch. The papa a la Huancaína was also excellent. It was my mom's favorite dish. I also decided to order the Pisco Sour, which was good. For the main course, we all went with the saltados (stir fry dishes). My dad and wife got the lomo saltado, my mom went with the pollo saltado, and I had the tallarines (noodles) saltados de carne. As I mentioned earlier, they were all hits. The only one who broke rank was our son. He went with the fish nuggets and loved them. He is coming around to fish, at least in nugget form. As long as they keep delivering we will continue to come back.
