Barrachina was neither the best or worst restaurant where I've eaten. What it definitely was, however, was a delightful oasis. The patio seating area is tropical and lush. The umbrella tables shade you from the sun and provide you with a view of the bar where they are busily churning out those famous pina coladas. They make a very good... more

Very quaint, lovely restaurant. The pina colada was very good but the sangria was outstanding!! Service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive. We had a lovely dinner. The owner/manager came out and visited with us. more

We went to the location in Isla Verde not in Old San Juan. This restaurant claims to have invented the Pina Colada in 1963 at the original location. The pina colada was the best part of our meal. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food came out pretty quickly. The down side was the food was very... more

I went to Puerto Rico for the first time in September 2008 and stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel. I love seafood so the concierge recommended Barrachina which is in walking distance from the hotel. Barrachina is a quiet romantic mid size restaurant that has a small patio for outside dinning. They have a large variety of items on the menu.... more

Food was great, but it was the pina coladas that will go down in history! We had a nice dinner here with the girls. Appetizers were good, food was excellent as well! We all had something different and shared. Service was good albeit a little slow. Also felt food was a little on the high priced side, but it seemed... more

I went here twice on the bookends of my cruise, once at night to just get drinks and apps, and then the following weekend to have lunch (and more drinks). The Pina Coladas are very good here, and the atmosphere is really nice too, especially outside on a nice day. The service was polarizing for me: the first night our... more

We ate at the Old San Juan location. The food was a bit pricey but delicious!! The best mofongo around! This place claims to be the birthplace of the pina colada. I have no idea if that's true or not but I can tell you that they are delicious. :) more

We visited the one in Old San Juan on February 20th for dinner and drinks. Of course we had to try the pina coladas, which were delicious...but aren't they all when made with yummy Coco Lopez? We were seated right away, and our waiter was really helpful and also really nice. I had seafood mofongo, which was good, with generous... more
