The bes tapas I have ever had. The bartender Luis make the world's best mojitos. We liked this restaurant so much, we went back for a second dinner. We let the server decide what we were to eat and we were not disappointed. The first time there were 6 of us - 2 vegetarians and we all had to waddle... more

We had a super meal here. The black bean/fufu/plantain chip appetizer was entirely delicious and the mojitos were great, and cost $8, rather than the $14 they cost at our hotel. It was enough off of the beaten path to not be entirely touristy and the bill was not terribly expensive. more

By far, hands down THE best restaurant in San Juan. Unbelievable Fufu (mashed sweet plantain) appetizer and the menu choices for entrees are exceptional. We tried the Churrasco steak and it was heavenly! Start the evening by sitting at the bar with Bolivar the bartender, ask him for a coconut martini. Then enjoy dinner in the patio and don't be... more

I had spinach salad, scallaps, shrimps& mufungo and beef sirloin.. omfg. THEY WERE SO GOOD.. and I've been to alot of restaurants in San Juan area... it is reallyyyyyy good.

Most of the food was good, but it was all very overpriced. I've had the same quality food for at least a third of that price. I don't think we had an issue with the main courses. Espresso was burnt. Creme brulee was half filled with hardened chocolate on the bottom that you couldn't even scoop out. Service was horrible.... more

We went to Baru on the recommendation from a couple of locals. It was a pretty slow Sunday night. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was very good. There were two of us and we shared the yucca and goat cheese, shrimp and skirt steak. That was just about the right amount for the two of us. We... more

I went to Baru on a recommendation from my hotel concierge. The waitress talked us into more dishes than we needed, including two dips which were almost identical. Our five dishes came out one at a time with 10-15 minute waits between them. The last dish was cold, so we sent it back and asked for a check. The check... more

My boyfriend and I went to Baru in February of 2008 after an employee at our inn recommended it to us. We parked in Old San Juan on San Sebastian and headed over. We were a little hesitant at first because the prices were a bit on the higher side, but I am so glad we went because it would... more

Good Food and ambiance. more
