4.6 / 5.0(1,640 reviews)
We arrived earlier than our reservation time and they seated us immediately. The bartender was generous with his pours; the drink tasted delicious and was worth the price. Most places they charge you a lot but there's so little alcohol in the cocktail. Not here. The food was phenomenal! Five course dinner and each course was a full serving. We couldn't eat it all but we definitely tried. This is one of those restaurants that even when you're full, you still keep eating because the food is SO good!! I seriously recommend coming in hungry because this chef will make sure you leave completely satisfied. Nice experience since arriving here. Parking 🅿️ available near to the restaurant. The host is Very nice. We had the best waiter Christopher. He explain the concept, the service was 10/10. thanks 🙏🏽 Christopher!!. Recommend the experience. I went there to celebrate my husband birthday 🎉 and was grateful! The chef design a delicious meal and nice presentation. A uniquely wonderful dining experience from start to finish. Each dish was a feast for the senses and everyone we interacted with was gracious and kind. The highlights for me were the duck mofongo and the “wildcard” cocktail made by the incredibly talented in-house mixologist, Rafael. This was such a special evening and I hope to return someday!

We had a fantastic time at Cocina Abierta, we did the 5-course menu & it was a fabulous representation of elevated traditional cuisine. The wine selection is also great and well priced, and we are very appreciative of Oné who took amazing care of us. We will be back!

We were looking for an upscale experience in San Juan for the weekend and Cocina Abierta delivered without breaking the bank. We did the $85 tasting menu and every dish was exceptional, with the dessert probably being the highlight of the meal. Cocktails were also delicious and complemented our meal well.
