Gustavo Pinheiro: Chef argentino, influencias peruanas com ingredientes porto riquenhos make Cocina Aberta a fantastic glocal dinner set. Authentic and modern. Casual and sophisticated.
Crystopher Ojeda: One word: overrated. Maybe for those who haven't taste authentic Peruvian food would be ok, but for me, a Peruvian food lover, this is disgusting. The Causa was very dry and flavorless.
Ken Schmidt: Everything I've had here I recommend and I've had about 75% of the menu. Muy bien!

katie nagl: amazing, authentic food adventure in san juan. everything is delicious but definitely don't miss the house made longaniza sausage. i'm still thinking about it. also, opt for the chickpea rice.
Ms Helene: Went in Saturday night at 7.15 and waited 1.5 hours but it wasn't full. Whole fried fish with papaya avocado salsa $36 and delicious. Felt local and authentic. Very casual restaurant in La Placita.
Michelle A.: So good we ate here 2 nights in a row. Everything is good and the menu rotates so you get to try different things. The standouts are the bolitas (fried cheeseballs) and the whole fried fish.
