Barcino - Santolan Town Plaza — Restaurant in San Juan

Several parking options which you can read from my review of Alta by Relik. The place is clean and well lit. The interior is really nice. I even like the table mat even if it's just paper. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, although they are a little under manned for the breakfast crowd..well not really a "crowd" in the morning, but still.

Amazing Service & Delicious Food at Barcino Santolan Plaza

I recently dined at Barcino Santolan Plaza, and I have to say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations, from the tapas to the paella and, of course, their signature sangria.

He gave great recommendations, checked in on us just the right amount, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. His warm and professional approach really elevated our dining experience.

If you’re looking for great Spanish cuisine paired with top-notch service, I highly recommend Barcino at Santolan Plaza. Make sure to ask...

Barcino is my go-to place for paella (especially black paella), cheese, and wine. It's perfect for dinner dates-- but the special thing about this branch is that it's homey -- making it perfect for luncheon as well -- since Santolan Town itself is considered a weekend mall, thereby making the entire compound homey. It offers outdoor dining as well, if you are uncomfortable dining inside. The staff are friendly and accommodating -- I just think that they're either understaffed or the architecture of the place is a little off, because the bar sort of separates the restaurant into two wings, making the far wing less visible to the staff. I had to stand up several times to call the servers. Other than that,...
