Bar Gitano

Bar Gitano, a Spanish Tasca located in the Condado beach district in the heart of San Juan, is the latest project from Chef Roberto Treviño and business partner Francisco De Juan of Out of this World Restaurants.

With its ample bar, al fresco Terrace and magnificent dining room, the duo created a space that seems plucked out of a traditional Spanish city. Its rustic décor of brick, wood and artwork depicting castanets and bullfighters lends a truth of Spanish culture.

The menu consists of 21 authentic & original Spanish tapas, an assortment of Spanish cheeses & cold cuts, Cocas, which are small pizzetas, all accented by a variety of Paellas.

"we were in town for a bachelorette and were all craving some fun and shareable cuisine. there were a couple foodies in the bunch and a vegetarian and everyone had plenty to choose from. our waiter suggested amazing bottles of wine that were right in our "not too expensive" price range and we each took turns ordering tapas and everyone of them was extremely tasty. we all recommended this restaurant to other guests we met at our resort - so if you are in the area definitely check it out. we were only disappointed when we found out the flamenco dancers were not scheduled for that night."

"Went on May 5 and the place was hooping when we got there, but they honored our reservation and seated us right away. Had a very enjoyable meal, even got to taste a few extra items that were served by mistake. Being a Sunday there was entertainment beginning at 9 and Flamenco dancer added at around 9:30."

"Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. The food was delectable - good sized tapas of ample variety and drinks were very good - tasty margaritas and sangria. The service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was good,not great, but the incredible entertainment made up for it. On Sundays the restaurant provides entertainment - flamenco music and dancing. What a show! The music was envigorating without distracting from the meal and the dancers were excellent. The first dancer entered from the back of the restaurant swaying her way to the front, incorporating two lit torches in her dance - Definitely exciting. The show brought the house down. Everyone was clapping and having a great time. I can't wait to go back."

"Great place for tapas - we had the fish tacos, mushroom pizza, manchego and chorizo spring rolls and sesame crusted shrimp. We ordered three tapas to begin but the server suggested four or five for two people. We added in the pizza which was a big mistake! The portion sizes are generous and three tapas would have been plenty. We were stuffed.
My only complaint would be the wine by the glass - it all tasted like cheap wine. Next time I'd order a bottle of the good stuff. A few wines from other countries other than Spain would be great."
