Very disappointed with our experience today. We never received our appetizers due to the error of the server never putting in the order. They did recognize that fact and apologized. The worst part was there were five of us, and every entrée came out at a different time. NOT ONE person got their entrée at the same time. i’m not talking about that. They were just a few minutes apart. I’m talking. They were several minutes apart. We all ate at different times.

An amazing rooftop venue in the Alma Hotel with roof cover, in the event of rain. The food was outstanding and the service was beyond friendly and personable. The pork taco’s, tuna taco’s, watermelon salad and fresh salmon were simply delicious. We’d go back for sure. John, our server, made the evening memorable!

We had a horrible experience dining at Mar y Rosa. Food took forever to arrive. Our dishes arrived at different times. Our drinks would arrive 20 minutes after we ordered them. My friends and I would never go back.

We were in town for eight hours from a cruise on 10/22/2026 between 4pm-6pm to celebrate our 4 years together and 3 years married with a rooftop sunset and some delicious Nuevo Latino cuisine. We ordered the taquito flight, Pincho de Pork Belly, Octopus a la Planxa, a bottle of Aquapanna Still, Mango Rose, coca cola and special Happy Hour drink. We loved the mango rose, the entrees and the appetizers. The still water was also refreshing after a long day walking around the Viejo San Juan and the San Juan Historical Site. It was a great way to end the day before we got back on the ship and headed to our next destination (Haven sight Mall, Downtown Charlotte Amelie, St. Thomas, USVI, USA). I hope your experience here is as great as ours was. Enjoy and Viva La Vida!!

el servicio fue pésimo, nos atendieron y en ningún momento la mesera nos miró , el menú un poco limitado y en ningún momento se nos explicó el menú como para convencernos, lo único lindo fue el lugar que tenía una vista espectacular, lo demás muy malo

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mar y Rosa in San Juan was an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels elegant, vibrant, and welcoming. The rooftop is definitely one of the highlights—the views of San Juan are spectacular and create the perfect setting for a memorable evening. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, and the service made the experience even better. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. If you’re looking for a place in San Juan with amazing rooftop views, great food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere, Mar y Rosa is definitely worth visiting. We had a wonderful time and will absolutely be back. 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended!

FAQs

For a calmer visit, choose a Sunday or a Monday early evening, guests report a very pleasant Monday around 5:30–9 pm and note Sunday evenings (outside brunch) were excellent; if you want the rooftop buzz, weekend brunch and sunset service are popular.

Business casual, aim for neat, polished, and comfortable attire appropriate for rooftop dining.

The Crab Donuts are a recurring favorite, they appear on the menu and multiple guests call them a highlight.
