¿Que ma' tu quieres?

El Vino Crudo is located in the heart of Old San Juan - la Calle Fortaleza. We are nestled in a building from the 1700s, displaying the timeless aura old world charm. Our goal is to provide quality wines from around the world and a warm ambiance to have fun with them. The wine we represent is real, from wacky and eccentric to laser focused and refined, always sourced from growers who follow organic and biodynamic farming practices. Wine is meant to be made without intervention and it is meant to be enjoyed.

**Please note, our kitchen closes at 10pm from Wednesday through Saturday and at 9pm on Sunday.**

    Hands down the coolest restaurant and bar in SJ. Impeccable food and wine choices in an amazingly designed space. This place would be a must in any major city in the world. Consistently brilliant.

    The vibe was really great, felt young and cool for a restaurant in old san juan. The food was good. Very simple but good ingredients. The one downside was it was incredibly expensive for what was served.

    Amazing and inventive natural wine selection paired with lovely small format food in a well-designed, smartly minimal space. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely recommend for a wonderful evening meal or just a few glasses of wine.

    This is a great wine bar! We had all the late night (only??) food options and they’re fine. The wine selection and ambiance was great. Would definitely recommend coming for some entertaining. Go to a restaurant if hungry and stop by after. The bar and serving staff were great. All appreciated!!

    Great wine and food. Asked for a dinner recommendation from staff at the bar and got kind of rude vibes like we were just dumb tourists. Didn’t love that. Felt uncomfortable and left.

    Quite a wine list, a more restrained food menu . . . and they're proud of every bit of both. Food and wine we had were good (not great - a bone in my lamb ragu could have been problematic had I been chomping with more gusto); service was good and friendly. Despite the cheery attentiveness of the staff, this was my most disappointing meal in Viejo San Juan: the pappardelle were just fine (pleasantly al dente) but the ragu itself was tragically bland. Dessert was tasty but not memorable and that's not the point of supper, anyway. Also, you have to collect your check and pay at the bar for some reason - strange. Edited: the owner called me as soon as she saw my three-star review. She was very troubled by the issues we'd had and offered recompense (I declined - not at all necessary) since an "average" review is far out of their ordinary (raves). She explained their building's funky WiFi necessitated the payment at the bar and said it should have been explained, but that it was an unusual night - Valentine's Day - and they'd only opened that night (usually closed Tuesdays) because of the holiday. She said she would have replaced the pasta had I mentioned the bone (certainly true, but I don't send things back and it wasn't a big deal - just not expected). I'm impressed with Management's responsiveness and am sure that it's worth looking at all the other reviews of others' experiences here.
