An exquisite local eatery with an elegant atmosphere, Baru serves Caribbean and Mediterranean dishes. We like the fried green plantains with goat cheese and guava paste and any of the mouthwatering meats in interesting sauces. Daily for dinner. After-hours party begins at midnight with a DJ playing salsa and merengue. $$$. Most major credit cards. 150 Calle San Sebastian, Old San Juan, San Juan. Phone 787-977-7107. http://www.barupr.com.
