Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

During our stay in San Juan we had a chance to see The Fiddler on the Roof musical. We bought cheapest tickets (only 15$!), but were reseated to excellent places.
Lovely theatre, great service, brilliant performance.... we loved it!

Wow, it's a beautiful building tha'll take you back in time. There isn't a bad seat in the building and the architecture is rich. Even the restrooms are lovely. There's a "wall mounted museum" displaying various costumes, artifacts and historical information about the theater and it's performers.

The first time I went into this theater was back in 1985, a trip from school to see a show;. It was awesome, the place, the decorations, everything, the sound. My wife and I we like to go and enjoy plays and other shows and still visit this place whenever we’ve the time (there are a lot of show during the year), after all those years, this place still keeps it's magic. It’s still awesome, the place, the nostalgic, everything; besides it’s located in Old San Juan, so, you can come here and also enjoy some good food (a lot of good places to eat nearby) and a walk thru San Juan. If you’ve the chance, enjoy a good show here.

I took a tour with my friends and people recommend us the Boriken show held in this beautiful theatre. Amazing music and dancers that guides you through the history of Puerto Rico.

Perfect location and intimate theatre. All seats are full view seats in my opinion as the theatre is small compared to theatres in NYC. The sound was perfect and the staff was very friend. The theatre is located next to great restaurants and bars too. It was a 10 minute cab ride from my hotel in Condado area.

Just back from a great jazz concert at Teatro Tapia. Excellent acoustics and what great music. Next project: getting similar acoustics for my living room.
It is also very comfortable and elegant theatre. The inside arrangement was quite interesting. Most of the seats are in the ground floor, one side with the even number seats and the other with the odd numbered seats. The first six rows are somewhat below the stage, and we had the perfect seats around row 8. The balcony seats look like the balconies of old San Juan. It provides a feeling of a show where the Old San Juan residents are looking and enjoying from the balconies.
The theater is in excellent condition, and the service staff (ushers) - etc providing timely support.
If you go to a show make sure you arrive an hour early, so you have time to look around.

We went to the theater for a play. Had not been there for many, many years and was surprised to see how elegant it still is and how the restaurations had brought back its splendor. The theater is quite old, late 19th century and it is still very much in use. It is located at the entrance of Old San Juan, close to taxis, bars and restaurants, perfect for a night on the town after a good play.

Are tours of the theater available without booking a show?

I would like to know the tickets booth opening hours at the Teatro Tapia.. The telephone is always busy: 787-721-0169.
I live in San Juan and have been many times at this old theater, nicely renovated and looking like a Madrid theater.
