Dragonfly is a unique experience in San Juan, because there isn't really another address in the genre. In the evening, the room is inspired by the volume of the ambiance music that rises by a cran. From time to time, Latin jazz groups come to this.

Since 1996, Tierra Santa has been exploring another culinary region of the world: the Middle East, which is quite original in Puerto Rico.

It has also focused on an atmosphere that is typical of Arab countries. Oriental dance shows are usually organized on Friday and Saturday evenings.
