This was the first place we ate at in PR once we were able to drop off our luggage and got situated with our room. It was conveniently close so it made for an easy drive after a long travel day. The host was friendly and the seating area was all outside which made for a very relaxed vibe. We must of gotten there right with the rush so it took a while for them to come around and get our drink orders and then again when we were ready to eat. The food was pretty good but it was unfortunate that some of the dishes we wanted from the menu were no longer available due to them running out. I would consider coming here more on the early lunch or an early dinner so you have more options to choose from. read more

Dario was amazing and so was the food. We had the mofongo was amazing and so were the fish tacos. Highly recommend. read more

Asador Boricua - Mofongo x3 and fish tacos - Bars Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

My first time in PR and I wanted to try the roadside restaurant and mofongo. The food was great here and the drinks were awesome. They got a little busy but well worth the stop. The coconut mojito was fabulous. Open air restaurant with fun vibe. Drove by at night and it was still lively. The server was awesome he was attentive and we didn't have to tell him but once what we wanted. read more

For our last night in Puerto Rico we decided to go to Asador Boricua. We passed it so many times during our stay in Luquillo. We were looking for something low key with a nice atmosphere. This place more than fulfilled our expectations! Our sever was very attentive and friendly. The food was spectacular! So flavorful! One of the best meals we had on our trip! I ordered the Churassco Mufungo. The meat was by far the best quality we had on the trip. The mufungo was also hands down the best (and we ate a lot of mufungo)! I ordered a garlic butter sauce for my dish one the side. A lot of the mufungo offered at other places came with it, and needed it! This one did not need it! I felt foolish because I barely used the sauce, the dish was so delicious and moist! My husband ordered the Pernil al Caldero. He loved his dish as well. I hope this place does well, they deserve it! Highly recommend!! read more

WOW WOW WOW WOW BEST FOOD IN PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We came here after a wonderful hike, water slide, rope swing, and cliff diving in El Yunque rainforest. Staff are friendly and ambience is airy with natural breeze and light. The skirt steak was DELICIOUS - we ordered it medium rare and it was perfectly tender and juicy. The chimichuri sauce was made with fresh herbs and oil. We loved dipping the succulent skirt steak in the chimichuri sauce for a perfect bite. It came with 1 side and a yummy salad. The ribs were so tender and fell off the bone. You don't even need to chew. It melts in the mouth. The ribs were glazed with a smokey barbecue sauce. The whole dish was decorated with yummy bbq, chimichuri, and sriracha sauce which paired perfectly with the ribs. We finished the fantastic meal with decadent chocolate cake with raspberry sauce and chocolate drizzle. So good!!! read more

Asador Boriqua in Puerto Rico is a culinary treasure! The food is absolutely delicious, with the same incredible menu and ownership that made El Ambique in Isla Verde a beloved spot until its closing. I loved it so much that, during my recent trip to Isla Verde, I happily drove 30 minutes--twice--to savor their dishes. The staff is exceptional, and the food is out of this world. It would be amazing if the owner reopened the former location in Isla Verde. El Ambique was truly like a "Cheers" for tourists and locals alike, and it feels like a big part of the community is missing now. Special shoutout to Jenny and Domino, my all-time favorite servers, who became like family over the years. read more

Great service thanks to Dario. Mofongo was delicious. Definitely better than the nearby kiosks!

Great service! The mofongo ahogado was delicious, hearty broth. We also had the fried chillo, calamari, chuleton and fried fish bites. Overall great food and drinks. read more

Got brought here by our tour guide after the El Yunque forest. The coconut rice is one of the best things I have had in the past year

I was here as part of a tour I did in the rainforest. We stopped here for lunch/early dinner. They have a big open but covered patio which shades you from rain. The menu had all the Puerto Rican classics. The service is fast given how many tourists / tours were coming in and they kept up with their guests. I was seated at the bar and the bartender was very nice and accommodating with drinks and food. read more

wonderful place!!! we always look for delicious restaurants w a kids menu that has pasta w penne and butter for one picky kid the food and drinks were all great. conveniently located roadside, it's open air. service was amazing. our waiter was adorable, attentive and great to talk to. the ambiance was chill and we loved sitting outside in the warm air feeling the breeze and hearing the coquis read more

Food is average but a good portion especially for the tuna salad! Given the scarce source of greens in many restaurants here, this is a star. We did a takeout, but service was fast. There was only one table occupied when we arrived on a Thursday night, so it was pretty quiet, but I could imagine the place packed on a weekend evening. read more

Communication between kitchen and servers is horrid. Our server was super nice and tried to accommodate as possible but the kitchen/cooks did not help. We ordered 1 kids tender, the server went to the kitchen to confirm that they were available and was told yes. After waiting for an hour they come back and say they are not available!!! We ordered a red snapper, after several minutes they advised not available which is fine, we then ordered a pork chop with mofongo and they brought out the pork chop with tostones cause "the cook said it was faster" (not what I wanted)!!! We waited for more than hour an a half for a salmon with mofongo and a hamburger!!! Wish the experience would've been better. Unfortunately will not be visiting or recommending this restaurant to anyone. read more

Nice place. Super friendly. Smiles everywhere. Decent food. Quick service. Would go again if there weren't So many other places to try! I might, before the end of my trip, regardless. read more

We arrived at SJU around 1630. After taking the 45 minute drive and getting settled in our room, we ventured out for food. Asador Boricua was within 20 minutes of our hotel so we decided to give it a try. The service was great. Wish I could rate the service alone. However, the restaurant was out of most of the menu items. Not fault of their own, it was simply a busy day. read more

Asador Boricua - Late night snack. Fish tacos, fish bites, salad and drinks. - Bars Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

This place was close to our Airbnb so we stopped for dinner one night. The service was good and the food was decent. There was a decent size parking lot that was easy to find and maneuver. The whole seating area is spacious and outside, but the view is of the highway and it's kind of noisy. Overall, our meal was good, but I'd recommend stopping at another restaurant in the area for better views/food. read more

Excellent service and ambiance. My wife had shrimp with pasta in pink sauce and it was delicious. I had the grouper fish tacos which were also excellent. This was one of our best meals in the Liquillo area. read more

Came here because 60 kioskos of Luquillo down the street was extremely packed due to it being July 4 and I'm so glad we did!! The restaurant reminds me of a fun hangout with friends who love good food and drinks. I ordered the fried fish and fries. It was delicious and fresh. Another person ordered the Pernil (roasted pork). The pernil was amazing! Another ordered the roasted chicken. And another ordered the ahi tuna wrap. And we shared a the chicken mofongo. I loved that the absolute most!! Everyone was extremely happy with their food. I wish I could stop by again before we left PR. The service was excellent! Everyone was very friendly & another server gave us tips of where to go visit. Thank you!! read more

Open air restaurant and thebl food is great. Definitely have a flavored Pina Colada. There are plenty of options for food, local cuisine and others, burgers, and chicken plates. read more

I have been up and down that corridor a million times on vacation but this last time, I was there with my fiancé's family (there were 12 of us) and was really looking for something special. This place did not disappoint! The front of the house staff/server was top notch! I am remiss that I forgot her name (she used to live in the states briefly, tho) and spoke perfect English so she was able to assist my family with ease and no one but me spoke Spanish. This was clutch for me as I was able to just sit back and be a patron not a translator. The place was open air dining and it was spotless! The music was good and set at a decent volume so you could talk without yelling. Now let's get to the food! It was PHENOMENAL! We all ordered different things from Mofongo, to Pernil with Rice and Beans, to Fried Mahi Mahi Sandwiches. Not one dish disappointed. The portions were good. Everything was fresh. The beans were next level. And the skin on the pernil? O. M. G. I would risk it all to eat that every day. The chef was very nice and even came out to make sure all was good. He took an awesome pic with my future mother-in-law. This place is a must go when you're on your way to Farjardo for the rain forest or a day at Luquillo. It's really not far from the metro San Juan area, either so you could totally do it for a lunch as well. It is worth the trip. It was truly amazing. read more

STAY AWAY! I just got back from eating lunch here and ordered the chicken tenders. Upon them arriving at my table, I made a joke they looked like roadkill. Apparently I was right. I am now violently ill with food poisoning not even two hours after eating these chicken tenders, which are the only thing I ate today. I am furious and something should be done about this! I am now absolutely miserable on my vacation. read more

Just come here! The food is fantastic. We ate the best skirt steak of our lives here. It could be my last meal on earth and I would be thrilled. Perfectly cooked and came with an herb oil on top and salad. We were also in the mood for ribs. They had a sweet barbecue glaze on top - we devoured them. So tender and fell off the bone. Everything was fresh and delicious. The restaurant has a horse ride and goat feeding area next to it. We checked that out after our delicious meal. Great spot, wonderful service, and hidden gem! read more

Food was the best we had all week! Very casual place. Must stop by! Very unassuming place. read more

Best fish tacos and fried fish. Wonderful friendly service and nice outdoor surroundings too!

Excellent as usual. Chef Omar is a rare find. Outstanding food. Great service. All at a reasonable price.

My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous meal at this lovely open-air (covered) gem. Varied and creative menu. I had the best scallops ever, beautifully presented with delish coconut rice. Husband had chicken pasta pesto, a generous and delectable delight. We shared a house salad. The total bill, with two beers, was $61 - an excellent value. The only down side is that it's on a major road so suggest going when traffic lighter. It was noticeable but not a deal-breaker at 7:30 pm. Highly recommend this place! read more

Delicious food, excellent service, and great ambiance in outdoor seating. Fish bites with creamy dipping sauce balanced sweet with savory, fish had nice texture. Ribs were smoky, tender, and mouthwatering. Rice could use a little more coconut, but texture was just right. Service was friendly and attentive. Music made the outdoor seating festive and enjoyable. Will definitely eat here again. read more

This place is a great find for a quick bite. The service is incredible and my meal was delicious.

What was bad? Service was extremely slow, forgot my water, and never came back to ask how we liked our food. My Mojito tasted like it was all sour mixer. Even after I asked them to add another shot of rum. Our food was below par. We had the tuna steak and the steak wrap. Both were not worth finishing. The atmosphere was ok if you like listening to highway traffic. What was Good? It was close to our hotel and less expensive than the hotel restaurant. read more

really, really great food!! We went after dark and there were lots of mosquitos but aside from that the food and drinks were great. The waitress was horrible but it is not the restaurant's fault and the other workers stepped in to take over. read more

This restaurant stands alone, nearby area of the kiosks. It came as a recommendation for staying in the Luquillo area. Staff was friendly, place was busy, food was delicious! Our waitress went above and beyond! read more

They were out of everything we wanted to order (churrasco, pork, and snapper) so we had a couple of drinks and an app. Mojito and coco mojito were fantastic, as well as the calamari! read more

This was the best food of our trip. It was so nice to have well-seasoned food and many non-fried options for a change of pace. My son loved his shrimp in pesto cream sauce with bowtie pasta. My husband really enjoyed his skirt steak, along with delicious coconut rice and flavorful beans. I had tasty ribs and coconut rice. We were pleased that the steak and ribs came with some surprise cooked spinach since vegetables were not that common at most other restaurants on our trip. Highly recommend if you're nearby in El Yunque or Luquillo! read more

We LOVED this restaurant. There was something for everyone (family of 5). The service was great. We were tended to by 3 different people asking if we needed anything. We came close to closing and they were packed but we didn't wait overly long for anything. It rained cats and dogs while we were there and it was so neat, hearing the rain on the roof. This is an outdoor seating place but we were dry and enjoyed our meals. Such a great vibe. (My 7 year old daughter wanted me to give them 11 stars ) read more

Super amazing, well prepared and simple but delicious. Stopped here after a tour and just blown away by the food, service and drinks.
