Located in Playa de Ponce The food was really good, but I had two very young kids with me. My wife drank Don Q Rum and was charged $5 per drink. I drank coca cola at $1.99 per drink. My kids asked for shirley temples that were refilled once and I got charged $27.96 for those drinks. I spoke to the bartenders and the owner about the excessive charge and they stood by the fact that a child's drink should be $7. So my kids had an $8 hamburger kids meal and about $14 worth of Shirley temples. They called it a Jugo Natural and said that is how they had to ring it up. There is no natural juice in a sprite and granadine. They didn't care that we would not return or that we were displeased. It is unfortunate because I really like to support the Ponce Playa area. When the kids drinks were refilled, I asked if they had refills and they said "yes", but in the end didn't honor those refills. On principal, I will not go back. read more

What a treasure of a find! My family and I stumbled upon this place while driving around, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The mofongo with garlic chicken was hands down the best I had all vacation. Great food, fast service, and a wonderful experience overall. read more

Bahia's Restaurant - Mofongo with garlic chicken - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Peñuelas, Puerto Rico

Absolutely loved our experience at Bahías! From the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel welcome with friendly, attentive service. The menu is packed with flavorful Puerto Rican classics. The lobster mofongo and churrasco trifongo were standout dishes, rich, perfectly seasoned, and unforgettable. The seafood options are fresh and delicious, and the portion sizes are generous. The terrace seating overlooking the water made our dinner even more special, with amazing views at sunset. We also tried a few of their signature cocktails, which paired perfectly with our meal. Great vibe, great food, and a perfect spot for a relaxed dinner with friends or a date night. Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends! read more

We found a Caribbean treasure, The Bahia's Restaurant in Penuelas,PR. We arrived before sunset and sat outside on high top tables facing the setting sun. We were just fifteen feet from the gentle lapping waves. You can also sit inside in a traditional Puerto Rican bar/restaurant. Our server Joed went over the menu with us. We started with the empanadillas. She recommended the lobster, shrimp and conch. We ordered and shared them all. We agreed that the lobster ones were the best. We shared the baked whole red snapper. with the creole sauce along with a side of white rice. The fish was moist and flavorful. For dessert we only considered the homemade flans. We chose the cheese flan. It was fresh and delicious. If your travels take you to southern Puerto Rico, enjoy a great dinner at Bahia's. read more

THIS. PLACE. Wow. It was soooooooo good. My boyfriend and I favorite restaurant we ate it. Everything was absolutely delicious, the rice and beans were perfection. The tostones were phenomenal they were fresh and nice and salty. Our server was so nice and attentive. We went for the sunset and got good views, since you are on the water it isn't too hot. They have umbrellas as well so you can try and block the sun. I really recommend coming here. The food was delicious and you get nice views. read more

Unwelcoming Service This Time Around I've had good experiences here before, but this visit was disappointing. We arrived at 11:30 a.m. not realizing the restaurant opened at 12. The door was open, so we walked in, but no one greeted us. An employee came out while on the phone and didn't acknowledge us at all. We returned at 12:15 p.m. when it was officially open--still, the greeting felt cold and awkward, even though no other customers were there. A noticeable drop in hospitality compared to previous visits. read more

I've had seafood from a lot of places BUT this red snapper was the BEST I have ever had. The garlic sauce with it was literally chefs kisseveryone in our group tried something different so we could all try each others dishes. They were all amazing!! Not only was the food delicious but the service was incredible. Our waiter, a young man named Alex, was so friendly. He answered our questions and gave suggestions. He even explained how some of the foods are eaten together and what foods are really popular in Puerto Rico awesome young man! Waterfront restaurant and bar. And they have a great out door area for nightlife. I highly recommend checking out Bahia's. We'll make this one of our regular stops when we come back to the area! read more

Went here because De Jesus Restaurant was closed for some reason. First off, it was 12pm and the restaurant had no mint to make a mojito!!!! That's one of the most popular drinks on the island what the what!!! Secondly, the plates were tiny!!!! My fiancé ordered a churrasco with cilantro rice. The rice had absolutely no flavor and was such a small portion. He was so disappointed that he forgot to take a picture. I ordered the chillo frito with lobster tail. I thought it was $40 as I was browsing the menu. By the way, the menu is more expensive now than the picture you see in the other reviews. I forgot to take a pic of that. I forgot my fiancé also ordered sangrias which were FILLED with ice but at $6 each, he got 3. So worth it! We've been all around the island and have gotten way bigger fish than today for 80% or more of the price of $60!!!! How disappointing in that department. I also wanted an avocado and they had none although they make stuffed avocados as part of their menu!!!!!! 2 stars because the waitress was friendly. Also because the lobster was actually yummy in the white garlic sauce I requested. And the tostones were good as well. read more

Loved the kind server and the food was delish! My husband had the salmon with capers and a cream sauce- the rice with veggies and meat was yummy too! Mostly though we loved the view from the outdoor deck even though there has been too much rain recently - and hurricane damage is still evident. read more

4.5 stars in our view. We arrived at this restaurant right at sunset so were able to catch a glimpse of the stunning view from the restaurant patio. The cozy vibe (music, staff, quietness, and gentle breeze of the ocean) at the restaurant made our night really enjoyable. We really liked the Creole Platter, the Skirt Steak with Chimichurri sauce, and the Mamposteao rice. The meat was especially tender and flavorful. We did feel that the piña colada had a bit too much ice and could taste better with more coconut flavoring. read more

Found this hidden gem off the beaten path while adventuring around Ponce. The views are beautiful as you are right on the water and atmosphere was so laid-back, this is perfect for our vacation! Everything was in tiptop shape and SO clean! Our bartender Brian who was also our server was extremely tentative and made brilliant cold drinks! Great variety of appetizers. We had the pulpo empanadas and boy were yummy! Great variety of music as well. I'm assuming this place gets popping after dark which we will for sure try on our next visit to Ponce, Puerto Rico. #baywatchbahiabeachclub #bahiasponce read more

The food is excellent. I had the Mahi Mahi which was cooked to perfection, the grated plantain chip was nice and crispy and the rice with cilantro and the coconut curry was delicious. The appetizer was a Tabla called La Spanish. An excellent assortment of Spanish delicacies like manchego, jamon serrano, olives and toast. For it being Father's Day the place was not too busy when we arrived and the service is the best. It's a little spendy but you definitely won't mind paying for the quality. read more

Excellent food and drinks. Wonderful service. Plenty of choices for the entire family. Who all have very different dietary preferences.

Delicious food, excellent service, what more could you ask for? We stopped in on a recommendation from a local, and we're so happy we did! We ordered tuna tacos and chicken mofongo and highly recommend both! read more

The restaurant was in a nice location. The service was good and the beer was cold. The food presentation was excellent.

The food is BAD, really bad. Not even main staples in Puerto Rico, like "sorullitos" and cheese fritters were good. Sorullos were burnt and cheese ball fritters tasted and looked reheated or refried. The "yuca" frittters tasted rotten. We did not dare to order dinner. I feel pretty bad, because a friend of the owner recommended the place. However, I want the rest of the world to leave Puerto Rico with a great experience. Therefore, I can not recommend this place for food. On a positive note, they opened a sea side deck that is super nice. It's a 40' steel container converted as a bar. The wood deck is pretty well designed. Just go there for the drinks and uncooked items like ham or cheeses. The ocean and sunsets are nice. read more

Had a very nice lunch experience. Had the tuna taco. What impressed me was when i ask to change it up to my not likeing curry. The chef and i discussed the change and did he delivered!!!! Great!!!!!. Carlos our waiter and bartender was entertaining with his comforting personality. read more

Only gave 4 stars since we only had an appetizer and a couple of drinks. However, service was very good, the facilities were in good shape (restored old building) and comments from the others in our group/table were all very good. In fact the desserts were excellent, did try a bite out of a couple of them. Solamente le adjudiqué 4 estrellas ya que solamente probamos un aperitivo y tomamos un par de tragos. Sin embargo, el servicio fue muy bueno, las facilidades están en buen estado (es un edificio antiguo renovado) y los comentarios de las demás personas del grupo/mesa fueron muy buenos. Los postres, que probé dos, estuvieron bien buenos. read more

I really like this place, they improve a lot. Good service, good food. The carne frita is the best I ever try. The fried fish can be better. They serve lunch menu and dinner. They have a bar outside and is great read more

We came into ponce at sunset and drove around until we found a restaurant . We originally were going to way el ancla but the reviews were average . We saw Bahia's around the corner and read good reviews . We were the were the only table. The waiter did not speak English and our Spanish was minimal so it was fun! We each had two Heinekens and I had the skirt steak mofongo with mushroom sauce ... It was amazing!!!! My hubby had the pork mofongo which was also good but the churrasco was the best ! It was a little pricy 80$ for two but over all yummy read more

Bahia's Restaurant - Churrasco mofongo - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Peñuelas, Puerto Rico

Worst experience in Puerto Rico! Beware!! This place is a total rip off. They not only served the worst mufongo I ever eat in Puerto Rico, the fish filet was also a complete joke. Completely dry and sad, covered by some sauce like a third class frosted TV dinner for the microwave. Service was very bad experience, too. But the real joke came with the bill: (which he called 'ticket' which is the only funny takeaway of the visit) - they charged $93 for their clown show. (We had two fish like TV dinners without sides, one chunk of dry and untasty mofongo, one empanadilla and 4 glasses of white wine.) Try to avoid that pirate at all costs! read more

Great environment, but service was not how it suppose to be. I had to remind our waitress about our order, this happened several times. Also order an arroz con cilantro and it was more the oil than the rice. The portions were to small and it was over price. I'm from the town, but I do not recommend this place to anyone. Please somebody fire the cook. read more

We were referred to this restaurant by some wonderful people we met at our hotel. I want to warn you like they warned us, do not be taken aback by the fact that it is nearly empty. The food is truly a treat, yummo! The appetizers had us fighting for our favorites and when our main dishes came we had to try each others because we didn't want to miss out. We went back with friends who came to see us from the other side of the island and again it was a hit. The service staff was also great, friendly and attentive. Going to Ponce? Look them up you won't be disappointed. read more

Restaurant is in a semi industrial area right by the ocean and could easily be missed. The menu looks simple but the dish I had (mofongo with criole sauce) was presented beautifully and was the best mofongo I've had in 3 visits to Puerto Rico. Staff speaks english. If you're in Ponce and looking for a place that serves authentic (and tasty!) Puerto Rican fare, I recommend giving them a try. read more
