This cafeteria style BBQ spot offers a variety of roasted meats & PR style sides. During my visit, I tried the pernil (roasted pork), roasted chicken, chicken sausage,maduro (fried sweet plantain),& rice w/ gandules. The standout was def the roasted chicken(dark meat was juicy, flavorful, & delish while the white meat was a little dry it was still tasty). The roasted pork was also enjoyable & moist w/ crispy cerdo (skin).Unfortunately, the chicken sausage was on the dry side.The rice & gandules were the biggest disappointment. They tasted like they had been sitting out for a while & lacked the freshness & hotness(I like my rice piping hot) I was hoping for. The maduro could have been more fresh as well. I wish they had been more generous w/ the hot sauce. I was only given two tiny containers which wasn't nearly enough for the amount of food I ordered. The woman who took care of me was ok. Some of the other workers were rude & acted like I asked for the world when I asked for hot sauce. There isn't really any decor (just basic) & seating/tables are outside where you can enjoy the nice,fresh air. The only complaint I can say about that is the birds everywhere. Overall, the roasted chicken/pernil alone would def bring me back. While some of the sides & extras could use improvement as well as some of the staff. The quality of the chicken/pernil made the visit worthwhile plus the price was right. I couldn't believe how cheap everything was.

Great local place about 5 minutes from the San Juan airport. Every time we fly into San Juan we stop by and have the pollo with yuca and onions. It is delicious. Nice spot and the food is inexpensive definitely stop by if you want some comfort food before you venture out onto the island!!

I asked my man to get some hot sauce and the sever denied him, says she already gave it to him, when she clearly did not, because of her nasty attitude I will never come back here again, how she is going to tell him what he received! The plátano was raw in the middle and the yuca was bland af. The chicken sausage was dry af. The ajo sauce was so mid and so was the chicken, maybe it would have tasted better with the hot sauce we were denied! There was bird droppings all over the floor. I'm so disgusted we were treated liked this over a small container of hot sauce!

Review #1,048 Posted on 4.28.26 We came here for lunch while in town in late April, on Friday the 24th. We were hungry after drive back from rain forest El Yunque. This was one of the better meals I had while in the Carolina/San Juan area of PR. They're famous for their chicken. We tried the pork, pork spare ribs, & rotisserie chicken. We also got the sweet plantain, Puerto Rican rice too. Out of the 3-4 places I ate the rice at, this spot was the best one. The food was excellent, so tender and flavorful too. The pork fell right off of the rib bone, and the pull pork was so tender and good. The prices here are beyond fair, you can get a good amount of food for a really good price. You can tell why there was a line that was pretty long when we arrived, for sure a reputable tourist spot that no doubt holds up to their reputation.

Bebo's always hits. I've been coming here for over 15 years whenever I come visit Puerto Rico. It's my first stop once I leave the airport and has never failed me. Full of delicious traditional food with generous portions, sometimes if I'm curious and they're not busy the staff will let me try a little bit of something I'm curious about before committing to my meal. Very sweet employees in an outdoor/open air setting.

Great local Puerto Rican spot with delicious, fresh-tasting food. The roasted chicken, pork and sides were excellent and everything felt clean and homemade. Bonus points for the rooster casually walking around--it added to the island charm. The pigeons were a little less charming, but the food more than made up for it. Definitely worth a stop!

Loganiza- chicken sausage

Off the highway location, very popular. Food was amazing, variety to choose. We had a short wait in the line, ordered and chose our seats. They took our order and quickly served it by calling out our name. It's a togo type of service, however they have seating. Open to the air, parking is limited. Ambulance was great, music playing and a lot of people enjoying the he food. Recommend this location, opens late too.

Bebo's BBQ is hands down one of the best spots to eat in Puerto Rico, and it has become our very first stop every time we arrive. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The BBQ meats are perfectly cooked, smoky, and juicy, and the sides taste just like home-cooked comfort food. What I love most about this place is the atmosphere--it's casual, laid-back, and you really feel the local vibe as soon as you walk in. The staff is quick and friendly, even when it gets busy, and the service never disappoints. Whether you're just landing at the airport or heading out, Bebo's is the perfect place to kick off your trip with authentic Puerto Rican flavors. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island--this is a must!

Bird in the rafters (Greater Antillian Grackle or chango)
Rob M.

An absolute must. Either the first meal when you land or your last stop before you fly out. The chicken is excellent, as are the ribs. You can expect a lot of grease and even more flavor. It's not quite a white tablecloth situation. The meal is messy and the dining area is commensurate. You may need to fend off pigeons and chickens from your crumbs. And bird watchers may identify other avian diners as well (I spotted a Greater Antillian Grackle perched in the rafters). As to portion and price, a half chicken, a pound of ribs and two sides (I go for the rice and sweet plantains) plus drinks will feed four and run you less than $30.

Chicken maduros tostones and rice
Angela L.

Outstanding delicious must have food! Had the half a chicken maduros tostones and arroz con gandules and wow wow wow! Everything was delicious and well cooked. I can see why a line forms as you get a good quantity of food for a good price. This is a good spot to have lunch or dinner outdoors . Def have to come here if you're in PR.

Delicious bbq spot on the way to the airport. Place had outdoor seating only. Ready made delicious food. The woman behind the counter was definitely not the friendliest and the pernil was a tad on the dry side but well seasoned. I also had the yuca and tried the roast chicken which was delicious.

Alex N.

Ok so i enjoyed the food. I ordered pernil, blood sausage, steamed yuca with onions and plantains. I enjoyed the food. Everything was fresh and tasty. When my food arrived I asked if they have any garlic sauce and one of the employees gave me some. I saw they didn't give me any hot sauce for the chicken so i back and asked The lady for some. She replied i served you and gave you hot sauce. I replied and said no you didn't i asked for garlic sauce and thats what you gave. Im asking you for hot sauce. Than I asked if you guys charge for the sauce? And she rolled her eyes and said yes. If that's the case than just say you charge for it. No need to be rude about something so small. I don't mind paying $1 for it. I ended up not getting any at all. I just didn't like the attitude that i was given over something so small. Courtesy and professionalism go a long way for a business. But two stars is what you get from me unfortunately.

If every place in PR is this great, we're in for a terrific weekend. These folks understand spice…read moreand seasoning. The presentations are horrible. So?????? It's not going to exist beyond 10 minutes when hitting our table. Everything is flavourful, especially the Churrasco a la Parrilla. Juicy and flawlessly grilled. My pick of the day. They cook things right. The Salmon was ridiculous delicious. I didn't mind paying almost $20 for the Argentine style Breast Fillet. Everything down to the potato was a treat. I'm a bit bothered by auto adding the gratuity to the bill. We had six but I'm told even parties of four incur this. The prices weren't the best, but, the large portions helped to make up for that. I've heard bad things about the service, ours was spot-on. Maybe not the most polite, but fast and attentive. I'd definitely be back to this place. 12/25

Walking into this old corner unit on Ponce de Leon is the smell of "hospital napalm" aka denatured alcohol rub, so, no smoking allowed. But pretty, pretty clean. Servers are dressed in Boston green polo shirts and do a perfunctory welcome. The large bar adorns the left of the restaurant with tables, cushioned chairs and a few corner units that can accommodate a few family sized 8-tops. There is a parking lot so if you're not going into the La Placita, don't worry. Classic PR bound and laminated menu features all of the good in life. Local favorites, and for good value. You're not getting a Michelin-starred meal here, you're getting sustenance not caviar. Protein, and starch- do you really need microgreens? So order the first of 3 huge pina coladas, mojitos or beers, and STFU Donny. Everything is great and pretty basic. PR "Mayo-Ketchup" on the table already mixed. Curious, I opted for avocado-stuffed fresh ceviche the size of a small child's head. Perfectly seasoned and incredible in value. Just needs lime wedges and a few chips-see pic. Others ordered a cauldron of piping hot seafood soup with shrimp and calamari, and tender beef stew with all the trimmings of rice, beans and everything nice. It reminds you of the PR mom you never had. One I'm still trying to emulate, but creativity and reasoning get in the FKN way. Enjoy your meal and tip the girls.
