    The food is absolutely amazing!! The service is phenomenal. Do NOT miss out on their personal chef experience. They are vegan and vegetarian friendly.

    Veggie mofongo - sooo gooood!
    Shweta S.

    Last night of our trip to Puerto Rico, we looked up for a vegetarian friendly place near Fajardo and came across this suspiciously high rated food truck just 5mins away from where we stayed. We had to check it out! Our server was very nice, they have a couple of tables and chairs for seating and it was breezy, being located next to the beach. They have a bunch of vegetarian options. We tried the chicken and vegetarian mofongo as well as empanadas which were good! We tried the coconut fries as well but did they were burnt and lacked flavor (hence 4 star) Overall the food was pretty good, Maria was very cheerful and heads up, it's a cash only place but they do have PayPal!

    The best place to eat if your staying in Liquillo.. don't go anywhere else. The food is delicious and you can sit outdoors and enjoy. We came here on both days we were there as my daughter was like can we just eat here all the days. Food may take time but it's worth it.

    Stuff avocado with vegetables

    VEGETARIANS COME HERE!! We were visiting from NY in December. Being a vegetarian I couldn't believe i got great food here. I ate vegetables stuffed in avocado. There were chickpeas and corns too $15. It was yummy. With side of sweet potato fries. We also got 1 shrimp stuffed avocado with side of yucca fries $17. There was also taro root soup which tasted great $5. The server was very considerate and asked about each thing what i could eat and what not. Like cheese etc. We were here after 6pm so it was dark and lighting was close to nothing. So i used my phone torch to see my food. I wish there was more light around. I like to see my food when i eat. Also this is cash and PayPal only place. Our bill was $41 + tip extra so i wouldn't say it's a $ place. But food tasted great. Parking is street side and was available plenty. Google maps might not give you exact location but we walked a little further and found this kiosk.

    Food truck as expensive as restaurant, maybe longer wait than restaurant

    Paid 14 dollars for 2 groupe tacos from a food truck, which is the most expensive tacos in my life, been waiting in the dark rainy night for 45 minutes!!! For an to go order Only two tacos!!! Then when arrived at hotel, there was NO tacos at all, I only got pineapple veggies Not the fish taco I've been craving for, nor even could I see a piece of meat. SO DISAPPOINTED!

    Stuffed pineapple with chicken

    Made a quick decision for a bite to eat, and we could not have a made a better decision in our entire time in Puerto Rico. This unassuming food truck is serving up some of the most unique fare in the area. Our server, Natalie, was more than friendly and made excellent suggestions off the menu. We had cheese empanadas (bomb), stuffed pineapple chicken (bomb.com), and chicken and shrimp mofungo (tomthebomb.com). Try the passionfruit, guava, pineapple juice (a Natalie special), you will not be underwhelmed. - For that special kick, go to the liquor store down the block and get a half pint of rum and make that juice pop. And to the important stuff...fries. we tried coconut fries, fried strips of coconut...excellent choice for something unique but don't order it expecting that fry satisfaction. Overall, just do it. Just f-ing do it.

    This is the place you drive out of your way for. This place gets the distinct honor of my making the best tacos I've ever had and the best plantains. It's a tiny food trailer but don't be deceived the flavors that come out of it are big and tasty! Came here with my family and the beach side setting is the perfect place to enjoy some of the best flavors in Puerto Rico! The coconut mint lemonade is also a must! We loved this place! Fantastic food and super friendly guys making some amazing food.

    I really wanted to have a good experience at Bistro Del Mar. We waited until the last leg of our trip to come here. We waited about 45 min until the truck showed up. Marina and her crew were very nice. We ordered several different empanadas, the pineapple & avocado veggie dish and the grouper ceviche. The empanadas were delicious. But sadly, l I ended up with severe Montezuma's revenge. I'm pretty sure it was the grouper since I was the only one who had it and the only one who got sick. My instinct was to have the steak. I should have stuck to that. I'm sad to not have had the incredible experience I was craving. It was just my bad luck.

    Best Street food I have had in Puerto Rico. A special tip - they can make everything Vegetarian :)

    Stuffed pineapple with chicken and a side of coconut rice

    THE STUFFED PINEAPPLE WITH CHICKEN IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE. This place is legit Puerto Rican culture at its finest. Delicious authentic foods being served at beach front location with genuine, kind workers serving you and going out of their way to make your meal and your entire stay as best as possible. Will be back for every dinner while we are in area.

    Stuffed avocado
    Coreena V.

    I have been struggling to find somewhere to eat that had flavoring/ textures I enjoyed, Then I came upon Bistro Del Mar. Hands down, delicious. Excellent flavor. We had a stuffed avocado with steak and yucca fries, stuffed pineapple with chicken and sweet plantains, and a chicken empanada. All were delicious. Did not disappoint.

    Nunca mala vibra, siempre happy.

    I remember eating at Marina's food truck en Las Croabas a few years back and thought to myself, "This food was prepared with love." I recently was back in Puerto Rico and visited the truck en La Pared and the quality was better than ever. The dedication and knowledge to her craft and the customer service from her crew was impecable. My food was delicious and when Marina pulled up from some last minute grocery shopping I let her know that I was super proud of what she has accomplished with that carrito. If you are on the east coast of Puerto Rico and want some good food, check out Bistro del Mar in La Pared, Luquillo PR

    Ordering it up at Bistro del Mar

    Another great find outside of El Conquistador gates. Just a short walk and you'll find simple delicious food served from a truck. Owner couldn't be nicer and the food couldn't be better. Had the stuffed avocado with steak, a variety of empanadas and some ice cold cheap beer. Best and cheapest meal we have had yet. Loud fun outdoor atmosphere (maybe too loud with all the generators running a host of different stands in addition to this one. Home made hot sauces round out the special touches. Marina did it right with this food stand This stop is well worth it.

    THIS IS IT. IF you want to know what is it, it's this!…read more This food truck on the river has the FRESHEST food in HUGE portions made with so much love, and it's the perfect meal after seeing El Yunque's Angelito trail, TACOS We had the fish & chicken tacos that are topped with a magical fresh fruit salsa. Crispy fresh fish or chicken on toasted tortillas. MOFONGO A massive portion of Creamy and garlicky plantains smashed and topped with protein and that fruit salsa. We took 2/3 of it to go because their was so much! SIDES Coconut Rice - sweet and flavored with peppers and red onion with a toothsome chew that brings you back for more. Amarillos - a huge amount of sweet and ripe plantains with buttery crispy edges Tostones - perfectly fried plantains piping hot seconds from cook to table DRINKS The smoothies were topped with whipped cream and cherry with a little umbrella which was a nice touch, and the coconut smoothie was the FRESHEST flavor I had in 5 days on the island; it scratched the itch I had for fresh coconut on my trip. We were accompanied by friends who live here and said this was some of the best food they had as well. 5 Stars for sure!

    We landed at this place after checking out the rainforest on a Sunday morning and we were delighted…read moreby the nice riverside setting and the friendliness of the operators. It was clear that they really cared about their food. We got some frappes tacos and chicken with mofongo. All were excellent and hit the spot.
