Came here with friends and family. Great view of the ocean dope bartenders wit great skills on well made drinks . Food is very americano they had ribs and tacos at the time I've visited but only came for drinks so can't say much on preparation and flavor read more

This place has a great vibe. I'd been before, about a year and a half ago, and I swear the same people were at the same tables, obviously regulars. It's sort of a mix of hipster and senior hippies, clearly locals who enjoy the beach and the surf. While eating, you can watch surfers catching waves. This is a joint, we're not talking high-end food and drinks. But guava glazed baby back ribs, excellent. Giant burgers cooked and accompanied as you wish. Great sides - typical for this type of place. How about a guava jalapeño margarita? A variety of creative cocktails and beers are available. Outdoor dining upstairs and street level. If you're in the area, have some time, and are hungry this is a nice place to enjoy an afternoon meal. read more

Delicious food and drinks right on Luquillo beach with great staff. Fish tacos and ribs were amazing. Perfect lunch spot for a day spent at the beach. read more

Fair food only. Really too expensive for what you get. Service was decent at least, but not all the staff was friendly.

This is a must try! Great after a day in El Yunque! I really loved the ambience and the food! Great view of the ocean from the front Porch bar stools. Absolutely the best seats in the house. Loved the music, too. We went during happy hour and enjoyed the loaded potato wedges with bacon and cheese served with sour cream and build your own fish tacos. We selected shrimp over tilapia and mahine. So yum! Don't miss the drink specials: we had $3 Margaritas (FRESH90FRESH lime/OJ) and $1 Medallia (local beer). Good mix of tourists and locals. P.s. Looked up yelp password to leave this review. read more

A great fun environment to be in and I definitely loved It! I went Thursday night which is salsa night and It was such good energy. We had Ashley as our waitress and she was so kind. There was a charge mix up and when I brought It to her attention she quickly changed It without a fuss. She was a great server. The food itself was good, but not great. However I still recommend the place because the environment is great! read more

We went here twice for dinner while in Puerto Rico and loved it both times. The view is amazing and the food was great!

The best place by the beach. Always a comfortable place to relax and meet great people. There is great live entertainment!!! read more

Been here for at least 7 times. Let me start with saying that this place has no towels or air in the bathroom. After washing your hands you have to exit bathroom to get paper towel in the hallway. So after washing your hands you have to touch that door knob (the one you need to grab, squeeze and turn, good luck with those wet hands), and we all know some people don't care about hygiene, so you are touching their privates and not only... (have to remind you its a restaurant) On top of that, even in the hallway there was NO PAPER TOWEL. Bathroom smell is extremely unpleasant (always), for a food place its a disaster! Manager was contacted, and wasn't happy about things I pointed out. I was giving lots of attitude. He thought its perfectly normal and there is no problem. Let's move to another issue, this place constantly overcharges or brings someone else check, it happened twice for me! and I read reviews that I'm not alone. Fish and any other seafood is frozen and mostly imported. (and you can almost touch the oceans water from your seat) what a shame - most people go to the bar to get their drink them self's (if you get your food, forget about the waiter to come back and check on you) p.s saw this in the reviews already as well and not so important things: - No olives for your drink on busy nights, been told that you get them for brunch, but they ran out before night, even know drinks twice more expensive at night - after 11pm they start bringing you plastic instead of glass, even know you still paying $8 for a drink Food is not too bad, and would come back, but was told not to by the manager. Conclusion: If you very hungry and don't care about such unsanitary issues, bring gallon of hand sanitizer and enjoy their food and pretty amazing drinks, because that's your only option in the area (for now) Thank You! read more

It is a beach bar & restaurant with some good eats and very cold beer. The service was great, food was awesome too.

Advice: Come in the beginning of your trip; you WILL want to come back!! We arrived here on a Tuesday afternoon in March, the weather was beautiful and the crowd was a nice size; we had no problem getting a table on the patio. The view is spectacular, as the restaurant is located basically right on the beach (small road in between). The bartender, aka Flippy Floppy, was great and made a mean Pain Killer (rum drink)! Our server Kelly was so friendly and helpful with the menu. It was Taco Tuesday so we ordered up all kinds of tacos at a great price. We had Mahi, Shrimp and Tilapia. They were so fresh and delicious! My friend ordered the Chicken Pita Special and loved it! To top it off, the owner was very friendly and made us feel right at home. ;-) It was nice to see so many locals come and hug her and chat about their day. Such a wonderful experience. Needless to say, we came back the very next day, and now I will always be a Boardriders regular when I'm in town. Thanks for everything yall, keep killin it! read more

Great rum shack steps from the beach in Luquillo. The folks that run the place are AWESOME and hang out and party with the clientele. They really made us feel welcome. The drinks are cheap and the food in phenomenal. I only wish we had a chance to eat more than one meal there! Get the fish tacos. MMmmmMMMMmmmMMMM. Also, they have Corn Hole! read more

Boardriders - Mmm fish tacos - Caribbean Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Arrived at Boardriders around 7pm on a Saturday to see that all the tables outside were taken so we decided to order a drink at the bar and wait for a table outside (which was perfectly fine). Tables outside were first come first serve so we were lucky to find one within 15 minutes or so of getting our drink. Sat down at the table for at least 30 minutes for a waitress to bring us menus so I went up to the bar to get my own menu to order food. Then waited another 30 minutes to see if someone would take our order, still no luck. I decided to take matters into my own hands and order food at the bar and told them we were sitting outside. We then waited another 30 minutes to bring out our order of 1 cheese quesadilla and 1 mahi quesadilla, only to receive a chicken quesadilla instead of a mahi (WHAT!?!). We asked them to bring us water when the food arrived, that did not happen (of course). When we finished eating, we expected someone to bring us a check, like a normal restaurant would, yet again, I went up to the bar to pay for our at best decent meal. Just some advice: Do not eat here! read more

This gem is tucked along side one of the best ocean views on the island. Friendly staff, big portions and priced just right. An easy place to get lost in conversation while listening to the surf. The patio was just right... open and breezy. Mainland food with a touch of island. Highly suggest the Mahi fish tacos! read more

We fell into this bar/restaurant after hiking in the rain forest. There is a beautiful view over looking the beach and ocean. We loved the fish tacos. The Mojito's were delicious and potent. The service wasn't awesome and the indoor part of the bar is a basic beach bar but the food, the drinks and the patio were all worth a stop in. read more

We came in on a Saturday and the place was full. They only had one cook, one bartender and one waiter. We asked why and they told us some people did not showed up to work. The wait time for a drink 15 mins. The wait for food 1 hour. We saw people getting up and going to Quava the place next door. No manager around, we know the owner juan and we asked for him. It looks like the owner is letting this place go down. A lucky kid that his family owns the property. No real hard work. lucky juan? Yes he is. If this place is run like this watch out for the food. Bad managed places means bad food. Or old food in the freezers. I hope this will wake up the owner and get to work. It's a great place but. We had to go to Quava the food was great. Wake up juan. read more

The live band, some kind of Rasta group not only showed up late, but when they finally started, the singer started using nasty words that most of the people present could not understand. I refuse to patronize a place like this. This could have easily become out of hand if there would have been others that could also understand. Everyone knows young crowds are often armed in PR. Not worth it. Will never visit it again. read more

This was the first restaurant we stopped by in our Puerto Rico trip. The place is a local surf bar & Grill. The food is simple, but tasty. I recommend the shrimp quesadilla for apps! read more

One star maybe too much for our experience this time around. In all fairness, we have been to this place before and it was a pleasant experience even when they ran out of fish tacos! Now back to this experience! It was Valentines Day and the staff was overwhelmed with the crowd. We waited for a long time to get drinks and our food was a true disappointment--all of it. Management did not bother to talk to anyone about the wait and the tables were way too dirty. We stay in Luquillo every year and we try to patronize all the restaurants so this place is no different in our efforts but I will avoid it when it's too busy. read more

Super cute place! Cheap drinks, good food. Was a good relief from our expensive resort. Would recommend checking them out - everyone who worked there was super friendly! read more

Nice, chill Mexican bar/grill on the beach. I would recommend coming here for lunch instead of dinner because 1) you can actually enjoy the beach view since it's across the street and 2) the area looked run down and dark at night, and I wasn't even sure I was in the right place until I saw other tourists. This was recommended to us by a local so we checked it out since it was a stone's throw from where we stayed. I liked the Days of Our Lives portion of their menu, which had different specials every day. We came on Margarita Monday so we had $3 margaritas. Now for the food... we couldn't get our original order, or our 2nd order because the restaurant was out of ingredients. I originally wanted mahi and shrimp fish tacos, and bf wanted the guava BBQ sauce glazed ribs and wings. A few minutes after ordering, our waiter said they were out of wings, so we made adjustments. 5 minutes later, he came back saying they're out of mahi - so we again made adjustments. In the end, he still got the order wrong but by that point we were so hungry we didn't care. I appreciated that they gave us free margaritas for all the trouble though. True to Puerto Rican style, the portions were huge. The 4 fish tacos were DIY; good but not amazing. They ended up giving us salmon and tilapia, which I didn't think were good taco-worthy fish options. Bf really liked his guava ribs, but I thought they were meh. The meat could have been more tender. Overall, great option in the neighborhood for those tired of mofongo. read more

Fantastic location on the beach. Delicious food and fun atmosphere. We all loved our food, the pina coladas were delicious, the service was great, and watching the waves crash on the shore across the street was the cherry on top! read more

Beautiful view. Mediocre food and slow serive. We got the mushroom burger and the fish wrap. The fish wrap was really dry and burger was just average. The loaded potato wedges were ok- not enough toppings to truly be loaded. read more

Super yummy seafood shack with an ambiance you've been dreaming of!!! We can't believe how hard it is to find an beachfront bar in Puerto Rico, but to find a beachfront restaurant is even rarer... This place is located on one of our favorite Luquillo beaches, and the food and service was better than most. We will be regulars from now on!! read more

It's the Chiles of Luquillo. Pretty decent food all around and very friendly to tourists. We enjoyed the falafel wrap and a burger. Neither were the best we ever had, but it they were both pretty good. The atmosphere was great, it's right on the beach. The music was a little too loud and there was a huge tv right beside our table that was distracting. They were playing surfing videos, which I get the idea, but it reminded me of my busy life back home and brought me out of the relaxed beach life I was trying to enjoy. Lastly, the wait staff was great. We left our expensive camera there and they had it locked up in the office the next day. read more

This place has it all... great food, tasty drinks and friendly service!! The chicken wings are so delicious...guava or buffalo style...fresh and crispy. The bartender is super friendly. She makes the drinks perfectly, is very attentive and friendly! The waitstaff works hard too. Our waitress was wonderful. The view is amazing...the sound of the waves...the tropical breeze...surfers! This place is fantastic! read more

Boardriders has me at live music and food. Boardriders is a great local joint for great music, local artisan vibes, and good food! Oh and apparently there's karaoke every Tuesday until 9pm and.l maybe saturdays . We stopped by and enjoyed an open mic night. Loved all the decor inside, and as always is one big party all while listening to the waves crash and ocean view from the patio. Service was a little slow but the food compensated for that. The Baja bowl and wraps were promising and the grilled tilapia tacos were Devine! Would definitely come back. read more

Great place right on the beach!! Food was good and friendly service. We ordered apps a mix platter with chicken wings, loaded fries, quesadillas and cheese sticks, which took a while to come out but were delicious. Since the apps took a bit we placed our order for dinner so they would come out soon after the apps, which worked perfectly. My friends and I ordered the salmon salad which was on special, others ordered scallops, shrimp tacos, chicken caesar salad, and sirloin. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Only downside a few of us ordered soda and the cans were so hot we had to jeep asking for ice. But overall definitely worth the trip. read more

Surprisingly good! I was expecting start up bar food but got something better. To start we got the shrimp and scallops skewers. I liked the pesto sauce although the shrimp and scallops were a tad overcooked. I was starving so I still ate it! Taco Tuesday gets you two fish tacos for $6. I upgraded to the mahi mahi so it was $8. Gave one to my mom and she gave me half of the tropical mahi mahi wrap she had. The tacos were good even though they were served on flour tortillas. To each their own! The wrap was also very good and served with a sweeter pineapple relish. read more

We will go here any time we are in town. Service is great, Pina Coladas are rather amazing...one of my wife's favorites! It is a rough neighborhood, so heads up. It seems like the locals congregate here after surfing, so it is a fun atmosphere. We are non-smokers and couldn't handle the 2nd hand smoke, so changed tables and went inside. We loved the staff, they were very attentive to us the whole time. The food was average. But who am I kidding--the real reason we come here is for the Pina Coladas and location :) -- those get 5 stars. read more

It will make you feel like a local and you'll enjoy watching the surfers ! read more

We were on our way to the Bio Bay Kayak night trip and found this little hole in the wall on Yelp. When you first enter the neighborhood it seems as though you want to turn back since you enter a more low end area. But then you round the corner and you see the ocean with surfers hitting the waves. Boardriders is a diamond in the rough that overlooks the ocean and at sunset it sings. It was margarita monday, which means $3 margaritas. The Medalla Light local beer was also $1.25 for happy hour. If that's not enough to want to come here then the food is. I got the half rack of guava bbq glazed ribs with hand cut wedge fries. The meat fell right off of the bone as soon as I touched it. Not only that, but the sauce was incredible. The perfect combination of sweetness with a hint of a kick. I would highly recommend coming here if you are headed towards the rainforest or kyaking. Hands down. read more

Hard to be picky when there is no competition. Some servers are attentive and others will walk by you 10 times ( when there are no customers) and not even acknowledge you.

Very chill vibe and excellent food. We had the tuna bites, mozz sticks, quesadillas, burger, ribs & chi cc's ken combo and fish tacos.
