I ordered the ribs and wings combo. The ribs were also ordered by 2 other people in my party. All of us came to the conclusion that they were dry and lacked flavor. Given the restaurant has such a high rating from many people, we had high expectations. Our experience fell short of the expectations we had to say the least. On the plus side, the wings were very tasty and the service was very good. I would come back for the atmosphere, not the food. read more

nice music but horrible service from bartenders. Slow service. Place for locals and tourists.

Excellent food and service. Our waiter Oscar was very attentive and efficient. Fish tacos were delicious and ribs to die for! Definitely will come back and recommend this restaurant. read more

Had a really good chicken salad here and my husband said his fish tacos were amazing. The best sit down food we had all vacation. Our waiter was laid back and entertaining which fit right in with the view of the beach and waves. This place was well worth the money. No kids menu though which was hard on the kids but we found them adult options that worked. read more

I wish I could give negative stars for this restaurant. I can't believe anyone would give it a 5 star. Horrible service, horrible food,and dirty! No toilet paper or towels in bathroom. The only way this place stays in business is its location. Yes we went on Margarita Monday but even $3 margaritas (that were horrible) couldn't bring me back here. read more

The breakfast are excellent. Great atmosphere and service. Great hang out at night too!!

Nice view of the water. Good mohitos. But according to the chef there is NO gluten free food. Not even the salads. :(

Great atmosphere! But that's about it. We waited 30 minutes and never got our order! The only excuse was that there was a big order before us! Our server never acknowledged our order not being delivered, and when after we decided not to eat, and just pay for our beers, he gave us our change and never apologized or said one thing! Who needs it? First and last time there! read more

Not impressed ,had scallops which were rubberized. My husbands meal not great either fish tacos. The location is good.

Great ribs. Probably best ever. Too bad the service is terrible. If you want to get in and out don't go here. Plan on spending an extended amount of time here. Took 30 minutes to get a quesadilla and when it finally came out it was the wrong one. Then the server added up charge items on that we didn't even order. My family comes to Luquillo for the winter and have been here many times. It's too bad. The owner, Juan, really needs to get this place together or he will be out of business very soon. read more

Stopped by on the recommendation from a friend who frequented the place on their trip. They spoke of the fun atmosphere and great food. Apparently they have live music on weekend nights as well. We arrived on a Saturday around noon for brunch. The place sits across from the beach and since we sat on the bar overlooking the beach, it was a nice scene. We had the crabby benny - eggs Benedict with crab cakes instead of the usual ham. It tasted good, and the portions were ok for the price. I did like that the crab cake was mostly crab and not filler. They serve $3.50 bloody Mary's (which were good) and guava (or oj) mimosas. Service was good. I was thinking it would be busier, but I've found the area is suffering in the tourist market currently due to the Zika virus scare. Be sure to converse with "Tommy" a local craftsman who sells products here. Wonderful man who is full of island knowledge and just a great person to chat with. He also makes some nice items and we were happy to support his business. Would go back, if anything for a Bloody Mary with Tommy :) read more

Meh, my mahi tacos were dry and over cooked, but the shrimp ones were fantastic. Margaritas were made with a mix and not so tasty, but the coconut mojito was amazing! Awesome location and good service. read more

We went to this little place on the La Pared beach twice while staying in Luquillo. Our first time was for drinks and a snack while driving around on our first day to see what there was to offer in Luquillo. We ordered piña coladas and an order of mozzarella sticks. Our drinks took a bit to get made, and they were so apologetic. In fact, they gave us an extra shot of alcohol to make up for it. The gals working were super friendly and we talked quite a bite. They offered us more drinks (we obliged) and took care of us. We thought the menu looked good and my husband really wanted a burger, so we decided to come back later for dinner. I ordered the special of the night, "tza-tza tacos," with falafel, tzaziki sauce, feta, and tomatoes in a tortilla. I asked for them without tomatoes. My husband got a burger. We ordered drinks too. The food took FOREVER. There were a few guys working, none of the ladies who were there early in the day. They were NOT good at all. They didn't offer us second drinks, nor water. We couldn't even ask for it as they never came by. The food came, and my hubby liked his burger. He didn't like the hand cut potato wedges, which were flavorless. My tacos came with tomato on it. Ugh. Not easy to get off in chunks. They were so overstuffed that I couldn't pick them up to eat them. The falafal was bad. It tasted weird and maybe even burned. I choked some down but ended up eating tortillas with feta in them. Finally, we asked for the check. And waited. Waited. Waited. Waited while the waiters flirted with chicks at the bar. Waited some more. Very frustrated. We finally got it and got out. The experience was bad enough that we didn't go back, though we would have liked to for drinks. We were worried to get service from the guys! My advice is, go for drinks, but hope you get the female workers. read more

We happened by this place when our B&B in the mountains fell through and we stayed just down the road from Boardriders. The staff was great and casual. Best food we had in Puerto Rico :) Food is reasonably priced and good portioned. Everything we ate was delicious. Definitely a place to revisit! read more

Vibe is good, location is great, tasty coconut mojitos but the mahi fish tacos were dry and lacking flavor.

This place is delicious and ambience is great!! You overlook the ocean and the food was outstanding! We ordered crab legs for $20 and were shocked by the size of the legs!!! Highly recommend the fish/shrimp tacos (2x tacos for $6) , tuna bites and crab legs!! read more

We stayed right next door so went twice for dinner and another time for just cocktails. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Had awesome fish tacos and mahi-mahi wrap. As others of said, be sure to try the homemade hot sauce. Tried to go for dinner a 3rd time but they were allowing people to smoke outside on the deck even though there were no smoking signs. read more

totally recommend this place- get the mahi mahi wrap. $3 margs on mondays and live music every full moon :) perfect getaway

somewhat pricey for what it is, but a great beachside bar and grill. karaoke night is lively!

Had dinner last night, very good for wings, best burgers and fish tacos. Good value. But Monday's special is Margaritas, PASS THIS Not special, it is bottom shelf, poor tasting, less for less. read more

Boardrider's is a great surf, beach, restaurant right across the street from the ocean. It's Beach casual and perfect for lunch or late night drinks. They have live music on the weekends starting at 10 p.m. Definitely a five-star location and vibe, but the food was nothing spectacular, which is why I gave it four stars. I definitely think having lunch outside with ocean views or coming for late night for the live music it's probably the best time to check it out. read more

My husband and I took the advice of other reviews and we each ordered the tacos. My husband had the mahi mahi tacos and I had the shrimp tacos. The meal presented with all of the toppings separated on a platter so that you can build your tacos to your liking. We left full, so the portions were great! The prices are much cheaper here than other restaurants in the area! read more

Outdoor or indoor seating. Cool surf boarding theme. Food was delicious all around. We wish we would have come here earlier in our trip, we would have been sure to go back. It was a great way to spend our last night on the Island. read more

We searched for a good restaurant, and finally found it, good food and drinks! A great view and reasonable prices. Happy hour beer, would recommend the burgers and fish tacos. Best hot sauce!!! read more

Great place to hang out by the beach. Food is really good and they have drink specials too. We were able to watch the Packer game here and the 1/2 price wings and $1.50 Medallas helped ease the pain of a Packer loss. read more

Super good breakfast. Great view. Good service. Worth it for sure. Hip little surf vibe right on the water. Had breakfast. Good price.

Boardriders is the perfect spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the view. The restaurant/bar sits on the boardwalk overlooking La Pared surf break in Luquillo, PR. Frequented by locals, tourists and surfers, Boardriders is the perfect place to grab an ice cold beverage and bite to eat after a day at the beach. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent (american cuisine for the most part) and Sunday nights they have live music. The vibe is laid back - no shirts, no shoes, no problem. A visit to La Pared is not complete without a stop at Boardriders. read more

This restaurant was located next to the building in which we stayed for our vacation. We visited this restaurant 2 times...the day we arrived and on an evening where we realized we had nothing to eat in the condo and just wanted to go out for dinner. Great burgers...the kids loved their quasadillas and guacamole....good drink deals...the staff was very friendly! About $80 for our family of 5 to eat there, which did include some drinks for mommy and daddy. I am giving it 4 stars because my only minor complaint was that the service was a little slow. BUT, you really do not mind that as you are drinking pina coladas and listening the the waves that are across the street. Location is beautiful! read more

As others have said, fish tacos are great. Located right across the beach and a good spot to watch the surfers. Lots of locals, so you know it has to be good. Restaurant is located right next to Guavas, so we missed it the first time we walked by. Give it a go. read more

Service was good but food a bit slow to come out however we were in no hurry. Fish tacos are fantastic and be sure to try the guava hot sauce! Great drink specials as well so be sure to make this a stop for food meal. read more

If you are searching for a good bar this is the place... You have a great view to ocean, music, but the food for me before it was good, now its not the same, I always ate fish tacos, but now for me taste horrible, for me now taste like the mahi that came from sams bag ready for eat just in a few minutes !! The hamburguers are good !! And the ambient too !!! read more

Great drinks, perfect location and really good food. It's very reminiscent of so cal. The bushwhacker is dangerously amazing.

This is our new #1 restaurant as El Con customers. 2nd year at El Con and we found this place this year. You'll get raped at any El Con restaurant so be brave and drive out to Fajardo or Luquillo for dinner. It took 2 years but we found THE BEST place this year. Generally Luquillo is where you need to go. Los Kioskos are great even if your kids think you're about to be murdered by local gangs (it's really not that bad). Away from Los Kioskos more in downtown Luquillo is Boardriders. It's a surfer joint, literally right on the beach. The bar is active and rum-centric. Lots of locals. You know you're in a local joint by the clientele...and between your 9th grade Spanish and the waiters' broken English you can communicate just fine. It was great for our 10 and 12 year old kids. Fish tacos are LEGIT. Nothing is fried. Fish is right off the boat, with fresh veggies and beans and pico de gallo. The room is classic PR-upscale-dive, amazingly cool. The menu is written on the wall. Drinks are awesome, margaritas are made with real lime juice and not some bottled drek. Take a chance and go here....you'll be glad you did. read more

This was our last night in PR, we went to this spot. The waitress seem ok at first, she came back ask our order, my friend notice after we just said regular juice her attitude change. We waited about 20 minutes before she came back and ask what sides I order. After 30 minutes wait still no food, It wasn't pack at all just us and other party that already had eaten. So she comes back and ask is everything ok , I just explain its taken a long time for the food, we was debating should we just go somewhere else because it's getting late, early flight and we just want to relax, so she like yea she doesn't know why she can't go back in the kitchen herself, once I caught her snark and replied I'm not getting smart with you, so why are you she like oh no I wish I could let me check, after 5 minutes she comes back like it's coming off the grill the sides are cooking. But her tude starts coming out like are y'all going to stay or go that's all she kept saying and we just trying to see when really coming she like y'all going to stay or go, like if it was actually cooking and almost ready you would of apologize and assure us it was coming, but nope she didn't care. Once the attitude came from her we decided just to go, she didn't care at all. Just rude read more
