    Beautiful mural to help you find it!

    These folks do it right. Mojito was excellent. All our good was really yummy! The service was also attentive and friendly. Best Mexican food on the island. If you have to wait for a ferry this place is close and has fun ambiance! Must visit!

    the coconut mojitos were bomb. the taco platter was great. the quesadilla was smaller than expected. we sat outside on rained on benches. be sure to eat before the birds get to you.

    No Bueno! Greasy mess of food. Extremely slow service. It took 30 minutes for drinks from the bar. Our food came first. No drink refills. The meat was chewy and tasteless. The beans were dripping in grease and the queso fondido was a solid block of cheese we had to cut with a knife. One person in our party said "I like the chips and that's about it". We when tried to talk to the staff about the food they were indifferent and did not reply.

    What a gem. Beautiful ambiance and the food is excellent. Met the owner and he gave us a hat and lanyard. Waitresses are wonderful. Highly recommend

    Best fajitas I've ever had!! They came out sizzling. And my hubby loved his tacos with homemade crispy shells.

Service was quick and nice. One thing to mention is it's kind of open air so later in the dinner began to get a little bit of bug bites. But other then that

    We heard great things about this restaurant from online searches and our BNB owner - who claimed…read morethey had the best burger he's ever had. He's also a Philly native so he knows about burgers and cheesesteaks! We were excited to try and it was a rainy day in vieques. We had no reservations, but hoped to get one. We came when the restaurant opened. Hostess was downright rude and condescending. We were told our group of 4 could sit at the bar at 6pm since they are "booked". When I informed her that online I was able to make a reservation for 4 at 5:30 or 5:45pm, she rolled her eyes and said you can try if you want. So I did and was able to get a seat at a table for 4 by 5:30pm. Waitress was also rude. Maybe everyone was having a bad day? They all just started though? But with some jokes and kind words, I think the waitress warmed up to us. Food was phenomenal, some of the best food we had in Puerto Rico hands down. Drinks were also top notch. Prices were high but expected for where we were. Would have given 5 stars all around if service was significantly better. Which by the way, when we finished dinner, restaurant was still half empty.

The elote ribs were such a fun and satisfying appetizer, and the ceviche was incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and had such a great variety of textures. The cocktails were amazing too. But the gnocchi!! My partner and I genuinely agreed it was the best gnocchi we've ever had - and that includes all the restaurants we've tried on the mainland. Absolutely incredible. Oh! And all while having a beautiful view of the ocean. Highly, highly recommend. It was the perfect way to end a day at the beach. And a special shoutout to Juan for taking such great care of us and making sure we had a wonderful experience!

Not going well for a Saturday night fine dining experience, right??? We were also told at that time we had to place appetizer and main orders at the same time -- keep in mind I've not yet placed a drink order... No seafood tower... it was retired on the menu yet we came almost 3,000 miles for it), and a fine dining menu that came super far from even being close to fine. No celiac options and while billed a great option for fresh inventive dishes, we found this place a huge let down and not willing to try. The front end staff needed a lot of help. The menu looks unrehearsed and neglected. I was glad to not spend my money here. Thankfully, we could leave before the $50 bottle of wine we ordered arrived. We went elsewhere!
