    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

    Good Mexican food with good quick service. Vegetarian friendly and outdoor seating. A short walk from the ferry.

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

    We came to almost empty restaurant. 90% of the tables were empty…read more Hostess measured us from top to bottom and said that there is no availability for next 2 hours because she is expecting tsunami of clients... all that because we are black and white couple... Congratulations. I will make sure to let all my fiends know, that if they are looking for racist place in entire PR this is a place to go!

    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.
