    Yum ! My favorite here was the Pincho de camaron-a crispy fresh shrimp skewer with crispy tostones, felt like a party in the mouth on the roadside of the Island of Vieques. Looking foRward to my next visit already. Viva Vieques!!!

    Stopped by after Biobay tour. Was afraid that at 10pm the restaurants on Malecon would be closed. What luck. This ended up being the best meal we had on the island. The chicken and shrimp kabobs were tender juicy and well seasoned. Fried pork was delicious as well. The fried plaintain went perfectly with the meal. I honestly would have ordered more but they ran out of food. Everything for 20 bucks. I was stuffed. So, don't get turned off by the ghetto looking food truck. Great food. Friendly people. Easy on the budget. That's a 5 star any day.

    This place is incredible. The food is cooked and seasoned to perfection. I had both chicken and shrimp skewers. I wish I could take this truck back to Chicago. Damn. I highly recommend. Very affordable. Great quality. Nicest people.

    Chicken pincho

    We ordered 3 chicken, 2 pork, and 2 shrimp pinchos, a beef stuffed potato, and a fried pork with plantains. This was ordered to go for my family of 4. Everything was delicious! The barbecue was tasty and the sauces that we're included were awesome too! This was enough to fill the 4 of us. Don't hesitate to order to go, the pinchos are wrapped in foil.

    Shrimp skewers....THE BEST

    Everything from this truck was delicious. The fried pork was the best we had on Vieques and the pastelillos were AMAZING

    Opens late (although not on all days), so it's great to have after your bio bay tour. Independent of that, the food is pretty great too.

    We went without a reservation on Xmas eve. Tin box was recommended by a local. Suchi and slow…read morecooked meats don't typically go together and here they are actually separate kitchens. We were seated right away with friendly staff . We ordered fruit juice (mango and watermelon) and got them right away. They were excellent and super cold (maybe too much ice and not enough drink). Boxsalad--one of the few salads we saw on a menu in the island. It was outstanding. Fresh greens and perfectly toasted pine nuts and a mango vinaigrette. We don't eat a lot suchi but we thought both the rainbow rolls and Buddha rolls were solid. BBQ platter-ribs were outstanding!!! Mac and cheese was okay, I would not order again. Slaw was good and pulled pork was great. Corn is a hard no. Chicken was okay (best we've had in the island). Pork taco plate was very good. Excellent tacos, and fries were solid We would definitely return!

    The sushi was good however the BBQ i recommend you stay away from it had poor portions, was hard…read morewith no taste & took forever to arrive. This place was short staffed big time, ambiance was subdue early evening. Food took forever to arrive. Pretty good parking. 1 bathroom of the 2 was unusable. Nice people working there though. This is a tin metal construction structure in pure 100% rural location with chickens, roosters, iguanas around place. Pictures would not help this place so none provided.

    Blue's is like the bar on Cheers-everyone knows your name and if they don't, they'll ask for it…read more It's our first meal when we come and the last when we go-with many great meals and good times in between. Eddie and Jace set the tone with great service and generous drinks at the bar. The burgers are the BEST and the potato salad gives mine a run for its money. The menu has something for everyone and it's all delicious! Sunday has brunch (amazing breakfast bagel sandwiches as well as other great choices) and bingo (Tim calls a fun game!) and there is also live music on different nights. I am remiss in not knowing the cooks names-and they deserve a shoutout for the excellent food! It truly is like someone's backyard-open air and homey. Treat yourself to a true island treasure and visit Blue's. PS-a friend created this of Eddie at the bar with AI-and it rocks!

    Grabbed some takeout from here…read more I had the 3 meat platter with beef brisket, pork ribs, and italian sausage. The beef brisket was a massive piece of beef, about 3 inches thick. It was tender and juicy. The italian sausage was sauteed in red onions with red and green peppers. The pork ribs were fell off the bone easily. There were 2 sauces to go alojg with the meat. I liked them both. My only issue was that the meat had too much smoke flavor to the point that it tasted like soot to me.
