The house sangria is by far the best on the island and the views are spectacular. I've ordered the whole snapper at many places and this one is top tier.

This review is only for drinks and appetizers…read more I have been to Piñones many times and I just want to say if you are visiting Puerto Rico, it's a great place to have local food and enjoy some breathtaking views. The Reef Bar or should I say, The New Reef has the kind of vibe you dream of when visiting Puerto Rico. Not only do they serve traditional Puerto Rican Cuisine, but the restaurant has Outdoor seating with incredible Ocean views. Unfortunately, the view also includes the trash below. I think the restaurant would really benefit from having it cleaned. We only stopped by for appetizers, but wow what a treat. My husband and I shared an Octopus Salad and Arepas. I also had a Piña Colada and it was absolutely delicious. The prices here are also very reasonable and the service was great. This would have been a 5 star review, if it wasn't for the trash.

My guy and I started with Watermelon Mojitos, which were weak in alcohol and watermelon flavor. I got the Pupus Tostada, which was pretty, but very wet and it caused my tostada to break quickly and became a messy meal to eat. Octopus was fresh, but the flavor was buried under all the lime. My guy got the Red Snapper and it was fun to eat and tasty! I've never eaten fish like this before, but would do it again. I only had a bite or two where it was dry. There's a reason they are known for this dish and I highly encourage you to give it a try if you can! However, you could probably due with skipping their other offerings.

We arrived during a very hot time in SJ, so we were very thirsty most of the time. We found Pal'Agua near the water and decided to stop. It is a small cozy place with pretty turquoise decor. The ambiance is casual and friendly. There was a large marina there with many sailboats and other beautiful boats. There was room inside to eat or sit outside for the view. We found a good table facing the marina and water and had a couple of afternoon drinks. They weren't very strong and we drank water with them. We still had a few hours to drive. Our server was very nice, and we spoke in our broken espanol to her, and she spoke in her broken ingles to us. We loved being there. Soon, it was time to drive on, and we said our goodbyes. There was plenty of parking at the site.

This hidden gem was a 10 minute ride from the resort I stood at while in PR, I only regret not…read morehaving come across it sooner. My boys and I decided to walk the shore with the intentions on trying one of the restaurants alongside the beach for lunch and settled on this spot after seeing their ratings. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which was a huge relief given we were in much need of AC. The place wasn't crowded but it had its share of people- deff looked like a popular spot for the locals. Staff were welcoming and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from it made it hard to pick. I decided to leave it in the waitresses hand to suggest an app and entree for myself. She recommended the mini acapurrias that came paired with a guava sauce and the shrimp mofongo made from a mixture of sweet plantains and tosotones-it was mouth watering good. I'll have her to blame for the longing I'll have to endure of such an incredible dish. I have personally never finished any mofongo but this one I damn bear licked the plate. The shrimp was juicy, fresh, the garlic not overbearing. The amount of caldo was just portioned so as kiss the amount of mofongo served. My kiddos loved the mini alcapurrias. They were crisp, hot and paired deliciously with the guava sauce. My eldest had the churrasco which he described as being juicy and tender and my little guy had the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries which were a treat. I would absolutely - more like religiously- would return to this spot.

For the sake of this review it important to know that I along…read morewith one of my other friends are two light skinned black women but the rest of our friend group are darker skinned black women. At first, the food was pretty okay. I got waited on and served relatively quickly. However, my darker skinned friends had to wait a longer time not just to order, but also to get their food. One of my darker skinned friends ordered three empanadas and only received two. When she tried to speak to one of the servers about getting her third empanada they refused. She said she was willing to pay for it, but they refused to serve her what she asked. Then, they said there's always a problem with "you people". Then all of a sudden they lied and said she was trying to scam them. As we're walking out, they start cursing at us and saying things like " I hope everyone except you (referring to my darker skinned friend) has a good day". The servers were overall very disrespectful, they cursed, and they were overly unprofessional. So even though the food was okay this was a horrible experience. As we were leaving, we saw two other darker skinned black women walk up to try and order. We told them about our experience and the servers started lying and saying that we are there every day and always causing problems. This was also untrue. That was the first time we've ever been to this restaurant. We walked a block down the street to wait for our car service. Then moments later, we bumped into the same dark skinned black women we saw earlier and they told us that their presence wasn't even acknowledged. So like I said even though the food was pretty okay. It wasn't good enough to be okay with the blatant colorism where it wasn't expected.

What a perfect little hidden gem right off the beach in Isla Verde.

It's a teeny spot with only about 10 seats, so you may have to wait. We were lucky to go on a cloudy day and snagged a little table. Chicken wings, pulled pork tacos, and the pork stuffed tostones are all yummy. There's an herby green sauce on them that is out of this world. Fresh and bright. Mojito was good, I'd steer clear of the margarita (seems like a mix is used). The OceanLab IPA was local and yummy.
