    Fish tacos and curly fries | 4/23/2023
    Samantha C.

    On our little road trip around the island, we stopped by here for food and drinks. This was actually one of the better stops we had. I ordered calamari and fish tacos, which were good and plentiful. Service was great in the beginning, but towards the end of our meal, they kind of disappeared. Bonus that they had bathrooms and they were clean! Would definitely suggest adding this as a stop if you're doing a road trip around the island as well.

    On an evening where two of the places we tried were unexpectedly closed, Duffy's was a fine alternative. The host was super kind seating a large party. The mampasteao was the best. The fried red snapper (a special) was tasty. The tostones were bland and too thick. Everything else was fine.

    Fun bar by the beach. Great vibe. We opted for seats at the bar which are swings. Service was decent. Drinks were good.

    This place has a really good vibe. It's right in front of the water which makes it very very fancy and nice to sit around. Watch some water. It's windy and it's a perfect spot to nice drink a few observations about this places that they have a lot of farm fresh fishes and very few wild cart fishes which is surprising because it's an island and I would assume that everything should be wild caught by default, but the food was OK. The service was great. I was expecting them to have a better seafood there, but it was not the case, and we enjoyed the experience visiting this place though.

    We saw that the spot had a really nice reviews and compared to the other restaurant directly next to it. It was booming with business. We decided to walk in and we were not disappointed! We ended up sitting by the bar with chair swings, which was pretty cool. You can lock your swing in so it's not moving which is good for when you're eating, but if you're casually drinking, leaving it open is fine. I ordered mamposteao and chuletas and the meal was pretty solid (especially the mampo)! The piña colada was your standard but especially after a day of swimming I gulped that sucked down. Some of the staff actually appeared to be Australian/Kiwi which I did not expect but they were cool! Island sees island Anyway, def a great spot and would totally go back if I were to visit Vieques again.

    Arepas with the poke bowl are the pro move

    We just checked into our adorable boutique hotel down the street and wanted to grab a quick nosh to curb our appetite before dinner and weren't expecting much-- so we were especially pleased with what we had! Duffy's has definite Señor Frog vibes with gigantic 24oz souvenir cups and "ask us about our Jell-O shots" on the menu, but the food is legit and the craft beer selection is stunningly good for an island dependent on ferried supplies. We had the peel and eat shrimp which were huge and the cocktail sauce was horseradishy hot and good, the fish tacos grilled - HUGE with generous fillings and delicious aioli tasting sauce- and finished off with arepas paired with the tuna poke - pro tip put the poke and seaweed salad into the arepa for an amazing little Puerto Rican Hawaiian fusion moment. We were thrilled also to have all our favorite beers from across the island available, which we didn't expect here-- everything from the west side's Rincón Brewing and Boxlab to Ocean lab and old Harbor from San Juan. (As a beer geek I was delighted.) The service was great with super friendly staff plus the ambiance was pure beachy casual realness with swing chairs at the bar that buckle in to ensure the soused guest doesn't get too crazy. Definitely gonna get a tee shirt before we leave- the vibe is right! And it's been around for decades, (founded in 1969) which is honestly incredible to see. Don't miss this iconic spot.

    Stopped in while on vacation to Esperanza Beach. This particular day, it was a rather rainy day, so it cut our beach day rather short. We stopped in to grab a bite to eat before we had to catch the ferry back to Farjado. We decided to grab some quick appetizers and some cocktails. The service and staff was nice. Wasn't a big fan of the appetizers we got. We started with the spicy crab. I was thinking it was going to be with jumbo lump crab, but they utilize imitation crab which I'm not a fan off, it was tasty. And we got the fish bites, they we're nicely battered, just wish they had seasoned their batter, the fish was extremely bland. They have really good cocktails. Definitely will give them another try next time I'm in PR

    We loved this place we went twice during our visit to the island. People were friendly and pricing was reasonable. The pina colada was on point. Food was very fresh and delicious. We made memories that will last forever!

    Ocean views from a boisterous bar setting. Lots of action and people watching and some solid fairly priced food options. Our meals were delivered and served well. Watch out for the drink garnishes as they were hand touched instead of using the tongs in the bucket by many. Our grilled fish tacos and chicken sandwich were done well and served up hot and fresh. Overall a win, just watch out for the fruit!

    Delicious and fresh tasting seafood. Ordered their virgin piña colada which highly recommend. Fish tacos were great portions and calamari was nicely breaded and fried. The atmosphere is wonderful overlooking the ocean. If you're in the area, highly recommend!

    We were looking for an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant on the beach and we stumbled across this place. It was a bit Americanized in my opinion but the food was pretty good. Fried tacos were great. Drinks were a bit weak and the ceviche wasn't the best but the service was decent.

    Tourist Trap prices but decent food. The grouper bites were good not a lot to choose from, but I would go back.

    Menu has fried food/ "American" food but it also features a ton of fresh fish on the menu which makes it great for Esperanza.

    First, the staff is insanely good at service and crafting the drinks. I was amazed sitting at the…read morebar as they made these drinks. Not to mind the price is perfect. I never had a bad drink here out of the two nights and many drinks had. The layout is amazing with multiple rooms, bars, and DJs. Anything from techno, pop mixes, to latin. Yes i did salsa with the love of my life. No that has no influence on my review haha. Definitely recommend for a night out!! During the weekday we didn't have a line but it was still full inside. On a Friday we had a short line at 10:30 and it was packed.

    Popped into this place to check out the music. The hotel staff recommended it. The ambience was…read morespot on there were two different rooms, actually three. Each of them have different music. One room, the main area had salsa, dancing, and music and eventually at 9:30 PM a live salsa band came on. That was a whole lot of fun however it was very crowded. The second room had a nice house music going on. There was a bar and a DJ and it was not as busy as the main area was. And the third room was the bar that leads to the outside called La Cubanita, which was playing mellow lounge music with a tropical beat. The food at La Factoria was definitely overrated and just OK. I did not think it was worth the price and I probably would not eat there again. None of us really liked what we ordered, but we ate it because well... We were hungry. They do offer a wide range of beverages from your standard beer, wine, and top shelf brands, however, they are known for their own concoctions. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. Overall, we had fun, and it was not too pricey for the beverages. I don't think that I would ever go again, especially not later in the week as it is so busy, and we went on a Monday and we were dancing cheek to cheek!!! Enjoy!
