The best food, we had lobster and it was delicious and FRESH!! The waiter was amazing, perfect service and loved the concept of the restaurant. Definitely going back!

Half a dozen oysters - $12.5
Chendidi L.

We came here on the last day during our trip in Puerto Rico, wanting to check out Fajardo. We followed the reviews and found this place, agree with the overall 4/5 rating. We ordered three things: fish taco $4; red snapper $18 and oysters $12.5. Fish taro js a bomb, 6/5 haha. Only $4 and you will get a very sizable fish taro with just the perfect temperature and toppings. Go for them. Oysters are bad, 1/5. Very very fishy. I grew up by the ocean and can handle fishy food more than 99% of the people, yet this oysters appetizer is just sooo fishy. No no. Red snapper is okay, 4.5/5. It has good flavor and I am happy that they offered to boil it instead of deep frying it. I am so done with deep fried food after being in Puerto Rico for a week. The downside is that (1) this place doesn't have an ocean view though walkable to the water; and (2) because it is so close to the water, it has a lot of flies and bugs along with some smell.

Lobster and shrimp tacos

This place is pretty hidden! We stumbled across it when we were parked looking for a place to eat! We decided to be seated outside, they had standard plastic chairs and tables under canopy's. They did have a chicken coup with chickens casually walking around as we ate which was cool. I am vegetarian but normally I know places will have some sort of plate. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I had a side of vegetables and a side of rice and beans. The beans were cold as if they just came out of the fridge. My boyfriend had a lobster and shrimp tacos, despite being different from traditional tacos he said they were good. The appetizers were the BEST part of the place. We got fried plantains, coconut arepas, and corn sticks. All were super yummy. I definitely recommend this spot for some cheap apps and beers to hold you over until you're ready for a meal!

Not a friendly waitress,never comes around only when  is time to tip,she will stand there and wait

Run to la parrilla #2 about 10 min away ,food was not fresh and overpriced lobster.squid and octupus too soggy.we order few things and was not worth it .only locals are treated nicely if you are a tourist forget about good customer service .This is one of those hit and miss places we were recommended here but instead felt like we walked into my aunts backyard restaurant. Claims to have fresh seafood but not worth the money for better quality service and enough servers not to let you drown on your saliva go elsewhere any restaurant near la parrila will be great.Fish was mushy and paid $20 for just few pieces seriously their prices should be dropped if they want tourist to spend their money here .la estacion met our expectations enough servers and great food made by a real chef not a soggy old fish .if you want overpriced food and a place filled with fake reviews try it for yourself.one more thing we asked for lemon or limes and they said we ran out instead of walking next door and buying some from other restaurants we have no lemon we ran out.what kind of seafood restaurant have no lemon I had to throw away the leftover fish away .if the fish or lobster tasted great needs no lemon but butter was oily and greasy .take pepto and immodium when you go .you will be greeted by few roosters and get bitten by mosquitoes while you dine outside unless you want the locals screaming inside next to you go inside.if you think I am saying locals is because seems like they all know each other and they do get seated right away and get clean tables tourist get the end of the stick .

King fish (caught from deep sea fishing charter earlier in the day)

This place was great! We went on a deep sea fishing charter trip the same morning (the charter we did was KonKlma Fishing Charters - which I highly recommend!!) and were recommended to take our catch to this restaurant to have it cooked for us. They did not disappoint! They grilled our king fish excellently! We could not stop eating it. We also got 2 sides of vegetables and 2 sides of rice and beans stew, which were both splendid! We ordered a tomato base sauce on the side of our fish as well, and the sauce was excellent! Everything about our food and experience (including the service) was great! We would definitely come back.

Red snapper, rice and beans and passion fruit juice

Very nice place, we were sitting outside, nice breeze, we could hear the birds sing and sometimes we could hear the waves, I will recommend this place to my friends and family

Gross!!! Picture looks great but shrimp should be edible, not this one, it tasted old and smelled horrible!!!!
Nicole P.

This place is absolutely horrible!!! The only good thing was our kind and understanding waitress!!! We found this place on YELP and it was highly rated so we decided to try it out. The lobster tacos looked good from outside but once you cut them open a horrible fishy smell immediately hits you. Seafood should not smell like a sour rotten fishy smell. Took one bite and it was horrible, definitely wasn't lobster. We didn't eat them. Our meals came out and the shrimp was definitely old, my friend nearly vomited after first bite. I attempted a piece of mine and it was definitely bad!!! The mofongo was hard and no flavor. We returned our food. The manager came out very rude and told us it's fish it's supposed to taste fishy!!! Uhhh no!! Save your time and money and drive down a bit further to the other restaurants on the beach!!! We found a nice seafood restaurant a few blocks away and the seafood tasted so fresh and we learned it was all caught that day!

Fantastic fresh fish and a local atmosphere! Friendly service, and humble surroundings. Right on the shore by the entrance to Laguna Grande! Everything here is made fresh, using local recipes. Things are done "the traditional way." There are windows where you can see the making the arepas (fried bread), and while our kids were watching with fascination, they were invited to help out! We also got a personal tour of their fresh catches, as well as things they had tucked away in their freezer! This was probably our best dinner out in Puerto Rico, and we will definitely be back! Thanks to Manny for the history lesson, and local flavor!

I can be quite the food critic at times and let me tell ya, this place was nothing less than…read moreamazing. We stayed at the condos a couple minutes away so we decided to give them a shot based on the good reviews. Our waitress gave us all the best suggestions on the menu. I ordered the monfongo y camerones (shrimp) with the cilantro sauce. It was so good i almost ordered it twice just to take the second order home. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want some amazing Puerto Rican food.

I normally don't write long reviews, but this experience needed to be shared. My partner and I…read moretraveled from New York to Puerto Rico to visit his family for Thanksgiving week, and we decided to take his parents, siblings, and nephew out for a nice pre-Thanksgiving dinner. We saw Kalizo , thought it looked upscale and promising, and chose it for what was supposed to be a special family night. Instead, it turned into one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the service was disrespectful and careless. We were a party of six, and the host simply pointed to a section and told us to "sit over there" -- no greeting, no walk-through. He dropped the menus on the table and walked away. We sat for over 20 minutes with no one approaching us for drinks or orders. We had to stop multiple staff members just to ask, "Can we please get a waiter?" Each time we were told someone was coming, but no one did. When the waiter finally showed up, he acted rushed, uninterested, and dismissive. He kept telling us that several items we wanted were "not available," rushing us to pick something else. I ended up ordering something quick because I honestly didn't know if he'd ever come back. Meanwhile, there were only about three other tables occupied, and we noticed something very uncomfortable: The English-speaking white customers were getting A1 treatment -- constant refills, servers checking in on them, drinks delivered correctly, food synchronized -- everything. Our table, where we were mostly speaking Spanish with my partner's family, was basically ignored. Our drinks came out wrong. Refills took three or more requests. Food came out one plate at a time, so half the table was done eating before the rest of us even received our meals. My plate was missing the sides and sauces it came with. I had to physically get up and find someone to ask for them. At one point, after asking three times for a Sprite refill, I just stood up and went straight to someone and said, "Can you please just bring me a Sprite can, a to-go box, and the check?" because I had enough. The food itself? Not good. Definitely not worth the price. And the service? Terrible. A woman who worked there quietly apologized to us and said she saw everything happening, but she couldn't intervene because she wasn't a server. That says enough about the environment. Overall, it felt like we were treated differently simply because they assumed we were locals or because we were speaking Spanish. Meanwhile, the tables of English-speaking tourists got excellent service. What was supposed to be a nice family dinner turned into a frustrating, embarrassing, and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place, especially if you're expecting fair service or celebrating something special.

We do travel with a wheelchair. The server was very good and well knowledgeable on the menu. He was even photographed in the menu. We ordered a couple cocktails as well as many appetizers. We didn't order any entrees, as our family likes to try many things. My wife's favorite is ceviche and she was impressed by this dish. (Order it) We also ordered fish bites. Solid choice as the guava sauce was memorable. La arepas de coconut. Solid. The fish empanadas were great. Definitely order those. But calamari was chewy and overcooked. I'd pass on this. Cocktails were amazing. Spicy margarita is spicy!! I had a mojito which was delicious. You won't go wrong with any cocktail. Server was great. He did mention to me that we should order soon as the kitchen will get busy. We waited as we were enjoying our dinner. (We didn't have any problems) I'd go back. I'd also suggest sticking to your plan. It's your evening and don't let service control the experience. At the end of it...you control the tip = thank you.

I also tried the coconut mojito on the rocks, which was a standout: refreshing, well-balanced, and served with fruit (strawberry, cherry, and blueberries) mixed in. My wife had the fish mofongo, which she felt was just okay--decent, but not particularly memorable. That said, overall this is a great dinner spot if you're in the area. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors; we opted to sit outside since the AC inside was a bit too cold. Definitely worth checking out for a relaxed meal and solid cocktails.
