Great service and really good coconut arepas! Would definitely go back. Quick walk from el conquistador

Probably the best meal I had in Puerto Rico was at this little hidden restaurant. Went big and ordered the fried Queen Snapper with garlic sauce and it was delicious. Others in our party had the same and could not stop talking about how enjoyable our meal was. The service wasn't the greatest but the food made up for it! read more

La comida es riquísima y el servicio muy amable. Todo la comida estaba fresco y el restaurante tiene una vibra de familia. Fuimos un fin de semana feriado y Fajardo estaba bien lleno de gente. Hay muchos kioskos alrededor pero les recomiendo dar los pasos hacia atrás de Kayaking Puerto Rico. Con aire acondicionado y buenos precios, le doy el restaurante 5 estrellas! read more

Hay que verificar la cuenta. 2 arepas de pulpo en el menú decía 13 y las cobraron a 17, 2 ensaladas de pulpo por 67 dólares, inaceptable. Pedi una margarita que era pura azúcar, la devolví y la cobraron en el ticket, horrible, no recomendado. read more

Food was good, shittiest service I've ever received though. We had to seat ourselves after realizing everyone that came after us had gotten seated. Even then nobody came to check up on us and when they finally did we put our food orders in and then it took them an hour maybe a little longer to bring the food out. Crazy work fr... read more

El Bohio Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

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. read more

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! read more

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 . read more

El Bohio Restaurant - Not a friendly waitress,never comes around only when is time to tip,she will stand there and wait - Seafood Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

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. read more

El Bohio Restaurant - Red snapper, rice and beans and passion fruit juice - Seafood Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

One of the best meals we've had in Puerto Rico. Our lovely server Natty recommended the Queen Red Snapper fillet with garlic sauce, arepas, and mamposteao (which wasn't on the menu). A great place for dinner before or after kayaking on the Bio Bay. Note that you may share your table with chickens if you eat on the patio. :) read more

Very very good restaurant, 10minute walk from el conquistador. Recommend the whole snapper with the garlic sauce.

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! read more

Delicious food, great service and so accommodating! We showed up 5 mi minutes before they closed and they sat us and stayed for an hour after and couldn't have been nicer. We ate here before our Bio Bay trip, it's a 1 mi Ute walk on the other side of the fence of Kayak Village and a must try!! Best meal we had in Puerto Rico! read more

Arrived in kayak village on a Sunday evening before bio bay tour.. looking for a dinner spot and other places were not open.. stumbled into el bohio without knowing what was on menu.. we had the yummiest shrimp in garlic sauce and mofungo plus fried fresh fish of the day and finished with tres leches! Such a sweet and efficient service indoor and outdoor seating.. family friendly place. Loved the whole place! read more

We drove all the way out from Bayamon to have dinner here and were sadly disappointed. The fish was very fresh but the service was an utter disappointment. Unless you knew the servers or were regulars, be prepared to sit for +30 min before they even come to your table. The girls are too busy talking to their friends and chit chatting amongst themselves. English is limited but being addressed as "hey" and "chicks" does NOT make for a pleasant evening celebrating with your family. Definitely would not return!! read more

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! read more

pretty good home cooked seafood but quite pricey for what it is. I'm not sure, but I feel like I probably got the "tourist ripoff price". We brought our own fish for them to cook, thinking we'd get a discount for supplying the main ingredient. When we did this at Racar down the street, they cooked it for us free of charge as long as we ordered plenty of other dishes and drinks. At El Bohio, we ended up being charged $40 for them to cook a fish we caught and brought ourselves! And this is for a small grouper that feeds 2 people. It's our fault for not negotiating the price, but the restaurant also made no effort to inform us they were going to charge so much. Other items on the menu also seemed overpriced. The atmosphere is humble. Outdoor seating under an overhang and a tent atop a concrete driveway. No view. The food is actually not bad, but the possible price gouging left a bad taste in my mouth and I would not return. read more

WOW SIMPLY AMAZING! We stumbled upon El Bohio, a family owned restaurant after asking a local man for the best Fried Snapper in the area, he pointed us to El Bohio. To start, we had the shrimp tacos, now these aren't the tacos we are used to back in the states, they are deep fried deliciousness packed with small but deliciously sautéed shrimp. For dinner we all ordered the Fried Red Snapper, they brought out some fresh Snappers for us to select, I had a 1.2lbs Red Snapper and it was awesome! As a side I had tostones with Rice and Beans, the Red Snapper was super delicious, not greasy, just perfectly fried! The meat came right off of the bone with a fork, nice crispy skin and soft and very meaty interior. We met one of the Owners named Jose who happened to be a super cool guy, my friends and I instantly made a connection with him, two days later we were out hanging out on the island of Icacos with him, his wife and a friend of theirs, what an awesome time we had! We have been to Puerto Rico dozens of times and let me tell you, our experience with Jose of El Bohio was simply amazing! Please give these local gem owners a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent octopus vinaigrette and fish in garlic sauce. Make sure to ask for hot sauces (guava, lime, avacado) all phenomenal. Our server Dariana was extremely helpful and gave excellent suggestion about the food. Very beautiful little n place tucked away near Fajardo bay. read more

Spectacular food. Please do yourself a favor and checkout this place. We had two coconut mojitos which were the best mojitos we've had during our trip thus far. We ordered a conch and octopus salad, chillo in tomato sauce which comes rice and beans. We also had an order of amarillos. All of it was like a party in our mouths. Flavorful and satisfying. We will be returning to try other items on the menu. read more

Terrible service at best. 2.5 hours from the time we sat down till we got half of our food. While the service was friendly it was so slow and the food was not. Terrible flavor and rotten oysters. Sad showing for such an awesome area. read more

We found El Bohio (the house in the Taino language) through the recommendation of a local, as a place that was not very well known but extremely good. It is run by the family and it's in the downstairs of a house. There is inside and outside seating not fancy, but if you're staying on the east side of the island and looking for the freshest food with great family service. This is the place. We ordered the red snapper, because we know they catch it locally on that side of the island. After we placed our order, the young waiter came back and asked us if we wanted to change our order because the fishermen were just bringing in other fish to the restaurant that very minute. We stuck to the Chillo (Red Snapper). They serve Puerto Rican seafood in their own local style. Garlic, butter, local herbs. Local fruit juices passionfruit, tamarind, parcha, guava. The juices, like the fish, change depending on what is fresh that day. They offer a full bar and the friendliest service by either a member or a friend of the family. At about 10 minutes from El Conquistador hotel and 5 minutes from the Luminescent Bay Kayak Tours, El Bohio is a great stopping place if you want real local tastes and ambiance. read more

Tried to eat here but they were out of just about anything I'd like to eat--we are mostly pescatarian. No tacos, few choices other than conch (which would have been great in tacos). Maybe your experience would be different but I left to eat at home because nothing else was an acceptable takeout. read more

El Bohio Restaurant - Pargo - Seafood Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Such a great local place for seafood. Got sent here by our snorkeling guide as a place he loves to come himself for seafood. It's a local spot the fishermen bring their catch. We planned on dining at least once in Puerto Rico at a "high end" place (i.e. Expensive) once during our trip and had a few places in mind, but after arriving here we just decided to spend it all here. We ended up ordering fried plantain stuffed with lobster, lobster tacos, conch in garlic, octopus mofongo, coconut fry bread, tres leche, fish soup. The coconut fry bread was so good we got a half dozen to go (they also sell them by the dozen if you have a kitchen and want to fry yourself later). All told for the 2 (yea we're pigs) of us - under $100. read more

Without a doubt, the most memorable dinner during our week-long stay at El Conquistador Resort. REALLY fresh seafood and cool 1960's Puerto Rico vibe. Waitress-owner was extremely friendly. Fried whole fish was excellent... we tried the grouper, red snapper, and yellowfin tuna - probably would suggest yellowtail if you can try just one. Fried bread was awesome - be sure to try the fried coconut-flavored bread. read more

El Bohio Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

This is my family's favorite restaurant on the island! My late mother in law, late father in law, and husband have been going here for years. The food is incredible, and I've never had any issues with service, even when they are busy. This is always our first stop when we get to the island...even before we reach our house. When my in laws passed away, the owners were amongst the first to offer their condolences. They take their time to get to know their loyal customers and develop relationships with them. Thank you, El Bohio! read more

This place is amazing! We were sent here by our fishing guide at 787Fishing.com (Capt. Juan). He filleted our 8 lb. snapper for us and we brought it here to be prepared. They did half fried and half grilled. Both were amazing!!! The fried fish was cooked perfectly and not greasy at all - very light. The grilled fish had great seasoning and grilled veggies with it. So yummy. For sides, we had the reg. and coconut fried bread - unbelievable. Like sopapillas without the honey. ( so good we took extra home!). Salads were pretty basic, but fresh. Beer was cheap, too! $1.75 per. Very close to biobay tours and a perfect stop after. The owners are commercial fishermen so you know the fish is fresh. Whole meal for 5 people was only $53! Very clean place and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Wish we had another night on vacation to come back!!! Don't miss El Bohio!!! read more

El Bohio Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Great food! We all had the Dorado in garlic sauce. Don't forget to get the arepas for an appetizer. Located right next to kayak village.

Given that this restaurant is located down a dirt road, adjacent to a construction site, in a poorly fenced off shack, I was surprised the food was very good. To be honest, I am surprised I ate here. I am surprised my husband even talked me into getting out of the car. Very dive-y and literally a shack. Single me would never be here, but apparently love does make you do STRANGE things. My husband has been on the hunt for a fried red snapper ever since the local restaurant shut down, taking his beloved dish with him. Believe it or not, this is the THIRD spot he tried during our THREE day trip to Puerto Rico that listed a fried red snapper on the menu- -neither had fish in stock when we arrived. His relentless craving for a fried red snapper brought us here for lunch. We sat at a dilapidated folding table, covered in a clean-ish table cloth, in cheap plastic patio chairs and my husband ordered. I admit, I pulled out some Clorox wipes and wiped down EVERYTHING. My husband orderd the Camarones (shrimp) and Lobster taco wraps and the elusive fried snapper. The waiter brought over some Fried Bread as a starter. The Camarones (shrimp) and Lobster Tacos were surprisingly delightful. The sauce was delicious and the taco wrap was quite flavorful. Fried bread was deicious!! Just the right texture and seasoning. I couldn't make out the precise flavors, but they were delightful. Finally, my husband's Fried Red Snapper.... DELICIOUS!! Different than the one at his previous restaurant, but amazing. He devoured it and was thrilled!! The perfect amount of crispy outside, flakey inside.... Given the look on his face, I knew if we were here another day, we would have been back for every meal. ***Note this restaurant is located well past Estacion, just before the loop where you rent the kayaks. Down a tiny construction laden driveway looking road with a restaurant sign that is not visible until you turn around on the road. read more

I came here with my husband and my mom for lunch, while the food was great and the prices were ok the service could use some improvement. Our waitress was a bit rude and not very helpful, we had to wave at her multiple times because she wouldn't come to ask us if we were doing ok or if we needed anything. She was only nice at the end of the meal, when it was time to pay. We are both originally from Fajardo but moved a couple of years ago to DC for work. I honestly think we didn't get treated well because we are on the younger side and basically locals. I'm pretty sure that if you're a tourist, you'll get a better service. P.S. The coconut arepas are to die for! We ended up buying them frozen to take them back to DC. We ordered 3 fried chillos, sweet plantains, coconut arepas, rice and beans and it was all very good. The only thing I would stay away from is the "tostones with lobster", they were tasteless. read more
