    Steak and Cuban Fufu
    Spencer Z.

    Excellent food. Loved the shrimp and mamposteado rice. The steak was also great. Cuban Fufu was pretty good. All around great food. Would certainly return.

    a plate of fish and rice

    The best meal I had in all of Vieques...excellent food and drinks! Red snapper was phenomenal.

    El Canon (fried pork) - dry and chewy

    Two stars because the drinks were decent. The service left a lot to be desired. It wasn't the friendly greeting and treatment we received everywhere else on Vieques. I ordered Gallito. $23 for two small pieces of unseasoned grilled chicken, with plain white rice, and a small bowl of beans. Not what is pictured on Yelp. We also ordered the fried pork which was dry and chewy. Beike Bistro across the street was much better! I recommend skipping El Local unless you're just coming for drinks.

    Coconut dessert and their coffee creme brûlée -
    Debbie V.

    This place was absolutely delicious. We ordered the malecón (fried whole snapper with churrasco and a mashed potato, spicy churrasco) - so good! We also ordered el chuleton (tender pork chop with yellow rice and green beans) - absolutely delicious. We also ordered the two desserts on the menu and didn't leave a single spoonful left. I overindulged and it was worth it. The bartender made us amazing cool drinks. Definitely recommend and will visit again when back on Vieques. Thank you!

    Skirt steaks. Super tender
    Joel P.

    Excellent food. We ordered the lobster and crab turnovers and they were awesome. For the main course we got the skirt steaks, and they were very tender. They even brought us quenepas from a tree at the back of the restaurant. The coffee flan was also really good. Highly recommended

    Got the whole fried fish and was the worst whole fish we ever had. It had no flavor and was very very fishy

    I went with my partner while vacationing in Vieques. It was easily the best restaurant we ate at. Everything we ordered was delicious.

    We came to almost empty restaurant. 90% of the tables were empty…read more Hostess measured us from top to bottom and said that there is no availability for next 2 hours because she is expecting tsunami of clients... all that because we are black and white couple... Congratulations. I will make sure to let all my fiends know, that if they are looking for racist place in entire PR this is a place to go!

    We heard great things about this restaurant from online searches and our BNB owner - who claimed…read morethey had the best burger he's ever had. He's also a Philly native so he knows about burgers and cheesesteaks! We were excited to try and it was a rainy day in vieques. We had no reservations, but hoped to get one. We came when the restaurant opened. Hostess was downright rude and condescending. We were told our group of 4 could sit at the bar at 6pm since they are "booked". When I informed her that online I was able to make a reservation for 4 at 5:30 or 5:45pm, she rolled her eyes and said you can try if you want. So I did and was able to get a seat at a table for 4 by 5:30pm. Waitress was also rude. Maybe everyone was having a bad day? They all just started though? But with some jokes and kind words, I think the waitress warmed up to us. Food was phenomenal, some of the best food we had in Puerto Rico hands down. Drinks were also top notch. Prices were high but expected for where we were. Would have given 5 stars all around if service was significantly better. Which by the way, when we finished dinner, restaurant was still half empty.

We had 1/2 dozen appetizers, several bottles of wine, and various drinks. The lobster was delicious! I am guessing that Laura B has never had carribean lobster - which is by its nature a bit more stringy and tough than a Maine lobster - but still completely delicious! My wife had the same and loved hers too.... The service was also top shelf, and the view out over the ocean spectacular. I would highly recommend El Norte.

Her demeanor was very unsettling and unprofessional. The server was great and food was good! Towards the end of the night they had a wet floor sign in front of the bathroom. We were careful and passed the sign and used the restroom. My friends used it after me and apparently it was out of order. IM SORRY but.... How is a wet floor song going to tell me your restroom is out of order. . She rolled her eyes and asked her "are you really using the restroom it is out of order"? She approached it in a very unprofessional manner, not to mentioned my friend had no idea what she said only her body language. I really do believe there is a way to communicate and this was not one of them. Learn how to be professional and treat people with respect. Don't laugh at someone's face and make them feel stupid. That's all :)
