    Fried full red snapper
    Rosemarie S.

    The ambience of the flamenco area is full of energy and fun! We found El Pescador to be very crowded the evening we visited. We opted to be seated at the bar so we wouldn't have to wait for a table. The servers were not very personable but the food was fantastic! I highly recommend the fried whole red snapper. It was delicious but pick carefully so you don't get fish bones in your mouth!

    Extremely fresh fish tacos and great mango juice. I will definitely eat here again when in Puerto Rico.

Service is relaxed, I got a great table at 1 pm on a Friday and everyone around was just in full vacation mood. I got the calamari, mashed taro and passion fruit mocktail.

When we arrived for our reservation, it took awhile to be acknowledged and finally seated by the staff. When we were ready to order, our friend called our server, Enrique, to let him know. His reaction took us by surprise. He proceeded to tell our elderly friend that she needed to be more patient with him. He said that his section was full and that he was working alone. It was a very awkward moment and almost put a damper on our dining experience. We felt terrible for our dear friend who felt disrespected and humbled. Having worked in service industries for decades, we are fully aware of how stressful a dining room full of diners can be for a server. In this case however, we noticed that he only had 3 tables and that he was being assisted by other staff members. The manager, a very gracious host, seemed to sense something was not quite right. He paid special attention to our friend and managed to turn an uncomfortable situation into a pleasant one. The food was good, not great, but the setting was absolutely stunning. For Enrique, we left the minimum tip amount: 15% although we cleave at least 20%. 15% was a large tip in this instance. We left it because we figured that they might pool their tips and we didn't want to penalize all of the staff members. We'll return but only to the bar to enjoy the amazing view.

It was recommended by one of our tour guides so it is a great option for both locals and tourists. It had a nice atmosphere and very large menu with many different types of options. The Frutti di mare was one of the best pastas I've ever had! It had almost every type of seafood you could want. A great option for someone who wants to try a bit of everything. It was large enough to satisfy you but not too large where you have to take leftovers it back to your hotel. It also came with a salad and delicious bread. My husband ordered the yucafongo pollo, and was very impressed. It was also filling and well made. The drink menu also had a lot of options. I went with the sangria which was super tasty! It's more on the fruity side. Our service was great and we didn't have to wait long for a table or our food, although it seemed busy. Whether you live in the area or are just on vacation, I would recommended trying it out!

Everything was fresh and delicious! The portions were perfect for sharing and had a wonderful flavor! The shrimp tacos were lightly breaded and had a good flavor. The nachos had fresh ahi tuna and a great flavor with the seaweed salad! The service was good and fast too! The price was a bit high, but it's what you expect in a hotel lobby.

I'll admit, the ambiance made me hesitate for a moment and wonder if that said something about the food. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. I ordered the red snapper, and it was genuinely excellent. The sauce was the kind you don't forget: deep, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the fish. The fish was beautifully cooked - crispy on the outside while maintaining moisture. No overcooked meat here. Even the rice stood out, which says a lot. Everything worked together in a way that felt thoughtful and memorable. Despite having limited time on my Puerto Rico trip, this is one of those meals I'd actually come back for, maybe even order the exact same dish again. The flavors really stayed with me, and I already want to take them home.

    Cayo Caribe was overall a 7/10 for us. The flavors were good, but my chicken and my husband's steak…read moreboth came out dry, even though they were seasoned well. The rest of the dishes we ordered were just okay. The service was a little slow, and it took some time for our food to arrive, although the staff was friendly. A standout for us was the avocado salad. They topped it with a generous amount of perfectly sliced avocado, beautifully fanned out across the entire top. It must have been a big avocado because it covered the whole salad -- fresh, creamy, and absolutely delicious. But the true showstopper -- the dish that stole the whole night -- was the empanadas. I am an empanada snob, and these were honestly some of the best I've ever had in my life. The dough was flaky, moist, and flavorful, and both the beef and chicken fillings were incredible. I would return solely for these empanadas!

One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone. After being seated, our waiter hasn't been outright unkind, but there's a clear difference in how we're being treated compared to other guests. As a same-sex couple, it feels like we're not being received as warmly, even though he seems to be making an effort to remain professional.

The hot sauce on the table was nice, not too hot but a good kick, I usually do not like habanero based hot sauces but this was good! The Queso Frito was interesting in flavors & textures, delicious. El Conflicto was perfect, all the flavor of a pina colada but without the heaviness of syrups & sugar. The Pollo Borracho was super flavorful & filling, chicken cooked to perfection falling off the bone. My fiancé had the Carne Frita, it was super tender & a well balanced dish. Service was friendly & attentive. My only complaint- we were so full we couldn't even look at the dessert menu! Guess we will just have to go back.
