Drop everything and get over here!…read more El Resuelve has, hands down, the best empanadas in Vieques and maybe the whole world. It's unassuming from the outside, open air cafeteria style with a small kitchen and a sign it's easy to miss, but the food? Delectablé! The fish is fresh, the beans are spiced, the hot sauce is tart and warm. And if you're caught on Vieques on a Tuesday when 90 percent of food vendors are enjoying a siesta, this spot will fill you up before you hit the beach. You'll need a ride as it's more inland than most food joints, but it's well worth the flight, ferry, and ride from wherever you are!

It's a 10 min walk from the ferry, very easy. Def a place to just eat and go. Whole fried fish, 4/5: Only $28 for a whole snapper. Not fishy at all--something your local grocery store can make for you. Great shareable option for a filling dish. The yellow rice with beans hit! Def get that as a side. Hamburger, 3.9/5: Nothing special but the beef was very tender and cooked to a perfect medium well. The bun isn't toasted so the burger overall is very soft. Fries were good, not seasoned much but crispy and airy. $18 Chicken soft tacos, 3.9/5: Probably wouldn't get this again. It's like a chicken tender with coleslaw but no dressing so it didn't blend together. $15

We had some finger food for appetizers: Croquettes and Mozzarella Sticks. Both were quite tasty. Croquettes were satisfyingly crispy stuffed with yummy filling, served with an irresistible sweet and savory sauce. The Mozzarella Sticks had a flavorful crunchy exterior and amazing cheese pull. I ordered the Fried Pork Chop with a side of Yuca Mash with bacon and peppers. The plating was beautiful. This Fried Pork Chop was HUMONGOUS and impressive looking. The meat was tender, oh so juicy, succulent, and well seasoned. It was absolutely delicious! The Yuca Mash didn't have enough pronounced pieces of bacon and peppers throughout, so I wasn't the biggest fan. I was able to sample the Rice and Peas, which was cooked perfectly, fluffy, and wonderful. What a hearty meal! Service was excellent. Everything came out in a timely manner and we were well taken care of throughout our time here.

Not sure if it was the kitchen or the waitress. -the shrimp dish only came with 5 small shrimp. It was surprising as it looked like it was missing substance. These were not large or jumbo shrimp. - the tostones were rock hard. It almost felt like they had been cooked and fried before and then retired/heated for our meal. Overall a good eatery, would go back.
