We got recommended here from our hotel concierge and she did not disappoint. This place is highly frequented by the neighborhood regulars but it's hard to hide such a delightful gem like this. So not surprisingly you have a steady stream of tourists who are constantly trickling in the entire time as well. The ambiance is a lot to do with the experience here. It is all outdoor seating with 5-6 different spots you can choose to sit. The seats and tables are set up in bare minimum style and they focus more on the food and the local chill vibe they flow through this place. Apparently, the food we ordered were mostly street food appetizers. This was mainly because they had so many delectable options in the app section that we ended up solely ordering a wild medley of their assorted apps. We tried their Risotto & Chorizo Croquettes, Stuffed Fried Plaintains (Spicy Crab, Beef, & Shrimp), Spicy Crab Eggrolls, & Fish Tacos. Everything was good but the Shrimp Stuffed Plaintains were the most delicious. The bonus to this place is that they rock upbeat electronic music like an upbeat lounge you'd come across in New York or LA. It doesn't hurt that you are seconds away from an unoccupied beach front where you can dig your toes in the soft sand and the cool water splashes up to your ankles all afternoon long. It is a mini paradise spot that you must check out.

We parked and sat ourselves and were quickly told the kitchen would not open for an hour - that explains why there were no customers.

We ordered several food items to try and enjoyed each one. By the time we left, the place was packed. Contra Viento y Mearea is now on my list.

Great customer service, attentive staff, quick delivery of food and amazing flavor to all we had. The seafood, was all so tender and well cooked. The plantains both in mofongo and tostones were made to perfection, and the best of all? The bartender spotted us on a second visit and immediately remembered what we drink, even when it was a month apart. That is the kind of service that we pay for and I am now recommending this place to all my friends right in front of the beautiful ocean and with ample parking.

Review #1,043 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We stopped here after arriving & getting settled at our room/spot on Wednesday the 22nd. We had seen this spot online a lot & were looking forward to the fried stuff. So when we came, the line wasn't too long, but they were out of bacalaitos which was the main item I wanted to try. They went to make them fresh, which we were looking forward too, it took a bit, but Buddy finally went to the back to fry some fresh ones up. I've got to admit, I was disappointed on how the actual bacalaito delivered. It felt like all bread, I couldn't taste the fish. If the fish was in here, it was one of the more chincier portions I've ever got. Now what saved the day & also blew me away was the Alcapurria de carne. This little thing was on hit, I should've ordered 2. It's like fried plantain, with ground beef inside, the plantain even though fried was extremely soft. I'd come back & eat here 100%, a must when visiting the PR.

The dining is outside to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach. This restaurant is known more for seafood. They also have typical fried foods. A full bar, beer and drinks.

We all enjoyed the flavorfullnes of the fried foods. My plate the chicken, rice and beans was just ok. It tasted bland and the rice was clumpy and hard. This is a seafood restaurant and everyone else seemed pleased with their seafood dishes. I wouldn't order my dish again.

Listen, I'm a Florida girl, and I know good fish, so when I tell you this was the best fish I've ever eaten, believe me! It was so good, we ordered a second plate to go!

The Reef Bar or should I say, The New Reef has the kind of vibe you dream of when visiting Puerto Rico. Not only do they serve traditional Puerto Rican Cuisine, but the restaurant has Outdoor seating with incredible Ocean views. Unfortunately, the view also includes the trash below. I think the restaurant would really benefit from having it cleaned. We only stopped by for appetizers, but wow what a treat. My husband and I shared an Octopus Salad and Arepas. I also had a Piña Colada and it was absolutely delicious. The prices here are also very reasonable and the service was great. This would have been a 5 star review, if it wasn't for the trash.

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.
