    Wow. What a hidden gem here at the Wyndham. I'm a;ways a bit skeptical of far flung outposts of…read moreestablished eateries and am usually disappointed but that was not the case at all here. The service was quite good. There was a bit of a pause between the apps and main but nothing excessive. The apps The scallops and mofogo. The scallops were nicely seared and the large pieces of bacon with the mofogo were fantastic. The deviled eggs according to my son were "fire" which is teen speak for awesome The wedge salad had copious chunks of thick cut bacon, corn, avocado, blue cheese and tomatoes. I'm in nitpicking territory here but the dressing seemed a bit thin and the corn seemed out of place. EDIT. I looked at the parent restaurant in NYC and the wedge there has grilled corn which would have worked better imho. Mains The seared snapper was again fantastic. Super fresh and by the way half of the freaking fish. It was huge the sauce on top which was tartar like and the ? Green sauce on the side complimented the fish. Served on a bed of mash which was wrapped in carrot and zucchini slices was also perfect Shrimp and grits. Again off the hook. The grits were smooth and creamy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The accompanying broth was super flavorful. I wanted a second plate Fried chicken. Again according to my son "fire. Crispy skin, moist juicy chicken, perfectly fried it was some of the best I have had. The hot sauce and maple vinegar were also great. Sides Mac and cheese. With a corn bread crumble it was also as good as everything else. Waffles. Savory mini waffles with cheese. Put the maple vinegar on them and you will want to order more.

    The dinner we had here was definitely the highlight of our trip. We only did happy hour but the…read moreportion is so big and generous that we could not even make it to the main course. The smoked fish sauce is to die for!!! Do not miss out on that one Chef chuck is so friendly and professional, always walk around to the tables to say hi. You'll def items feel like a VIP coming here. The restaurant is inside Wyndham Grand Rio Mar/ Margaritaville, which is a really nice resort.

    If you're looking for the best asopao on the island... your search stops here…read more I've never had something like this before. The flavor was ridiculous in the best way possible, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the tostones were notably fresh. 10/10- you MUST go. Out of all of the gumbo variations I've had from countless regions, Puerto Rico's is my favorite. Particularly from La Cueva Del Mar. Our server, Nicole, was an angel. She is SO SWEET. She made the experience even better!!! It was packed and very loud at 7pm on a Thursday, which is a nonissue for me, but if your party prefers a quiet meal, be mindful of timing.

    The good: Convenient location, valet parking, lively but not overwhelming environment, good music,…read moreand good drinks which is a plus. Food is usually good. The Meh: I liked this Cueva del mar in calle loiza but this experience was subpar. Prior to even ordering, I asked if their famous fish tacos would have the same coleslaw with their special sauce intermixed like it's been since 2007, but in recent visit on Dec 2025 was not the same. He stated he understood. When it arrived, the cole slaw was dry, not the same famous fish tacos i've been used to for years unfortunately. It was unnecessary for the waiter (male in his 50s with black ivy cap) to insist to try to prove me wrong stating that "it's always been this way and i've worked here for 15 years" when my mother and i have had these fish tacos since it opened originally in guaynabo circa ~2007. Mind you, i am bilingual and overheard the waiter talking to the kitchen. Their solution was to bring sauce on the side. My partner ate 1 fish taco, I ate none. When we left the establishment, the waiter went outside to stop my fiance. The waiter never approached me to apologize directly por el mal rato. I also found it extremely distasteful to have to overhear an employee (brunette) on her break (or otherwise) with her foul language near our toddler. We'll just have to stick to another location that treats customers better.

    We love El Pescador! It's one of our favorite places in Fajardo for fresh seafood, and we've always…read morehad a great experience here. The ceviche is seriously one of the best we've ever had. So fresh and full of flavor! The lobster with butter sauce is delicious, and the shrimp with butter sauce is just as good. Everything always tastes fresh and cooked perfectly. We also love the location. It's in a cute little area where you can walk around before or after dinner and enjoy Fajardo. Great seafood, great atmosphere, and a place we always look forward to coming back to!

    All things went well. The hostess was attentive indeed as…read morewe arrived and she was able to get us through a side door and into the inside air conditioning indoor area. We do travel with a wheelchair. The server was very good and well knowledgeable on the menu. He was even photographed in the menu. We ordered a couple cocktails as well as many appetizers. We didn't order any entrees, as our family likes to try many things. My wife's favorite is ceviche and she was impressed by this dish. (Order it) We also ordered fish bites. Solid choice as the guava sauce was memorable. La arepas de coconut. Solid. The fish empanadas were great. Definitely order those. But calamari was chewy and overcooked. I'd pass on this. Cocktails were amazing. Spicy margarita is spicy!! I had a mojito which was delicious. You won't go wrong with any cocktail. Server was great. He did mention to me that we should order soon as the kitchen will get busy. We waited as we were enjoying our dinner. (We didn't have any problems) I'd go back. I'd also suggest sticking to your plan. It's your evening and don't let service control the experience. At the end of it...you control the tip = thank you.
