    Not the best seafood place in the area…read more We (a party of four) went there on a Friday afternoon for lunch. We were seated fairly quickly, in the inside part of the business as there were "no seats outside" - that wasn't the case. The server came promptly to take our order: @drinks - mojito, sangria, water and a soda. The sangria tasted like pouch sangria poured into a glass and the mojito had little to no rum. @Starters - marine sampler, which was greasy and overly cooked. @main dishes - paella marinera for 2, lobster tail, and stuffed mashed plantains with ceti (local fish). My overall impression of the main dishes wasn't great for the price we paid for the meal ($$$). The paella for two lacked flavor and the seafood wasn't properly cleaned (the shellfish had the poop vein); the lobster wasn't local and tasted weird; the stuffed plantains with ceti were very salty. For the latter we offered our feedback to the server and she just took the plate away, without offering any substitutions or following up. Enough to say that I'll not be coming here again. The price of the food goes beyond the quality and service. The only nice thing about the place its the view, which we got to see through a window.

    The view was amazing. We got to sit right by the ocean and watch the huge waves roll up. Even got…read moreto see a couple of surfers trying to catch the waves, and my daughter saw a dolphin. The food was delicious, but our server was more amazing. She was patient and helpful.

    Ok, trust me on this one. I know, I know... You were planning on eating at one of the super…read moreexclusive little restaurants where they ferry you by boat to the middle of the lake but you arrived too late and missed the last ferry and now you're stuck and the only place you see is this little local dive bar. Go. Eat here. Don't look for a big blue "A" outside the doors; you won't find it. What you will find is an actual local spot owned by a husband and wife (they are the only two employees) who cook up AMAZING food at pretty cheap prices. Entrees run $15, appetizers around $3, beer at $1. Bottled water only, no free tap water. Now: there will be no English going on here, so brush up on a "I want" and "my wife / friend / kid would like" before you go. The menu is 50% translated into English (lots of dishes with "chiken," -- no "c") but if you have an AT&T phone you'll be in luck and you can Google everything faster than your phone works in the states. Empanadas... Great. Arañas... So yummy (not actual spiders) Steak Mufungo... Best on the Island. Creole Chicken... Light and bursting with flavor. Tostones... Theirs beat the crap out of every other plantain served in the commonwealth. Corona... Freezing cold little 7oz bottles that go down like the nectar of life. Live guitar music and dancing on Sundays in the evening. Super-nice owner (he'll shake your hand and introduce himself as he apologetically says "no English"). Crazy-good "Mom made this" food. Go local, or go home!

    Great Puerto Rican food. Place is right off the lake near the parking area. Skip the ride and come…read morehere. Place has water front views and people are bilingual. We had the ground beef empanadas, fried plantains and flash fish with the perfect savor of cilantro, all amazing!
