    Such a breath of fresh air. The food is so fresh and tastes like grandmas dishes! The service was…read moregreat. Staff are professional and also speak English. Very clean and love the ocean like feel to the place! I will definitely be a repeat customer!

    My (then fiancé now husband) and I first came here years ago, when tourism was just starting to…read morewarm back up after Covid. I'd booked us a snorkel and bio bay tour in town and we'd driven hours to get here from San Juan (amateur mistake but a happy accident since we got to discover a new part of the island!) we needed a spot that was still serving dinner before the long drive back home and found La Jamaca by chance. The pretty lights in the pool and laidback vibe were so welcoming, and then the food-- all authentic Puerto Rican fare made incredibly well-- really sealed the deal. We decided on that night to get married on the island, which happened six months later (though closer to SJU just to simplify for my side of the family.) We have been visiting the island regularly ever since, but only made our way back to this side this weekend, since we were planning to see in laws in Lares the next day and this would be closer than the East side where we were, so we got to eat here AND spend the night at last. I was worried maybe I was rewriting it through a nostalgic lens but when our food came out -- wow. It was JUST as delicious as I remembered. You cannot beat this place for perfectly prepared, heaping portions of delicious Puerto Rican cuisine. They started us out with a complimentary cup of plantain soup which was a tasty, perfect way to whey the appetite - and gave my husband strong nostalgia since it was always his grandmother's fav. We decided to split an app and entree and it wound up being more than enough food-- to be opulent we did the lobster mofongo with garlic and started with the churrasco con queso empanadas (three in an order and they're the full size, so... BIG!) The mofongo was moist and flavorful, with a ton of lobster peppered around it, cooked to garlicky perfection, and the empanadas had a gorgeous crust and flavorful chunks of steak with melty mozzerella. Everything was divine and we were so happy we got to try the food here again and that it was still so wonderful. It's off the beaten path and in a cute low key spot - but i would wager this stands up to any meal you'd get in the center of town.

    We were staying at a nearby AirBnB with some friends. We needed bread for the ham and cheese we…read morehad, so we dropped by. In addition to the bread we bought a few sweets. As they prepared our order I saw some of the food some customers had ordered. They looked good and the prices are very reasonable. Bread was very good, and so were the chocolate chip cookies, which by the way are huge, and the quesitos. We returned the next morning to buy more bread to eat with the roasted chicken we bought from a nearby food truck. Definitely worth checking out if your in La Parguera. There weren't many tables inside, but they do have outdoor seating. Parking is street parking only. A few businesses down there is a grocery called M&M Supermarket. Not sure if they are related.

    Not bad. I think they were pretty much the only breakfast option in this small town because there…read morewas a line forming out the door around 8am on a weekday. The staff only let 2 parties in the door per time and was really strict with COVID protocols which I applaud. Their food was to-go only, though some were eating on a small outdoor dining area off to the side which was nice. We sat there waiting for our food after we waited a good 15 minutes to get our turn to go in and order. We ordered Revoltillo con Vegetales (Scrambled eggs with vegetables- onions, peppers, and tomatoes) plus ham, with hash browns on the side. The scrambled egg with vegetables and ham was quite hearty and good. It came with 2 toasted bread and was way too much food! The 2 hashbrowns were generously sized and was as good as McDonald's if not slightly better. Their coffee was pretty bland - despite having coffee equipments, it tasted exactly like Maxim instant coffee with milk. But one can't have everything he wants when traveling in a rural town, right? This is a great place for tourists looking for more American fare for breakfast. Just go there early before breakfast rush!
