Great alcapurrias. Service is booming as the restaurant was packed. The food was delicious and particularly enjoyed my dish. Very active area that is full of locals ready to put a smile on their face with this yummy food. Great portions. Everything was tasty. And wonderful service. read more

Churasco was good, rice was OK. Mojito was good, though I would have preferred it in a glass rather then a bag. Using real plates would have elevated the experience too. read more

Located in Pinoñes near the beach. We randomly stopped by because the place was full and we are so glad we did. We got an alcapurria with crab, pastellito with chicken, and a chicken pincho. The pincho was made fresh on the grill and was so tasty that once we finished our food, we had to order another one. You can see a man grilling the pinchos right in front of you and a lady frying the alcapurrias/pastellitos fresh! read more

Hipi Cache is located in a strip of many open air restaurants in Piñones. It was recommended by locals and hidden away from touristy areas. It was about a 15 minute drive from Condado. The meals were by far the best authentic food we had so far on our visit. I opted for red snapper with yuca mofongo. The fish was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Yuca mofongo was flavorful and satisfying. The service was great and staff was friendly. read more

Hipi Cache - Red snapper - Caribbean Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

We loved going to this restaurant near pinones. We ordered, oysters, snapper, chicken bbq, octopus and ceviche. Excellent flavor, not overpowering, and we felt the seafood was fairly fresh. My favorite was the oysters, which were large and great with a lime. Everyone else liked the fish and octopus as well. We had fresh coconut as well, which was nice but it wasn't as flavorful as I've had elsewhere (It may not be in season right now). Would 100% recommend a visit! Wish we had more time to visit again. read more

One of the best spots we found in pinones. This place probably had one of the best mofongos we had on this trip! It was an amazing texture and the aioli they provided was the perfect compliment to be dish! The service was slow though, we almost left because they did not put our order in for a while! read more

I stopped here while in Loiza waiting to pick someone up from the airport. It is across the street from Pinones beach. I got there about 11a.m. on a Sunday and it was not busy. By 12:30 they were packed and had someone directing parking which helped a lot of people. The fried park was tasty but half was juicy and half was dry and overcooked. The conch was delicious and the dozen Oysters are definitely worth the thirty bucks. It's very casual, my daughter and I sat under a fan far from the smoking hot grills. The waitress was sweet and attentive. She spoke minimal English which was ok since the menu had English. I love the area with all the little shops. Traffic can be a bit heavy in the area. read more

Picked the spot off 187 that looked like it had the most locals. Good idea. The mejor pinchos in the area. To die for flavor. Sweet waitresses that humored my bad spanish. My only regret is I only got here once during my time in the area. This is the type of food that when you're traveling and you find you come back to time and time again. read more

This is by far one of the memorable food experiences I have had in San Juan. The menu was mostly in spanish, so we just ordered various fried food...and it was amazing! For uncultured gringos like me, the alcapurria is a small fried dough bar with meat on the inside and it is great. The pincho is a large kabob that is to die for. The pinono is a plantain made fried dough with meat on the inside and is amazing. Pastelillos are empanadas with meat on the inside and a must try! The frappe here are very strong if you add alcohol and is really really good and affordable. read more

Walking around piñones looking for street food and the fresh made bacalito smell brought us in . Great mixed drinks made us stay but the people here are the best vibes. ***Maria, Derlin, and I forgot the other guys name were super friendly even though it was so busy. They made some good drink recommendations and just great Puerto Rican vibes. I Recommend the coco with don Q but you MUST TRY the Don Q 151 if you want a unique experience! It's out for a limited time. Also, try all the street food they have read more

There are plenty of restaurants in the area but this one had the best looking Chicken Skewers (Pincho Pollo) on display so we decided to give them a try. The chicken skewers were $3 each, meat pie (don't know the name) $2 each, and the Pina colada was $6 each. Very affordable if you are in the area. The place also looked bright and had plenty of people. We were glad to have found this gem. We'd definitely come back to try more items! 9/8/23 read more

Hipi Cache - Pincho Pollo ($3 per skewer). The sauce on the chicken reminds me of a teriyaki/Polynesian sauce. Tasty! 9/8/23 - Caribbean Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

We had had a long day driving around the island exploring the different spots and were looking for something solid to eat. We were also craving something lighter than all of the (red) meat that we'd been having, so when Hipi Cache popped up, I was excited to do seafood. The seating reminds you of other developing country set ups (think SEAsia and Latinx American outdoor food halls). Though it wasn't fully occupied, the restaurant was busy and the servers were attentive. We seated ourselves and immediately ordered Pina Coladas (yummy, good balance of rum and fruit) because...why not? One thing to note also is that seating yourselves and seating immediately has been a bit difficult in PR because of COVID, so we were happy for this quick service. After getting recommendations from the very sweet waitress, we ordered: Mofongo stuffed with Shrimp; fish ceviche with mofongo; arepas with mixed seafood; and the highly celebrated fried red snapper with duofongo. To be honest, everything was amazing, though the arepas came very different than expected -- the arepas were more biscuit like than I'm used to, so it was difficult to open it up to put the seafood inside. The fish ceviche was plentiful and extremely fresh, while the mofongo with shrimp was exactly as you'd expect it -- tasty and umami. The standout dish however, was indeed the fried red snapper -- it was not greasy or oily and the fish was clearly caught recently. There's nothing really I can find fault with this place, though if you prefer a proper sit down restaurant with four walls, you might be disappointed. read more

This restaurant has very good food! It's casual, open air (no AC but it catches the breeze well and is shaded from the sun), and a perfect place to get lunch or dinner when you're leaving the beach! We had ceviche, ponchos de pollo, pestelillos de pollo, and more, everything was so good! I accidentally left my phone at the restaurant like a dummy, I didn't even realize it until I was back at the hotel. I called an uber to go back and on the way called my phone from my girlfriend's phone - an employee answered and said he had my phone safe behind the bar and would onto it for me until I got back. 20 minutes later, I returned and got my phone back from a nice guy at the bar! Shout out to the staff for helping me out! read more

The food was good the place is very local open concept and loud. You seat yourself. But, be ware if you have planes cancel you will wait for your food a long long time. We were there for about 2 1/2 hrs waiting. (OThe only reason we waited was because it was highly recommended by more than one person in the island and we were starving. The food taste good but not for the long long wait. If you don't mind the wait then come try it out but if you have planes don't do it. We ordered frappe of pacha it's a smoothie that was tasty and refreshing on a hot day. Then we got churrasco w/tostones, grilled wings PR style w/tostones and mofongo w/lobster. Not all that for the long wait. read more

Great food and customer service! This was our first stop and we were not disappointed!!! We went back the day after because we couldn't get enough of the delicious food and ambiance. The waitress remembered us and our second visit was even more enjoyable. We felt like locals! I didn't take any photos of the alcapurrias because we devoured them! We had beef and crab alcapurrias and they were amazing. We also had chicken empanadas. Fresh and hot food! These kiosks are right on the coast and a short drive from San Juan. The drive is stunning. The location does not disappoint. Parking is a little crazy but shouldn't deter anyone as it's a small area and it's expected. read more

This place is amazing...it is just off the road. They have parking and roosters out back that make the place even more interesting! The food is so yummy...you can order it to go or you can sit, relax, and enjoy a Imperial cerveza. I would recommend the empanadillas con camarones because they are delicious!!! They are light and crispy and come with super flavorful shrimp inside. read more

The food and drinks are delicious, the fish ceviche was top notch, juicy and super fresh. Also enjoyed the pinchos and the bacalaito

This is a great place to eat if your in Puerto Rico. We just stopped in to see what the hype was about. Gets very busy, but we stopped in on a Monday. Ordered the bifongo with carne frita and we also got an order of the pulpo w/ mofongo. Great flavor. It was soo fresh and was good. Service was great. Candy was our server and she was very attentive and food was quick. Ordered Pina Colada to go and it was Yummy!!! If your in the area stop in and check this place out. read more

I took a drive through Pinones and carefully selected where I wanted to eat. I based my decision on the yelp reviews and I must say I was a bit disappointed. The waiter was great, however , I waited an hour for my food and got one excuse after another. There were only two of us eating and the restaurant was not completely full so I couldn't quite understand the delay. I had the mofongo with shrimp and it was good not great. My son had the shrimp with rice and he really enjoyed it. When the receipt came there were items that were listed that I did not order. The waiter actually asked me to review the receipt and mark off what wasn't mine. Be prepared to wait and check your receipt. read more

This place really allowed me to get the authentic feel of the island. The food was fresh and the drinks were great. The only complain we have is for the food wait time. We ordered appetizers before our meal which is what we advise others to do since the main dish will take up to 40 minutes to an hour to come out. We also had to flag down the waitress numerous times. I would definitely go back for the appetizers the octopus was the best out of all the restaurants I been to while visiting Puerto Rico. read more
