Cute spot in Lajas, Puerto Rico great for dining or just a few drinks and bites. Service one of the few places that the service could of been a it better servers were not as friendly as the other spots we stopped in for a quick bite and drinks. the area was a little slow due to the weather but the views were nice. they do have inside seating as well as outside if you want fresh air even that its an open restaurant. Would I return maybe. read more

Been here 3 times in just a few days. Some snacks and drinks, lunch by the pool (staying at the Parguera Plaza Hotel), and more drinks. The bio bay cocktail- is delicious. Fried cheese balls- eh, they need seasoning. Empanadas- yummy, great favorable filling. Now, the best thing I've had on this trip. The dorado sandwich- so good! The batter was crispy but soft, great flavor, great fish, the bread just wow. Husband had the pork burger- really good burger. read more

Great meal, It was perfect for our family for with two small children. The fish and shrimp tacos were great

It was supper slow and we waited forever for food. The waiter barely ever came around.

Nice environment, next to the "plaza" where they have entertainment. Food was below average. All 3 burgers as well as a chicken breast were way overcooked and very dry (we asked for medium cooked burgers. Of the 3 burgers, the bread of 2 of them were hard as a rock; 1 of them the bread was good. They burned and toasted (nacho like) the soft flour tortillas of the fish tacos. Fish had good flavor though. The chicken tacos was the only entre they did not mess up. I'm giving them a 2 star review because of the nice environment. They get an "F" on the food. I hate to do these bad reviews but it was just bad with the exception of the chicken tacos and the flavor of the fish. I'll come back tot he plaza but I ain't eating here again. read more

El churrasco suave y deliciosamente sazonado y del arroz no dejamos ni un granito. El viaje a La Parguera fue compensado por el delicioso almuerzo, y por supuesto Presidente y ron. Regresaría a La Parguera a comer más Arroz Mamposteado read more

Waited over an hour for food to start coming out at different times and at a snails pace. Had to keep hounding our waitress to get an update on our food. Nothing made sense at this place. Kids burgers were over seasoned with over toasted buns. Go somewhere else this place sucks. read more

First time in Lajas going to a biobay excursion. It is in a really cool little bar/beach area similar to Boqueron. This is sort of an unfair review because we were sort of pressed for time and didn't really factor in that there is no such thing as grabbing a quick bite in a Puerto Rican Restaurant. The area is filled with little bars and restaurants and was pretty busy for a Tuesday night because some stuff was closed, we needed to get to our boat in like 75 minutes and found this place, it was nice and there were lots of stray cats to keep our attention. We sat outside as the inside was open air and hot as hell, the music was really loud and it seemed that there were speakers everywhere. Service was pretty attentive and totally bilingual, really nice guys working there. Menu included burgers and stuff and a litte bit or criollas as well. my eldest who is taking a Boricua break from her vegetarianism had a salad, and they had a nice selection of different burgers, including vegetarian and chicken sandwiches both grilled and fried (yeah I know not a burger, but advertised as such) Their meals seemed decent including my youngest who thought her kids burger was great. I order the pechuga parilla which was not good, maybe this isn't the place for PR food but it really was a flavorless, unseasoned hunk of white chicken breast, very dissatisfying. The rice was good (mamposteado) and the tostones were nice and crispy. It ended up taking a really long time so we ended up having to throw everything in boxes and pay the check right when the food came, I think this place would be good if you aren't in a rush, want a couple beers and a burger, so it that's what's you in the mood for, hit this place up. read more

The food is not good. The chicken breast was very hard, couldn't cut it well with a knife. The seafood platter came with fried grouper calamari and shrimp; the only thing fresh was the grouper. The calamari had freezer burn on it. The shrimp tasted like it was boiled then fried. The empanadas had no taste. The ribs and burger were good. Mixed drinks were not sweet and all ice. Yucca frittas were strange... not fried or crunchy at all. This place is a definite miss. Waiter was cute as hell. read more

We waited for 2 hours for a cold burger that was missing half of ingredients. On top...they were all coming out 20 minutes apart. The place ran out of items for our last burger. I would not recommend this place. read more

Do not go here. They purposely told us that they had a limited menu with few burgers to choose from the entire menu, but while waiting about 1 hour for our burgers, saw tacos, fries, nachos, chicken wings and all menu items served to other patrons. We Felt discriminated against, so we asked for check for drinks a few items that we had and left disheartened and hungry. When I asked the server why our group was not allowed to choose items from full menu, he responded that he was just following orders. This will be a memorable experience in a negative way. read more

We went to dinner as a family on a SLOW Monday afternoon. My wife and I ordered for the kids first and them made our order when she came back to the table with the drinks. The kids food came out first, and our food was not ready after an hour. We told the server to cancel our order. The maneger refused to cancel the order because it was already done. We had 2 VERY simple orders of a hamburger and fried pork medallions , white rice and beans wich are pre made. The manegers excuse was that they were busy. They had 6 tables at the time of our discussion. It was not busy, we had to leave and she had no care. She said we could just eat it latter. Who wants warmed up food after you spent 100 dollars on burgers, sodas, 2 beers, and 1 adult beverage. The waiter lost her tip and the restaurant lost future sales. I would not recommend them. Thier service is extremely laid back and slow. No care for the patrons our thier time. read more

Ambiance around was amazing. You got dancing, music, tourist enjoying their best life....then my family and I go to Isla Cueva. Ordered Jalapeño cheese fries for the table. Not only was it COLD but there were no Jalapeños. You think there's an error? No, we were told the jalapeño was already in the cheese, that's how it is. My brother's burger was cooked rare and he ASKED for medium rare, and we were told that's how they cook it in Puerto Rico apparently. And my fiancés double burger was weird, one patty cooked perfectly and the other cold. The only saving grace was the fried grouper and calamari. Never again though, they failed at burgers and failed themselves by saying that's "the Puerto Rican way".....I'm Puerto Rican, and I call BS on their way read more

We stopped here as part of a guided tour. It was a nice place for a quick bite and a beer. They had vegan tacos! We sat outside which was nice. Service was a little slow but friendly. Food was nothing special but it hit the spot. The place was decently clean (the bathrooms were so much better kept than the public ones in the area). The prices were good too! read more

We waited for an hour for the most disgusting food we have had in this country. Not one dish was good. Our waitress was awesome. The drinks were good and she gave Im us 10% off the meal because it was so Nasty. Tacos were sweet like they had sugar on them burger was over cooked with an old bun. Try the rooftop bar across the way. read more

There are few times in life when a restaurant will surprise you this much. When we read the reviews for this place, we were set up with very low expectations. However, we still decided to give this place a try because it was one of the only places open on Tuesday. Every dish we had that first night was a delightful surprise. The grouper fish tacos were the best we had tried in years. They are lightly fried with savory sweet sauce that pairs excellently with grouper. The ribs were falling off the bone tender, having been marinated for over 24 hours. And to top it off, literally, we're the best onion rings we've ever tasted. Period. Lightly fried with an herbed and black pepper seasoning, they are a delight. We had such a great first experience, we came back two more times during our stay at La Parguera. Each night with great service and continuing to bring great dishes. The calamari was great, a pairing of that lovely breading from the onion rings combined with fresh, and skillfully cooked squid. Try the coconut mojito - you will not be disappointed. The burgers were good, but not exceptional. Despite this being a "burger bar" I would choose the other dishes over these. The brownies and ice cream were okay, but a bit dry and could have used more ice cream. However, the server did ask for our feedback on those and promised to pass that along to the chefs. If you're in La Parguera, you should give this place a try. read more

During our visit to Puerto Rico, Eric and I decided to venture out of the San Juan/Metro area. We were staying at the nearby Parador Villa Parguera when we went out for a second dinner. It was after 10:00pm and the hostess downstairs told us the kitchen had probably closed already but said we could walk in and check. The friendly server upstairs told us not to worry and let the kitchen staff know that there were patrons there. We sat down and had a few locally brewed beers and ordered the churrasco & sweet plantain pizza. It was PHENOMENAL! I loved the sweet and savory mix of flavors. The beers were great too. My passion fruit beer was the bomb! I don't know why other reviews are so bad. This place was awesome! Great view of La Parguera, nice sea breeze, and delish food. Definitely give it a try if you're around the area. read more

Great burger place. You can even build your own burger. And they are good burgers. Servers are attentive and friendly even though they are overworked. Open late. Not a lot of places in this small town does so. read more

Clean bathrooms and wonderful breezes made sitting in comfortable. Chicken sandwich was great.

When you claim to be a burger and beer bar your burgers better be on point. Isla Cueva is 100% on point! In all honesty it was the BEST burger I've ever eaten. So fresh and full of flavor and cooked perfectly! Great job! read more

The food was good. We had the fish tacos and their fried fish bites. Their cheesecake eas also good, but it didnt tasted like cheesecake, it tasted more like white chocolate mousse; no complains about it though. First time their service was good. It was the second time that they forget about us twice. When paying the check, I had to stand up and interrump the lady (which was talking to friends at the bar while working) so we can pay the check. I hate following people around to pay for the food! read more

I love this place. We had great food and the margaritas were great. Very friendly waitress.

I will never go back to this place. Gave 1 star because I have to. Nunca regresare a este restaurante! First of... on December 27th we got there at 730pm and asked if we had enough time to eat because we needed to leave by 830pm in which we were told yes... we order 2 orders of sliders with potato wedges and curly friend and an order of fish tacos. We were told after a few minutes there is no curly fries so we got an order of potato wedges... which for some reason came to the table by itself, then we got the sliders about 20 minutes later and we're so over seasoned and burned that all you could taste was the burnt. The tacos NEVER showed. We asked for ketchup for the fries which they didn't have any so we asked for BBQ sauce which came after the fries were already eaten. At 8:20 we asked to take the tacos off the bill because we have to leave and the tacos had just come out so they refused to take it off the bill because they were already made, manager cared VERY little that the sliders were burnt and proceeded to tell me what a day it's been and how it's been so hectic. The tacos had to be eaten in a rush and as we ate them a waiter spilled a drink on a client. The food was bad and the service was worse. I expected the manager to care but apparently I expected too much. First and last time I will come to this place. read more

Try the skirt steak or fish tacos! Delicious mojitos as well. Milly was an awesome waitress. Can't wait to come back for more!

Horrible service... Server had an attitude. Waited 20 minutes for 3 beers, waited over an hour for our food and didn't even get our appetizer until after we finished our meal. Food was average and that's the reason for the two stars. Other than that would not recommend. read more

Food is tasty, giving 1 star for wait for nachos and cheese was over 1/2 hour long! Incredible! While I wait, I am writing this review to vent! This is insane, and I am about to ask for my money back. read more

Horrible service. Over an hour to get tacos. Twenty minutes to get a drink and they haven't come back to the table after taking the order.

I was here with my sister and her mother-in-law for lunch. We ordered 3 mojitos. We couldn't taste any alcohol in them. I'm not sure if they forgot or if they're the weakest ones on the island, either way, not worth the money. The food was okay- typical pub burgers and fries. I think they are better restaurant options to chose from. read more

Food is excellent, service is very poor mainly because restaurant does not have the necessary employees to provide good service. Waiters were overwhelmed , made mistakes in the orders, brought kids food last and wrong and took ages to serve the food. However When the food arrived it was very good read more
