    Sampler Del Mar, camarones, calamares y mero. El mero estaba delicioso, tres tipos de salsas y limoncito.

    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

    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!

    This was a two for. We booked with Bioluminescent Bay Boat Tour for a tour from San Juan. This bar and eatery was our dinner stop. The atmosphere was great, terraced seating and delicious food. We had fish tacos and vegetarian tacos. Muy Rico!!!

    Grouper fish tacos (fried grouper)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A great tapas & mofongo bar at the center of town! We were…read morestaying a block away and decided to dine here after comparing numerous options in the area. Well, it was the right choice for sure. We wanted to go tapas since by then (day 6), we were acclimated with the heaviness of Puerto Rican meals in general (carbs and fried foods), so we didn't order the mofongos. Jose was our server and he seated us promptly near the corner. ORDER their mojitos! I really enjoyed mine - full of mint leaves and strong rum. My wife also enjoyed her virgin pina colada which was refreshing. Tempura shrimp in sweet chili sauce ($11, App, 4/5) - Generous portion, slightly too sweet for us but had great juicy shrimp w/ shrimp taste. Jalapeno and Cream Cheese Poppers ($8, App, 4/5) - Loaded w/ cream cheese but no actual jalapeno peppers really (slight disappointment), it still was enjoyable to eat due to nice crispy texture, jalapeno taste, and the delectable guava sauce Empanadillas del dia ($3.50, App, 3/5) - It was chicken that day and chicken was not too dry though amount of the filling left a bit to be desired. It's pretty big & filling, so watch out. Fish Tacos ($10, Entree, 5/5) - One of the best fish tacos I've ever had. Fish bites were fresh, crispy and light, paired against good amount of sour relishes and green leaf on a warm tortilla. Also there were THREE of them! (I think the first fish tacos I've ever ordered that came as 3, not 2!) We ordered this after finishing our 3 tapas because we were still slightly "not full", but man these packed quite the punch and we were STUFFED SILLY after these for sure. Wow, some delicious business here. Btw, Jose's service was really excellent. He was super attentive, checking up on us just the right amount of times, and even went outside to take picture for us with the signs after our meal. He made our dinner experience that much more pleasant. Moons Bar & Tapas really delivers with overall consistent taste & quality. I won't hesitate to stop by next time for their mofongos!

    Cool tapas bar in La Parguera. I ordered a ceviche and stuffed avocado dish and pigged out. It was…read moreso good. My mojitos were delicious and service was great.

    Best burger on the West side of the island!…read more We got fries (be cautious when ordering the fries....its a lot!) the pulled pork tacos and the burger. All tasted good and seasoned beautifully. However, the burger takes the cake. Cooked medium and full of flavor; each bite had the juices falling from it. Go for the burger! If ordering the fries, make sure to get their Cilantro Sauce. 100% hits every box! Lastly the services was outstanding. Every 5 to 7 minutes, the server passed by to check up on us. Very cordial and respectful. Definitely coming back!

    This place is AMAZING!!…read more My friends and I have been visiting Puerto Rico for the past week and have been eating a lot of traditional PR food, mofongo, pincho, etc, and we probably would have done the same thing tonight for dinner if we hadn't gone out to eat so late!! Lucky for us, we stumbled across this hidden gem that happened to have a kitchen that stayed open until 11. The result: eating better American food than we have had in the US!!!! The Italian sausage with elote was honestly life changing. The entire table was fighting over both dishes. The sausage was tender, the peppers were sweet, and the jus was super flavorful. The elote was crunchy, creamy, savory, and was a nice contrast to the sausage. The pulled pork tacos were also amazing with a cilantro cream that truly knocked our socks off. Not to mention the fact that the drinks were super affordable as well!! The prices were great and the food really just wowed us. We could not be more grateful for stumbling across beef bros :)))
