We had four people in our group - one local and three visitors. The waitress gave us 3 sets of utensils then offered us a spoon for the 4th person because otherwise she would have to go downstairs to get forks. What? Go downstairs and get the 4th set of utensils, lady! After a long wait for our food, the kitchen messed up our order and we never got one of the entrees, when we asked about it for a third time the waitress said she didn't have it and she was not going to have it for a while. All this while there is a pack of male staff standing around at the entrance not doing anything. The views from the upper deck are nice and the food we did get was good but the service was terrible! read more

Service was amazing. Michael made our time entertaining and enjoyable. He was personable and not just a server. We left feeling that we made a friend. We are here visiting for a week. Prices are affordable. All of us enjoyed our food. I loved the coconut rice with veggies. My daughter loved her seafood rice. The men loved their pork chop dish. I loved the grouper. The portions were big and we had leftovers for the next day. Oh I must add their trifongo was the best mofongo I have had yet. Tasty, the right consistency, excellent taste. When visiting again, I will definitely make my return visit to Jibaro's at the Kioskos of Luquillos beach. Thank you so much. read more

I'm sorry to give this restaurant such a low rating, but surely they deserved it. From the beginning, it was just poor. We sat down, then it took a while for server to get to us. After that, we ordered food and drinks all as one, and everything didn't come out until roughly an hour later basically. The person who was serving us seem to be New, at least to me. When we first ordered our food, I turn around and looked up because I was sitting closest to the bar and realize that our four waters along with our two drinks we're just sitting there. Especially because it's Puerto Rico and it's so hot it's definitely best to just grab the drinks the minute they made and serve the table especially because the food took so long. Not to mention in my friends food, we found a piece of hair that had to be taken out. I can already told That after they took the hair out. All they did was simply move everything to another plate. They Didn't remake anything Because certainly if they did it would've taken them the same amount of time it would've taken to just get the food to the table. So I'm certainly disappointed in their ability to do that. Along with the fact that the drinks took so long. My partner complain that the garlic shrimp wasn't delicious and didn't quite hit It's Mark. Me on the other hand. I had a good meal. I didn't have any complaints about my meal. The worst part was just a service. And of course the food. I wouldn't return back because there's a bunch of other restaurants along the strip line that there is to try that may end up even being better, even if they don't look at from the outside looking in. read more

Everything here was really good and flavorful. I got the pernil which was so flavorful and tender. Everyone really enjoyed their food here as well as our drinks. The service was very friendly and almost all of the staff speak English, if that's important for you. There's an upstairs as well with a beautiful view. If you come here though, PREPARE TO WAIT. We waited over an hour for our food. read more

What a great place!! food A+, service A+, atmosphere A+, our server Beverly made the evening relaxing and enjoyable even though the place was super busy!! will go again whenever we can!! read more

We were excited to visit the kioskos in luquillo and had some fried appetizers before hitting the beach and then coming back to eat at Jibaros. We love the fact that we got to sit on the rooftop terrace overlooking the beach while we waited for our Mofongo with garlic sauce that we were so excited to order. Mofongo Al ajillo was delicious and came with some shrimps and salad. The Mofongo, a soft and cooked well and the garlic sauce was very creamy and tasty. The food took a bit to be served, but I'm sure they were very busy in the kitchen as they were a lot of people in the restaurant. Either way the food was delicious and I will be back to heroes when I'm looking for some good Mofongo on the road. read more

Jibaro's - Mofongo Al ajillo - Puerto Rican Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Worst restaurant I visited during my trip to Puerto Rico. The pulled pork smells like boiled meat, with no salt, no seasoning it almost gave me nausea from smelling it. It had two huge chunks of fats (soo disgusting) the arroz con gandules tasted like nothing, it reminded me of the rice they served in my elementary school lol. I had to return my dish and left feeling hungry..All the dishes were exactly the same, not to mention the flavorless white rice, my brother had to squeeze some lemon over it so he could eat it. Also this was the first time we had such a bland mofongo, I've had it on food trucks that were 3 times better than this, it was such a waste of money you are better off going somewhere else. Walk away. read more

Drinks are not great..... the mojitos taste like syrup. We waited over an hour for food, and it also wasn't anything special. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Amazing service , the bartender was amazing and well known English which was a blast . Amazing drinks specially for happy hours which they have different type of rum and vodka for just $5 . The passionate fruit rum was delicious food was delicious but they did a bit over charged us which we did not complain bc food was really good. The waitress was super nice and friendly , the parking lot was a bit tricky and crowded but you can easy find a spot to park. You can have absolutely beautiful view of Ocean but sadly ours was blocked with a car that parked there . The appetizer was so delicious and interesting , specially the shrimp stuffed with garlic sauce. The main dish was so nice and delicious . There was guy outside which made roses out of leaves and was so nice and beautiful if you are in that area for sure buy flowers from him . They follow all the pre caution safety for covid 19 which was very impressive . absolutely recommend this restaurant . Just you know you have to be patient if you are going there and not be in rush and enjoy your drinks till they get your order totally worth the wait. They also have a cool rooftop I guess there was a wedding there so we could not see it but if you are going there try their roof top should have a beautiful view to the beach and ocean read more

El lunes 18 de julio de 2022 está libre por Luquillo así que me fui almorzar a uno de los varios restaurantes del área de Luquillo en los famosos Kioskos. Es una área turística y me variedad de mariscos. El restaurante es amplio y además tiene una terraza donde uno puede apreciar más la vista a lo lejos del mar. Aunque vas ver para los lados los techos de los demás comercios con sus generadores eléctricos y extractores pero si miras para el frente pues verás el mar. Como siempre almuerzo temprano no había muchos clientes. No vi el menú y pedí el especial del día. Mofongo relleno de langosta así que lo pedí. No fue la gran cosa pero lo trajeron rápido y tenía hambre. Este restaurante es un resuelve si uno va temprano y no hay mucho comensales. Luego los fines de semana por las tardes hay demasiado de personas y el ambiente se transforma a otra cosa. No te digo nadas tendrías que ir para sepas de qué hablo. read more

We came early for dinner and the view! Whoa. And possibly watching the Chicago Bears play. They were about to sit us upstairs, but we mentioned we wanted to watch the game. All the folks were really accommodating in trying to find the game..even when they didn't get it on the tv downstairs, they said they might have it on the big screen upstairs, so up we went. Personally, this would have been perfect if the cable/internet could find it, but no go. We enjoyed a round of appetizers..fried cheese was (waaay better than what Iguanas at the Wyndham calls authentic Puerto Rican) and some nice rice and vegetables with plantains with an amazing view! And a chicken arapas that was perfection. This whole meal of various bites makes me up my rating to 5 stars. Should not have been so absorbed with the football game, but it was an adventure just to land at this amazing place suggested by our hotel. The sun wasn't down and we got to wander the stalls and then it was slowly filling up with families and cars when we were heading back. read more

The food was awful. The service was shit. The ambience was hot. They don't have any soap in the bathrooms. The servers don't even wash their hands. It was disgusting I would never come back. read more

We chose this place on the strip of restaurants because it had an upstairs that made you feel like you weren't eating next to a major Highway. The food was pretty good. Beans and rice were great. The fish was over cooked. read more

We popped in Jibaros for dinner after recommendations from the locals. The ambiance was simple & authentic which for me in great. We sat in outside upstairs & it was simple but comfortable. The food though. Wow. I had shrimp with rice & beans. Perfection. I topped it off with a piece of tres leches which has the be the best I've ever had. The server was laid back in the right way. Definitely recommend. read more

Food was just average. Service was terrible. They also charged us $10 each for a kids virgin strawberry daiquiri. When I asked how much the alcoholic version was they said $10.45. What?!? So $50 for 5 virgin slushies. Unbelievable. Stay away. read more

I'm bummed to not give this spot a better rating because the food is fantastic. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Incredibly slow (we are talking waiting for almost 2 hours for our food to come out after ordering), our waitress completely disappeared and no other servers came to check on our table or refresh drinks while we waited. If you have a lot of time to wait and don't mind going back and forth to the bar from your table to get your own drinks, then definitely check this restaurant out. If you are hungry or have kids with you, skip this or bring your own snacks to eat at the table while you wait. Again- the food was fantastic. I just wish the service had been better. Special note to Jordan, who was incredibly friendly upon arrival and said goodbye to us when we left. He was hustling trying to pick up the slack left by the other servers who were completely absent during the 2.5 hours we spent in the restaurant. Everyone else on the staff should use Jordan as their model for service! read more

The food was delicious, I had the mofongo with camarones in the butter sauce, with rice and beans. I'm definitely coming back again.

Amazing!!! My family and I were looking for a place to eat and as we were passing Jibaro's we were greeted by a worker. He was so inviting we decided to enter. Once inside we were greeted by other wait staff. The service was great and the food and drinks even better. We had an excellent experience and look forward to returning soon. read more

We loved our meal here. We got one of the lunch specials for $7.99. It was a large piece of grouper sauteed and served with a small cabbage salad and a choice of sides. We chose the sauteed vegetables. The grouper was cooked to perfection, so delicious and the veggies were fresh. I also had a mango mojito while we waited. We sat outside on the patio where there is a nice view of the water. The service was very laid back, if not slow, but we really had nowhere to be. It was nice to just sit and enjoy. Probably the best inexpensive meal of our trip. Great value - make sure to ask what the specials are because the menu is more expensive. read more

The portions were mediocre at best. And the food was way too pricy for the taste to be frank. I've had much better for less several times. The service was quick though and I have to give them credit for that. And the ambiance was alright. Also their soda is very flat and you don't get refills. read more

Friendly service, food had potential but nothing special. Very disappointed This was my first PR experience, maybe next time.

Service was really quick and the waiters were super friendly. Here on a group vacation and everyone was able to find something to eat. Alcohol choices were also very good. The restaurant music wasn't blaring and the vibes were overall relaxing. read more

We arrived to the restaurant around 6:45 and were not seated until about 7:45. The manager told us they were short staffed and couldn't seat their full capacity due to the kitchen being overwhelmed. We were told this place was great and the rooftop deck was a nice perk, so we waited knowing it would be a slow night. We ordered our food around 8:30 and it did not arrive to our table until after well after 9:30. No one came to refill drinks or ask if we wanted an appetizer while waiting. The seafood rice was okay. The seafood didn't taste fresh, especially the mussels. The rice was good, but tasted a bit salty. The mofongo was good and not too dry. The garlic sauce on the mofongo was a nice touch. read more

After an adventurous day at El Yunque we made a stop at this kiosk on the strip by the beach. And sooo glad we did. This two level place is worth the visit. Such a pleasant afternoon we decided to sit on the upper level and enjoy the beach view and fresh air. They have an impeccable wine list selection and that was a great start. Didn't want to get filled before we even considered our choices so we didn't order appetizers. I am a big fan of any dish with lobster. The lobster prepared in garlic sauce and yellow rice on the side. My husband had the bacalao with tostones. He did rave about how it great it was. Im glad i was able to finish my dish, every last bit! Not a grain of rice left on the plate! Both dishes made to perfection. Driving through Luquillo. STOP here!! read more

Food was a bit underseasoned, but the service was horrible. Allthough the man at the front was vey curdious and helped escort us to our seats, We waited 30 minutes for plain old water and an hour for food. Additionally the waitresses gave us dirty looks with side remarks believing we couldn't understand them. Our waitress, a tall woman with wider proportions and a bun, served us, while giving us no warm welcomes or good service. Additionally, she only gave me a spoon as a utensil, and by the time the bill came and our 6 person group paid with card, she took our receipt, never giving it back, AND she added a $25 tip FOR HERSELF without our consent (as no tip was intended). read more

Not much to look at from the road but it was truly a great experience. We were seated on top and had a wonderful view of the water. We ordered 1-lb lobster which was the best lobster we had while visiting the Fajardo area. Very satisfying meal. Brian was an outstanding waiter and made sure we were very well attended to. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Place wasn't even busy. Took 45 minutes to get our food. The steaks were under cooked, mofungo was hella dry. Calamari was undercooked. Asked for refills, took 10-15 minutes. They took care of locals but not tourists. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.... read more

If you rush or need to do something else don't eat in here food was good ambiance was nice with the rooftop seating but service and system a lot more way to improve with about an hour for waiting for my food and never coming of appetizers as an off peak hours. In the meantime drink was very good just first sip and then you gonna found out that is sugary drink. Service and management team need to be trained as I wondered there is someone trained? By the way if you have plenty of time to kill eating here is a very good idea Thanks again for "grateful" service Btw I guess lock down time should be a golden time to improve all the system read more
