I'm going to start by saying, food was good but be VERY CAREFUL. The place is super deceiving when it comes to what you order specially with the mofongo so be careful. They will charge you a crazy different amount. We ordered the mofongo and was priced as $19.95 but we were charged $36.95 we ate it and when we saw the charges we asked about it. According to them they decide to bring any steak instead with a side of mofongo which makes absolutely no sense. We were forced to pay even though we didn't ask for it. Terrible experience read more

Jibaro's - Puerto Rican Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

I'm giving them a one because the hostess was initially friendly asking us to come in. We had came to PR for my husbands birthday (his first time) I asked the hostess in Spanish to please inform our server that it was his birthday so we could surprise him with a song and dessert. She looked at me and smiled FULLY comprehending what i had requested. That went out the window being that we got three servers that evening and it was slower than molasses to get our food and drinks. After we finished server number 1 dropped our check (very arrogant and flamboyant man)& actually WAITED for us to pay and leave! They couldn't charge my debit as a cc so they asked me to give my pin. Hell no! I marched my ass right behind their DJ booth and punched it in. We had to wait 20 mins for our uber so when we got our notification he arrived we got up to go and the little hostess asked us to wait (I thought, finally you all will be wishing him a happy birthday!! But no, just thought we were walking out on our tab) so they could run my cc again. I had to tell the hostess we already paid and show my receipt. We will never be back. read more

Worst experience ever! We waited for almost two hours for our meals and every time we asked a waiter for help they would basically ignore us. When leaving they didn't give us a discount for the drinks because we left before our food came out and we didn't finish them. The manger was rude and acted like 4 tables was justifiable for almost 2 wait for food that still didn't come. IF I COULD GET 0 STARS I WOULD. read more

Had higher expectations food wise. Service was decent. Second round of drinks took forever. My husband had the whole red snapper and claimed it was the best tasting one that he has had so far. I had the crab meat with a side of rice and beans. I had assumed I would have nice chunks of crab meat but what it ended up being was shredded up crabmeat and it was kind of dry and had bits of bone throughout. I think my experience would have been better if I had picked something else. Coco mojitos were pretty good. read more

Service was awful and slow. Food was good but not worth an over 2 hour wait. Meals were forgotten and servers didn't care at all. Would not recommend!!! read more

Great stop on the Kiosk boulevard, we stopped in for their famous Sangtriii and ended up leaving stumped With their hot sauce... we ordered an appetizers crab something but it wasn't the appetizer it was the hot source that drove us crazy!!! Normally my hubby can figure out the ingredients since he's a chief but this one left him in love and stumped....he asked to speak to the chef however he ho was there didn't come out. I'm guessing it's a down the low.. we will figure it out. HOPEFULLY on a side note I have to give a shot out to Francisco who grated us and all through our Bar time showed us some mass skills, Yo-yo it was fun and I didn't know half I did but he showed us what's up. Lol nice Gus. This place is great. Our server/ bartender Zulmara was the best and was very attentive. I give this place 5 because of 1. Atmosphere 2. Attentive 3. Cultural 4. Food 5. Hospitality Sorry for spelling errors, a little buzzed read more

Absolutely loved it here when we were in Luquillo. Amazing (and affordable) food, drinks, and service. The staff were all very nice and attentive. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area! read more

We were recommended this restaurant from the tour guide and what a mistake. We arrived at around 2:30pm and only had 2 hours to patron the area. After ordering food and drinks we waited for 1 hour and half. The staff kept saying it's coming don't worry but food never came. At some point we decided to cut our losses and leave. The staff didn't give us any discount and didn't seem to care about their poor service. We watched 4 tables of subsequent guests get their food before us. Terrible, don't ever go here read more

$20 frozen fish filets is not my idea of a decent meal. Bathrooms were out of order due to being clogged ( no attempt made to clear the clog?) 2 members of my party ordered pasta dishes and were informed they were out of pasta after all the meals were served! Who does this? Won't be back. read more

Service was awful and slow. Food was not worth an over 2 hour wait. Meals were forgotten and waitress didn't care at all. Beware if you ask for the Chillo(whole red snapper) they don't advise you of price per lb, which turned out to cost $79. At $25. a lb. Would not recommend this place. I have been to several restaurants in Puerto Rico by far worst experience and service. read more

Have no clue why this restaurant gets such a bad review but I think this restaurant is actually fairly good. I came here with the Fineline tour. For Puerto Rico standard, this place is really cheap for what you get and the food tastes really good. I got fish dish with rice for $13.5. Usually around here it costs about $17 for a seafood dish. The fish is wrapped in this brownish golden sauce full of the sea flavor. And the rice is also golden with a special soft texture. The service is relatively slow though with people running around everywhere but they are pretty nice when they do serve you. read more

Small place in the kiosk's but it's so worth the stop in! The food is amazingly delicious, as in - I'm sad I didn't find this place sooner! The staff is amazing!

TLDR: Spoiled fish, masked with extremely excessive salt. No apology from the mgt. I ate at Jibaro's last night. I ordered their Mahi-mahi filet, with creole sauce. The food took about an hour to come, but we didn't mind much, because the waiters were very pleasant and kind. My fish, when it came to.me, was extremely salty, far saltier than any seasoning mistake I've ever seen in my 60+ years. I shouldn't have eaten it, but by the time our food came, I was extremely hungry. My kids were enjoying their meals, and I knew they wouldn't want me to complain on-site, so I just made myself keep eating. Partway into my meal, I tried eating each bite together with a bite of my rice & beans side dish. This dodge made it possible for me to keep eating. Late in my meal, I tried drinking some water as I chewed the fish. The water washed almost all of the salt from my mouth, and only then did I taste the fish itself. It was spoiled. Not merely past fresh, but rank & rotten-tasting. That's why it was so heavily salted. Today, I called the restaurant, and asked to speak to the manager. I explained my complaint, but he claimed it couldn't have happened. I said that I wanted nothing more than an apology, and that if he wouldn't apologize, I'd post a review on Yelp. "OK, man. I'm gonna tell you something. You don't understand, this is Puerto Rico. You go write whatever you want." He continued with some invective, but I hung up on him. So there we are. I'll call the board of health tomorrow. read more

The most crappiest service everrr!!! The only person who treated us like people was the host and he was the most kindest person to help us out. When we got sat, about 10 minutes a woman in red hair just dropped the utensils at us without saying anything. This tall fat woman with a bun was our server and when we were sat down she didn't say hello or anything. Only asked what we wanted to drink and eat. We waited 40 minutes for just water. Instead of getting our water, she thought it would be better to be on her phone in front of everyone with the other servers doing the same thing. We got our food an hour late which isn't bad since we were six people. While we were eating our food, the same waiter sprays deodorant in front of all the customers thinking it was appropriate to do that. We could tell that she was talking to the other servers and talking about our group because they were pointing at us and looking at us too. We decided not to tip because it was the most awful service we have ever received on our trip. We crossed off the tip and gave her the card to pay. We were given to pay around $150 and when we came back, she tipped herself $25!!!! So we paid a total of $175 and was angry at us so she took advantage and gave herself a tip which is illegal and didn't give us the receipt back at all. She just gave me back my card and walked away without saying bye or anything and stormed away from us. I've never been this upset or angry about service this bad. read more

Amazing strip along the beach here. So many eateries to choose from this one had a terrace view and open breezes. The mufungo crab was massive and the sampler certainly not intended for one person. read more

This was another fantastic kiosko, and we loved every dish. The absolute best were the fish, filete de mero in an ajillo sauce, which was incredibly soft, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was light and tasty. The side of habichuelas, often a simple order, was very flavorful and had a great sauce with other vegetables in it, and we couldn't get enough of it. Also, the service was great and we loved our waiter, who was very friendly and recommended great dishes. read more

Great find to unwind, have a couple of drinks with local food, and a great view! Atmosphere is very relaxing, restaurant is clean, rustic, and representative of what you would experience from Puerto Rico. Food was a little pricey but appropriate. Close to Luquillo beach and El Yunque. Definitely will make it a stop next time we come. read more

My snapper filet didn't have much flavor. Server was good. Not my favorite Puerto Rician food.

Beautiful upstairs bar--a good thing because you will be waiting 60 minutes for 2 orders of tostones and arepas. If the restaurant was crowded or busy, I could understand the wait. When our food finally arrived it was lukewarm, just like the charms of our waiter. read more

We just had lunch at this kiosk in Luquillo. We had the Mero (flounder) breaded with vegetables for 7.95. The lunch includes soft drinks or water. The meal was excellent. But the star was their house hot sauce. I loved it so much I purchased a bottle. Oh yea! read more

We ended up coming here because we were hungry and wanted to get something from the kiosks, since they were recommended by the host at our hotel. I would suggest you skip this and eat somewhere else. We should have realized that choosing this restaurant was a mistake once we ordered drinks and they took almost half an hour for them. Despite the wait, they were too sweet, and barely matched the description of what we ordered. We soldiered on, and placed a food order, which we then waited on for almost an hour. And again, once it came, it was barely edible. After asking our server why everything was taking so long, she gave the excuse of another section of the restaurant being busy, even though there were barely 15 people in the restaurant overall. Eventually we realized how tired we were of this restaurant, and decided to just get the check and go, and ended up waiting another 15-20 minutes for that to arrive. After talking to the manager about our service (something I never do), she was unwilling to try and make up for our horrible experience, so I paid and left. Such a shame, the menu and the decor looked terrific, but unfortunately you can't judge a book by its cover. read more

We were greeted by a host at the entrance and he was very professional and explained the menu fantastically. My wife and I decided to stop and have supper. We ate at many different kiosks here during our vacation and have been very pleased. We ordered two drinks when we were seated (drink specials) at 5:15 and ordered our meal within ten minutes of being seated. It was nice to get there early bc it wasn't very busy. After about 30 minutes I was able to get our servers attention to order a beer. After sitting for an hour and a half we did not receive our food. We waved our waitress over again (she was busy on her phone) and told her we would pay for our drinks and leave. She said the food was on its way. We waited another 10 minutes, she never looked our way or asked if we wanted more drinks or reinforced that our order was placed. She never looked our way so we put money on the table for our drinks and left. Very disappointing. I highly recommend La Parrilla or any other Kiosk. read more

Something must have been wrong today because it took 2 hours to get our food. Other tables gave up and left and others just got their food to go. It's a more expensive restaurant so I expected much better. No apologies or anything from the staff. Good was good but not great. read more

The best place for Lobster on The Island. Perfectly cooked and a very generous portion of sides. Crab stuffed snapper was delicious. The snapper was lightly fried just enough to crisp the skin and keep the meat tender. Definitely a place you need to visit. Friendly staff and a great view to enjoy dinner. read more

Had an absolutely delicious meal here. We wanted to buy the homemade hot sauce, but alas, not for sale. It was spicy, tangy, and probably had a little scotch bonnet or habanero to give a little fruity flavor. But I digress... We started with the chicharrones de pollo, which was essentially bone in deep fried chicken pieces we dipped in the hot sauce. Delicious. Then I had the churrasco-- tender and flavorful. My wife had the whole fried snapper. We've had that many times, and this was one of the best! (Dip in that sauce folks). Rice and beans were exceptional, the service was really good. One odd note: they recently started selling wine, and the Cabernet was quite chilled! Prices for the wine are very cheap for decent wine, so it was fine. I'd rather have it a little cold than turned in the Caribbean heat. read more

Very bad we waited 2 hours to get served and nothing, very disrespectful and racist food was horrible

If you are visiting Puerto Rico and wondering around to find a good place to eat at, you have to beware this restaurant where they are serving the worst food on the entire island. Drinks are all watered down , appetizers are bland , main courses are sub-par. The money you will spend at this restaurant will haunt you for years to come. The waiter came and asked us how the food was ok and we said we were very frustrated with the food. He said " sorry about that " and then disappeared. Then they offered us drinks which we accepted as we thought we could at least have had a few more drinks. Then they brought the check and they charged us for the additional drinks which they had presented as they were trying to make up for the bad food. In the end we paid over $130 for four simple drinks , two dishes and one appetizer. Run away from this place if you accidentally stepped in and currently reading this review!!! read more
