There was not a lot of choices in the menu; we really enjoyed the our food here. The cool breeze and their huge fan also made dining relaxing. The passion fruit juice and tamarind juice were nice (though the ones in Ochocielos in San Juan were tangier). The fishes (colirubia or yellowtail fusilier) were fried very nicely. They served two for each person with rice and beans. Simple yet delicious. They don't have desserts here though. They do not accept credit cards. We were initially told we could also pay with Paypal but this was not working too at that time. Cash is still the easiest way to pay here.

Drop everything and get over here!…read more El Resuelve has, hands down, the best empanadas in Vieques and maybe the whole world. It's unassuming from the outside, open air cafeteria style with a small kitchen and a sign it's easy to miss, but the food? Delectablé! The fish is fresh, the beans are spiced, the hot sauce is tart and warm. And if you're caught on Vieques on a Tuesday when 90 percent of food vendors are enjoying a siesta, this spot will fill you up before you hit the beach. You'll need a ride as it's more inland than most food joints, but it's well worth the flight, ferry, and ride from wherever you are!

It is a disgrace that one of the very few well-known restaurants in the south side of Vieques…read morechooses to employ people who are clearly more interested in demanding tip money than in providing a respectful customer experience. Tonight I dined at La Placita with a group of friends, and the experience was absolutely unacceptable. Our waitress, an older white woman, brought the check to the table and then stood over us while we were trying to pay, refusing to give us even a moment of privacy to review and complete the payment comfortably. The second she saw the tip amount selected on the card machine, she aggressively grabbed the device from the table and said, "¿En serio?" ("Really?") -- ironically, the only Spanish she spoke to our table all night. It was an incredibly rude, humiliating, and uncomfortable moment. We were still leaving a tip based on the options provided on the machine; it was not as if we had entered an insulting amount ourselves. That interaction completely ruined our evening and changed my entire perception of the restaurant. I asked to speak with the manager, Katy, another white woman, and her response was just as disappointing. She was dismissive from the moment she arrived, repeatedly responding with "okay" while I explained what had happened, showing absolutely no concern for the situation. At the end, all she offered was a generic apology, with no accountability and no genuine interest in addressing the behavior of her employee. What makes this even more upsetting is that I travel to Puerto Rico frequently and have consistently experienced the warmth, kindness, and appreciation of local Puerto Ricans, who are grateful for any tip given. To encounter this level of entitlement was shocking. This waitress made us feel pressured and judged, as if we were obligated to leave the highest tip option available regardless of the quality of service we actually received. Tipping should be voluntary and based on the service provided, not something customers are intimidated into giving. Honestly, if this waitress cannot treat customers with basic respect unless they leave the tip amount she expects, then she should not be working in a position where her paycheck depends on gratuities. Someone with that attitude toward customers belongs in a job with a fixed payroll salary somewhere else, not in hospitality. A server who openly shows anger and resentment over a tip has no business working in customer service. This was one of the most uncomfortable restaurant experiences I have had in Puerto Rico, and it is truly shameful that a place with such a good reputation would allow customers to be treated with this level of disrespect.

The ambiance is very beach and had club/lounge music, which was good and not too loud. This place was filled with locals on their lunch hour and tourists. The restaurant has a right on the beach so it's a great location for beach time and a nice lunch under shade. The food was good. Huge portions so definitely shareable. We ordered the creamy lobster bisque, pineapple rice with shrimp, a beef empanada, which was so yummy, the pork loin medallions stuff with ground beef picadillo, and a side of maduros. The lobster bisque was good but with noting that it's made with pimento cheese. It's more cheesy than creamy. Definitely recommend, can be pricey depending on what you get, so sharing is ideal. Enjoy!

We had some finger food for appetizers: Croquettes and Mozzarella Sticks. Both were quite tasty. Croquettes were satisfyingly crispy stuffed with yummy filling, served with an irresistible sweet and savory sauce. The Mozzarella Sticks had a flavorful crunchy exterior and amazing cheese pull. I ordered the Fried Pork Chop with a side of Yuca Mash with bacon and peppers. The plating was beautiful. This Fried Pork Chop was HUMONGOUS and impressive looking. The meat was tender, oh so juicy, succulent, and well seasoned. It was absolutely delicious! The Yuca Mash didn't have enough pronounced pieces of bacon and peppers throughout, so I wasn't the biggest fan. I was able to sample the Rice and Peas, which was cooked perfectly, fluffy, and wonderful. What a hearty meal! Service was excellent. Everything came out in a timely manner and we were well taken care of throughout our time here.
