Give it the wooden structure was falling apart, menu was small & limited id say overpriced somewhat for bar food. Drinks acceptable, we had the small Mahi sandwiches with fries/tots was good then you had smokers going to back of bldg getting all that nasty smell in your face & food really unacceptable. There were 4 casino type slot machines inside restaurant to left as you walk in. I'd rate about 3-3.5 stars.

Seating is outside and also by the bar, and we were served very fast. We let our waiter know that we were in a hurry, and he recommended what I can only assume is their signature item, Da Big Fish and Chips. I did not have high hopes for this, but this was genuinely one of the best fried fish dishes I've ever had. The fish was perfectly tender, and the fry batter on the outside was even, hot and crispy. The fries were perfection. I personally did not love my painkiller, but I think I just don't really like orange juice lol. There is a restroom available on site. I don't know if I would recommend this if you were seeking incredibly authentic Puerto Rican food, but if you were seeking a good time with a beautiful view of the water, this seems like a good option in the Esperanza area. We also ordered drinks, a beer and a painkiller cocktail.

We heard great things about this restaurant from online searches and our BNB owner - who claimed…read morethey had the best burger he's ever had. He's also a Philly native so he knows about burgers and cheesesteaks! We were excited to try and it was a rainy day in vieques. We had no reservations, but hoped to get one. We came when the restaurant opened. Hostess was downright rude and condescending. We were told our group of 4 could sit at the bar at 6pm since they are "booked". When I informed her that online I was able to make a reservation for 4 at 5:30 or 5:45pm, she rolled her eyes and said you can try if you want. So I did and was able to get a seat at a table for 4 by 5:30pm. Waitress was also rude. Maybe everyone was having a bad day? They all just started though? But with some jokes and kind words, I think the waitress warmed up to us. Food was phenomenal, some of the best food we had in Puerto Rico hands down. Drinks were also top notch. Prices were high but expected for where we were. Would have given 5 stars all around if service was significantly better. Which by the way, when we finished dinner, restaurant was still half empty.

We wanted to try a special type of rice and beans called mamposteao, and were not disappointed. It was very flavorful! We also got the pork chop, which had a sweetness to its marinade -- also very good. The crab and beans dip was full of mayonnaise and not much beans (1 star off), so probably would not get this again. The location is nice. It is right in front of the Esperanza sign, and has a beautiful view of the sunset. We ate our dinner and sipped our drinks slowly while absorbing the view.

They were building a new deck outdoors for their new experience, but were open to receive us. I had not experienced vaping before, but upon entering, the owner, "VapeGod" is what his T-shirt affectionately labeled him, greeted us and took the time to open items just to explain the experience. We settled on a Smok Novo and tangerine/mint oil. He was happy to charge it for us while we headed to the bar to be amazed by their Mojito creating mastermind. The list of available flavors was a bit overwhelming at first since there were so many. We started out with Coconut and soon understood the magic. Watching as he used fresh mint and lime, squeezed and appropriately muddled, we knew we were in for a treat. This was the best Mojito we've ever had. Our VapeGod then set up our vape for us to enjoy the whole experience. Eventually it was time to go and we decided to take 2 star fruit mojitos to go (shhhhhh). Equally fantastic! Great customer service and amazing mojitos. Stop by!

We found El Local and decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed! The food was fantastic! Well seasoned and flavorful. We ordered: -the triangulo for an appetizer -el gallito with arroz y habichuelas -garlic shrimp with arroz mamposteado -tostones There were some concerns: -the food took awhile to come out. Not sure if it was the kitchen or the waitress. -the shrimp dish only came with 5 small shrimp. It was surprising as it looked like it was missing substance. These were not large or jumbo shrimp. - the tostones were rock hard. It almost felt like they had been cooked and fried before and then retired/heated for our meal. Overall a good eatery, would go back.
