    So happy to come across this place! Service was very friendly. The food was AMAZING for the price. And the eating area is cute and quaint. 9.50 for 1/2 chicken, rice, beans, fries, and two drinks! Am I dreaming? We will be coming back when we return to Rincon!

    This is one of the best loaded potatoes ever had. Amazing food and service as well. I'm definitely coming back to this beautiful spot.

    The Island - Chicken stew with fried plantain. Chicken had a weird (fish? Raw?) taste and I really had a hard time swallow it...

    We had a harder time finding restaurants that are open when we drove away from San Juan, as the…read more2017 hurricanes hurt local economy and tourism. Luckily, this small shop called "The Island" was still in operation and offers semi-good Puerto Rican food. After a long wait of one hour (there was another table with 12 people that needed to be served first) we got our food as:(1) Red Snapper with rice and beans (2) Ribs with fried Plantains (3) Mahi-Mahi fillet with baked potato (4) Chicken stew with fried plantain. Baked potato was rated good among all of us, but the chicken in my chicken stew had a strange raw taste that I barely ate any of them ... on the plus side, the view was gorgeous!

    Can you say $1 mojitos???? After hours of driving, getting…read moreour car stuck, being lost and stressed out, we were trying to find a beach to sit and enjoy. We got turned around, and ended up across from this restaurant, sowe decided to stop. $1 mojitos. Sold. Instantly made the day better. Our waitress was fantastic, I wish I could remember her name. She was helpful in choosing our meals, our drinks, etc.. We had 2 small children, that were bored and needed to run around. They allowed the girls to be in another area to run and eat so they would not bother other patrons. Food came, was good, the view fantastic. There was 90's, early 2000's music playing, at a volume appropriate for an outdoor bar. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

    The Island - Ensalada de camarones. A bed of canned 3 bean salad w/a handful of lettuce. Shrimp is a good size, fresh, but needed more lettuce.
