    Last time I was in Culebra my brother in law came back to the villa we were sharing with delicious lechón. It was so tasty and the skin was so crispy. This time we took our kid to the playground across from the Escuela Ecológica after breakfast. We noticed the food truck and had to order. It didn't matter we had just eaten breakfast. We ordered to take back to the villa for lunch. It was just as delicious as the first time I had it. I highly recommend trying it.

    Lechón, rice and beans, green plantains

    VERY GOOD! just be sure to get there by lunch because they may sell out! You can pay by paypall or cash. The pork is to die for. 1 lb is way more than enough for 2

    Roast pig in the window of the truck!

    As of April 2021, Culebra restaurants were still mostly shut down for indoor dining (some not open…read moreat all). Our group was pretty desperate for some lunch so we were relieved to see that Tiki's Grill was open, though for takeout only. They have a menu on the door with names of the dishes only. When asked about prices, the waitress only said that dishes were "mostly over $10" and that add ons were "a couple dollars." It was a bit annoying but we were hungry and willing to pay. It turned out that each dish was about $11 to $12 and add-ons like sweet plantains were about $1. We waited a really long time but I didn't mind too much since it seemed like each dish was being freshly made/fried. I personally got a fried fish taco bowl. The fried fish was pretty good. It seemed fresh and was covered in an avocado/guacamole sauce. The base ingredients were average (just some lettuce and tomato). Overall Tiki's Grill got the job done. Just be aware that things on Culebra work on island time, even more so than the main island. Also we didn't come to Culebra for the cuisine after all so I wasn't too bothered.

    The waitress was incredibly rude to us, answering our questions about the price of the food (not on…read morethe menu) and what is in the food (also not on the menu). She refused to answer our question about how much the food costs. She also told us it would be ready in 20 minutes and when we went back in 20 she was like well it's fresh fish to be fried come back in a couple minutes, but it ended up being an hour long wait. The fish was also incredibly salty and the taco bowls only had lettuce and tomatoes in it. Would not recommend.

Finally got the chance this past weekend. Sometimes when you build an anticipation for something long the experience ends up disappointing. I'm happy that wasn't the case here. My expectations were met and more. The fish tacos were excellent. The Mahi Mahi was fresh. I wouldn't be surprised if it was caught that morning. And the tortillas tasted like they were made in house, not store bought. My wife's carnitas bowl an son's carne asada tacos were also phenomenal. I was considering a beer but decided to go with a margarita instead. The waitress suggested the watermelon margarita for a lighter refreshing taste. I went with it and she was right, refreshing m, light but with a slight punch. Went down smooth. I'd like to try the regular margarita next time. Service was friendly and the food came out quick despite it being packed the day before Thanksgiving. Ambaince is fun. Great place to hang out but also family friendly. Definitely don't skip this spot when in Culebra.

    I highly recommend the carnitas bowl. It's delicious and filling. It's big enough to share with…read moresomebody else. I also recommend the orange flan. I've never had an orange flan before, but the waitress recommended it. This was probably the best thing we had. Margaritas are also very good.

We loved the…read moreambiance; especially the sweet cats that would wander around very politely asking for pets! The owner apparently feeds a good number of street cats and we loved the additional company. Our waitress (Heather maybe?) was incredible, giving us menu suggestions as well as tips for our visit to Culebritas we had planned for the next day. She was super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her and learning a little of the history of the restaurant. The food was mostly amazing- we loved the escargot, it was a different preparation than I've had before with a sort of buttery herby sauce. Also loved the sides, the beans and rice were top notch and the mixed mash was very fun and interesting though a little dry without sauce- delicious with some sauce from other dishes. I heard very good things about the chicken and shrimp; unfortunately one star off as my husband and I bought got the Mahi-mahi and it was rather chewy and tough. The flavor was there but didn't really enjoy the texture. I would 100% go back and get the shrimp though!

    Susies is the best known restaurant on Culebra Island. They…read moreusually open on Thanksgiving but this year decided to open in October. Great idea? Wait to find out... We started with a bottle of wine similar to a Chardonnay. But let's talk food. I ordered the escargot. If you know anything about me it's that I absolutely love escargot. I will order them any where I can. I have tried them everywhere from NY to Ca and even Spain and Italy. Susies hands down wins in this category. The butter garlic combination is amazingly delicious. And they don't skimp on the escargot. There's plenty of them unlike other places that count them. The service at Susie's? As friendly and as personable as you want. Every one is happy and pleasant but then again you live on the best island that has the #3 best beach (Flamenco). I had the machi machi. Excellent choice! Plus the rice and beans which I grew up on, however they did not make them with sofrito which is really the secret ingredient to making them. But still delicious nonetheless. Over all, I'll continue to visit Susies each day every time I'm here. Since it was my birthday we ordered the Carmel cheese cake to go. Because some things need to be eaten in private. Shhh....
