The kiosks are a great place to go to after your day at the rainforest, beach, or really anything. As of the first week of June 2021, maybe 60% of the stores were open. Lots of different options for drinks, quick bites, sit down, and shopping. La Parilla is expensive, but really really good food. The very first one you see driving down the road the kiosks are on (I think it's 60) has amazing alcapurrias. It's messy there, as there are hardly any trash cans to throw drinks away. People just set them on a ledge and forget about it. Unfortunate, but didn't tarnish my experience. Felt extremely safe and left very happy I went. read more

Love Love Loved this place. One of the nicest Kiosk; local food and culture right on the beach.

Good area for drinks and beach activities, jet ski rental is also available. There are several good restaurants in the strip but the man with the blue tent sells the best chicken pinchos & rice, you can thank me later! read more

My husband and I visited the Kiosks after a day at Luquillo Beach. You literally have everything here. Any delicious native food you can think of, drinks, souvenirs, and friendly service at every kiosk you visit. Keep in mind that some kiosks, especially when it comes to souvenirs, are priced higher than others. Kiosk #15 was our favorite. We enjoyed a empanada de pizza at the very last kiosk and it was delicious! We walked past a restaurant that is firefighter themed and offers a discount to firefighters which is awesome! Our son is a firefighter and we can't wait to bring him there. Can't wait to visit again. read more

What can I say, across from a beautiful beach, lots of little places to get authentic Puerto Rican food, and souvenirs. Came here like 4 times in my week stay and always tried something new and delicious. Got lots of souvenirs too! Very welcoming people too!! read more

Luquillo Kiosks - Seafood Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Lots of shops but half open when we visited. Right off the highway and not a lot of parking.

Crowded area. Most of the kiosks have the same fried foods, rice, drinks. Close to the beach which makes it convenient. Food was good, expected. read more

Let me start with this- The single best thing I ate in PR was a plastic cup of octopus from one of the stalls here. I ate alot (ALOT) of food in PR. I would go back just to have more of that octopus. Oh, and there just happens to be a pretty awesome beach out back. The best travel tip I've heard for dining in a strange place is this: Look for the table having the most fun, tell the server you what they are eating/drinking (or point and smile if you don't speak the language) and go with the flow. That's exactly what I did at the stalls and it really paid off. My advice for visiting the stalls is to start at one end and walk the whole length, check out each stall. Notice the crowd, the menu and what people are eating. Each stall really has its own character and specialties. Even though, the heat lamps out front all appear to have the exact same empanadas and tostones. Make a mental list of the best looking places/things, then walk back and stop and order the ones you remember. The aforementioned octopus was actually an impulse add-on to my order. A guy (the one having the most fun) came up to the counter and ordered it while I was waiting for my order, a lobster taco and a coconut empanada. I pointed at the cup of octopus and asked the lady for one. The octopus was tender and sweet, more like lobster than come of the chewy octopus I've had. It was marinated in a lime and garlic sauce. They gave me a tiny portion cup of hot sauce as well. I literally drank the sauce remaining in the bottom of the cup. It was that good. The fried selections really are pretty similar, but some stalls are much better. Prices are all pretty good. Service is very laid-back. This is not a place to come in a hurry. The food stalls at Luquillo were a highlight of one of the best days traveling I've ever had. We were in PR for a wedding and really only had one free day to explore. So, we borrowed a car, stopped by Kasalta bakery for breakfast and cafe con leche, took the (scenic) drive out from our hotel in Ocean Park, hiked in El Yunque, stopped at Luquillo stalls to eat, and lounged on Luquillo beach. I highly recommend this itinerary if your time in PR is limited, it was an incredibly great day. read more

Might the most overrated spot by many I experienced . The area is not well kept with leftover food and beer cans along the path. Not all businesses have that issue here but, as an attraction it's rather disappointing. read more

Great food spot , beautiful water 3 stars . Who owns this plaza ? If go ( which you should try it at least once ) be prepared for a lot of garbage . Cans over flowing with rotten food , garbage everywhere including by the beach . If this could get cleaned up it's 5 star all the way . read more

Picture a strip mall of open-air restaurants with parking up front and beach out the back. Some are ramshackle, some are first-class joints. Walk the strip and owners try to coax you inside. It kinda reminds me of a Jersey shore boardwalk, except that almost every kiosko serves alcohol! Early afternoon on a weekday at least a third of the shacks were shut so maybe visiting after 4pm is the smarter option at the Luquillo kiosks. An awful lot of the stalls sell the same deep-fried stuff, empanadas and corn fritters; most will make you a mofongo. Many have free wifi which really helped us verizon suckers *cough* I mean customers. Gracious dining is available but not mandatory! I was glad for a drink, glad to get out of the sun, glad we didn't have to choke down greasy food while standing around. But like the boardwalk it quickly ran into money. read more

Luquillo Kiosks - Parking lot side of the kioskos - Seafood Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

It a must if you are going to the Yunque rainforest, fajardo, Ceiba or any of the town on the east coast. I could be here every day, just trying all different stands and enjoy the view of the beach. Plenty of parking but it can get packed during lunch hour. The good thing you can park on both sides (beach or highway). read more

This nightlife strip is amazing. You can get GREAT food and drinks here. The bars are distinguished by their numbers on the outside . Each bar has it's own number. I went to #20 and #25. You might get lucky finding parking because people are constantly in and out. Crowd is diverse since there are a lot of tourist around. If you want to party, eat or just chill with your friends enjoying the nightlife, I would recommend. read more

There is something for everyone here. I want to still try the Peruvian place. It closed too early. There are different prices for all kinds of things. It's a long strip of different flavors. I recommend Elderweiss in kiosk 38. The coco rice was awesome read more

An absolute must stop if you're in Luquillo! We came here multiple nights during our stay in the area. It's a great way to get a sense of local culture and food. I did not have one bad meal here. On the contrary, each meal at the kiosks was memorable. Definitely a more casual vibe with delicious food and drinks. The service was super friendly and welcoming too. Don't come to Luquillo without planning to try food at los Kioskos! read more

I stopped by the Luquillo Kiosks during my trip to PR. Many were not open on Tuesday for lunch, some were not open at all. I tried three different ones: #25 - The fritters here are great, mostly warm, crispy, tasty. I had the beef alcapurria and it was very good. EL Ceviche Hut. I had the fish ceviche and it was freshly made, tasty, spicy and good size portion. #55 - The last one of the kiosks, I saw many people there so I ordered Bacalaito, Chapin (taco) and a Pionono. Food was average, not great Next time, I will go back to #25. Great food, for a few bucks...you can't go wrong read more

There are probably some kiosks that are better than others, so it's kind of shot in the dark. Most sell similar items, such as fried empanada type stuff or mafongo. Most of them are also bars. Definitely hit or miss and maybe more touristy than I initially thought. The best food we had was at the end (or beginning, depending where you start) for Tito's Oysters. They're $1.50 each, shucked, and sweet and large. Also, don't get fooled into buying the coconut juice from the coconut. It's mostly coconut husk which makes it look large than it is. In two sips I had drank all the coconut juice! Not worth it. Also, it can be hard to find parking, so unless you have some time to spare I would not necessarily say this place is worth the wait. read more

Luquillo Kiosks - Titos oysters are bomb! - Seafood Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

60 or so food kiosks (including a few souvenir ones mixed in) right off the highway and near the beach. We ended up eating at the last one (#60: Roca Taina) and got two plates. One with rice and beans with lechon and the other with chicken and rice and beans. The total for both plates were $15 which I thought was pretty steep. The food was way too salty and the chicken and lechon dry. We ended up here because there were more people ordering food here than any of the other kiosks. Also, it looked like a very, local place. Most of the other kiosks looked like they sold the same type of deep fried Puerto Rican snack/food. Some places had lunch plates which was what we were in the mood for. read more

We went on the Monday of Memorial Day weekend and 1/3 of the kiosks were closed, either temporarily or permanently we're not sure. We drove past the next day and even more were closed. There are no trash cans so people pile trash on the serving counters of the closed kiosks. Most of the kiosks were souvenirs shops, sit-down seafood restaurants, or display cases with fried Puerto Rican food (surullitos, pastelillos, etc). The Puerto Rican food was good and cheap. The place was more run down than we expected though. We went to Lote 23 in San Juan later and it was great: little food booths with mofongo, pizza, burgers, poke, arepas, etc, with very clean and cute seating. read more

For authentic Puertorican food - the kiosks can't be beat. You can get everything from alcapurrias to piononos to pina coladas to empanadas - I even saw pasteles on the last kiosk! Too bad I stuffed my face on the previous ones - I really would have enjoyed that pastele! Ceviche hut is legit - the ceviche is the best I've had. Most of the huts have the same items and a few are more geared toward sit-down style. There is a juice truck that makes bebidas - you will have the BEST (virgin) PINA COLADA IN YOUR LIFE there. Try it!!! The only down side is that it is SUPER LOUD. The bass is bumpin and the parking is out of control. So, not good for young kids.... but other than that, it's a great local experience and everyone should at least try it once! read more

Luquillo Kiosks - FISH SOUP! - Seafood Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Finally get to try those frituras from kiosks! I have tried several types of pastelillo and papas rellenas, with meat or with fish and seafood, but my favorite is the one called "morcilla". It's a blood sausage with pig blood and rice. I always liked the Chinese and Korean blood sausages and found morcillas have similar taste to those I already love. It's great. read more

I asked a Facebook travel group for suggestions about what to do in Puerto Rico and the Luquillo Kiosks came up a few times. Our friend and local tour guide also recommended checking them out after our drive to El Yunque so we stopped by for a couple of hours on our last afternoon in Puerto Rico. It was definitely worth a visit as it felt like an authentic Puerto Rican experience with the row of small locally-run shops along the beach. We let our friend guide as on what to order and we ended up with a huge tray of food. I'm still not 100 percent sure what all we tried but everything was good. My personal favorite was the pincho de pollo, a chicken skewer fresh off the barbecue. We also tried bacalaitos, empanidilla de pizza and rice and beans. There's a huge selection of items in the display case but it seemed like most of them weren't labeled. If it weren't for our local friend who spoke fluent Spanish, I'm not sure if we could have handled choosing the right items for ourselves. I always think that my high school and college Spanish will be enough until I'm speaking with a native speaker and then I realize that I'm lost. We did get a good amount of food for three of us at a very reasonable price from the small kiosks. read more

Upon the recommendation of the condo owner we were renting from, we drove to the Luiquillo Kiosks to find some local good eats. The kiosks offer a variety of eating options from hamburgers, aripas, pizza and traditional Puerto Rican food. We arrived around 5:00pm thinking it would be prime dinner time; however, most of the kiosks were closed. We chose to eat at one of the few kiosks that was open (forgot the name and #). The food was delicious and the server was great and reasonable in price. There's also a few souvenir shops for those needing a "I love PR" shirt or a rastafari hammock for those needing a gift to bring home to a loved one. read more

Luquillo Kiosks - camarones and mofongo - it was so tasty! - Seafood Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

We were in Puerto Rico for a destination wedding and only had a couple days to spend away from the family. One of those days was at the Luquillo Kiosks and beach behind it. Best day ever. My husband ate a cup of octopus that made him blush. I've never seen him so giddy. We spent the morning hiking to a waterfall at El Yunque, then drove a terribly short distance to the kiosks. We were blown away by how good everything was that we tried. And we had the entire afternoon to try as much as we wanted. We lounged on the beach, ate, swam, ate some more, napped, then ate again. Heavenly. read more

These kiosks are the only night action in Luquillo. Parking can be difficult as this place is busy! You have to visit NEW YORK STLYE (kiosk 32). I cannot rave enough about how amazing this bar is. It's all day happy hour with 2 for 12 mojitos and margs. The mojito is so strong and has loads of fresh mint - by far the best I've ever had. They also have the only Nutella based pina colada on the island and you MUST try it. The bartenders are so awesome and talented. The fried queso is also really good finger food. They also have an outdoor seating area in the back with a big screen that overlooks the beach. Such amazing prices, friendly staff, good music, and strong and unique drinks. We came back here twice! You won't regret it read more

When you go to Playa Luquillo, walk over to the kiosks for a drink and some yummy frituras. They have the good stuff - and they all pretty much have the same stuff. Recommendations: acapurria de jueyes (crabmeat), pastelon or empanadillos de carne, bacalaitos (salt fish fritter), and papas rellenos - bring back to the beach and share the snacks. You can ask the people on line or behind the counter what they suggest. Make sure you order a beer, a mojito, or a piña colada to wash it down - ahhhh que bueno! This is the real deal. read more

I will be back!! Beautiful. The beach is amazing. Something different in every kiosko. Great drinks, food is crazy good, people were friendly, loved the atmosphere read more

Recently, my wife and I (see profile photo) jaunted off to Puerto Rico for a second honeymoon which included a stay in the rain forest, glitzing it up in San Juan and poolside relaxation in Ponce, but before all that mess, we decided to take up a suggestion given to me by a dear friend here in Baltimore...who happens to be Puerto Rican. Before i boarded my flight, he told me in very certain terms - "If you don't go to Kioskos de Luquillo, you'll die...of food boredom..." Fearing any universe-consuming paradoxes, I did the noble thing and took him at his request, and let me say that this is the only time I've done something at the behest of someone that wasn't my wife...or my boss...or my mother...hell - you get the idea. We stopped at a place that had some fritatas (kiosko #23, I think). I don't know what in the HELL they put in their dough to make their breaded crust taste so good, but whatever it is, I'd like a mound of it in my backyard. So I can dive in it! It was flaky yet sweet, but held the seasoned broth that my chicken was bathed in, and I am most appreciative for the bird that gave its life for my culinary enjoyment. My wife had one with fish and when she took a bite, she gave it the same look that she gives me every time I buy her diamond jewelry. Then again, that might have been a side effect of the drink he had from MojitoLab, which made her a custom flavoured mojito served in a bucket the same size as the one you get from Home Depot with paint in it. By the time she was done with it, and after a nice comforting stint on the beach, my wife was so blended, I could have rolled her back to our lodging in a wheelbarrow and poured her into a chair...we went back two more times. On our final trip there, which was on a Sunday afternoon, I didn't know whether it was a group of local restaurants or Puerto Rico's version of a SEMA car show, but damn was it entertaining. My wife and I will always remember two things about Kioskos de Luquillo: One: you cannot experience good local Puerto Rican food without a visit to this place, and two: the next time we go back, if we bring our kids - considering how many teenage girls hung out there, I'm pretty sure the food won't be the only thing my 15-year old son will find to his liking... read more

No trip to El Yunque is complete without a trip to Luquillo Kiosks! With over 50 stalls you can find all types of delicious food here. Additionally there is parking everywhere so don't bother for any of those paid parking lots that you see. Alot of the stalls are the same and include items like seafood, and fried foods, but definitely check out the arepa stand near the middle of the kiosks! Their seafood arepa is one of the best arepas I've ever had and the owner even makes his own sauces. After a bite to eat you have a beautiful public beach right behind the kiosks. Basically come here after a day at the National Park, eat some food, get a lil tipsy, go to the beach, get some more food; rinse and repeat. You'll thank me later :P read more

This place is a fun find. There are many different dinning options to choose from. Warning don't go here when you are hungry because it's overwhelming and difficult to make a decision. I can't recall the number of the place we ate at. It was a seafood place. I had the Sea bass which was great. My friend had a steak dish and was no happy with it. The food came VERY slowly and another table who came in after us got their food first. We were starving so we noticed. It seemed like the kitchen could not keep up with demand. I summed it up to Island time. I encountered this a lot during my visit. I also felt it was kind of pricey. $18 for the Sea bass dinner and we got an appetizer sampler for $13.96. Bottled water was from Costco and $2 a bottle. I would go back and try another place. Very fun dinner stop on the way back from the Ferry to Culebra. read more

We walked the length of the kiosks before choosing a restaurant which is hard to do with so many good choices. All the kiosks serve typical Puerto Rican food. The food and service were excellent. It was my daughter's birthday and the entire family was celebrating. We had the sampler plus a calamari appetizer and a grouper appetizer. That filled the hunger pangs. We were able to taste aa variety of foods. None was left. To finish we had two 2.8 lb lobsters to split between five adults and two children. The staff helped the children hold the lobsters by the feelers for prized pictures to show there friends when they return home. Minnesota does not have lobsters of this size even when imported. I recommend the kiosks as a must do for any visitor to San Juan to the East innPuerto Rico. read more

Service was horrible. I ordered fried fish and got fried chicken. The chicken was okay. The waitress messed up 3 out of 6 drinks and the entire service was extremely slow even though the restaurant was not even half full during lunch. read more

Hype, well as much hype as 18 reviews on Yelp can give. There were a little over a dozen stalls in total that served food and a few random spots selling useless junk. Of the food stalls, almost all had display cases full of left over looking fried goods and large bins of slop of various forms. We went to two of the stalls and were not impress by either the food or the prices. But there was a saving grace to the kiosks and it was in the form of a canopy atop a broken down truck at the entrance of the kiosks. A guy was selling raw clams and oysters he gets himself daily from the back of his truck. He shucks them for you and has an assortment of toppers to dot on them. Best part (besides them being amazingly fresh and delicious) was that the price went down with the more you ate. We got a mix of 8 huge clams and oysters for $7. Should I ever get trapped on that part of the island again, I'll go back just for that guy. read more

The Kioscos!!! Seriously delicious. Lots of super cheap, super tasty food to be had here. Our first stop was at #55 I believe. WE had a Canoa (sweet plantain stuffed with beef and cheese) and some Empanadas. All were excellent! I think we got multiple Empanadas, a Canoa, and a beverage for around $6. I also got a Guanabana smoothie at a cart parked across from the kiosks here. We ate our way down the row of Kiosks... I started to forget what I ate at what number. It all blurred into a tasty food coma. More empanadas, plantains, and some really delicious Dulce De Coco. And now I want to go back. Too bad I'm stuck in the Midwest for the foreseeable future.... read more

I wanted to love these little Kiosks, but for the most part, almost all of them had the same fried items. Maybe we came during a time where there wasn't a lot of tourists, but a lot of the food seemed like it had been sitting out for awhile. We tried one Kiosk for fresh coconuts and they had them, but you could tell they had been sitting out for awhile. We went through 5 to find 2 decent ones. It's really close to the beach so not too bad to stop by if you're in a bind for food. Granted, there is a lot of them, so you might find a gem, on my particular trip it was a bust. read more
