    Sunset from patio
    Maria S.

    Wanted to love this place...got here....ordered..watched sunset..hour past. I ordered the Plantain Soup..Mahi bites and my son ordered the bacon mac and cheese hamburger. After an hour and half. Burger came out raw...no bacon. Plantain soup probably the most flavorless I've had. Mahi bites were ok but just was expecting a bit more. I asked about food after an hour and they told me that the waitress did tell us there would be a 40 to 50 minute wait for food...never happened. Waitress w the braids kept an attitude with me about it..never once offering anything for the inconvenience. Beautiful spot, mediocre food...

    We loved this restaurant! I loved the outdoor seating with the ocean view. I love a good restaurant on the beach. They have great Monfongo. My husband also enjoyed his meal.

    Great view, good food, slow vibe Parking was a win (street gets crowded), and the view? Gorgeous! You can watch surfers while you eat and I can only imagine how stunning the sunset must be on a clear day. Service was definitely on island time, so bring your patience. I had the pollo asopao which was really flavorful and comforting, though I could've done without the big onion chunks. The mango frappe (basically a tropical smoothie) was the real MVP so refreshing and delicious. Chill spot overall!

    This restaurant has the most spectacular view of Hobo Beach. You can see waves crashing, surfers, and just the most beautiful scenery from their patio dining. The ambiance is just great. As for the drinks, I had a passion fruit mojito that was out of this world. For my apps, we had the cod fish fritters. These were gummy, and flavorless. They were in a kind of sauce that was equally as flavorless and paste like. We also had the montaditos which were pretty good. For my meal, I got the mofongo con carne frito. Good flavor and portion but very greasy. The service was on island time for sure. We waited and waited just to get the server to take our drink order.. over a half hour and we made sure to put in our food order at the same time in case they didn't come back. I'm a pretty patient person but they tested that for sure. I give this place 4 stars because if you have time to kill, and are patient.. the view is enough to make the visit good.

    Dining at Palo restaurant near Jobos Beach was one of the most relaxing and picturesque lunches I've ever had. Perhaps it was the absolutely perfect weather that day, or the gentle breeze as I enjoyed my meal on the patio--but the entire experience felt like pure bliss. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. When I shared my food intolerances, they made sure to guide me toward dishes I could enjoy. They offer a full bar at the establishment, but I ordered a traditional Puerto Rican mojito. Instead, I ordered the mofongo relleno de mero (stuffed grouper mofongo) with their ajillo cream sauce, and let me just say--it was amazing! The grouper was light, buttery, and cooked to perfection, while the creamy garlic sauce was rich and smooth, pairing perfectly with the mofongo. We also tried the Cajun tuna with lime crust, which was another standout. The tuna was seared perfectly, leaving the inside beautifully medium rare, and the richly seasoned potatoes on the side elevated the dish even more. Between the incredible food, the salty sea breeze, and the sound of waves crashing just feet away, this meal felt like a little slice of heaven. I can't wait to return!

    Service was pretty decent and I think the view would have been great had it been during the day. The fish in the fish tacos was cooked well but it was just overall pretty bland, could have definitely used more seasoning. Shrimp mofongo we got creole sauce with but again was bland. I expected a kick from the creole sauce but nothing...shrimp was cooked well but just needed more.

    Mojito

    Great restaurant with awesome views of the beach and palm trees. Food and service was top notch and drinks were very good also. I had chicken & penne alfredo which can be easily messed up but it was delicious here, sauce was creamy just how i like it. Can't wait to go back next time I'm on the island.

    VEGAN!!! The food was homemade Puerto Rican cuisine. I'm vegan and they accommodate my crazy requests! I recommend the vegan burger (mushrooms). And take the cheese off the salad ! Five stars. The service was excellent. Friendly etc etc. And the view was the best!

    I'll start with the good things. The location is BEAUTIFUL and sits right on the water. Our waiter was very kind and helpful when choosing our meals. The mojito and pina colada were also devine. I wouldn't say these things are bad, but just not good enough for a 5 star review.... Parking is chaotic. With the narrow roads and street parking plus a congested area - just be prepared. When we arrived a waitress told us the wait would be over an hour, despite seeing empty tables. We agreed to wait and within 5 minutes another waiter arrived and sat us immediately. The food is meh.. several in our group got the shrimp and chicken tacos and the food just lacked seasoning. Everything comes separate so you can build your own tacos, but it just lacked flavor. One person in our group got mofongo and said it was just "okay." Would probably go back for the view, the drinks and some appetizers but don't look for this place to knock your socks off.

    Juan was our server, he was very helpful and professional! Everything was delicious
