    Pincho
    Raya V.

    I stop here every time I'm in town which is often. The pinchos are always fresh and amazing. The pastellios are amazing as well as the alcapurrias and bacalaitos. Their food is delicious as well and they're open really late most nights. The beers are cold and the drinks are flowing. I love the vibes and all of the beautiful people who I get to vibe amongst. The snapper and mofongo is a must also! The lobster is chunky as well.

    So good

    Amazing beach views and Good food! Loud music. Fresh Pinchos. Friendly service. Indoor outdoor seating.

    Empanada de Pizza

    Puerta Del Mar is a local restaurant and grill on the beach featuring traditional Puerto Rican beachgoing grilled and fried foods and more traditional options in the restaurant. My wife and I got there around noon but they were just firing up the grill. So we order a few fried options first: Bolitas de Queso, Arepas de Coco, Alcapurria with Crab, and an Empanada de Pizza. They were all delicious! The Bolitas de Queso were lightly crip and airy with super gooey cheese inside. The Arepas de Coco were soft and freshly baked with a hint of coconut sweetness. The Alcapurria with Crab was crisp on the outside, savory, smoky and filled with tender shredded briny crab in flavorful seasoning. The Empanada de Pizza had a soft doughy shell filled with a nice tomato and cheesy mixture inside. Once the first round of Pinchos were cooked we also had my favorite option here: Pinchos de Pollo. The chicken skewers were large, super tender, smokey and lightly marinated in a sweet bbq sauce. Overall, Puerta del Mar is a must visit.

    All the food and coconut goodness in this photo. A coconut, alcapurria, pinchos, and one pionono.

    Hands down the best food in Piñones. We've been here multiple times. The service and ambiance is unbelievable! If you want an authentic taste of PR this is the spot to be. From the best alcapurria to fresh cocos, drinks from the bar, and food is great. The pionono and pinchos were both the bomb!! Can't beat the ocean view here either!

    The food was fantastic! And the bar drinks were superb! Great view of the ocean and close to the airport for a quick snack after a long flight!

    Oysters

    Very delicious Was a little lost at first there are a few food places in the area but settled on this area !!!!!! Rhe chicken on the sticks was FIREEEEE legit amazing Ordered oysters and Pina colada's the oysters were ok.... I'm from Vegas so I've had better and traveled Burt the chicken was the best I would def go just for that

    Great view

    This restaurant has great food! Drinks are delicious and refreshing. Shrimp pasta was amazing and had 8 Huge shrimp in it. The red snapper was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the whole experience was ruined by the Server! He literally made our dining experience terrible. It was my husband's birthday so he got to choose where he wanted to go. We live here so we really wanted to try a different place to go. This server could not have cared less about taking our order, never checked in with us about our food. I told him that it was my husband's birthday and he never even acknowledged it. I saw that there was cheesecake on the menu and I wanted to order it as his birthday cake. He just said no cheesecake, I mentioned that it was on the menu and he just said " no".? I was a waitress for many years and this man had no idea how to make your dining experience horrible. Another table with 5 girls arrived and that was the end of his attention to us even less! Again, the food is great, nice vibe but the service was awful!

    Got our fix

    Good chicken skewers .. denitely recommend this place opens at 12. People already lined up .. close to access to the beach .. soak and eat also have fresh coconut.. good service this is a must try off the beaten path though.

    Alcapurrias of Jueyes

    The food was okay. One of three of our alcapirrias had a lot of mass chunks. There was no service when we went. You just head over to the counter and order the food. The location had a lot of empty tables that needed cleaning. However, some local birds called "changos" were taking care of the cleaning. The location is close to the beach, and it gives it a classic "chincorro" vibe.

    Was a little iffy when I order this because I ordered it from door dash to my hotel, BUT this was the BEST Red Snapper I have tasted in a long time. I order it for my wife but let's just say I ate half of it !!!! VERYYYYY FRESH

    Probably one of the best red snappers I've had in a long time. I've had this in other countries but this one didn't dry out. Cooked to perfection. Place is underrated. Great views of the ocean.
