    Octopus and rice with land crabs
    Debra G.

    This restaurant is almost on the beach so while sitting on the deck you have unobstructed views of the beach. Plenty of parking on site. Very spacious with plenty of seating and a great staff. They kept checking in. The passionfruit smoothie came with a new reusable metal straw in a little bag with the cleaning brush! Such a great idea to encourage people to cut down on waste especially straws which are harmful to sea life. The drink itself was amazing and with fresh made whip cream. Great portion of octopus and I was stuffed but ate every bite because it was so delicious and the rice with bits of crabs elevated regular rice. There's a huge chair to take fun pics. Great place for friends, families and it's very relaxed.

    Pura Pesca has my favorite fried fish in the island so far. While trying to explore the west side of PR we stopped in this open air restaurant for some fresh seafood. I ordered the pescado frito with plantains. Everything felt fresh and flavorful. The restaurant has a beautiful view, in front you have the ocean and to the east mountains. The only downside of this place is the wait time. I suggest you either come with a lot of patience, not very hungry, or order some alcapurrias/fritters while you wait.

    Estaba aquí con familia.. y bueno creo que necesitan más ayuda.. y organización. La comida estaba okay para lo que pagamos. : here with family and well I definitely think they need help and a lot more organization. The food was alright for what we paid for.

    Right next to the beach!

    SOLO PUEDES PAGAR CON EFECTIVO . Encantado con el servicio aunque fue un poco despacio y las bebidas son muy pequeñas en el vaso que las dan. Delicioso todo y feliz con el area donde esta. Hay bastante estacionamiento enfrente del restaurante. Vale la pena ir a comer aquí!

    Mixto Salad

    Came here on Mother's Day for what i hoped would be an amazing dinner. The COVID procedures in place are ODD HERE. You have to order the food ahead of time and either give them your number or wait towards the front/outside of the restaurant until your food is ready THEN they will seat you at a table. I wish i would of known this ahead of time because we would of picked another restaurant instead. The ordering process was messy. The staff is a bunch of college jocks. During ordering our food, the waiter stopped acknowledging US to carry on a convo with his coworkers. They were laughing and carrying on as oppose to dealing with the customer FIRST. I should of ran away THEN. My aunt and I wanted a WHOLE lobster. We were informed they didn't have ANY. So we opted for the Mix Salad instead. Which has lobster meat, shrimp and octopus in it. Its served with tostones and salad. Minutes after the waiter comes back and tells us that if we wanted lobster, we could have it but its going to cost $120. We declined because we were already annoyed and not happy with the customer service. AGAIN the waiter comes back and says they magically found one lobster and if we wanted it. I told my aunt to have it. Food is finally ready now. The waiter brought our drinks and food over to us. We told him we wished to be seated and they took us towards the water. We finally opened the bag and the whole lobster was INSTEAD a pile of lobster meat with tostones and salad. I couldn't believe it. The menu clearly says the lobster is grilled and has butter, etc. Instead it was legit like a lobster ceviche. We told the waiter that's not what we ordered, he takes the food and comes back with the same lobster meat just NOW instead the lobster shell. Of course we were even more annoyed but HUNGRY. So we ate. Food was okay, nothing exciting. Then the bill comes and they tried to charge us $54 for the lobster meat which is MORE then the $45 on their menu for the WHOLE lobster. It was a back and fourth fight with these people disputing the bill. TWO different waiters came to discuss it with us and the last person was the cook. The conversations got heated because we were told that they prepped the whole lobster and threw out the head, claws and shell/body. HOWEVER, they did bring my aunt back the food with the lobster meat inside the shell. Which means they took it out the trash? I have no idea if they were overwhelmed since it was Mothers Day BUT this place sucks. They need NEW more mature staff members dealing with the customers. This place is over-rated since its on the water. I DO NOT RECOMMEND unless your taking the food to GO and even then, be sure to check the bags to ensure your order is correct.

    Menu Item: Arroz con Jueyes y Habichuela (rice with crab and beans)

    Parking can be found in the lot next to the establishment. Service was a bit slow but friendly. They may have been short staffed at the time. The seating and view are very nice. It's a good place to have a drink and enjoy the view. We were looking for a snack so we did not order any main dishes. We ordered the Sorullitos de Maíz (deep fried corn meal bites), Masitas de Pescado (deep fried fish bites), a Pastelillo de Carne (deep fried pork turnover), and Arroz con Jueyes y Habichuelas (rice with crab and side of beans). The deep fried stuff (sorullitos, masitas, and pastelillo) tasted as expected. They were the usual frozen then deep fried food. The arroz had some crab flavor but no crab meat. The beans were fine. For appetizers, this place is not special. But the service was good. I could tell they were doing their best being short-staffed. The view and the seating area was nice as well. If you're looking for a place to have a drink and enjoy the view, then this is a good place to visit.

    Located right on the beachfront, this should be an obligatory stop for all visitors in the area. Fresh local seafood. Waves crashing right by u as u eat. Soak in the local culture as locals and tourists eat side by side. Those in the know eat here. Late lunch/ early dinner with beers and soda for 3 was only $30. Very reasonably priced. Definitely will be visiting again. Highly recommend. P.S. we had the Dorado fish with yucca and onions. Try it . You won't be disappointed

    This people are ridiculous! The bait and switch is rude. I ordered the lobster as pictured in their menu and THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT I GOT - the menu has one price and they charge you because apparently the lobster weigh more - STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE TERRIBLE THEY RUINED MY MOTHERS DAY WITH THAT BS

    The food was so good & tasty, especially the rice & beans. I had the mahi mahi. The fish was prepared grilled with onions on top and came with a side of creamy sauce & side salad. I sat by the area with a great view of the water. It was a nice day. Cash only!

    See all
