Our large party [adults & children] had a phenomenal experience at Pézkame in Luquillo [San Juan]…read more We called a few hours before to make dinner reservation and their process was completely seamless. They accommodated our big group perfectly, and the entire staff handled the seating and service without a single hiccup. When we arrived, our table was ready and made it easy for everyone to talk and enjoy the evening together. We kicked off the night with classic cocktails cultivated by our bartender, Samuel. The mixed drinks were nicely complimented with the coconut bread, fried cheese and an absolutely phenomenal tuna tartare which set the bar incredibly high for the rest of the meal. The absolute highlight of the night was bringing in our own freshly caught fish, a king mackerel. Reservation is highly recommended if you plan to do this. The kitchen prepared it three ways for us--into the most vibrant, citrusy ceviche, incredible fish tacos and seared mackerel steaks to absolute perfection. The multiple styles blew us away and tasted unbelievably fresh. Every other dish we ordered were equally spectacular. The Peruvian fried rice was packed with flavor and the octopus was perfectly tender. You can't leave PR without trying the plantains, which added the perfect touch of sweetness to our culinary smorgasbord. Our server, Johaneyshka was incredibly attentive and kept the entire evening running smoothly. To top it all off, the owner, Jose personally came out to our table to talk with us. He was super nice, deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly well-versed in the food and flavors. He shared his passion for a cuisine that nurtures the soul, fills the belly, and brings his culture to life, revealing it as the driving force behind his restaurant. That personal touch made our night feel truly special. If you are looking for a top-tier, local spot that blends Puerto Rican flavors with a Peruvian cuisine, cozy group dining, a place that will masterfully prepare your own catch, and treat you like family, Pézkame is an absolute must-visit in Puerto Rico!

Everything we ordered was excellent--the fish tacos, ceviche, pollo chaufa, lomo saltado, and shrimp huancaína did not disappoint. Every dish was flavorful and genuinely delicious. We'd definitely come back! One minor negative was some nickel-and-diming on extras. When we asked for water for the table, we were brought five $2 bottles rather than tap water. We were also charged $1.50 for a tiny takeout container of hot sauce--about a ketchup packet's worth--to go with our two orders of fish tacos. Neither charge was mentioned when we asked. Not a big deal given how much we enjoyed the meal, but something to be aware of.

We had the pleasure of being taken care of by Angelita and she made our delight her mission!! We began our meal with a bottle of The Fableist Cabernet Sauvignon, a beautiful full-bodied, but seemingly light, wine with vibrant, fruity notes of black currant and a hint of smoky oak. We then ordered the Crab Cassava Cake and the Vegan Ceviche appetizers The Vegan Ceviche was a refreshing medley of bright and fresh vegetables in a light lemon broth with a super tasty Breadfruit Fritter. The Crab Cassava Cake was an absolute SHOW STOPPER!!! The crab stew was bursting with true Puerto Rican "Criolla" flavor and was exquisitely complimented by a luscious and light cassava cake infused with tart, creamy goat cheese As a person who has never had a traditional crab cake due to a serious aversion to mayo, I was so stoked to try this version and it was absolutely worth the wait!! For our entrees, we selected the Grilled Salmon and the Chulekan. The salmon was perfectly cooked and served with asparagus and a hearty and delicious mashed Malanga (taro). The Chulekan is a traditional grilled pork chop preparation and Costa Azul has it perfected!!! The generous portion was incredibly flavorful and moist and topped amazing "mamposteo" style rice and beans. Both of our delectable meals were devoured with gusto! Overall, Costa Azul delivers on flavor, vibes and innovation and is a definite DO NOT MISS if you are in the Isla Verde/Carolina area!!!

The restaurant is located in the cute Miramar area -- also home to my favorite coffee shop, Gustos! Finding parking on Ave. Juan Ponce de León is not easy, but there are many side streets that had open parking spots. The restaurant was busy the whole time we were there, but there always seemed to be an open table. Our waiter was excellent and all the waiters we saw were bilingual. The garlic bread was ok -- tasted like garlic powder on a fluffy, lighted toasted sourdough. I had the "regular" grilled pork chops and they were the best pork chops I've ever eaten. The taste of the grill was so good and the chops were still pretty moist. My wife and kids had the churrasco skirt streak. My son said the steak at Bebo's was better, but I the steak at Los Pinos was super tender and buttery. The mofongo was so bland we didn't eat it and the amarillos (sweet plantains) were dry and lacked any caramelization on the exterior. French fries were good. As a bonus, I finally got my tres leches and it was good. I've never seen a cake oozing so much "milk" from the top of the cake when it was cut. Overall, a solid place, but Bebo's gets the win for our favorite Puerto Rican food. Regardless, I would easily return here for a meal.

The only thing that I was not that happy about was the service is good people a while for us to get food, but I guess you were delicious. But we waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes just to ask for them to come over ask for our check. They might be because they were closing up the restaurant, but they might've forgotten about us.

It was so pretty inside and the food and cocktails were excellent. My husband had a chicken breast and mashed potatoes dish that he raved about for the entire day -- yes, I said chicken breast. He loved it so much he was basically ready to lick the plate! We had a few different cocktails between our party of 4 and we were all very happy with what we ordered. The food was extremely fresh and flavorful -- I wish we had time to go back. Service was amazing -- we were the only ones there for a bit and they gave us our space but checked on us consistently.

Reviews checked out, so I took a seat near the grill/food prep area. It is in the open, they have nothing to hide here. Music is upbeat, not Salsa. I ordered the spicy crab appetizer. Delightfully spicy, yet the Guacamole tames it nicely. Great choice! I moved on to the Chicken breast in Garlic sauce. Watched as the young, but experienced chef started cooking the meat on low heat, allowing the Garlic to be absorbed, then turning up the heat to seal in the flavor. Great Technique! It was served piping hot with careful presentation. They have great burger selections, and other amazing-sounding appetizers as well. I will likely add a report on other selections this week, as I plan to return! Waiter was attentive and responsive, explained the menu items I was not familiar with. For dessert, I went with the old fashioned. Perfect cap! (I have to take mine without simple sugar). Well-made, and garnished with an orange/lime hybrid fruit. All in all, this is the place to go in Miramar!
