    Cheeseburger. Was a bit under.
    Amanda E.

    Amazing view of the sea, waves crashing while you enjoy a refreshing cocktail. Coconut mojito was awesome. Pina colada was so-so. Nachos delish, piled high- could not finish. Cheeseburger eh- a little under cooked for the husbands taste. Service was ok, I've had much worse on island.

    Plantain encrusted red snapper

    The best meal on the island by far! Plantain encrusted Red Snapper with garlic crème sauce!!! Find this place they have the coconut "Piratatas" !

    Steak, Cofresí fries, Coconut Water

    The place was very nice, is close to the beach which makes it very relaxing. Very nice professional restaurant, the service was pretty good, and the food super tasty. Would definitely go back.

    Welcome to Cofresi.

    The food, service and Ambience was excellent. The Pirata drink is to die for. We had appetizers outside and dinner inside.

    Now, admittedly I was really about the drinks when I was there. So this is more about the service, which was pitch perfect. The bartenders were great! Very friendly and fun! But also really quick. The pina colada were very well made (muy fuerte) and the shots came as quick as fast as we could shoot. The pinchos were perfect for breaking up the liquor. I also had the Pirata-their signature drink. It was pretty good but the cinnamon kinda threw off the flavor. Breakfast was good, It is continental style with fruits, cereal, bread, meats, juice, coffee, etc. They all have an ala carte items to order. The ala carte was great but I was fine with the included selection. Much to try on my next visit!

    Bohío bar menu

    A great location that's seriously hampered by subpar food. TL;DR Fire the chef(s) responsible. We stayed at Villa Cofresi (a great local resort hotel!) for 3 nights and since the restaurant is right downstairs by the ocean with a FABULOUS view, we tried eating there a total of 3 times. All 3 times, we unfortunately had to SEND AN ITEM BACK... and I think that should already tell you that something's definitely wrong here. First - we had dinner the day we arrived at Rincon. We ordered drinks - wife had coconut water off the ... actual coconut and I ordered their bar's signature cocktail - the Pirate Special. It was quite strong with rum but refreshing and went well with the delicious jumbo shrimp cocktail. We ordered 1 lobster in scampi sauce entree and that is where things quickly went south. The "scampi" sauce hit me like a 18-wheeler with super strong taste of alcohol and garlic. It seemed like the chef forgot to evaporate some wine and just left it there with 50% too much garlic, and forgot butter and lemon. And the lobster was like chewing rubber, and portion (see the pic) was pathetic as well. The basket of bread and the rice & bean side was delicious in contrast, and side caesar salad was normal. When asked, our super nice server apologized and took it back. We waited a good 45 minutes for the replacement before calling him again and he, a transplant from the US (won't use his name for anonymity as he spoke frankly) said he had just cancelled it because the chef "doesn't know what he's doing... and would make the exact same thing with overcooked lobster anyway"(!!!) We made the mistake of ordering the mushroom with a younger waiter earlier while waiting, and later our waiter told us that's "canned mushroom" which made sense cuz it was just ... not good. So our server took the entree off the menu but still kept mushroom which we left 90% untouched, on the bill. Service had that old-fashioned good feel but I felt that communication def. could've been much better. Second - the next morning, thinking last night must've been a fluke we decided to try eating breakfast. Another gent graciously took our order - a breakfast burrito and fruit platter with coffee. Coffee was not very good - was like those cheap ground coffee, but it's okay as we didn't expect much. Breakfast burrito was good, but the Fruit Platter... alas, after a bite of decent pineapple, I noticed a green mold on one of the cut melons. When I called his attention to it, he was shocked and sent it back, and took it off the menu when requested. Ok, at this point I was like 'you've gotta be kidding me.' Third - on our last day we decided to have quick lunch as we were checking out because we had finished our grueling diving certification that morning and was badly in need of fuel. We stayed in the AC'd indoor room where a pleasant young lady took our order. We got churrasco quesadilla and caesar salad, cuz, what could possibly go wrong with these? Alas, upon the first bite we realized that the quesadilla was WAY too salty(!) so again, after trying hard to somehow make it work, we ended up sending it back and taking it off the bill - something our server seemed to really agree on doing. So that's my recap of the 3 times I dined at the hotel while staying. In a word, I'd say it was "beguiling" because every aspect of our experience at the hotel was great: it was a local gem with a lot of history, extremely clean despite older look & feel, and outstanding servers all around, but the FOOD... there was something seriously wrong here to have the food be so consistently off-the-mark. Even for a hotel restaurant in a 2-star hotel at a tier-2 city Rincon, c'mon now... there is someone in the kitchen cooking when he/she really shouldn't be. And to be clear, I am NOT one of those self-entitled, super-picky diners who act like they're above all others and send back food & complain regularly - I just don't do that... but I could not NOT do it because food was really that bad. So I would recommend everyone staying at the hotel to look elsewhere - there are so many great dining options available (yes, some of those with views might be a bit difficult to book some nights!) so save yourselves the trouble until the hotel decides to be serious about the taste and quality of their food. ADVICE TO HOTEL: FIRE THE CHEF(S). HE/SHE IS MAKING THE REST OF THE RESTAURANT STAFF LOOK BAD!

    Typical Island food and service incredible I will be back for a couple of days.

    This is a plus if you are in the area you must come and visit. Great drinks and service. Joselyn was incredible Great Time and view

    I had a beautiful open air lunch with the sea lapping in front of me. The fish bites are a favorite. The chuletas (pork chops) grilled are my favorite. Every thing I've there is my favorite lol Nice calm and relaxing place. The service is great.

    Side of rice and beans
    Dia R.

    I had my heart set on Red Snapper but there was no rd Snapper fish available during my stay. The chicken is prepared the traditional local way and well seasoned. Fried sweet plantain is a must and and a perfect accompaniment to any meal. The rice and beans were salty and I was not aware until I saw, there was bacon pieces in it.

    This place was INCREDIBLE! We got to this side of the island late and picked this spot for dinner. We got a spot along the edge of the ocean, it was a beautiful ambiance. The pirates special is a must have- a rum drink in a coconut. Ask them to cut the coconut for you afterwards, so delicious. The food was amazing, we did the jumbo shrimp scampi. It came with a lot of food- rice and beans, salad, and bread, perfect for sharing. I only wish we went in the daytime to better see the ocean (we'll likely go back). The staff were incredibly friendly and eager to give recommendations to food and events going on while we are here. 10/10 experience!!

    Beautiful day with my wife at Villa Cofresi

    I've been here a few times now, both recently and about four years ago, and it never disappoints…read more Gorgeous views, great drinks, awesome food, and always good music. I usually go for the specials and they're consistently spot on. I've visited as a party of two and with larger groups of 10-15, and it's always a great experience. Thank you for being such a chill, go-to spot in Rincón. I make it a point to come back every time I'm in Puerto Rico. Currently thinking about those carne asada tacos and getting hungry all over again.

    On vacation for my nephew's wedding, and I stopped here two times already!…read more The Beach House in Rincón is such a gem! Whether you are a local or just visiting this beautiful corner of Puerto Rico, it's the place to unwind. There is a fantastic ocean view right from your table. I am positive you may also capture a gorgeous sunset or two! The vibe is laid-back with great music setting the perfect backdrop. Now, to the food and drinks which were outstanding! They really hit the spot'. I must first say the service is impeccable. The workers here seemed to really take pride in doing a good job to satisfy their customers! I ordered carne asada tacos which were on point bursting with flavor and so delicious! Also, they really know how to mix something special for their drinks. I had the Miami Vice I believe that was the name and also the Pina Colada. So addicting! The rest of the wedding party seemed to enjoy their food and beverages also! It's the perfect spot for incredible bites with an unbeatable view! This is the comfortable and cozy place you keep coming back to!
