We arrived and were seated at a table in the courtyard, the place was very busy. The waiter stopped by and took orders. We had drinks; an Old Fashioned, Mojito, Sangria, with a few beers that followed. The mojito was tasty, but not real strong. The cocktail prices are a bit high, but it is a tourist location, the beer prices are excellent. We had a couple appetizers; Chicharrones de Pollo and Mozzarella Sticks. They were ok, the Chicharrones were mostly bone. The service was good, the waiter was friendly and responsive. Overall, nice place for a drink.

We…read moredrove down there they have a valet to park your car which was awesome and we got seated immediately. As soon as we sat our server Jan came over. He was awesome and gave some conversation and we found out that he's spent some time in Boston which is where we're from. He immediately brought out menus followed by some water. We order spicy fish tacos w/ Crabmeat and Fajitas. The spicy fish tacos were delicious and the taste was so different. I'm not sure what they seasoned that crabmeat with but it was so good. The tacos were soft but they may have put them in the oven so they had a crunch to them. The fajitas came out steaming as usual and the shrimp were blackened which I appreciated so much but I think that just happened from being in the pan. They gave the lettuce salsa guacamole and sour cream on the side. The plating was so neat. The restaurant is an outside place so you see all the cars passing by. I really liked that. Everyone was super friendly. They have a big screen tv and music playing. It's very relaxed and chill and the prices are easy on the pockets. It was my cousins birthday the brought us some shots. Bailey kahlua and whipped cream with cinnamon on top. I think they made the whip cream themselves. 10/10 I enjoyed this restaurant. It's not all the hustle & bustle that San Juan has its off the beaten path and in a quiet settled neighborhood. Give it a shot

The only thing I wouldn't recommend is getting the guacamole and chips, not because its bad, but because they place the guacamole on top of the chips, so there won't be any in the bottom. I was also under the impression that the guacamole isn't fresh. Regardless of that, everything else was delicious. It's not expensive. I will definitely be returning.

I live in Northern California and I am blessed with excellent authentic Mexican food restaurants everywhere, this is definitely not aauthentic. To begin, the rice was basmati, the mole sauce for the enchiladas was ground up black beans, no cocoa or spices, and the chicken was flavorless. Just to make things worse, our hostess is waiting for us as we walk in and in a heavy German or Nordic accent instructs us to walk in and as we walk, stop at a podium, quickly take a picture of the menus and then hurry to the back of the restaurant to our table. Very precise and militaristic. Finally, dessert options straight from Costco, Reese's Cheesecake! Next time I am in Vieques I will make a point of avoiding this place. Not for me.
