Rincon Boricua

Hands down the best dinner experience of our entire Puerto Rico vacation! We celebrated our 19th…read moreanniversary here on 07/07/26 with our daughters, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The food was absolutely incredible, without a doubt the most flavorful meal we had all week, and honestly one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Order the chicken... WOW! Every bite was packed with amazing flavor. The service was truly exceptional. One of our servers, Allen, was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. He took the time to talk with us & he didn't seem rushed. The teamwork among the staff was amazing to watch. There was a gentleman constantly walking through the dining room clearing plates the moment we were finished, keeping everything spotless without ever interrupting our meal. Everyone worked together so seamlessly, and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed what they do. While we waited for our food--which actually came out super fast for PR--our daughters loved spending time down by the beach area. It was the perfect way to keep them entertained while we relaxed. And the view... photos simply don't do it justice. We had no idea just how breathtaking the setting and ambiance would be until we experienced it in person. If you're in Rincón, La Copa Llena is a must-visit!!

Came here for the sunset dinner. They do not take reservations and only walk-ins, so it is best to…read morecome at least 30 minutes before sunset if you really want a table closest to the water for the view. Unlike your typical Puerto Rican restaurants on this island, this restaurant is pretty white washed, so expect to be treated like it's mainland USA and they expect you to treat them the same. Water is not free. They'll bring you fancy water and charge you $5 for it. For food we got the Fish Curry ($32), Orecchiette Pasta ($28), and Tapa Poke ($20). The one dish not worth getting is the Tapa Poke as the portion is essentially bite size and you're paying $20. The others were pretty good, no complaints.

Sitting right by the water with the waves splashing up at you is epic, especially around sunset. The setting alone feels like it should be an unforgettable dining experience. Unfortunately, the service has consistently been unfriendly and unwelcoming, which really takes away from the atmosphere. The food has been marginal at best--fine, but not memorable, and not quite what you'd expect given the location and potential of the space. It's worth stopping by for the view (and the waves) alone, but I wouldn't come here specifically for the food or service. With friendlier staff and better food, this place could be something really special.

There are a lot of incredible restaurants and food trucks on the island, and I make it a point to visit new ones everywhere I go. With my home base being in Rincon, though, I'm so glad this restaurant is there because I go there a lot! Boricua never disappoints! Staff is always welcoming and friendly and they make great Mojitos, but honestly most places on the island make a great Mojito. What I've not been able to find elsewhere as delicious as Boricua's is the Pinone. To. Die. For. The parent restaurant, Red Flamboyan, is also fantastic (and also in Rincon), but Boricua tops it because of the Pinone. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience! The genuine flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine truly shone through, complemented perfectly by the warm hospitality of the staff.

Each one was better than the previous with the lobster Thermidor special being an absolute home run! It is the very best Thermidor I've ever had.

None of the other restaurants, especially in San Juan, did this. Foodwise, it was fantastic. We shared a variety of entrees. Known for their mofongo, we got the La Isla Desecheo ($37), which consisted of Cassava mofongo stuffed with churrasco in a mushrooms, parmesan and bacon sauce. That sauce was delicious, especially when you mixed it with the mofongo. We also got the Pechuga a la Carbonara ($19). This is a chicken breast stuffed with ham and mozzarella, breaded and fried with Carbonara sauce on top. I would compare this to a Chicken Cordon Bleu as it's very similar. Delicious nevertheless. If you're feeling like getting steak, then the Churrasco Z ($33) is for you. This is a Churrasco steak topped with a creamy parmesan cheese sauce, mushrooms, and bacon on top. We ordered this medium rare and they made it to perfection.
