If you're looking for the best asopao on the island... your search stops here…read more I've never had something like this before. The flavor was ridiculous in the best way possible, the shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the tostones were notably fresh. 10/10- you MUST go. Out of all of the gumbo variations I've had from countless regions, Puerto Rico's is my favorite. Particularly from La Cueva Del Mar. Our server, Nicole, was an angel. She is SO SWEET. She made the experience even better!!! It was packed and very loud at 7pm on a Thursday, which is a nonissue for me, but if your party prefers a quiet meal, be mindful of timing.

The good: Convenient location, valet parking, lively but not overwhelming environment, good music,…read moreand good drinks which is a plus. Food is usually good. The Meh: I liked this Cueva del mar in calle loiza but this experience was subpar. Prior to even ordering, I asked if their famous fish tacos would have the same coleslaw with their special sauce intermixed like it's been since 2007, but in recent visit on Dec 2025 was not the same. He stated he understood. When it arrived, the cole slaw was dry, not the same famous fish tacos i've been used to for years unfortunately. It was unnecessary for the waiter (male in his 50s with black ivy cap) to insist to try to prove me wrong stating that "it's always been this way and i've worked here for 15 years" when my mother and i have had these fish tacos since it opened originally in guaynabo circa ~2007. Mind you, i am bilingual and overheard the waiter talking to the kitchen. Their solution was to bring sauce on the side. My partner ate 1 fish taco, I ate none. When we left the establishment, the waiter went outside to stop my fiance. The waiter never approached me to apologize directly por el mal rato. I also found it extremely distasteful to have to overhear an employee (brunette) on her break (or otherwise) with her foul language near our toddler. We'll just have to stick to another location that treats customers better.

We love El Pescador! It's one of our favorite places in Fajardo for fresh seafood, and we've always…read morehad a great experience here. The ceviche is seriously one of the best we've ever had. So fresh and full of flavor! The lobster with butter sauce is delicious, and the shrimp with butter sauce is just as good. Everything always tastes fresh and cooked perfectly. We also love the location. It's in a cute little area where you can walk around before or after dinner and enjoy Fajardo. Great seafood, great atmosphere, and a place we always look forward to coming back to!

All things went well. The hostess was attentive indeed as…read morewe arrived and she was able to get us through a side door and into the inside air conditioning indoor area. We do travel with a wheelchair. The server was very good and well knowledgeable on the menu. He was even photographed in the menu. We ordered a couple cocktails as well as many appetizers. We didn't order any entrees, as our family likes to try many things. My wife's favorite is ceviche and she was impressed by this dish. (Order it) We also ordered fish bites. Solid choice as the guava sauce was memorable. La arepas de coconut. Solid. The fish empanadas were great. Definitely order those. But calamari was chewy and overcooked. I'd pass on this. Cocktails were amazing. Spicy margarita is spicy!! I had a mojito which was delicious. You won't go wrong with any cocktail. Server was great. He did mention to me that we should order soon as the kitchen will get busy. We waited as we were enjoying our dinner. (We didn't have any problems) I'd go back. I'd also suggest sticking to your plan. It's your evening and don't let service control the experience. At the end of it...you control the tip = thank you.

Until Tommy arrived. Lol He gave me a great little lesson regarding the red lights and sea turtles, day drinking, and some cool spots to check out. One of the cleaning guys made me a rose out of a leaf. If you want to wind down after the day, its a cool place to relax and enjoy a drink. They offer bar food as well.

Atmosphere: the building inside is a little lack luster but it still holds its own charm. Very industrial looking, there are little stands throughout the place, each vendor selling their own products! Taste: although this is more of a shopping place, there is a coffee stand inside and it has by far the best coffee! They roast their own beans and the baristas are so welcoming!! Uniqueness: very unique! Handmade items always amaze me and this place surely holds that standard! Con Price: unfortunately because everything this hand made for the most part, products will be expensive.

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.

The owner was friendly…read more& generous for giving me a free sample of their local "pot fish" which is only sold Tuesday's & Thursday's. To tell you the truth, I will attempt to make it here in Las Vegas after enjoying this dish so much!! Since it was 8:00am after waking up on our last morning before catching the plane & there was nothing (no restaurants) near the Starz Hotel (airline organized this last stay here) I was hungry for real food. My breakfast was a portion of macaroni & cheese with the local grilled chicken, Johnny cakes, & the pot fish (which would be my lunch on the plane!!). Their cleaning lady went out of her way to point the bathroom & other things inside this eatery. Customer service & manners is so important in the service industry that I wished the tourism board of this island organized training for locals because it's desperately needed. Greeting people, basic manners is what this island as a whole is lacking.
