This is a nice place to come on the weekend with the family or group of friends for some good food and an ocean view. We went during the day with some friends (all with kids), but it seemed like it would make for nice date night. We shared the Marine Sampler and Coconut Shrimp for appetizers. It was all good, but I'd say my favorite was the coconut shrimp. For the main course I went with the octopus stuffed mofongo. It was overflowing with meat and sauce. I could have done with less sauce, even though it was good. The octopus was good. Well prepared and fresh. The others at the table mostly went with the red snapper, which they bring to the table beforehand so you can pick the one you want. Their beer options weren't interesting so I went with a vodka and passion fruit juice. Overall, we had a nice experience. I'd return.
A restaurant at the coastal line that you can enjoy the sunset. It is a place for romantic dinner. Price is not cheap if you go for local lobster. We has seat close to lava rock beach section. We enjoy the last minute sunset view while having our dinner. The menu is in the board and they are changing every day. We have the Langosta Fresca Entera PR. Fresh whole local lobster. We also added the scampi shrimp in the dish. The lobster was grilled with butter. I like the chewy local lobster meat. The shrimp is not bad either. This dish is by weight. We also got the virgin pina colada and banana strawberry colada. Very refreshing. Service is really good here due to high class restaurants. Parking is available in the front.
The chillo frito was amazing. It was fresh, like caught that day fresh. You then get to choose which one you want. It was fried to perfection. I got it with rice and beans on the side, which were very good. The coconut shrimp and the calamari were also very good. The best thing though is the view of the ocean.
Excellent service! The staff is super kind and I loved that the wait was less than we were originally told. It's a great way to manage expectations. The marine sampler was great. I love calamari but this exceeded expectations. Soft and wonderfully flavored. Not chewy or rubbery at all. Highly recommend the mojitos with champagne as it's way better than a regular mojito because it's not as sweet. A little disappointed that the did not have the snapper but the salmon was well cooked. The ribeye was huge and cooked exactly like we wanted it; rare. Everyone enjoyed our meals and I can't say enough good things about the friendly staff. A must go to place to eat.
We had an amazing experience at Salitre. This is probably one of the best spots to have dinner right before sunset. Fish was super fresh and fried to perfection, all the sides were delicious, service was outstanding. I will come back soon. Only 1 hour from San Juan (def worth the drive).
Found this place on a trip to the beach. The mahi mahi was so good! Cooked al ajillo with a mofongo on the side. The mofongo was moist and paired really well with the mahi. Large sized portion of food. Our server was so sweet! She was timely and attentive. The beach view was to die for. Even on a hot day, you can't beat lunch with a view.
The restaurant was part of a villa-restaurant operated by the same husband-and-wife owner team. Decor: seaside restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating. Located right at the beachhead. Service: attentive, friendly and considerate. Recommended that we order one-portion paella instead of two so that we could enjoy our additional lobster. A lot of people, so took quite a while to deliver our entrees (about 10-15 minutes). Food: Excellent food. Starter-fried mahi-mahi fillet. Hot, creamy, fresh. Entree-we had a lobster and languistine paella and a grilled whole lobster of 1.44 pounds. The paella tasted nice, the rice not too mushy and not overly crunch, with perfect seasoning. Creamy lobster tails and languistine included. The grilled lobster is a must-have. A whole Atlantic lobster cut in half and grilled with simplest seasoning of butter, parsley and flavor. Tasted fresh out of the sea with a nice bite. Side dishes of sweet potato fries and Caesar salad were both good. Drinks-delicious cocktails. Overall: Five stars, recommended for everyone hands down. Also, the guest house is a nice villa with spacious rooms, a swimming pool, a nice sea view, and two extremely adorable and friendly cats! Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a stay near Arecibo.
No recomiendo este lugar. La comida está muy condimentada. Me enfermé del estómago. Además la mesera era ruda y sin modales con mala actitud. Había muchas moscas en el área de nuestra mesa. No vale la pena ir. I don't recommend this place. The food is too seasoned and salty. I got sick after I ate that crap. The waitress had a really bad attitude. There were also many flies around our table. Don't go there.
I must say that this was our second visit. It all comes down to the food and the view(location), you are going to pay for it so, it is what it is. The thing that makes Salitre different is the Mofongo with yuca, I have to say that this time it was not as good as the first time. It was so good the first time that we talked about it for months. I'm not saying it was bad, it was delicious but it was not a "Wow, delicious bring me another one, and one to go as well". We walked in just before rush hour, I guess, without a reservation and they had a table of 4 with an amazing view. The staff was great, everything was clean. The indoor sitting was very nice, the weather was awesome so the outdoor sitting was the way to go(all they had for us anyway lol). We had the empanada stuffed with mahi mahi, it was a good appetizer... 3 small empanadas but very delicious. FYI, Another table ordered a seafood sample platter and they were all saying that it was good. The Mofongo with shrimp was great. The catch of the day was very good. The kids ordered ribeyes, outstanding....the kids were in heaven. The frapes were delicious: Mango was the best. Also the strawberry with passion fruit very good. The passion fruit juice was for sure natural. Our total was $174.00 (no tip) on the expensive side. 2 steaks, 1 fried fish, 1 mofongo con camarones. 6 frapes, 1 juice, 1 bottle of water. I recommend this place for romantic dates, families, families with little kids, business meals, handicapped people can enjoy the restaurant and food as well. After you eat, you can walk along the shore, it is beautiful and y'all should visit the light house and "la posita del obispo", it is a less than 10min drive and has amazing cliff views and the waves and rocks provide a beautiful scenery. FYI, the owner has a rental property next door (it seems nice) They also have their own boats to catch their fish.
Not the best seafood place in the area. We (a party of four) went there on a Friday afternoon for lunch. We were seated fairly quickly, in the inside part of the business as there were "no seats outside" - that wasn't the case. The server came promptly to take our order: @drinks - mojito, sangria, water and a soda. The sangria tasted like pouch sangria poured into a glass and the mojito had little to no rum. @Starters - marine sampler, which was greasy and overly cooked. @main dishes - paella marinera for 2, lobster tail, and stuffed mashed plantains with ceti (local fish). My overall impression of the main dishes wasn't great for the price we paid for the meal ($$$). The paella for two lacked flavor and the seafood wasn't properly cleaned (the shellfish had the poop vein); the lobster wasn't local and tasted weird; the stuffed plantains with ceti were very salty. For the latter we offered our feedback to the server and she just took the plate away, without offering any substitutions or following up. Enough to say that I'll not be coming here again. The price of the food goes beyond the quality and service. The only nice thing about the place its the view, which we got to see through a window. read more

The view was amazing. We got to sit right by the ocean and watch the huge waves roll up. Even got to see a couple of surfers trying to catch the waves, and my daughter saw a dolphin. The food was delicious, but our server was more amazing. She was patient and helpful. read more
Great service, awesome view if seating outdoors pairs perfectly with the dinning alternatives. Seafood its their specialty and it talks volumes. Loved the garlic-buttery topping while my tamarind was not that great. The shrimp is a most ask. read more

Unbeatably ocean view. Listening to the tides and drinking mojito? And the seafood is perfect. Also had the Marine sampler. The entrees themselves are great already but the sides? I don't like beans, but this chickpeas are just so well made read more

Amazing place to eat, relax and enjoy the view. Appetizers were excellent, fresh fish cooked to perfection and yuca mofongo was excellent. We finish our lunch with a fresh café con leche de Puta madre, that's the name of the coffee brand read more

While staying in a nearby hotel we decided to come have a nice dinner here since the reviews on Yelp were good. You have the option of eating indoors or out. We opted for outside. My boyfriend ordered the fish (you get to choice your fish) of the day and I had a monfongo seafood stew. Wow! Food was delicious and fresh. A bit on the pricey side but well worth it. Although, the restaurant is on the romantic side with beautiful views I still have a hard time referring to it as "upscale". Chairs and some tables were plastic, like the ones used in backyards. The offer private dining room for large parties. I gave it a solid four stars because regards of the furniture, the food and people were great. read more

Due to Covid restrictions you have to make a reservation before hand, the menus are laid out on a board that the waitress brings out and they have one per table. It's been years since I've been to the restaurant and they have expanded now they have tables on the shoreline and you have amazing views of the Arecibo lighthouse. The service was quick and the food exquisite, I had a mahi mahi paired with a red wine sauce. Would recommend to anyone visiting Puerto Rico or just a locals. read more

This place was amazing! We ate here after Cueva Ventana and before Cueva del Indio. I got the shrimp mofongo, and it was sooo delicious! Their drinks were good too, but unfortunately they did not have mojitos available when we went. My mom recommended this place and said the mojitos were amazing. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is nice because you're RIGHT on the beach. Great service, too! Definitely recommend this place. read more

We went for lunch with 3 kids and 3 adults. There's a great kids menu with multiple options.. we opted to order a couple of appetizers and one main entree to share - tapas style. The waitress was super attentive and made great suggestions. The kids loved playing in the outside area where we sat down beach front. The food was great, my favorite being the sampler that has calamari, mahi Mahi nuggets and the best coconut shrimp. Would go back again whenever in the area. Also got a free virgin piña colada by checking in on yelp and it was delicious! read more
