Came here for the first time with very high hopes. Waited over an hour to be seated. Once seated we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for a menu. I am visiting from Florida, I was intrigued with the calamari (as I am a huge fan of it) we ordered it and come to find out it was absolutely horrific, the worst calamari I've ever tasted ( and trust me I've had my fair share of calamari). We also ordered the mozzarella sticks which tasted as if they came straight from a freezer with horrible freezer burn. This being the first restaurant I tried while in Puerto Rico I am HIGHLY disappointed and will NEVER come back here. read more

Sonido del Mar held it down for us in the middle of a torrential rain storm. We enjoyed their mofongo and fritters. Their drinks were also great! It's a nice chill spot for dinner if you don't feel like getting too fancy but still want a decent meal with good service. I would imagine that it has a great ocean front view but unfortunately we were unable to see due to the weather. Great fun fact though, if you ever end up here during a rain storm, they have shutters to help keep all of the rain and waves out so you'll stay nice, warm, and most importantly - DRY. read more

3 stars for the piña colada, the calamari, and the location. Rest of the food was meh. Ordered empanadillas (lobster, chicken, and pizza). The lobster tasted super salty and a little off. Others were okay. Calamari were fresh, perfectly cooked. I ordered octopus as my main dish. There was a nice garlic flavor, but it was over cooked and rubbery. Views are very nice as is the beach directly in front. read more

Good food. But slow staff, and flies everywhere! Also parking lot is horrible with pot holes and little to no space.

Mediocre food but a good view and atmosphere. I tried the fish tacos which had more cheese than fish. Come here to drink and relax by the ocean, but don't expect good food read more

The view is fantastic! Despite the reviews we have it a try and was not disappointed on 2 visits. The service was friendly ,attentive and helpful as we didn't know what to order. The fish bites were grouper and it was delicious. The batter was light and the fish was fresh. The server provided us hot sauce that came in a small bottle with a test tube and a warning to only use a little...it was hot but delicious! My husband had the shrimp mufungo and he loved it! It's a heavy dish but tasty. I did a side if beans and rice which was very flavorful. The portions are large, I was full after the fish bites..so definitely share. read more

Me and family of 5 stopped at this place, which we were welcomed we originally wanted a beach view but no table were available. By the time the young lady that took our order a table with the view opened up so we asked to be moved and we were told no due to pendemic manager rule was that I could not be moved. Which made no sense. At which time I threatened to leave she explained to me again that she was blah blah so we left. It's my money What happen to the CUSTOMER who are keeping the little business alive and they take this attitude. THUMBS DOWN!!!! read more

Love the customer service. My friend asked for more tequila and a literally brought over the whole bottle to pour it in her class it was absolutely amazing great customer service. My husband and my friend had the burgers and said they were amazing I had the bacon red chicken I could've done without the bacon and just got the chicken regular but the service was so good that it didn't matter. The view is absolutely amazing too highly recommend oh and did I mention the Mojito was absolutely phenomenal also read more

This was our go to in the evenings to hang and have drinks. Staff was always great and price were very reasonable.

Usually better than this evening. Service was very good and our waiter was very attentive. We had the fish tacos for appetizer and they were the best plate of the meal. The red snapper filet was overcooked and I had carne grits which was mostly fat. My wife had a glass of Pinot Grigio (I also tested) and for sure it was not Pinot Grigio. read more

Amazing views day and night! The food was delicious and very reasonably price! Had the mofongo relleno de Mero, súper yummy! read more

Sat at the bar for 5 minutes before we were greeted by the bartender who just asked what we wanted. I asked for a drink menu and was given a food menu. Ordered two patron drinks with juice and waited 30 minutes to ask for a check and then watched the bartender change the price from 6 to 10 dollars for a patron drink in the computer. $20 for two drinks with less than a shot of patron (we watched her pour them) and slow, not great service? Only good thing here was the music. Definitely won't be back because of the service even though the food smelled good. read more

Sonido del Mar - Literally watched her change the price from $6/drink to $10. I'd understand an upcharge if it was more than a shot of tequila. - Seafood Near Me - Isabela, Puerto Rico

Be prepared, the food takes a LOOOONNGGGGGGG time to get to you. I recommend ordering the moment you sit down

Worst customer service in town. Not US Military friendly establishment. Went as a group and Asked the manager to move us from a table. Manager told us to wait and completely ignored us. Then when we asked the waitress he said no. Completely disregard us during our time in the restaurant and did not greet us, check on us to see how everything was going. Will never return here even if they give us free food! read more

La atención desde que llegamos fue espectacular, la amabilidad y servicio de los meseros a otro nivel! Pasamos un rato super agradable y hasta conversamos con los empleados de los puntos de interés de Isabela y pueblos cercanos. El aperitivo, la comida, las bebidas, todo excelente! Gracias Jonathan, Nico y Lisbeth por su amabilidad, simpatía y excelente servicio. Mucho éxito read more

My first time here and will definitely be back. Good was very good, drinks and the best service. We lucked out and got the best waiter in the place. Service was outstanding. Thanks again. read more

Loved everything about the restaurant, the views from the restaurant are oustanding, great place to eat seafood and have some beers right in front of the sea. The place itself is beautiful with great use of wood tones, great spacious bar, where you can sit and watch the MLB playoffs or a NFL game. The parking lot is not that big, but they have attendants, helping and taking care of security. The service was excellent, our very nice and pleasant waitress was always checking on us, and everything came out on time, the beers were very cold and the food was perfect. Definetly will be visiting again in the future. read more

We were nearby for horseback riding when it started to rain. This place looked pretty popping and had good reviews so we stopped by. It may at first seem like a bar, but it also doubles as a restaurant. The ocean-view is absolutely stunning. It's a great place to watch the sunset. My dining companion and I ordered: lobster with mofongo, red snapper with mofongo, and empanadillas in fish, octopus, lobster, and medley. First of all, the empanadillas made it sound like it was $1 each on the menu. (I didn't doubt it because I've gotten fantastic empanadas in Brooklyn for 0.75cents.) But it's actually $4 each! As for the quality of food itself, all of the seafood were fresh and delicious. The disappointing thing was that there wasn't a lot of seafood. The empanadillas were rather big and satisfying, but the other dishes were not only expensive but mostly mofongo. (We got it because it's a Puerto Rican delicacy, but we both hated it...) Service was slow and at one point there was a bat flying around... I definitely won't return. read more

Food was just ok and service was terrible, rude staff and bad attitude. Waited over an hour for our order. Some ceiling fans don't work and the place was hot like an oven. They wouldn't let us move to a table under a working fan. Don't recommend it. read more

Just went there with my family for lunch. Both entrances were chained, so we had to wait outside under the sun. Employees were busy making drinks and chatting with each other and didn't even bother to acknowledge our presence. We left after about 10 minutes waiting. Worst experience in PR so far. read more

Service was good and my mojito was strong. The food took quite a bit of time when I compare to other places in PR. The mondongo was OK. There is no fresh fish available. This was ok, but I'll definitely go to other places here. read more

I gave it one for the beautiful view and location. Service lacking. Prices high for area. Ignored by staff. Left after long wait. Keep heading down the road. Plenty of great restaurants with same view...great service and food. It was a horrible representation of PRs beautiful culture and people. read more

The view at this restaurant is simply amazing. Great food and prices. They offer a variety of PR dishes, especially seafood. The service was great. The corn stick, appeared to be freshly handmade, so yummy! read more

Horrible service. Food was okay but the waitress are horrific, no manners at all. Food took forever despite or us getting there early with no people. Waitress Juli or whatever had a horrible attitude, no help whatsoever. read more

The mahi mahi and mofongo were fresh, flavorful, and just what the doctor ordered after a day at the beach, but the the real star of the show here during lunchtime was the view. The place is a rustic beach shack type of place but it boasts a giant back window that's directly over the ocean. Obviously those tables are the most coveted and we waited til another party was done to be able to sit there, but it made the meal a million times more enjoyable. It basically felt like I was grubbing on my mofongo on the open sea! read more

Food is great view is better haha. Service was great food was really good and the view is way better to just sit and see the ocean. One thing is going later in the week and around the evening parking is really hard and it's really busy on the weekends. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Jobos that was again referred by a local that frequents Jobos everyday. I tried the Fish Tacos and it was the first time but it was one of the best things I had there along with the burrito and tacos. Make this a stop, on the way, during or after the beach. read more

I ordered chicken nachos and my girlfriend ordered the shrimp with creole sauce and "spider" plantains. The waiter (who was a very friendly guy) came to the table with a plate of nachos announcing that the kitchen had made a mistake and made skirt steak nachos instead of chicken nachos. He said they could remake it, but seriously: when a guy walks up to you with a gigantic plate of already-made nachos, it makes it hard to say "no thanks. Send them back please." I've been a waiter, so I sympathized with him/the situation, and took the skirt steak nachos. Regardless, I was a bit annoyed that I was put in that position. The nachos were good. Not great, but good. EASILY enough for 3-5 people to share as an appetizer. My girlfriend's shrimp in creole sauce had literally 5 pieces of shrimp, which was was pretty surprising considering that the dish cost over $20. However, the side of "spider plantains" was BOMB. We loved them. Super crunchy and delicious. We also ordered the calamari for an appetizer, and it straight up sucked. I don't want to sugar coat it. The ratio of breading to squid was about 5:1. Needless the say, half of that order remained on the plate. The food was nothing to write home about, but I'm giving this place three stars because the server (young guy) was nice, professional, and genuine. Also, the bartender was sweet. They were both overworked that night, and did a good job of holding the fort down. Nice view too! read more

Had the chicken nachos + the chicken mofongo with creole sauce on top. Heads up, the creole sauce is more of a tomato stew, which was not at all what I was expecting. Venue is spacious and has a laid back vibe. Restaurant is steps from Jobos Beach so prepare yourself for breathtaking views. read more

Over an hour wait to be seated , slow to serve food also over an hour. The menu was not specific on ingredients so my part of the order was bacon wrapped when I ordered a stuff chicken stuffed with shrimp. I didn't want bacon so I ordered a hamburger to replace my meal which took 20 mins. Live music & beautiful view but if you can call ahead to reserve then do that. read more

Really good location. Not even mediocre food. Had a steak burrito. Came with fries (?). Limited selection of fish prep. Everything is garlic, butter or creole. Everything. I've gotten much better food from food trucks. read more

I don't know about everyone else but we stopped by last night to meet some friends. We had to search for the waiters. Table was falling apart(literally) they swapped it but placed it near us for someone else to sit on. We ordered coconut shrimp for appetizer. When did we receive it? Never. So finally a waiter came by, told him the shrimp never arrived and to give us our check. My friends complained the food they ordered had no taste. They also said they lacked cooks. No rating. Had to choose one star to post this. read more

This is a review of only the appetizers. The Samitas del Pescado was made with Mahi Mahi and it was GOOOD. The fish was fresh, fluffy and light. Meanwhile, the batter was light and tasty. The Empanadilla del Pescado didn't have much taste to it, but I suspect it was burnt somewhere due to a burnt rubber smell that came from the center of it. The dough itself was done well, but this wasn't nearly as good as the Samitas. With regards to the other dishes we saw our neighbors order, they looked filling. I can't attest to how they tasted, but they made my mouth water. The location was superb - view of the ocean. read more

The food is subpar as well as the service. We were starving after a day rock climbing at the beach and wanted someone filling and delicious. The menu was a bit difficult to understand at first but we went with what we thought would be best. My fiancé and I started off with the chicken empanadas and I wish I would have had more of those! They were so good! The fried cheese was okay but I could only have a few before it became too much. My fiancé got the fish sandwich (it's labeled under burgers). He assumed it'd be grilled but it was fried. His fault for not asking. His fish was very small in comparison to the bread and toppings. The fries and the sauce were good though! I got the mahi mahi, which I also assumed would be grilled, with the rice and beans. My mahi mahi tasted VERY fishy. I had less than a quarter. The fried breading was falling off and was kind of mushy. It just was not very appetizing. The rice and beans however were fantastic. I also had a passion fruit mojito and it was great! It did take forever to get the food. In between apps and the meal, after we ate the apps, we waited about 30 minutes. They were doing a ton of to go orders, I imagine due to Covid, so I'm sure the kitchen had a ton on their plate. I would recommend for a quick empanada and a couple drinks before dinner elsewhere. read more
