Susie's was a lovely dinner with a casual but beautiful open air garden/patio setting. We loved the ambiance; especially the sweet cats that would wander around very politely asking for pets! The owner apparently feeds a good number of street cats and we loved the additional company. Our waitress (Heather maybe?) was incredible, giving us menu suggestions as well as tips for our visit to Culebritas we had planned for the next day. She was super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her and learning a little of the history of the restaurant. The food was mostly amazing- we loved the escargot, it was a different preparation than I've had before with a sort of buttery herby sauce. Also loved the sides, the beans and rice were top notch and the mixed mash was very fun and interesting though a little dry without sauce- delicious with some sauce from other dishes. I heard very good things about the chicken and shrimp; unfortunately one star off as my husband and I bought got the Mahi-mahi and it was rather chewy and tough. The flavor was there but didn't really enjoy the texture. I would 100% go back and get the shrimp though! read more

Susies is the best known restaurant on Culebra Island. They usually open on Thanksgiving but this year decided to open in October. Great idea? Wait to find out... We started with a bottle of wine similar to a Chardonnay. But let's talk food. I ordered the escargot. If you know anything about me it's that I absolutely love escargot. I will order them any where I can. I have tried them everywhere from NY to Ca and even Spain and Italy. Susies hands down wins in this category. The butter garlic combination is amazingly delicious. And they don't skimp on the escargot. There's plenty of them unlike other places that count them. The service at Susie's? As friendly and as personable as you want. Every one is happy and pleasant but then again you live on the best island that has the #3 best beach (Flamenco). I had the machi machi. Excellent choice! Plus the rice and beans which I grew up on, however they did not make them with sofrito which is really the secret ingredient to making them. But still delicious nonetheless. Over all, I'll continue to visit Susies each day every time I'm here. Since it was my birthday we ordered the Carmel cheese cake to go. Because some things need to be eaten in private. Shhh.... read more

This is the upscale restaurant on Culebra. If you're looking for a nice dinner with great food, service and ambiance, this is your place. The wine list is focused on Spanish wines. They have a full bar as well. Service is knowledgeable and very friendly. Seating is limited so you need to make reservations. The Caesar salad is fabulous. Dressing tastes homemade and isn't overwhelming on the crisp romaine. Garnished with shaved parm and tomatoes. The medium is a generous portion, enough to share. I recommend the shrimp in garlic butter. Cooked perfectly. Sweet, tender and so tasty. The gardens are well tended and add a bit of romance and privacy to the restaurant. We understand they're experimenting with opening in October and I hope they're able to justify it bc there is no other choice on the island like Susie's. read more

Unless you like being insulted by VERY RUDE service, have NASTY WATER LEAKING INTO YOUR FOOD, the waitresses to literary argue and yell at you and on top of that pay $70 per meal for below average food, stay AWAY! Culebra island is a beautiful place and you deserve bettee than this on your vacation! First off, we arrive on time for our reservation, but they decide to move us from our table indoor yo a corner table outside where the lights are out. okay no problem. then, when they taking our order I asked for a mojito, the says they don't have mint, I asked for a moscow mule she says they can't make that, I asked what are the drink options? She starts going off on me how I SHOULD READ THE MENU... not a big deal I ordered wine, maybe she is having a bad day. Then our food comes, and as they are giving it away they realized they messed up our sides, so what did they do? they started ARGUING with us for ORDERING WRONG! they made a huge deal out of it took our dishes back, even though we said it's okay not a big deal they insisted to take everything back and bring it again, with yet wrong side orders at this point food is cold we didn't say anything because we have been waiting 45 min! Then, it started to rain! Pouring down on our entire table. they have these curtains that are not pulled down, we go ask if they can a lower the curtains, drenched in water with our entire food is ruined, what do they say? NO!!!! refuse to help us because they are busy!!! so one of the customers starts grabbing the hook and lowering curtains for everyone and they got mad at the customer for touching it... At this point our food is COLD AND WET and drinks RUINED, you would think running a business on an island these idiots be prepared. they finally show up, offer to bring us paper towels. and they never do! finally they bring the check realizing they didn't even give us paper towels telling us "they are out of napkins and we should go to bathroom grab paper towels"..... and they had the audacity to ask if we wanted any desserts to order to go? I have travelled to over 15 countries and never experienced any restaurant this bad. read more

Susie's Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

Unbelievably Rude Staff, terrible food, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! The food was overpriced and yet terrible quality, you would think getting a local fish wouldn't be frozen in the middle right? the real disaster was the rude staff. You would think running a restaurant in an island you be ready for the rain right? It started to rain and we are seated drirectly under it with water getting all over our food.They didn't close the blinds because they were "too busy" even when we asked multiple times ended up leaving our table standing to the side, so our entire meal and drinks were ruined. Instead of apologizing, they said they can give us paper towels, which they never did and when we asked for the third time they told us to take it from the bathroom. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like an inconvenience. The hostess was cold, the waiter was openly rude, and any basic request was met with eye rolls and attitude. When I asked about the menu, I was literally told to "just read it." To top it off, the check was slammed on the table without a word, with gratuity added AFTER TAX which I'm not even sure legal. Worst dining experience ever--avoid this place like the plague. read more

5 stars without hesitation. We went to the restaurant with normal expectations, but can safely say one of the best meals I've had. The servers were also very nice and friendly. We had the most delicious conch fritters and salad. Conch fritters were full of bacalao, and the salad was a simple ceases but also delicious. The food was also very fresh and flavorful! I can't wait until my next time on the island so I can come back. Also, call in advance to make a reservation. read more

Susie's Restaurant - Reservation only restaurant. Very nice cute restaurant! - Latin American Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

Kudos to the team at Susie's for creating the most memorable dining experience in Culebra, hell, I'd even go so far as to say Puerto Rico as a whole. As many of you know and if you're planning a trip to Culebra will soon find out, dining options are extremely limited on the island, and some definitely more, how would I put it, genuinely authentic to Puerto Rico cuisine than others. Susie and her husband Jacinto created something that truly elevates what island cuisine can be, and serves it up with incredible flair. But what really puts Susie's over the edge is the five-star service which, as a hospitality professional myself, is something very hard to come by on the MAINLAND, let alone on an island the size of Culebra. But they managed to find and maintain such passionate and dedicated staff that put this experience to the top of my list during my short two-day sprint around the island. Special shout out to Heidi whose amazing story of moving from the mainland to start fresh in Culebra is inspiring, as well as the entire service team from the 29th who helped make my final dinner on the island one for the books. The menu changes regularly depending on the freshest meat and fish available, so I strongly encourage doing what I did and order the specials of the day. See the below pictures for my delicious and beautifully presented meal. The icing on the cake was a Verdejo that was out of this world and very reasonably priced (I love the focus on Spanish wines considering the history of the island and PR as a whole.) From the amazing value for the experience I had to the service and the incredible ambiance of the Al Fresco dining area, if you come to Culebra without having at least one dinner at Susie's, you're truly missing one of the island's best gems. read more

Excelente comida y muy buen servicio acompañado de una lugar acogedor. De los platos favoritos están las chuletas de cordero, atún, pez espada. De los aperitivos favoritos son los buñuelos de bacalao y el hummus de habichuelas negras. Buena música en una terraza abierta amplia, techada rodeada de plantas y flores hermosas. Es el restaurante favorito de mi esposo y para mi!!! read more

Top restaurant in Culebra for sure! So happy our Airbnb hosts recommended it since it was closed due to COVID the first two times we were in Culebra. From the moment you walk in, it has such great, warm, welcoming vibes. Yoga style music, cats everywhere, friendly servers. First we got a bottle of red which was killer and then the food was to die for. You never know what you're going to get in Culebra and I was extremely impressed. We started with the tuna tatake (which was a huge portion), I got the shrimp, and my boyfriend got the filet. All equally amazing. There is no view so recommend sunset elsewhere and I actually loved the vibes here when it was dark. Great date night spot too! I would say as far as nicer restaurants / quality go this is the best in Culebra. Zacos for more casual. read more

Nice little restaurant in Culebra. Great for seafood. Excellent service and food quality. A must if you visit or stay in Culebra.

Ambience Rating 5: Open terrace local Caribbean setting with fans and interior patio. Very spacious. Service Rating 5: Attentive and knowledgeable Food Rating 5: Vegan options available. Ordered the cous cous with vegetables and it was exceptional. Susie was receptive to trying vegan options but she always has something on the menu. Good for groups! read more

This place is amazing!! My boyfriend and I went out to eat two times during our Culebra vacation, and I'm so happy this was one of the places we visited. It truly felt like a family run establishment. The service was fantastic. They treated you like you were part of their family, and that was so cool. The food was simply delicious and felt oh so authentic. My boyfriend and I both got specials: the grouper and the grilled lobster. The grouper, while a little intimidating at first, was prepared excellently. So tender and flavorful. The same could be said about the lobster. Both entrees came with island mash, which was a little heavier and sweeter than mashed potatoes. Can't go wrong with carbs. Oh and the ambiance! Lovely and quite romantic on the patio, if you can secure a spot there. read more

Amazing amazing amazing!!! The food hear tastes like the chef's love placed on a plate. The seafood, traditional Puerto Rican dishes, and the sauces added on top. BoOoOoM!! An explosion (for lack of better word) in my mouth! I'm not a shrimp eater type of person, but I tasted one from my brother plate "Shrimp Tempura with the Ponzu Sauce" WOW! Then I stole another shrimp from my sisters plate "Shrimp with garlic/ajalio sauce". ALSO good! And then The tostones with that sauce, also tasty! I had the churrasco (skirt steak) and rice with beans. (Traditional Puerto Rican) and enjoyed it very much. I've had better but, I've been lucky enough to eat the best skirt steak in Argentina. So, I want compared. Here is Good Enough! Red Rum punches (Don Q Rum) were my drinks and sweet enough to go with the salty tostones. I was just completely satisfied. Let me put it this way, I ate here about a year ago and remember this night. I remember the food did take a while. The restaurant was full but no wait line, although I saw that the kitchen is really really small. Only 2 maybe 3 chefs at a time. So it's understandable. Tips: call to check if they are open and availability. As well as order appetizers as the food might take a while.... Or just keep drinking. Thanks Susie! See you soon around New Years! read more

Suzie's restaurant was delicious! The prices are bit steep, but the food is well worth it. You get fine cuisine. We had the Shrimp Tempura with the Island Mash as an appetizer, and it was delicious. As our main course, we had the Angus New York steak (medium) with rice & beans, and the meat and seasoning was to perfection. No need to add anything to the meat. We also had the sesame tuna with kimchi and tostones, and that was really delicious too. We highly recommend this place if you want a beautiful romantic setting, or simply have a wonderful dinner with family or friends. However, make sure to make a reservation, especially if you have a large party. We just showed up, but they were almost all reserved. Buen provecho! read more

By far the best dining available on Culebra we have experienced. Beautiful open air layout, garden decor, kind and friendly service and carefully prepared fresh dishes. We received very generous portions of fresh fish including snapper and dorado (mahi) that we couldn't finish even though every bite was lovely. Make a reservation before you go to ensure you get a nice spot in the garden. read more

Wow! By the look of this island we didn't expect to have a 5 star meal but we did at Susie's! Chorizo and cheese appetizer was delicious, ahi tuna with island mash was wonderful and BF said the filet was one of the best steaks he's ever had. Took some carrot cake and chocolate cake back to our room and they lasted us 2 days! Both were excellent. read more

Susie's is fantastic. I wish I could give them 6 stars. The food is fresh and wonderful. I recommend the white sangria. Great service and delicious food. Definitely worth the price. read more

Romantic spot, amazing food, friendly and service-oriented staff... What's not to love?!?! Visited the restaurant while honeymooning in Culebra with my new hubby, and completely fell in love with the place! Susie's was low on wines by the glass, so I was forced to have a red sangria. Well, LUCKY ME!!! Sangria was spot on! Not too sweet, not too juicy... Just perfect! The food was also delish; we ordered codfish fritters & a beurre blanc mahi. Ooooof, both were heavenly! We finished off with a simple, but classic and big-sized carrot cake. If you are foodie, this place is a MUST!!! read more

I wanted to like this place due to the kind words on Yelp. It was middle of the road. The service was outstanding, we got our food fast... But the food was *eh*. My tuna was good, my bf's *rare* skirt steak was brought to him ranged from medium to well...it was charred on the outside. The masked potatoes were to for for though. Yummy! I thought it was a bit pricey for what we got. I don't mind paying for good food, but this was too *eh* for me. I'll go back to Coconut Grill next time read more

This please was amazing!! The lobster was so fresh and the service outstanding. I don't even think of taking a picture of my food, that is how good it was. I am an Island local and recommend this place. read more

Menu said the Lobster tail was 2.5 to 3 lbs, but when served it was not as big as the pictures and it sure wasn't 2.5 lbs. The bartender didn't really do a good job with our drinks, we ended up returning it. Overall the food was ok, nothing special; a bit pricy. read more

Not sure why this place has such high reviews. Because it's the only upscale restaurant on Culebra? Don't waste your money for average food when there are delicious places at half the cost! They forgot our salad, so we went straight to entree. The excuse was, "it's a crazy night." But that doesn't explain the rock hard pile of "island mash" that was inedible with woody fibers you could not chew. So, basically all I had was meat. They offered desserts, but we decided a spoonful of Nutella would be better than anything they could serve. We watched from the bar as everyone unraveled once the sangria was gone. This place is not worth the hype or the wait. Go to the food truck down the road and learn from our mistake. read more

We first visited Susie's in July of 2014, and enjoyed it so much that we chose to fly from New York to have a wedding on Culebra and reception dinner at Susie's. Susie was very helpful and responsive with planning from a long distance. During the reception, you could see she went above and beyond to make it an exceptional experience. The dinner, staff, and ambiance were fantastic. I couldn't pick a better venue, and had many compliments from our 50 guests. We will definitely return anytime we are nearby. Thanks Susie!! Also, the earlier 1 star review makes me sad. When you look at other reviews done by this individual, they are similar. In 2015 all reviews were 1 star except a coffee and car shop. Better luck in 2016.... read more

OMG was this place amazing! I still dream about that lobster and conch salad we had. It was freakin DELICOUS! The lobster was enormous, and we only ordered the quarter lobster because they didn't have any bigger. It was perfect for 2 people. We also had the conch salad. I've never had conch before then, and now, I'm a huge fan of conch! When I go back to Culebra, because I WILL be back to this beautiful island, I'm coming to eat here again. read more

We ate here twice on our trip. It is one of the few places open on Sunday and Monday nights. We had the sangria, which was nice and refreshing. Most of the restaurant is open air, so you can take in the fresh air. I had the special (filet mignon) cooked perfectly to temp with a great presentation. My wife had the jumbo shrimp and loved them. Service was very attentive. Our second visit we had the snapper which was delicious. A great place to relax and enjoy the night. read more

Food is eclectic and well prepared. Steak to several fish and seafood dishes to Indian to hummus ... Rotating daily specials. Small but reasonable wine list and bar. Closest thing to a nice and quiet restaurant on little Culebra. Good place for family or a nice date night. Far less noisy and "wild" than the Dingy Dock, and quieter and more private and spacious than Mamacitas. Covered outdoor eating area, where lighting could be better to improve the ambiance. Ample enough parking across the street. If I was a local, I'm sure I'd frequent 2-3 times a month. Four stars is the highest I've rated anything on this little and changing island that I still love. I'm here for the snorkeling, not the food ;). read more

Good food, prompt service, limited drink option. But the starter salmon tartar with caviar is great both its service and taste. You must try it. Caesar salad was also very fresh and tasty. It is not easy to get a salad with frwah vegetables is difficult on the island. So id you want sone fresh vegetables try caesar salad as the side dish to your entree. If you ask they change the side dish with salad:) We will definetly come again... read more
