Casual dockside atmosphere. Waitstaff was casual, unassuming, and cool. Food was amazing. Cassava soup was great. Tuna tartar and turnover apps were delish. Filet great, though came out a little rarer than I ordered. Island mash dense but delish. Shrimp great. Tuna Lamb and chicken looked good and got good reviews. Beautiful presentation. read more

We got their early (before opening) and they let us in, which was really nice and offered us beer. The setting was very nice and we enjoyed that. The bugs were KILLER...both house flies and Mosquitos, but we were okay with that too because there is only so much you can control in that arena. (In general the bugs were killer everywhere we went this week). The three ranking was because the food was just okay. The menu sounded amazing and we ordered two sides and 4 tapas. Everything seemed to lack basic seasoning. We ordered the octopus salad (octopus cooked really well and tender but not a ton of flavor), the grouper bites (over cooked) the sausage dish (by far the best dish!! We all thought that was extremely tasty), the artichoke salad (kind of bland), the plantains (the sauce was tasty on top but there wasn't a ton of it and then the plantains were not seasoned at all but they were cooked well) and the curries couscous which was tasty but a little overlooked for my liking. There was a ton of waitstaff there and they all looked a little confused. Not sure if they were all new and training or not. They were super nice but they looked a tad confused. Net, we had an enjoyable night, but not a place we would repeat on our trip. We might consider it on a future trip in case they simply had an off night. We did not try dessert. It was all brought over from the big Island which, I guess if it isn't your speciality then that is the way to go, but we were looking to try as local as possible. They could be amazing though for all we know. read more

It was fantastic! Food, service and atmosphere were off the charts. Beautiful place, fresh food and great service! Best food we've had since we made to the islands. Soey (sp) was a great server. Highly recommend! Culerba is a beautiful island! What a blessing. read more

If you have no reservations don't even try coming here. Host was very rude and didn't even try finding a little spot for my husband and I. She didn't even try telling us that we could wait for a table to open up. read more

Dropped in after Mamacita's informed us that we could not be seated as they were closing. Turns out that Susie's could, and was all that. Ordered the yucca soup, spring rolls, and rice with beans, followed that up with the oreo cheesecake. Not sure if is was just the pleasantness of eating under the open sky, or that the food was just that good, but it definitely left a good memorable impression on our dining experience in Culebra, and yes one of the best. read more

A favorite of our family for years. Never had a bad meal there! Call ahead- she even accepts texts!

Best meal in Culebra. Best ambience, great service, excellent food - maybe top we had in all PR.

Best lobster I have ever had. I discovered this gem of a restaurant on my third trip to Culebra. It is now my number one choice. The staff is friendly and kind. The food is tasty with an artful presentation. The environment is relaxed and pleasant. read more

Great place. Good atmosphere. Texted he number for a reservation and questions about the menu. Got a quick response. We are vegetarian including kids and the food was great for all. Would highly recommend. read more

We had a wonderful meal there last week during our visit to Culebra. The food was excellent - as good as the fresh fish is here, Susie does even more wonderful things with it. The pork egg rolls were a wonderful starter. The Caipirinhas from the bar left my head spinning in a good way. Don't miss this spot if you are spending a few days on Culebra. read more

Place went down hill. Food was amazing before. Service was awesome. Not sure what happened. Bar tender was rude. Food was terrible. Stick with dinghy dock. They are consistent and good. read more

We stayed in Culebra 5 nights and sampled a good majority of the places in town. This was easily the best place to eat. Very unassuming from a distance, but dont judge a book by its cover. Try their sauted calamari! We sat at the bar and the drinks were delish! So were the entrees. The key lime pie was an amazing finish. We chatted up Susie and her husband gave us a ride back to our hotel! Such nice people... read more

We had Susie's as our last dinner on the island, and it did not disappoint. The prices are high (typical for touristy spots). We had the mahi mahi with beans, rice, and plantains. The plantains were fried to death, but still good. Delicious fish! read more

5 star Culebra dining. Culebra has it's own rating system, but even in mainland US, I would give it 4 stars. The prices were fine - the same as our underwhelming meal at Shipwreck and Susie's was so much better! The presentation is great and the portions are nice. Susie came out and talked to some of the guests, she clearly has a passion for food and it shows. The ahi dish with root vegetable mash was excellent. The lamb chops were also good. The mojitos were perfect, not too sweet. We had great service. Really, the only complaint is that I was too full to try something from the dessert menu. Island dining can be hit and miss and we were really pleased with Susie's. read more

Absolutely worth your time. Certainly the best food on Culebra. My sautéed shrimp were wonderful and they had a good wine list. This place isn't as "magical" to me as El Quenepo on Vieques, but it's still exciting that you can have food this good on an island this small. read more

Based on our experiences with restaurants being closed we tried several times to call, kept getting a message that their phone was temporarily disconnected (my husband said he didn't want to eat at a place that couldn't pay their phone bill) but based on the great reviews, I stopped by after hitting the grocery store and made a reservation in person. Good thing to do, it was packed. The food was definitely good, but I wouldn't say great. I got the shrimp with sichuan sauce and wasabi. My husband and daughter both got the tuna and loved it. Service was fine, our experience with any of the restaurants we went to on Culebra was not the typical slow disappearing act of other islands, but we tend to linger so slow service isn't usually a problem. Definitely a place to try while on Culebra but do call for reservations. read more

I would have given it 5 stars. Please read ALL of this before judging. DO NOT drink the tap water. I repeat, DO NOT drink the tap water. After my system purged itself from the water, our waitress tells me "Some people have problems with the tap water..." And only then do I realize that the staff is drinking from bottles.... No good... Other than the poisonous water, this place is AMAZING. We had red Sangria, Caesar salad, skirt steak with island mash, rice and beans, chocolate cake, and coffee. The Sangria was really good, it was not overly sweet, and was well made. The Caesar salad was VERY good, they had very thin slices of what seemed to be potato, crispy and delicious. The main course was AWESOME, we asked for the steak to be done medium well and it was juicy on the inside, grilled a little crispy on the outside, seasoned to perfection. The sauces complimented the steak well. The island mash, a mix of four different tropical roots, was mixed just right, blended so well that you could actually feel the texture of some of the roots, but a yummy combining of all the flavors. The chocolate cake needs its own paragraph. This cake is probably one of the desserts that will be served in heaven. The cake itself was crumbly, not at all dry, and the frosting was a SMOOTH RICH example of what euphoria tastes like. CHOCOLATE LOVERS BEWARE: YOU NEED TO TRY THIS. After dinner, we ordered an espresso and a coffee with milk and sugar. I have never had a REAL espresso before, so when my bf received his, I was in visible shock. What I perceived to be a TINY spilling of coffee into what seemed to be a minuscule coffee cup is what my bf informed me to be an espresso. My coffee & milk was average size, if you want a Venti, do not come here. ;) Price : typical of finer dining. We paid around $100 (tip included). The waitress was attentive, we were greeted and seated promptly, and did not wait before being served, even though it was Valentine's Day. Reserve early, and confirm. read more

See all

Don't go there! We went there in Christmas week. Poor service. Poor menu. Disappointed...

This restaurant is located in a large, indoor outdoor space that generates a relaxing and even romantic atmosphere. My husband and I frequented this place while on the island, eager to try as much of the menu as we could. We particularly loved the Yuca soup, island mash and the lamb chop entree. Hands down our favorite dinner spot in Culebra! read more

Great service and great food! The Mahi Mahi was ok, but the tuna was amazing! The appetizers as good as well! It has a nice, cozy, quiet environment and it's very friendly! I would totally recommend. read more

The fried red snapper is great! Crispy in the outside, juicy in the inside. Highly recommend!

Yummy food prepared properly, really nice ambience too. Yucca soup is outstanding, Yelp writers are on spot with that. But, there is always a but, where is the local vibe? Salmon, NY strip, we had shrimp (frozen) and Mahi (frozen) with mash and plantain cakes...really good food though. Enjoyed the waitstaff and bar, a little pricey, but everything on the island seems to be pricey for food...the best fine dining on the island for sure. Go and enjoy. read more

Best food in culebra, bar none. I had the chicken breast with asiago and sundried tomato sauce. My husband had the mahi mahi and we both cleaned our plates. The portion sizes were right on point. I was satisfied. read more

Top class from the very moment I called them to request a booking until the end. Service was immediately on hand every time, with sublime recommendations on what to eat and drink!! A wonderful romantic dinner with my girlfriend that was the perfect way to end our stay in Culebra! read more

The worse experience during the memorial weekend. Extremely acid food in addition to extremely slow service (2 hours waiting). So many cats walking around tables!!! read more

Awesome food - always consistant! Beautiful presentation and it tastes even better than it looks! If they have lobster...don't miss it! Great selection of meat, chicken, and seafood entrees appeal to every one in your party. Great location just outside of town and more quiet than most places. Excellent drink menu as well! read more

Food was good. Not great but good. Service by the bartender was great. Very attentive. Servers however seemed dis shoveled. You will find this to be the coziest of any restaurants in town. No blinding hospital right lights here. Nice and dim patio. I will say that it still, somehow doesn't justify NYC style prices!!! read more

Very nice place nice ambience. The servers are very friendly and welcoming. The quality of the food is good. however we found the cats a little disturbing specially when they jump on the table read more

Went with our three kids without reservations. They only had an outside table and the night was windy and cool. I asked about moving in doors and when a table opened up they promptly moved us.They were extremely accommodating and friendly at every turn and request. Food was very good. We had a filet mignon and dorado. Kids had salads and pork rolls. All good and ample. read more

My word. Susie has been to culinary school. Beautifully prepared and plated. Super fresh and really interesting sauces. Best food in Culebra without question. read more

Susie's restaurant is one of the gems of the Isle of Culebra off the coast of Puerto Rico. I went to Susie's on busy Wednesday evening. It is located on a canal with seats both inside and outside. Boats and Dinghy's from the bigger boats anchored in the harbor regularly tie up to grab a bite to eat. The food is really top notch. The snapper was absolutely delicious, white and flakey and the couple next to me raved about their salmon. The staff is very friendly and efficient. And if you don't feel like eating, you can just belly up to the bar for a margarita or a Bushwacker, a local specialty. Wilma the bartender was great. I got a chance to speak to Susie herself as things were winding down and she took a breather for a glass of wine at the bar. She is the owner and chef. She told me all the local fish on the menu is fresh. The fishermen actually pull up to her dock during the day and she buys what she needs. I definitely recommend Susie's to anyone visiting Culebra, they had the best food and atomosphere that I found on the island. I will be back soon. A couple notes, like most of the restaurants on the Island, Susie's is open only Wednesday thru Sunday and only 6pm to about 10 or 11pm. read more

My family and I went to dinner and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the service was 5 Stars. We started with the prosciutto and Manchego cheese plate and egg rolls...yummy! The lamb chops appetizer with couscous and the cream of yucca soup were phenomenal. The drinks were amazing! We had a local fruit colada with a rum floater...perfect! This is our favorite spot here. We Strayed last night to try El Edin which was recommended to us. So bummed we did that...but we jetted back to Susie's for dessert and drinks and were transported to bliss within seconds. Their warm greeting at the door and knowing exactly what drink we wanted from the night before was like we have been coming here for years. 2 coladas later and the awesome chocolate cake helped to erase the unfortunate experience at EL Edin. So if your looking for amazing ambiance, fantastic food, and great service I recommend coming here for sure! It blows El Edin out of the water! read more

We couldn't get reservation at the EL Eden so we came here hoping to get some good quality food. I ordered the whole fried snapper and piña colada. It was quite disappointing. The snapper was deep fried by which I mean overcooked. Also it's very salty. The drink was okay. But if you've had the same drink at San Juan, you know this is not the same taste. The service was good though. They were very friendly and attentive. Maybe this restaurant is not for me. I was really hoping to get some good quality seafood. ;( read more

Over rated food here but nice atmosphere. We visited a few weeks ago and maybe we expected too much based on some of the other reviews. We had better dinners elsewhere on the island, and were disappointed. Simple as that. read more

Celebrated parents 50th wedding anniversary with our party of 16. Excellent service, food and dessert! We had about 15lbs of the best lobster, snapper, filet mignon and chicken. Sangria was great and dessert was shared between us all. Key lime Pie, carrot cake, chocolate cake and cheese cake all delicious! Amazing restaurant with a great staff AND owner! Definitely a must while in Culebra! read more

Amazing lobster. It was a bit pricey but considering it was on a tiny island, it was great!!

I was visiting Culebra with friends and this place was one of the few open on a sunday night! Environment was good! The restaurant has a rustic alike decoration. The food was great but the wait time was longer that what i would expect for the price. Definetely will come back but will make reservations. read more
