We traveled to PR for a quick trip and stayed at an Airbnb 2 minutes away from Terraza Montemar. The staff is amazingly friendly and very welcoming! After a long day, sitting in the air conditioned restaurant and lovely view felt relaxing. We ordered mojitos and Medalla beers are always a must when visiting home. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. The tostones were PERFECTION! Can't wait to be back! read more

Pina Colada - 10/10 Food - 7/10 Service - 7/10 Came here for a bach trip and with a group of guys. The service was okay but passable. Sort of the bare minimum but did enough. Our apps came out super fast but for some reason the food came out way later. Some of the food was slightly cold so maybe they had it sitting out to wait for everything to be ready. I got the mofongo w/red snapper and it wasn't anything amazing. Just food for fuel kind of vibe. The mofongo was a little cold and dry to where I had to douse it with their sauce but taste was okay overall. Don't think I'd come back here but it wasn't terrible. Wished they gave more veggies or some kind of side to justify the price we paid for our dish. Just seeing lettuce and tomato was a little underwhelming. I'd say this was a 3.8/5 read more

Second time we've been here (first time was last year). Even better than the first time. We will be coming back every trip. Food was delicious and reasonable for amount of food you get. read more

Consistently great food, fast and attentive service, fair prices, and a nice view -- this place delivers every time. I've ordered the Can Can pork chop (a tomahawk chop with the pork belly attached) on every visit, and it has never disappointed. Tonight I noticed they offer the pork belly as an appetizer, which opens the door for me to switch up my entrée next time while still getting my favorite part of the dish. They also carry several varieties of Ocean Lab Brewing Company beer, and every one I've tried has been excellent. Overall, it's a reliably good dining experience with quality food and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Service was good. The waitresses were there to greet us immediately. Nice view of the mountains and ocean out of the windows. The place looks like it was recently updated inside. The seafood spiders were seafood piled inside of mashed, fried plantains. The plantains were fried and seasoned well. The seafood was tender and plentiful. The fried shrimp were large and fried well. The rice and beans on the side were so delicious, they could be a meal. The seafood mofongo was saucy and filled with a ton of octopus, shrimp, fish and veggies. Neat place to visit if you're nearby. Didn't even get to dessert as the portions are huge. read more

I have one of the most disappointing culinary experiences today. We order the "Catch of the day" What we got was an old fish that was rotten texture hard not flavor and not fresh. They offer to change but but the second on after this experience wasn't good either. We ending paying and since they are sloppy with the quality of food better go to other place D The read more

What an awesome place!! La comida (food) deliciosa, the staff is friendly,efficient, and inviting. I had the fried snapper, my fam had chicken, mofongo, and empanadas and nothing disappointed!!

Great location on the mountain side with front row to sea view. Service is very attentive and courteous. The fried red snapper was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The sorullitos de MAIZ (for my Chile family side) and the arañitas were crunchy and tasty. In summary, we were a group of seven and were all more than pleased. Price/portion ratio is on the good side. Highly recommend!!! read more

Location just outside of Wyndham Grande Rio Mar with views of the ocean. Street parking only. The food was delicious. Fried Red snapper was delicious, monfongo with red snapper garlic and butter sauce was on point soft with hints of crispy pieces in it, and carne fita for the land lovers was on point my husband who is super picky enjoyed every bite. The desserts did not miss. I enjoyed a piña colada also delicious. Price for the food was on par. No pictures we enjoyed the meal too much. read more

This restaurant accommodated my really large family of 24. The food was delicious and the staff were nice. I really liked the fried fish. Family members liked the monfongo, asopao and the steak. I really enjoyed the coconut mojitos. I just took off a star because the wait for food was extremely long. read more

Would have left a better review but we have been waiting 45+ minutes for our food. Two tables that arrived after us have already been served. Now onto the food (when it finally arrived): calamari as an appetizer; it was good. Husband had the mofungo and he said it was good. I had the red snapper. I don't know what they did to it, but never in my life did I have to cut my fish dinner with a knife. Enough said. read more

Have a drink and take in the view. DO NOT bother spending money on any food. The Mofongo looked like a three day old microwave reheat with frozen broccoli and carrots. My husband ordered the skirt steak which was very salty and marginally smelly. And the waitress we had, tall girl with big glasses, was thoroughly nasty. There is NO ambiance. It was our last night and we thought it would be nice finish to our vacation. I usually try to make the best of a bad situation and look for something positive to say. Yeah, the view, like I said at the start of this review. That's it. That's what the one star is for. read more

I visited this restaurant with my husband because of the good reviews we had seen on yelp. We ordered a lobster, tostones and rice with beans. We waited about one hour for the food to be served. They brought us a half cut lobster and the inside of the lobster did not taste like lobster but more like shredded chicken. I am not sure if the lobster was not cooked properly which made the meat taste and have the same texture as chicken breast, we are still a bit confused about that...another thing I noticed was that the ceiling was infested with roaches which made my experience far worst. I do not recommend this place at all. this is the picture of the lobster read more

pro....The mixed veggies pokura appetizer was to die for.... The cons they sit and watch you eat! Lunch special

Very poor service. I have snapper and mofongo and my friend had chicken. It was $80 and the server was busy but also inept. He would say I'll be right back in the middle of an interchange but he would never come back. I was never offered anything in exchange and was never told that the snapper was exorbitantly priced at $30 for a small fish. The waiter was rude and combative a big guy not too smart Won't go back. It was a shame read more

It was our last night staying in Puerto Rico and our apartment host highly recommended this spot, saying that it is mostly frequented by the locals. The place is very low-key and has great vibe and view. Our group had a couple rounds of delicious pina coladas and mojitos. I wanted to try something local, so I went with seafood mofongo which was yummy! My friends went with more traditional dishes. Overall, awesome place! Make sure to check it out when nearby! read more

Dope little spot tucked in the mountains, with an amazing view of the coast. Cool place to kick back with someone you enjoy chillin with.... and just admire and take in the scene. The valley/view has a very "Costa Rica" feel to it. Food was really good. Had the conch appetizer to start, and then we had the fresh snapper and a crab creole-like dish; all of which were super bomb. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area and looking for good food and a GREAT view. read more

Wow!!!!!!! We had grilled lobster 3.5 lbs for two and my mouth is watering to bad back in GA we don't have anything like this. Caribbean lobster is sweet juicy and grilled to perfection. We had two sides with our meal rice and red beans delicious and tostones were perfect combination. Everything is fresh and our waiter was really nice and always wanting to make sure we were doing ok. All I can say forget Richies this is the place to go and eat. If I could give 10 starts I would, to bad we just found this place after our 3rd trip to Puerto Rico. Again you must try this place, the menu is affordable and seems most locals come and eat. So you know this is the place to come eat. Jean Carlos is the waiter and he is sweet and very helpful and answers all your questions. . Thank you guys. We loved everything about this place!! read more

The waitress doens't know any english, so be prepared to speak spanish, or gesture really well. The view at this restaurant really cannot be beat. You have the view of the Atlantic Ocean, and this restaurant is on a hill which overlooks the Wyndham Rio Grande resort... I got the langosta (see a pattern here?) and it was cooked in a sauce that you choose, and I choose butter. It came cooked with some onions and with a side of mofongo! Yum. She said it was fresh, but I don't know if she meant fresh as in she just killed it (probably not.) When we were asking how big the steaks were, she brought out a piece to show us, that was uncooked, and it was frozen, so know that the steaks are frozen and not fresh! My partner ordered seafood mofongo, which was cooked in garlic, and had savory pieces of fish, shrimp, lobster, and conch! Conch is delicious btw! Prices here were pretty pricey, but really, the view is spectacular! read more

It was our first stop after an all day flight, and we were hungry enough to settle for anything. I was tenative about the restaurant, as there was nothing but winding street parking, and we were the only dinner guests at 5:30 p.m. But the chatty host from Florida quickly put us at ease. Nothing too fancy, just a Puerto Rican menu focusing on mofongos stuffed with local seafoods: Conch, Octopus, shrimp, or lobster. Everything was well-prepared, although our American pallates were not used to the heavy use of conch and octopus (picture a softball size serving of conch ceviche). The empanadilla sampler was a good variety of fillings from carne to guava. The flank steak was a little tough/flavorless. Of all the entrees at our table, my favorite was the breaded grouper. We promised our friendly server that we would definitely come back, but alas - the week was too short. read more

Close To the Wyndham Grand resort in Rio Grande, this is a nice alternative to the outlets offered at the hotel. The restaurant overlooks the ocean and has a fantastic view. They do not offer outdoor seating but during the day they keep the windows open so you can enjoy the fresh ocean air. In the evening when the Mosquitos come out to play, they close the windows and crank the a/c. All the servers were extremely friendly. Upon our arrival with a reservation made on a local restaurant guide "Sal" we were given corn fritters as an appetizer on the house. I ordered the Sangria which was ok but mostly tasted like juice to me. We ordered 3 lobster tails that ended up being a total of $125. I ordered a red snapper filet, but I should've listened to the servers advice against it. It was not a fresh filet. He suggested the whole red snapper (house specialty) but after seeing the giant dish on the table next to us, I decided to order the smaller portion. I ordered it "al ajillo" but when the dish was brought out to me it lacked in flavor. The lobster was very good, however, not as fresh as described. For dessert they offered lots of homemade flans and tres leches. They also had casquitos de guayaba which I haven't seen in ages. Overall a very nice experience but the food wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be. Would definitely come back but would order something else. read more

This place was recommended to us by some locals we met the other night, so we decided to give it a try. My husband and and I got fish and my kids got steak.....the fish was ok, but one of the steaks came out gray. And that was their second attempt (the first time it was over cooked). So that got sent back as well, with no replacements requested. Plus, I understand that where there aren't any screens on the windows and doors that are open, there will be a few bugs. But there were so many bugs that flew in our food, in our drinks, in our hair, on the table......no thank you. The whole dinner was not a good experience for us. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would!!! We visit PR every year and we always come to eat at Montemar, multiple time during our trip! We explore other restaurants but we always come back to Montemar. Nothing compares to the beautiful view, the cleanliness, how fresh and tasty the food is, and how incredibly nice the staff is. And during COVID times now they check temperatures before entering and give you hand sanitizer and they are quick with take out orders. Definitely recommend to anybody in Rio Grande area. (To anyone second guessing... don't go to Richies, it's over priced and not as good) read more

The food was OK; lobster meat is obviously frozen before cooked. Point is, there were only three tables of customers and we waited for over an hour for the food, which I don't believe is that hard to prepare. OK maybe because we went there at night and they don't have enough chefs. I finished my fruit punch and asked for some ice water; they brought me a bottle of water and charged me 1.6$ Well well well, once again I am fooled by others' yelp reviews. read more
