    When visiting Puerto Rico, you definitely need to go to the Kioscos in Luquillo. It's a very long row of nearly 60 family-owned businesses selling food, drinks, and souvenirs! Best part is right behind the row of kiosks is the beach! It's so pretty. While walking through, we could smell the Pinchios cooking at Terruño, so we had to get some! We ordered the chicken pinchio and a side of rice and beans! It was very tasty, and we were able to sit and enjoy the ocean view right in front of us.

    It was a last minute stop on our way back to hotel!it was almost closing time but the best decision and the staff was welcoming! Such delicious food! We had the calamari which was so good! We had the fried plantain stuffed spicy crab. And plantain stuff chicken breast wrapped in bacon and it was so good! My husband ate most of that but he loved it. Such good authentic food! Best stop of the trip so far. The atmosphere was fun and family friendly! They had bongo drums out and a few kids played by them, it was fun to watch. The waitress was so awesome! She gave us all the yummy suggestion and we finished our meal off with tres leche which was the perfect finish to a good meal! Def recommend trying this while in Puerto Rico!

    Bacalaito

    Came here for a bite. Had the bacalaitos which were crunchy and flavorful. We also had the longanizas which were deep fried and looked like pork chop chunks. Tasted good but not the way I usually like them which is on the grill. Had an octopus salad that had a lot of octopus but not enough olive oil so it just tasted blah. The mojitos were ok. Couldn't understand the $8.00 mojito which was perfectly priced but $6.00 for grapefruit juice with no alcohol..... not cool. The staff was very nice and the place had live music so the ambiance made up for the meal. I will definitely come back and try a different meal.

    Visited Luquillo last week and had to leave a review! We stopped here because everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and when we walked in there was a guy playing live (and he was amazing). So the vibes were lively and relaxing. Then we ordered a few things to try among four of us, and we LOVED everything we ordered. Would highly recommend: (1) the tostones filled with spicy crab, (2) bacalaitos, (3) mofongo filled with shrimp, (4) piononitos. I will say, when we asked our server what is the one item we should try, she immediately suggested the Piononitos and she was right. We ate too quickly so didn't take any pictures but I wish we could have eaten here again!

    I've been back a few more times and will continue to come back. Terruño has proven to be consistent. Over the weekend we returned with some colleagues after a fun office outing at Las Tinajas in Fajardo. This time I went with the grouper ceviche and my wife the coconut rice with grouper. The ceviche was prepared with some passion fruit which was a nice unique touch. I ordered it with mofongo but I think I would have preferred to get it with tostones so I could place the pieces of fish on the tostones. The coconut rice with grouper was excellent. I'd recommend both. I also recommend the arañitas. The order comes with three big crunchy arañitas than can be cut into smaller pieces and shared. Perfect as an appetizer or a side. I know I should try the other restaurants at the Luquillo Kioskos to compare, but it's hard when this place is so good.

    My boyfriend and I stopped by on our way to Las Croabas, and overall we enjoyed our meal. The place was pretty catered to tourists as it is off a big beach in Luquillo, and had many Puerto Rican classics. We shared a fish dish and the chicken mofongo. The fish was okay, but the highlight was the chicken smothered in garlic sauce. I personally found the mofongo to be a little tougher than preferred, but the chicken was so tender and the sauce super flavorful. Everything was pretty pricey, but you did get a large portion. I recommend checking this place out if you are in the area for a beach day!

    Beautiful beach front restaurant. Reasonable prices and big portions. My friends and I shared 4 different dishes. We had the crispy rabbit, stuffed plantains with shrimp with steak, spicy crab on plantains, grilled chicken and salad. Friendly service, and quick. We liked all the food and we had leftover.

    Fried cheese with guava sauce - delicious

    Tried Terruño today and had a mixed experience overall. We ordered the langosta (lobster) in both medium and small sizes--flavor was good, but it felt a bit overcooked for my taste (7.5/10). Served with fries and the fries were a little cold. On the other hand, the mofongo con camarones en salsa blanca was absolutely delicious--great flavor and perfectly done (9/10). Definitely a highlight. For appetizers, the queso frito with guava sauce was amazing--crispy, flavorful, and the sauce paired really well. We also had the stuffed fried sweet plantain with churrasco, which was another winner. It was well prepared and topped with a creamy white sauce that brought everything together nicely. Drinks were the downside. The sangria wasn't very good, and the mango juice tasted watered down and not natural. I wish I could give a better overall review, but that was my experience today. Hopefully it was just an off day because the food definitely has potential.

    Love this meal so much. The live music was so fun to witness. What a great accompaniment to our fantastic dinner. We had a wonderful server. We loved the appetizer of crab on plantains. Super tasty and I love the sauces. For dinner, we got half a lobster and Mofongo. I love the lobster more. I didn't love the Mofongo as much. It kind of had a pesto taste to it, but that's because we got chimichurri sauce. The lobster was to die for. I love the sauce. We ended the day with Leah, which was really tasty. The most expensive meal we had in Puerto Rico, but by far one of the best. For dinner.

    This kiosk is in a great location, right next to Luquillo beach. We wanted to try some Puerto Rican dishes, and this place has plenty to offer. We were seated in pleasant half-outdoor type of area where a performer was playing guitar and other instruments. Drinks/apps: We of course got a pina colada and a mojito, which hit the spot. I did ask for some waters which the waiter forgot about, but we eventually got them. We ordered some fried queso with guava sauce because we were intrigued by the combination. It was very delicious! The flavors go so well together, I would encourage everyone to try it. We also got chicharrones de kan kan, which were crispy, chewy and salty. They came with some mayo-ketchup and plantain fries. Yum! Entrees: for our mains we ordered a fried red snapper and a mofongo stuffed with shrimp. I unfortunately received chicken instead of shrimp. It was still really good, so I didn't end up saying anything. The garlic sauce made the dish so much more flavorful. TL;DR: I enjoyed this restaurant, it had a fun, laid back vibe and the food was good overall! I would recommend trying the fried queso and chicharron apps, they were my favorites.

    Terruño is the best! One of my favorite restaurants in Puerto Rico. I've been four times and each time it has been outstanding. I love their mofongo. Today I tried the coconut rice with fish based on a recommendation from a friend. It was delicious. I highly recommend it. Their mojitos and margaritas are also very good.

    #20 RUN DONT WALK The food was 4/5 the food was Delicious! Had chicken and grouper fish and both were delicious and well prepared and seasoned. The fish was in a garlic sauce. The sauce was perfectly seasoned and creamy. Fish could've been a bit more well done otherwise it was DELICIOUS! The rice was on the softer side. Very well seasoned! The service was 5/5 He was attentive, upstairs alone yet greeted and checked on us as though we were the only family there. The ambiance was 5/5 It's the "rooftop" view for me! Def eat on the 2nd floor. Every angle up there is magnificent and you don't have to worry about bugs! Two thumbs up and will certainly return!!

    I couldn't stop thinking about the Cheluta Kan Kan since we had dinner there the first night we arrived, therefore, had it again. I can't say enough about the pork chops. They had a singer and she was good. I guess they had a famous singer there too. She performed as well. She was really good. Too bad I didn't understand Spanish. Our waitress was ok. We split the bill and she under charged us. So she asked another waitress to help her flag us down so they can ask us to pay an additional $10. She apologized and we were fine paying. So no big deal. It's just that she was the one who split the bill and told us how much we owed. She must have been new because she didn't know that her credit card machine can split the bill vs her using her phone calculator. SMH they still get 5/5 stars.

    See all
