    Mofongo, meat, salad and shrimps. Chuletada KanKan, tostones , meat and garlic shrimps. Everything was absolutely fantastic.

    Delicious food, great service and the most amazing breeze, Ambiance is great this is exactly a waterfront restaurant.

    My table only thing good about this restaurant.

    The place has the best views you can get from piñones, but in terms of service they suck. The have the rudest and most disrespectful waitresses. When you go to a restaurant you are paying for the ambience the food and to have a good time. The place wasn't full at capacity and the waitress keep complaining about the place been full and the kitchen working slow. Order a carrucho and it took over an hour until i had to approach the waitress to complain about the way she treated us and the waiting time. Even my brother tried to find out what was happening to the waitress and she complaint about other customers and criticize them in front of the entire table. Definitely if you are looking for a nice environment and service this is not your place. I actually left very upset and it seems didn't even matter to this people.

    Mojito's

    This place was great . We found this nice spot by walking the beach . It has one of the best views! We had ordered some Mojitos which I didn't really care for, the alcohol seem almost non existent. So I went a head and ordered the local beer "medalla" which is really good for a nice price we also ordered a dish I'll post a pic below , but It was delicious and fresh. If we're ever in Puerto Rico we'd definitely stop here again!

    Hidden gem, food was delicious, hot, fresh and service was great. Ambiance seems kind of run down but it still felt homey.

    Great spot! Beautiful views! Great ambiance! Food is not spectacular, but is good. Needs to work on their service. The waitresses were cordial and attentive but a bit slow.

    Mofongo de camarones (mofongo with shrimp)

    Went with family. Service was a little slow. Food was ok. Was a little disappointed with their mofongo with camarones (shrimp) was kind of tough and chewy. Their margarita was weak. Beautiful beach location and the atmosphere was very nice. Had a great breeze came mi g into the restaurant. Loves that they played music. Overall it was a nice place.

    This is an excellent spot to stop along PR-187. As its name suggests, the patio is right on the water and the view of the water is a perfect backdrop to the meal. We have the arroces with shrimp and octopus and the mofongo with steak. Both were delicious, authentic Puerto Rican meals. Highly recommend this gem among the other, more casual kiosks along this strip.

    The Ocean of the restaurant.

    The food was okay the view is beautiful. The crab was a little dry and it can be expensive but good for taking pictures (The service can take a while). Overall we had a good time.

    Review #1,043 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We stopped here after arriving & getting settled at our room/spot on Wednesday the 22nd. We had seen this spot online a lot & were looking forward to the fried stuff. So when we came, the line wasn't too long, but they were out of bacalaitos which was the main item I wanted to try. They went to make them fresh, which we were looking forward too, it took a bit, but Buddy finally went to the back to fry some fresh ones up. I've got to admit, I was disappointed on how the actual bacalaito delivered. It felt like all bread, I couldn't taste the fish. If the fish was in here, it was one of the more chincier portions I've ever got. Now what saved the day & also blew me away was the Alcapurria de carne. This little thing was on hit, I should've ordered 2. It's like fried plantain, with ground beef inside, the plantain even though fried was extremely soft. I'd come back & eat here 100%, a must when visiting the PR.

    Tasty food. Almost all fried. 3.5 stars really - can't rate a place like this 4 or 5. It's fast,…read moreeasy food. Loud (really) atmosphere at 7:45p on a Friday night. Fun to hear all the laughter and levity. Had the pollo kebabs, cod fritter, shrimp tacos, beef taco, beef empanadas, and beef alcapurrias. Service was non existent. Order and carry to your table. However, the cashier spoke basically no English. We survived and so will you!
