We thought we came late enough to get lunch but they were only serving breakfast. The breakfast menu is really small. Not tons to choose from. They were also out of some stuff. The food was good but just disappointed that we couldn't order lunch. I did enjoy the breakfast burrito. The restaurant has a nice ocean view. read more

great food and service. right on the beach, one can watch the surfers catching waves. Large blow hole in the rocks spraying and one can hike out to it, but wear shoes, you will be walking on coral. read more

Our absolute favorite beach bar in Jobos! Without a doubt, we will stop here every time we are in town and go at least once. The owner and staff are all very friendly amazing views of the beach and all of the surfers. Lots of Puerto Rican style dishes, wide variety of food options. read more

Terrible servicio meseras y bartender are rude looks like they just hate working here

Umas is a great spot for fresh fish tacos with a view. They have a daily menu and their desserts are delish! Try the tembleque. The staff are friendly and quick. They will modify orders and change things up if you ask. We had a great experience! read more

Flew in from NY where we're fans of the Umas in Rockaway NY. Me and the family were not disappointed. The fish empanadas were something I've never tasted in my life and they were fluffy like a zeppoli and had flavor that wasn't fishy at all. The fish tacos were not what I expected (was thinking Cali style tacos) and it was very good with multiple layers of flavor. The seaweed salad and carrots gave it a slight salty taste, the fried fish was the crunch cooked to perfection and the red onions have a slight spice with the cooking cabbage and drizzle of sauce. Tostones we're huge and filling. Loved the cilantro lime sauce with the empanadas. Would highly recommend anyone visiting to stop by. read more

Umas is a beach bar with a great location on Jobos beach. It is right next to Moka, where you can rent surf boards, beach chairs and umbrellas. Food is average - we had fries, octopus salad and wings plus cocktails. The fries and wings both seemed previously frozen and the octopus salad seemed to be out of a can. Drinks (mojitos) were fresh and strong. On the day we visited, our server, who was new, was very good, and the bartender was also great, friendly and helpful. Umas has a decent size parking lot where cars double/triple/quadruple park. But somehow, as long as you let a server or bartender know which car is yours, it all works and people are respectful and ok moving cars as needed to let others out and in. So, a 3-star rating based on service and location; took 2 stars off for average food quality. Sorry no pics - didn't seem worth it. read more

If I could, I would give this place NO STARS. The service was HORRIBLE. The waitresses were so rude! I never got the food I ordered and waited over 30 minutes for. There was a family using the restaurant like their own personal deck. Allowing more than 6 children run through back and forth on and off of the deck as the adults sat and ate and drank. A table of 4 adults who came in after me and my partner were fully served all their drinks and food which is what made me ask for a status. Then when I asked for a status of my food they asked me if I wanted another plate bc they didn't notice I never got my original plate. They admitted they had forgotten and then caught an attitude with me because I decided not to continue to wait and asked them to just cancel it. Meanwhile other families were receiving proper service, there were only 2 other tables occupied so it wasn't a situation where they were busy. Maybe if I was a tourist I would have gotten better service. So disappointing!! The views are so beautiful but I can sit on the beach for the same views. I will make sure my ppl don't go there to be mistreated. read more

Love this place! Sorry it took me so long into my trip before I got here. Views are amazing, Javier and staff are great. Bathrooms are clean, foods yummy! First came here one night w my host, but the kitchen was closed. I instantly knew I wanted to come back. Bestie arrived and I figured it'd be the best place to take her too. Javier waited on us and was an absolute sweetheart. I don't remember what I was originally drinking but Javier suggested the rum punch, and that became my go to. I fell in love w queso frito and ate it like everywhere. I just wasn't a fan of the guava sauce. I had a cilantro sauce instead. The chicken wings are super flavorful too, and the barbecue sauce had a nice flavor. Yelp says they're open til midnight, it's more like 10. I don't think anything around here is open that late. 10/10:30 seems to be about it. I went back again for dinner, I tried the Hawaiian garlic shrimp. Fabulous! My last full day here we came back for breakfast. I'd been doing myself a disservice by not doing that earlier. Water was crystal clear, just a beautiful way to start the day, and breakfast was quite tasty. I had the New Yorker. The bacon was so flavorful. The bread was thick, but I had bird friends to share with. I will go back when I return, but like this whole town, this place is a gem!! read more

Always one of my favorites meals in Isabela! Vero (like Veronica) is very pleasant and attentive. Fish kebabs, fish bites and fish tacos are all great! And don't miss the coconut flan! read more

Food was okay, service was terrible. Rude staff, non accommodating, and super slow. There's so many other restaurants on this beach, pick a different one so staff doesn't ruin your relaxing and fun beach day. read more

Ate a late lunch at Uma's last week with 8 of my friends. We all ordered I the Tuna Poke bowl and devoured the entire dish. I also ordered Tostones as a side. Uma's is usually very busy and has a very long wait time for your food to arrive, but this time we were all served very quickly. The food was excellent, and the vibes were relaxed, enjoying the salty air and watching people surf on Jobos Beach. Definitely try the mojitos!!!! read more

This was my first time at this restaurant, and I enjoyed it tremendously. I had never heard of it, but my co-pilot suggested that we eat there. It's off the beaten path, so this isn't the type of restaurant you would just drop by. The owner, Conrad, stopped by our table chatted for awhile. Believe it or not, he's from Philadelphia! The story of him being in Puerto Rico and opening a local restaurant is quite interesting. He is a great guy, with a great restaurant. Uma is a casual, beachside restaurant. The beach access and view is unbeatable. Conrad only serves fresh food, including fresh-caught fish. Hence, the menu is posted on a chalkboard that changes daily. I started off with an iced latte, while my co-pilot went surfing. It was windy, and there was a riptide. The waves were great, but he got thrashed. I enjoyed my iced latte. Quite tasty. For dinner, I had the grilled mahi-mahi kabobs, served with fresh pico and tostones. It was my first time trying tostones, which are smashed and fried plantains. It seemed a little dry, but I have no previous experience for comparison. The mahi-mahi kebab was served hot on a skewer. It was wonderfully flavorful, tender, and generally succulent! Yaaaaaas! The service was friendly and timely. They were busy, but no one tried to rush us away. I will go out of my way to visit this place again. Capt. Brad read more

Great food, ambiance and service... excellent find. Fish is so fresh & pina colada's and coffee are delicious.

I was here about a week ago.. .. came in an hour into opening and got seated right away! Service: good! The waitress let us know that unfortunately she was the only one working the whole place so to be patient with her. I appreciated that but still service did not take long. Food: could have been better. The items on the menus were straightforward and catering to a very western crowd. I would've like to see more local items on the menu. We had the Greek omelette and pancakes and they were good, nothing special. Ambiance: amazing!! It's a very laid back shack vibe right in Jobos beach. Could've had many more mimosas and spend the day here but it was very windy. Will definitely come back! read more

O..m...g the most phenomenal tuna rice bowl EVER! It was so delicious and packed with flavor. I also got a Caesar salad (added chicken) when I went for the second time, and I'm usually not a big fan, but it was also very good. If you stop by, definitely go for the sautéed (or raw) tuna rice bowl.. unforgettable!! read more

Excellent. View is simply amazing! Food was very good. We had the fish bites and lentil soup. Both were excellent. Also had the hummus, it was good. Tuna poke bowl was excellent. Service was very good. A hidden gem. I may never leave Uma's. I returned again for breakfast and dinner. Caesar salad v good. French toast and oatmeal were excellent. read more

We had a beyond fantastic experience here. The entire ambiance of the place is great, location on the beach can't be beat, a menu written on a chalk board, chill vibes, and good food. Please do yourself a favor and get the passion fruit mojito, it was delicious and strong! The food was great, and the service was wonderful. I guess it's possible that a more relaxed beach hut restaurant like this can have various people working here which may change the experience, otherwise I can't imagine how it ever gets anything less than 4-5 stars. They hit it out of the park, and we will definitely be back! Our waitress was cheerful, smiling, and everyone eating seemed to be having a great time. Nice place to watch the sunset too. read more

This place needs new management. I've gone four (4) times since January 2020-Jan 16, 2021. All four times, I've had to leave without eating anything because they were unable to serve us. I've gone with family, friends, and just my husband on date night. Twice they've been about to close. Once was for Pandemic. While Uma's was indeed open, they would not serve us because they had to close at 9 pm. but we arrived at 7:30 pm. They were closing early so the staff could get home before curfew. However, I did call ALL DAY long to confirm these operating hours. They don't answer the phone because the bartender said there is no physical phone at the restaurant so nobody is to answer it to tell you what time they close. Also, Uma's doesn't update their business hours on Google (so easy to do), so you won't know what time they really close. That was the excuse for two other visits to Uma's. Then there was yesterday. We arrived at 6:15 pm. and the server gave us the disclaimer that the food was taking more than 1 hour so we should reconsider staying unless we had loads of patience. We ordered drinks instead; one beer and one gin and tonic. The beer arrived, but no gin and tonic. Since my husband was already finishing the beer, I asked the bartender about my drink but she didn't know anything, then I asked the server and nothing, then the second server, and it just never came. We paid $8 for a cup of beer (solo cup) and had to leave again with no food. Uma's has the best location, vibe, and beach view. However, the management needs to get its act together. read more

In Aguadilla and a friend recommended Umas for lunch. This spot is cute and funky. The location is perfect because it is directly on the beach. My group of 7 went in at about 3:30 pm on a Tuesday afternoon and we seated ourselves. The restaurant was not busy at this time of day. We were greeted by our server and she had our drinks out in no time. Our food was also out in a timely manner. We had the shrimp mofongo, chicken mofongo, poke bowl and chicken kebabs. Everything was served hot and it was all delicious. We were not disappointed. If in Aguadilla I highly recommend Umas for a nice relaxing lunch/dinner by the beach. They have parking and food is reasonably priced plus it's all delicious. read more

Extremely rude staff, slow service, minuscule portions and mediocre food. They clearly pay people for fake 5 star reviews too cuz they're a bunch of 1 stars on Google. I paid 18 bucks for 6 pieces of shrimp. Avoid big time if you value making good decisions read more

Favorite bar and place to eat in Isabela. First, location is the best overlooking the Jobos break. Great for watching surfers or the sunset. Tables are 10-15 feet from the ocean. Second, fish is super fresh, and based on what they caught that afternoon. We had the fish of the day, empanadas, shrimp, and tuna. All were lights out. Third, it has a real funky vibe - surfer dudes, tourists, families, and locals. Forth, great bar with a nice mix of drinks read more
