    Birria tostones
    Amber K.

    As we were leaving the beach we came across this cute little restaurant. It's vibey with amazing ocean views. We loved the natural juices and piña coladas, as well as the crab tostones were a hit for the table. The service was good too. A restaurant like This in California would be extremely expensive but the prices here were very reasonable.

    Amazing photo op. The triangle at the top of the Puerto Rican flag can be blue sky or blue ocean, your choice!

    MAKING WAVES This oceanside restaurant in Arecibo offers gorgeous views and delicious food. On the way from San Juan to Boquerón for New Years' 2024, our extended family (including my brother-in-law's-girlfriend's-daughter's-boyfriend) needed a place to stop and eat. We got lunch at Arrecife 681 on the northern coast of Puerto Rico. It took a while to place food and drink orders, our group separated along a single bench facing the sea. Service seemed slow, as if they were light on staff. Restrooms were clean, they have one each for men/women. The coconut mojito ($8) was a terrific value, especially considering its strength. I was still in the throes of a covid-like illness that wiped out my sense of taste & smell, so I had to ask my wife if it was as boozy as I thought it was (she took a sip and confirmed that it was in fact, pretty heavy on the rum). Other flavors of mojito included traditional (lime), parcha (passion fruit), acerola (cherry), tamarind, fresa (strawberry), and toronja rosada (grapefruit). Grapefruit always struck me as a nasty, bitter, barely-a-fruit fruit, but maybe it works in a mixed drink. The carne frita ($15) were small chunks of pork with plantain chips, pickled red onion and dipping sauce. The montaditos (4 for $11) were spicy crab mix and unagi sauce on top of crispy tostones. Both of these small plates were well-received by everyone. Our group enjoyed the creamy fish tacos (2 for $13) and signature fish tacos (2 for $11) which were supposed to come with sliced avocado. When asked why they didn't, our server uttered words I never thought I'd hear in Puerto Rico: "we're out of avocados". GASP! Apparently, they hosted a large group the evening prior and ran out of numerous things, including the aforementioned 'aguacate', pastelillos, and several beers. It'd be fine if 1-2 things weren't available, however they rattled off a list of stuff that sounded like half the menu! We made it work, though. Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 4.5 As far as the vibes go, Arrecife 681's got it in spades. The spectacular sightlines of the coast were some of best we saw all vacation. They've got a wooden board painted like the Puerto Rican flag, which accompanied by crashing waves mere feet away, makes for a great photo opportunity. Take one for the 'gram! * TL;DR * Arrecife 681 is a very cool place, unfortunately we had to pick from a limited menu. I wish we could've enjoyed a better selection of bites & bevs, but alas. Supply chain issues aside, this was an excellent stop on our trip around the island. I'd happily come back for those fish tacos (WITH avocado this time) and a flavored mojito. I'd recommend Arrecife 681 for its unparalleled views of the Atlantic and tasty small plates.

    Beach mode activado: Signature fish tacos, shrimp mofongo, y una cervecita para un día increíble. Salty air, ocean view and reggaeton sets the mood. Service is great!

    Great place to enjoy a great view while sipping on some cocktails and enjoying fantastic food. The service was excellent and parking is ample and free. Their octopus salad and the arroz manposteao are sooo good. Definitely a most try place if you're in the area.

    Pollo queso tocino y arroz
    Jocelyn B.

    On our way back to San Juan we had our last restaurant meal on the island here and it did not disappoint. Not only do you get amazing views of the ocean, but the food was great. For appetizers, we got two shrimp pastelillos with the garlic sauce. They were very hot and tasty. For our meals, my husband ordered the Pechuga queso y tocineta with a side of rice. I ordered the signature fish tacos and a piña colada. The fish tacos were super crisp and full of flavor. I would personally pass on the piña colada and try their sunset mojito if I am ever in the area again. Be aware that if you do sit on the tables closest to the water, it can get very windy and light plates will most likely flip and fly away. It is a very romantic setting for couples, and I'd imagine during sunset it looks even better. At the time we went there was no music but with the P fKn R neon sign they have and the bar I'm assuming they might have more of a club/bar ambiance during weekends or later. Our server was very attentive and came to check on us multiple times. The service was fairly quick - keep in mind most restaurants in the island do take their time making their food. Parking is located across the restaurant.

    Mofongo con carne frita

    Awesome food. Mofongo was great! It was moist and the carne frita was on point - not dry. Great service and view.

    Absolutely amazing views! The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Would come back in a heartbeat!!

    Signature tacos

    This was my wife and I's first meals while in Puerto Rico and I can say it'll probably be one of the best we will have. We were greeted promptly at the host stand upon arrival, and had a lot of different tables to choose from (surprised they weren't a lot busier). The waiter took our order promptly, and everything came out super quick. They even offered us bug spray to keep the mosquitos away while sitting. Being right next to the ocean was great as well. Now to the food and drinks. I got the sunset mojito and carne frita. The mojito wasn't my thing, but my wife got one and liked it (so I think I'm just not a mojito guy). The carne frita was amazing. It was super simple, but was packed with flavor. The meat was perfectly fried, and the onions added a nice touch. I would have liked some sort of dressing/liquid/oil on the lettuce (unless that's how it normally comes?). The rice was packed with cilantro and bacon which made it full of flavor. If I had more time in this area, I would definitely return. If you haven't had the chance to come here, you definitely should!

    Best meal we had in PR! What a spectacular ocean front restaurant! The view is just outstanding, and honestly the food & drink was delicious too! I ended up having tacos everywhere I went in PR but the creamy fish tacos at Arrecife were by far my favorite! Perfectly fried grouper topped with spicy creamy shredded crab and some slaw. The crunchy plus sweet textures along with a hint of spice just blended perfectly. Nice & filling too! Why have I never had a fish taco with spicy crab on it before?!?! Fruity mojitos were fresh & tasty as well. Service was friendly & on point. The view was mesmerizing. After a day in the sun we couldnt have picked a better lunch spot! I'll never forget those tacos!

    Ensalada de pulpo
    Brandee M.

    Very good pulpo salad! It was fresh and a very good portion. The only con was The taro chips were a little stale and tasted like they had been sitting. The Parcha mojito was so delicious. Very fresh and refreshing and not too strong. I will be back!

    Great drinks

It's been great coming back--this place still delivers a really enjoyable experience. They have a nice handful of vegetarian options, which I really appreciate. I tried the homemade black bean burger--the flavor was excellent, though it could use a bit more texture. Still, everything else we ordered was absolutely delicious. The skinny margaritas were amazing--super refreshing and perfectly made. Another big plus is that they're very dog-friendly, which adds to the relaxed, welcoming vibe. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Rincón Beer Company is definitely a spot I'd recommend for great drinks, good food, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

A lot of good places to eat around here and honestly the food is a great value. Service is good as they're moving all through the floor and not allocated to one section it seemed. You did have to stay on them about drink refills and passing them your empty cans, plates clearing the table for room as the tables are small and not much room at all. Ambiance was super chill as it's a Puerto Rican surf brewery. Spanish reggae music all around! Not to loud but enough to make it feel more authentic. We'd definitely put it on our list to not miss if in the area.

The menu was large, bigger than what is shared online and they have a few kids options as well. We sat outdoors, under the beautiful lights. There was a good breeze coming in and they also had plenty of ceiling fans and side fans you could turn on if you needed to. Food was 10/10. In addition to cocktails (which were good), we started off safe with the cod fritters, something we knew our kids would like. They tasted very fresh and had a lot of fish in them.y kids got the chicken fingers with THE best beans I've had (not an exaggeration). For mains we ordered the risotto with churrasco and Mofongo with shrimp. Everything was delicious. Portions were big and nobody was left hungry. I have to also mention that the service was 10/10. We will be back very soon! I personally feel like it can be hard to find a place to get a good meal in Puerto Rico, this place was excellent!
