One of many unobstructed water front dining establishments on this strip. Few spaces made parking a bit challenging. Our favorite was the Caribbean shrimp. The tres leches was too sweet for us. This was the only restaurant we encountered discourteous service on the island while inquiring about our child's severe allergy. Unfortunately the hidden high, online only menu (difficult to translate for a large group or kids), topped with an argumentative staff, makes this one a skip for us. Did not deliver the relaxing island vibe we were seeking. read more

We arrived after sunset, but still caught the colors. It was chilly inside, we opted to sit on the patio. Be aware of the crashing waves. There is a slight spray. Erica was our server, did a very good job advising us of wait times. She suggested fried cheese balls would be a good appetizer segway to our main dishes. They were! The French fries were done equally well, nicely seasoned and very crisped to perfection. Our main dishes were very good as well. We look forward to going back! read more

I loved our lunch there. The pulpo was excellent and so was the coconut crusted Mahi. Also I want to thank our server (I forgot her name) but she happened to recommend going out in Boqueron for the night and it was one of the most fun nights we had on our trip. I really appreciated her openness and kindness. read more

Had dinner tonight. Best restaurant in PR for me the last 3 years. Seafood paella , octopus ceviche was terrific and best Pina Colada was best one I had this year. Veronica sold me 2 of them. This is a family run business and dad, Heimy could be US ambassador. Veronica explained the menu in perfect english. What a great waitress. The photos below dont do them justice for how good they were. We definitely will be back. I ve eaten at seversl restaurants in Joyuda and this one is on the top for food quality, friendly staff and ambiance. read more

Food was delicious. Our server was very friendly. It was a little dark inside but the radiant service made up for that.

Me and my friends came here for dinner. We wanted to sit by the water and have an amazing dinner and we found just that here. Our server went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best experience. We wish we went a little bit later, so we could've watched the sunset while having dinner. The food was out of this world. The pulpo appetizer with the tostones was delicious. My buddy got the mahi-mahi in a garlic sauce with their house rice. I had the kan kan boy was it cooked perfectly! We also had the 10 ounce lobster tail with a guava sauce. She kept saying we needed to try their house specialty rice and man she was not wrong. We could've just ate rice by the pound. That's how delicious it was. The passionfruit Mojitos were on point. We also wanted dessert and we asked her to surprise us with some thing and we were not let down. It was these fresh cinnamon sticks with guava and cheese oh my goodness. This place is a little hidden gem. Go check it out. read more

Truly a perfect spot! We went for lunch and had the fish of the day (mahi mahi) with the tarragon/garlic/butter sauce along with the vegetables, arroz bamboleio (so good), and the almojabanas (incredible). The patio is literally right up against the water with a beautiful view, our waitress was so kind and welcoming, and the food came out quickly without being rushed. Everything was delicious! read more

Fantastic restaurant. Excellent experience. Did not want to leave. The location provides for an unbelievably beautiful ocean view (and sunset). The food is delicious, mostly local seafood but more refined. Service is top notch. Inside room has sort-of an eclectic look someway matching the cuisine. Great service; truly knowledgeable staff, family owned. Ample parking. One of our favorites places island/wide. Will definitely come back!! read more

Excellent food and service. All the shrimp dishes as well as the salmon are fantastic!

Beautiful view when you sit outside. We ordered drinks and apps to start. They had mini alcapurrias and mini bacalaitos which we really enjoyed. The waitress said they had guineo alcapurrias but they were yuca. Fine by us! The drinks. We ordered a coconut mojito and mango margarita. They ran out of coconut...how do you run out if coconut!!! You shouldn't run out of coconut in PR but whatever. They gave me a strawberry mojito which I didn't order. You'd think they would comp the drink but not so. I sent it back. Just don't order drinks. The dinners were good but they ran out of white rice. Seriously how do you run out of rice in PR! All in all it was ok but I wouldn't return. It felt like too many disappointments. read more

I never leave reviews but this place will have us talking for days! The most amazing pork chop I've ever had! If you go here and don't order it, you're missing out!! Super yummy mojitos, they were perfect! My grandfather said in the future he wouldn't eat anywhere else when he visits this area! He's been raving about it for the last half an hour, and he's hard to impress. Pork Chop Can Can is a MUST HAVE!

Friendly service, beautiful ocean view, delicious food, and yummy drinks. This is a hidden gem! Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Eclectic decor. Traditional Puerto Rican foods and sea food, done extremely well. We had Bolitas de queso (fried cheese fritters), surullitos (corn fritters), almojabanas (rice fritters), grilled longaniza sausage tossed in a delicious pesto sauce served with perfectly fried tostones, and bacalaitos (cod fritters). All amazing. Highly recommended! read more

We came to Bamboleio with a few friends and were seated on the patio outside, which offered a great view of the ocean. I ordered the rabo de langosta with garlic sauce. The lobster was well-cooked; pieces were tender without being rubbery at all. I also tried my friend's salmon fresco. The dill and garlic sauce was delicious. The food takes a little bit of time to get to your table, but well worth the freshly cooked food. There seemed to be a bunch of restaurants on this strip of road, but I think we made a good choice coming here. read more

Food never disappoints. Kudos to the chef. Servers are always very personable and engaging.

Our group of 6 loved everything about this restaurant. First, the restaurant has about 8 parking spaces directly outside and the has overflow parking across the street with plenty of space. The restaurant is directly on the water with a beautiful western facing view (aka amazing sunsets). There is limited patio seating but you can have wonderful views from inside as well. Our group started with the bolitas de queso (fried cheese balls) with ginger guava sauce, the coconut shrimp, and pico de gallo con mango. For the bolitas de queso, imagine a fried macaroni ball without the macaroni and that is what this is, so it's delicious but heavy. Coconut shrimp was well breaded but keep in mind they leave tails on. And the pico is extremely fresh. Now, the entrees. I had the vegetarian mofongo (best I've had on the island) and my group had the mofongo camarones, the churrasco, and the dorado. Both the vegetarian mofongo and camarones mofongo were well sauced and had plenty of toppings. The churrasco was perfectly cooked and the dorado was perfectly light. In all, the food here is excellent. We had plenty of drinks as well but I highly recommend the mojitos or the ginger lavender cocktails. read more

Food is on point. My favorite is the spicy crab. Service is great. Enjoys every time I go. Try soup of the day.

Had the chipotle tacos appetizers and they were wonderful. Wish I had stayed for dinner but it was just drinks. The drinks were also extraordinary. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

New Year's Day, it's my first day of being retired - and I find this slice of heaven for the close of my first day of the next phase of my life. Bomboleio's staff are pleasant, courteous, prompt. They delivered a beautifully prepared, wonderfully tasty plate of fish tacos, and amazing nachos with red pico and mango salsa. It is obvious that care and pride are a part of the Bomboleio's team product. The space delivers a laid back, relaxing, welcoming environment. Great for watching absolutely stunning sunsets. Well done! Thank you for the memorable experience. I will definitely be back, and bringing friends to share this experience with. Sorry, I consumed all of my dinner before getting pictures as the presentation deserved sharing - sorry I was hungry. So you will have to come find out yourself. Happy New Year! May 2023 be a year we all find a way to treat each other with patience and respect. All of our children deserve that from us. read more

Bamboleio is a great reason to come to Puerto Rico's southwest corner. An outstanding place in a glorious seaside situation, this restaurant and bar is the best of Joyuda's famous Milla de Oro seafood strip. Wonderful atmosphere, combining down-home hospitality with bohemian-chic Caribbean sophistication. Painted in bright colors, fresh flowers on the tables, paintings and witty signs on the wall, the place is family-run and family-friendly. The well-spaced tables and subdued background music also make it easy on the ears and you can hear what your companions are saying. Eat in or out on the shoreside patio while frigate birds and pelicans drift by; you might even get a glimpse of the local manatees. Their seafood is fresh, made up into delicious Puerto Rican traditional dishes as well as imaginative creations using local ingredients. Dining at Bamboleio is a memorable experience, and few things can beat a pitcher of Bamboleio's in-house sangria while soaking up some of the Caribbean's most glorious sunsets. Maitress d' Veronica says "we put love in everything we do" and you do feel that when you walk in. read more

The food was excellent! They got us two vegetarian dishes when we hadn't seen any on the menu. The ingredients were fresh and the taste well balanced. Service was good. Outside tables are right next to the bay. We saw nice birds (osprey, royal terns, frigate bird) and fish. read more

Mi hija de 11 años pidió un mojito y se lo trajeron con alcohol. Cuando reclamé, la mesera aceptó el error, pero el resto del personal me hechó la culpa a mí y nos botaron del restaurante.

I came to visit my parents in Cabo Rojo this month when I was introduced to this amazing restaurant!The food was DELICIOUS, the service was absolutely wonderful, and the view was stunning! Myself and my family were promptly greeted with big smiles at the door and the whole staff was very friendly and cheerful. I have been to many restaurants in Puerto Rico and I can honestly say I have never experienced such amazing customer service as I have here. We had such a lovely experience that we ended up returning a few days later and we were lucky enough to be served by the same waitress who attended us on our first visit. Our waitress Wanda Liz Ortiz was exceptional!! If you're ever in Joyuda I highly recommend coming to this restaurant! You won't regret it! read more
