    Lobster and Ribeye
    Wilfred C.

    Amazing food great service the owners and family are amazing caring people! This place is an experience that can't be missed when in the Puerto Real of Cabo Rojo.

    The place looked nice, and the service was good. We enjoyed seviche for an appetizer, and the drinks were fine. I give it 3 stars only because our avocado-stuffed grouper looked, and most importantly, tasted like tilapia (I'm adding a photo). We decided not to make a fuss out of it, but it was a disappointment. Another odd thing was that they requested tips in cash or via Venmo, separate from the bill. Not a bad thing, but kinda odd.

    Restaurants in Cabo Rojo are good, so the most difficult thing often is to pick a place. After some Yelp reviews, I came across Buena Vibra. The reviews and pictures from other Yelpers, and the menu spoke to me. The ambiance is very relaxed. Arrived to the restaurant and parked in their lot. Our party of three was greeted right away, and given the option to choose where to sit. All our drinks were good, and the food and service were amazing. I highly recommend the rice and beans, mini cordon blues, coconut shrimp, and skirt steak with arañitas. For desert, the crème brûlée and flans are a hit.

    Ok , so sat down and had a great chat with workers . Had a coconut margarita that I won't have again . Not that tasty but coconut water and rum was good. Had great food after it came , took a bit but they did have a wedding party so that was part of it . Bought some good coffee from shop and some goodies, nice cup !

    This is a great open air style restaurant with a wonderful staff, friendly owners and awesome food! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu

    Went there at 7 ordered around 7:15 and our entrees didn't arrive until an hour and a half later. Now they did mention to us that they are packed and the food was going to take a little longer than normal to arrive but didn't tell us how long. 30 mins would have been too long 45 minutes the max but wow an hour and a half. The food was actually really good when it arrived but I ate it with such anger in me that I couldn't really enjoy it. My daughter ordered the kids burger off the menu and it was a cheeseburger, she hates cheese, when they took it away with only 1 bite eaten they brought something else. The bill however still had the burger and I asked the waitress to remove it because she didn't eat it. I showed her on the menu it didn't mention cheese at all in the description and it was labeled burger not cheeseburger. After some back and forth with the waitress, they eventually removed it but after an hour and a half wait you're going to nickle and dime me for a kids burger. If they have such long wait times for food they should fix it. Everyone around us had similar wait times, so it wasn't just out meal. Stop letting so many people sit down or give people actual times to eat. Overall this was a complete waste of my night and I will never recommend this place nor come back.

    Chicken cordon blue bites and salty meatballs
    Beth M.

    I'm a bit obsessed with the idea of those plantain cups filled with deliciousness and this was one of the only places to mention it in their review, so we headed here despite it being a 40 minute drive. The place seemed nice enough as was the staff, but apparently all of those shredded plantain cups came with food that was cold (seafood salad, etc.). I fully admit there may have been a translation issue, but I did ask if any of the dishes were valor and our waitress said, "no, todos frio". So I instead got the burgers served on totstones and this is where the real issue comes in. The meat. It's very clearly mixed with salt (and egg?) long before being cooked so the texture is just really bad. Like weird sausage bad. Actually the same texture as the salty meatballs (which were salty (as advertised) but also had that weird sausagey texture. The chicken cordon blue bites were quite tasty though.

    Stuffed avocado with skirt steak in guava sauce with tostones.

    I tried this with family on our first trip to Puerto Rico, and the food was fantastic! All the staff were super friendly and were accommodating since we didn't speak much Spanish. It's an open air place where all tables are covered, and it's very casual and welcoming. Two of us had the Aguacates Rellenos (stuffed avocados) one with steak one with chicken and both were fresh and tasty. My father had their ribeye steak (which was huge) and said it was the best he's ever had in a restaurant. Topped it off with fresh cold mojitos and couldn't ask for a better evening! Must check out if you're in the area!

    Avocado conch
    Luis R P.

    Excellent ambiance. Excellent food. Excellent service. The calamari was great and crunchy, the avocado steak and avocado fish were awesome! The food and presentation were great. Only one bottle of red wine was available. They will not charge you on the table, and you have to check out at the register and then they force the tip on cash or Venmo. Odd practice for which I cannot give this awesome place more than 2 stars. Stop that unusual practice and you can be a 5 star place. The lady at register was quite aggressive and rude about asking for the tip to be cash/Venmo. Be ready for that awkward moment.

    Stuffed avocado buena vibra style
    Chelsea A.

    Buena Vibra is close to our family condo and we always plan to have at least one meal here every trip down to PR. The churrasco stuffed avocado is my all time favorite. We had the passion fruit sangria as well as a red sangria. The vibes here are always GOOD and they've recently added some cool new decor. Their airbnb upstairs is also super cool, we've used it in the past. Service is always friendly. We will continue to come back each trip

    Guava Glazed Steak Stuffed Avocado with rice and beans! The beans were DELICIOUS!!!
    Yuliana R.

    The food and service were excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Average plate prices ranged from $20 to $30. A full bar is available. We plan to return.

    Whole fish with rice & beans. So yummy !

    Every time I visit PR, this is one of my favorite places to go. The food is excellent, delicious and fresh. The service outstanding and the atmosphere very pleasant.

    Arañitas, El volcan de guayaba, and stuffed avocado with conch
    Michelle G.

    This is an open-air type restaurant/bar, so consider bringing bug spray if you're eating after dark. I'd say some of the dishes were amazing and worth five stars - definitely the arañitas (fried plantain bits that were so good) and the coconut grouper with guava (heavenly - maybe the best seafood I had my whole time in Puerto Rico). The pionono bites were good - solid 4 stars but probably next time I'd try a different fried app. We got the stuffed avocado with conch and that was just okay - maybe the stuffed avocado seafood special is better, but unfortunately it has shrimp and my friend is allergic to shrimp. The passion fruit juice was okay, it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
