We ordered the fries cheese and grouper bites, both were fresh and tasty. I ordered the Mofongo stuffed with skirt steak. It was ok. Nothing I would order again. The skirt steak was cut in strips and sautéed, not grilled which made it tough and offset the taste. We told waitress we were celebrating my birthday, they bought out a cheesecake with a candle. However we were charged for it. I asked the waitress if the birthday dessert was free with all we ordered that night. She said no, that her boss would get upset!! Really??

I was really hopeful that another visit to the shack would be an opportunity to up my review…read more Unfortunately quite the opposite occurred. They attempted to seat us at a postage stamp sized table barely bigger than the napkin holder sitting on top of it. No thanks. The food quality has taken a steep decline. My "sea" scallops were tough, chewy, and hard like small bouncy rubber balls. The clam chowder was "off" if that makes sense. Didn't quite taste fresh and had a lot of gritty texture to it. The garlic shrimp was quite paltry. Tiny tail-on shrimp that quite honestly reminded be of a bag of frozen from the supermarket. Ceviche was ok, but not enough to make up for the rest of this train wreck. Due to poor execution of nearly every dish, Will not return.

Came here after hitting up the nearby beach in Piñones and had a great meal. The seafood was fresh…read moreand the portions were good. the atmosphere feels local (vs touristy). The fried snapper fish was cooked perfectly and everything tasted fresh. I tried their churrasco and trifongo (mofongo de plátano verde, plátano maduro, and yuca combined) It can get lively with a crowd and music, depending on the time of day, but that's part of the Piñones experience. One thing to keep in mind is that the beach access nearby isn't directly connected to the restaurant area, so if you're planning to visit both, having transportation makes things much easier. If you're walking, be prepared for a longer trek than you might expect. Overall, this spot is worth a stop.

It has a lot of visual appeal & feels like somewhere you'd want to sit,vibe,& linger for a bit. There's outside sitting which was refreshing b/c you feel the cool PR breeze from the nearby beach. The service, however, could have been more attentive. The waiter was a bit hard to catch @ times which took away from the overall experience. I literally had to try to get his attention multiple times which was frustrating. As for the food, it was a mixed experience. I ordered the snapper, & while it had potential (b/c the flavor was def there)it was fried a bit too much & came out on the dry side. I also got a dried out lime so that didn't help to add juice to the fish.The white rice & beans were actually the highlight of the meal(well-seasoned & really enjoyable). I also tried the cod fish fritter (bacalaito), but it was overly greasy & didn't really have much cod fish in it, which was disappointing. Overall, the atmosphere is gr8 & worth checking out for the ambiance and photos, but the food & service could use some improvement.

I had the chicken breast as my side was the rice and peas and yuca , the chicken was cold and hard and the the yuca idk how tf they messed it up , so because I didnt wanna be rude I kept the food and only ate the rice and peas. My mom had the puerto red snapper and again salty Af (seriously the chef needs to go) the rice and peas and the steamed veggies , just like I she only ate the rice . My little brother was the only one that likes his food which is why the two stars . Overall try at your own risk , that was a looks can be deceiving type of place. AWFUL !!!!

Nothing short of amazing! This restaurant was suggested by our hotel. I'm so glad they made that…read moresuggestion. First off, we had an ocean view at dinner. It was spectacular. The server was so attentive! He was there for our ever need. From pouring the champagne to making sure our dinner was ok, Guillermo was superb. We started with the garlic shrimp. To. Die. For. The sauce was full of flavor. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. We also had the grilled octopus. This was amazing!!!! They are known for this. You must order at least one of the 5 offered to start. For dinner, I had the grilled snapper and my date had the churrasco with a grilled lobster tail. Just fantastic! There was nothing wrong with anything. It was the most perfect meal! For dessert, the tres leches. Light and sweet! Just what you needed to end the experience. Thank you!

We started out with some "empanadillas de chapín" which were full to the brim with fish and tasted delicious. We had a couple of ice cold medallas and ordered some arepas stuffed with shrimp and carrucho. They did take an unusually long time to serve us which is why I'm not giving them 5 stars today. We waited more than half an hour for some arepas which are usually served in a couple of minutes. It was a very hot and humid day so the wait was a bit uncomfortable. Overall the food quality is great. If you're around the area you should definitely stop by here after a day at the beach. :)

That might also be due to the fact that the heat lamps they had the food under either weren't real heat-lamp bulbs or were cruddy heat-lamp bulbs. Our food was - without us requesting it - microwaved before it was given to us. I guess that would be my take-away. It looked like there were enough other options selling more or less the same dishes, so maybe shop around before settling on this place.

He said it was about a 10 minute walk and that I would not be disappointed.. Bet! The next day, while she was working, I took my little walk to Cayo Caribe and I'm sure glad that I did! It's a cool indoor/outdoor restaurant, with a nice sized bar and island decor. I ordered the Red Snapper and the server promptly came over with two for me to pick from before they cooked it to my liking. I chose grilled over fried. It took a little while for them to prepare it but it was well worth the wait. That snapper was freakin delicious!! So much so, I convinced her the next day to check out Cayo Caribe instead of Sushi. We started off with a couple drinks and calamari. She chose the grilled red snapper and I chose fried snapper this time. Honestly, mine was fried a bit too long, so I regreted not going with grilled again :( Cayo Caribe is must go for anyone that's visiting PR and loves fish. I thorougly enjoyed myself but definitely go for the grilled..lol!

It seems like a place locals go to drink, but not necessarily eat. Nonetheless, we were there and hungry, so ordered a few items. We tried the seafood mofongo, conch salad, and red snapper. The seafood mofongo was some of the best mofongo I had on the island. I enjoyed the seafood, but especially liked the little chicarron bits that were smashed into the mofongo. The red snapper was also huge and very shareable and paired well with hot sauce. Overall, we enjoyed the food and found the staff to be very friendly.
