    Food was excellent, service was good. Highly recommend getting the lobster with shrimp. We will be going back before we leave PR. Our kids loveeeed the rice and beans.

    Where do I start? We're looking for a place to eat local food. The employees are very accommodating, we asked alot of their menus in our broken Spanish. Gabriel, the cook/chef explained as much as he can but the end, we got it down to the red snappers, lobster, white & yellow rice, mofongo & plantain! They gave cheese empanadillas!!! Service is awesome, ambiance so authentic local vibes..local hang out for happy hours!!! Worth it & I recommend it whoever visiting Palmas Del Mar or Humacao!!!!

    Mojito!

    Nice vibe , strong dinks .Great fish ...i would stick to the fish , i was not a fan of " carne frita " service was a bit slow , but the ambiance and the drink made up for it . The ambiance is very local .this place us hard to find but very busy , it was a sign that it was good ..please make a Stop here , I highly recommend..but please be patient it was Tuesday and the place was hopping...

    Food was awesome, phenomenal, and outstanding. The fish, shrimp, and octopus were fresh and cooked to perfection. This establishment received one star due to the owners misrepresentation of services. When our party of four arrived and asked to see a menu he said " we don't have a written menu but I will tell you what we serve" after his presentation he said i will give you a complementary sample platter to help make your decision. At the end of the night we were charged over thirst dollars for the sample platter. If budget is important make sure to ask for cost up front.

    If your in the mood for great local food, this is the place. 5 stars for Food and service excellent! Had the red snapper ( chillo) whole and my husband had the conch WOW!! Didn't give five stars because it isn't the nicest place no frills and no ambiance. Would definitely come back. We had both plates and two drinks total ticket $38.

    Typical chinchorro-style restaurant

    Good food, good service, friendly people, and cold beer. I travel to PR quite a bit for work and I like to go to these places like El Ikokal as much as I can. This is a fantastic alternative to crappy restaurants like Chili's. No menu, just whatever they happen to have in the fridge at the time with the typical list of complementos. Helps if you know a little Spanish sometimes. I like their fish most, and snapper best. The pulpo is really good too. A plate of food and a few drinks is less than $20. Really though, this is one of the better chinchorros in the area. My favorite used to be Tano's in Las Piedras but it's been closed for a while...

    Wow. No se ni por donde empezar. No se si reírme o molestarme y nunca volver…read more Me hablaron súper bien del lugar, pero después de hoy veo que eso es solo por que el lugar está cerca de las canchas de tenis y no hay más nada en el area y por que es un sitio "trendy" para ver y que te vean. Si fuese por el servicio solamente, éste lugar no estaría abierto aún. Llegamos a eso de las 9-9:30 y había gente. Hace un calor allí que no se aguanta, los abanicos están ubicados no-estratégicamente y no ventila el área. Había que salir al frente cerca del árbol para coger señal y aire por que en el gazebo atrás no hay ninguna de las dos. Nos sentamos donde desocuparon la otra parte del grupo media hora antes, y la mesa aún sucia, todo ese tiempo había pasado y no la habían limpiado aún. Nos sentamos y a pesar que el muchacho en atendernos era amable, aún así el servicio es pésimo. Otra muchacha mesera, limpiando la mesa del lado con cara montá, y tiro el contenido de los vasos a las matas desde súper lejos, como molesta y loca por irse y desde acá se le escuchaba respirando hondo y suspirando (annoyed), montando las cosas en su bandeja de mala gana; se veía a leguas. Al fin ordenamos y el muchacho antento y contestando preguntas y todo. El momento en el que se viró y se fue, pasaron al menos 15-20mins sin nada llegar. Me da curiosidad de la tardanza, y era que el grupo de empleados allí se reunieron todos en la barra para brindar shots, como si estuvieran de jangeo. Cool que tengan compañerismo, pero ignorando patronos esperando un montón, mesas sucias, etc? Los precios no hacen sentido. Añádele a eso, que trajeron los platos cada 20-25 minutos para la misma mesa. Alguien pidió ensalada caprese con prosciutto que salió en 5 mins. La próxima pidió Salmón con vegetales, que se tardó como 30mins. Mi comida se tardó ~1 hora o más en llegar. Yo vine a comer después de las 10:30. Esto por un plato fácil de hacer (un lugar eficiente hace food prep), que además les quedó sabrío, soso, flavorless. Las salsas mediocres, un chispito de mayoketchup y mayonesa (ew), no había sal ni pimienta en las mesas (para tostones o lo que sea). El muchacho jamás volvió, alguien tuvo que ir a pedir la cuenta. Lo mejor ahí fue el jugo de tamarindo, y la ensalada caprese (que no requiere cocinarlo). Tienen suerte que no hay mucho en el área para poderse salir con las suyas. A la próxima, primero me voy a la pescadería aunque esté más lejos.

    We have been to Volea many times since it opened a couple of years ago. On ocassions, we've taken…read moreguests. Always great. Everyone we know, agrees. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Palmas. Quality of food, value, live music, good service and great for families. Reccomend reservations.
