    Steak and Cuban Fufu
    Spencer Z.

    Excellent food. Loved the shrimp and mamposteado rice. The steak was also great. Cuban Fufu was pretty good. All around great food. Would certainly return.

    a plate of fish and rice

    The best meal I had in all of Vieques...excellent food and drinks! Red snapper was phenomenal.

    El Canon (fried pork) - dry and chewy

    Two stars because the drinks were decent. The service left a lot to be desired. It wasn't the friendly greeting and treatment we received everywhere else on Vieques. I ordered Gallito. $23 for two small pieces of unseasoned grilled chicken, with plain white rice, and a small bowl of beans. Not what is pictured on Yelp. We also ordered the fried pork which was dry and chewy. Beike Bistro across the street was much better! I recommend skipping El Local unless you're just coming for drinks.

    Coconut dessert and their coffee creme brûlée -
    Debbie V.

    This place was absolutely delicious. We ordered the malecón (fried whole snapper with churrasco and a mashed potato, spicy churrasco) - so good! We also ordered el chuleton (tender pork chop with yellow rice and green beans) - absolutely delicious. We also ordered the two desserts on the menu and didn't leave a single spoonful left. I overindulged and it was worth it. The bartender made us amazing cool drinks. Definitely recommend and will visit again when back on Vieques. Thank you!

    Skirt steaks. Super tender
    Joel P.

    Excellent food. We ordered the lobster and crab turnovers and they were awesome. For the main course we got the skirt steaks, and they were very tender. They even brought us quenepas from a tree at the back of the restaurant. The coffee flan was also really good. Highly recommended

    I went with my partner while vacationing in Vieques. It was easily the best restaurant we ate at. Everything we ordered was delicious.

We were seated right away with friendly staff . We ordered fruit juice (mango and watermelon) and got them right away. They were excellent and super cold (maybe too much ice and not enough drink).

Slaw was good and pulled pork was great. Corn is a hard no. Chicken was okay (best we've had in the island). Pork taco plate was very good.

This place was short staffed big time, ambiance was subdue early evening. Food took forever to arrive. Pretty good parking. 1 bathroom of the 2 was unusable. Nice people working there though.

    Great place by the water to grab lunch or dinner!…read more We came for lunch and tried the empanadas. The vegetarian one was our favorite, and had great flavors! The ginger limeade was also very tasty, and we grabbed a bottle of it on our way out to enjoy the rest of the day! They even gave use cups of ice and lids/straws for the road, very helpful. Nice and laid back place, you order at the counter and then they bring out the food. No rush, nice to sit and relax and enjoy the view!

    Restaurante Bili is definitely a very popular restaurant, in a bustling part of town; and it tends…read moreto be busy each and every day (for dinner) that they are open!! So, I say all this to say - make sure to make a reservation if you'd like to avoid a long wait &/or disappointment with there not being a table available. We were extremely lucky to have gotten a table with a relatively short wait on a busy evening. Likely because it was within the last hour of the restaurant's opening!! Now - on to the best part... the FOOD! The creamy pumpkin soup with an arepa was really delicious!!! Full of flavour, prepared with passion and love and I would definitely go back for more! For our mains, my sister and I decided to both have the seasonal fresh caught fish with Puerto Rican yellow rice - YUMMMM! My only regret is that the fish was not big enough... I would have loved MORE! Overall this was a great dining experience.
