    ceviche de corazón de Palma

    The ceviche de corazón de Palma is appetizing. Bacalao guisado is a bit different from what I expected. It's like a fish tomato sauce with a bit of corn and pepper in it and eat with the cornmeal fritters and yuca. The sauce is a bit salty but it's good with the fried food. Service is ok. I was not even done with my appetizer and they served the entree already.

    Sandpaper, drywall- oh I mean carne frita y tostones :)

    So disappointed. I frequent this place for pickup orders and l get the same thing every single time. The last 3-4 times, the quality was just not there. I get the carne frita + tostones and when I first got it, it was dressed nicely with oil- I couldn't make out what ingredients were used but it was delicious. These last few times, no dressing at all. Dry ass tostones, dry ass carne and raw red onions with no dressing. This is how they treat a frequent patron and it's pretty gross. l've noticed a trend on vieques of SHITTY service and it's unfortunate. There's a curly blonde guy there when I go and I always get this unwelcoming vibe from him. I call Vieques NYC #2 because it's absolutely gentrified to the point where the magic of the island is lost because the woke mob and the middle aged whites want to experience "island life" and change every aspect to their liking. Sorry for the diatribe- but vieques is now a sad sight and has lost its soul. I certainly wouldn't come here again- at least not on my own dime. I can't even get the courtesy of all the ingredients I'm paying for in my own damn meal.

    I can't believe I'm the first to review this gem! El Plaza is a relative newcomer to the north side, started by the former chef of El Blok. The cocktail list is solid - I especially recommend the Delux featuring Crab Island 3-year rum. We ordered the red snapper (a special) and the kan kan (a massive pork chop), which was served with a rissotto version of rice and beans. So much delicious food! Portions are quite generous. Service was laid back and amiable, and the space is really cool- an historic arsenal that's had a lot of reuses but lends itself perfectly to its current use as an open-air restaurant and bar. Such a great addition to the plaza and to the Vieques restaurant scene! NOTE: Google maps led us (and others we met there) to the wrong location. El Plaza is on the corner of the plaza, next to City Hall. Google will take you past it to a house!

    Good, but definitely not as good as equivalent island restaurants. Cool, atmosphere, and good service. There's nothing great about food.

    The food is great! But sadly the services doesn't follow it, if you're a local or hispanic they make you feel not welcome
