    Chapin (Fish) so good!
    ILIA A.

    So good! One of the best Empanadillas de Chapin (Fish) that I have ever had! Very well seasoned! Bacalaito had good flavor also. Nice customer service. Cheap prices! Full Bar! Outdoor vibes, beach a block away, across the street!

    Shrimp empanada, crab alcapurria and bacalaito.

    Given more days in Luqillo, I would return every day to try all their food…read more I started with the arepas de coco - very well fried, soft, doughy puffs complemented with a guava sauce. They were addictive, it was hard to not eat all of them. They would also be a good dessert - reminiscent of beignets, but with less oil and sugar. For main I had the churrasco skirt steak with rice of the day. It was a generous portion of steak topped with a delicious churrasco fragrant with garlic. The rice was well seasoned and perfectly cooked texture. Server was enthusiastic about the food and providing suggestions. Though I suspect everything on the menu is delicious. Guests at all the tables around me raved about their meals. Indoor seating is cozy and comfortable. There's a small bar with counter seating.

    We stopped at La Fonda for an early lunch, and we are so glad we did. The service was amazing, and…read morethe food was even better! The decor is very Puerto Rican, and the vibe was perfect! It wasn't too busy, so we were able to chat with our server about local places to check out. We ordered the Can-Can pork with the rice and beans. Soooo good! Also, my drink was beautiful and tasty! Definitely stop in and see them if you're ever on the island!

    Talk about a hidden gem. This place is a local favorite located in Loiza just past the neighboring…read morePinones beach front strip. We got recommended here from our hotel concierge and she did not disappoint. This place is highly frequented by the neighborhood regulars but it's hard to hide such a delightful gem like this. So not surprisingly you have a steady stream of tourists who are constantly trickling in the entire time as well. The ambiance is a lot to do with the experience here. It is all outdoor seating with 5-6 different spots you can choose to sit. The seats and tables are set up in bare minimum style and they focus more on the food and the local chill vibe they flow through this place. Apparently, the food we ordered were mostly street food appetizers. This was mainly because they had so many delectable options in the app section that we ended up solely ordering a wild medley of their assorted apps. We tried their Risotto & Chorizo Croquettes, Stuffed Fried Plaintains (Spicy Crab, Beef, & Shrimp), Spicy Crab Eggrolls, & Fish Tacos. Everything was good but the Shrimp Stuffed Plaintains were the most delicious. The bonus to this place is that they rock upbeat electronic music like an upbeat lounge you'd come across in New York or LA. It doesn't hurt that you are seconds away from an unoccupied beach front where you can dig your toes in the soft sand and the cool water splashes up to your ankles all afternoon long. It is a mini paradise spot that you must check out.

    When I go to the Piñones area, I don't usually drive past into Loiza. Well, it seems I was missing…read moreout. This place is located right off the street and by the ocean. We parked and sat ourselves and were quickly told the kitchen would not open for an hour - that explains why there were no customers. That was okay and there is nothing wrong with sipping on a few mojitos while the stove warms up. The drinks were good and our waitress was fantastic and very helpful. We ordered several food items to try and enjoyed each one. By the time we left, the place was packed. Contra Viento y Mearea is now on my list.
