It has an interesting vibe. This is not the same as the Kalizo Kiosko on Yelp, though it is somewhat of a reincarnation, per our server. A partially open-air restaurant, it sits on the corner of the street where several boat excursions meet so there was a decent mix of locals and vacationers. Very relaxing atmosphere.
For starters, we ordered 2 apps: The grilled octopus is served on mashed yuca and is delicious w/good flavors - warning: no mistaking you are eating octopus tentacle. We also tried the Puertorrican Rice Croquettes (5) which is a are filled with rice, stewed beans, sofrito, and spices all mixed together. Hit the spot! But for a table of 3 the two appetizers together were filling. For dinner, the Red Snapper Fillet as well as the Churrasco (skirt steak), both ordered with a side of arroz y habichuelas were super flavorful! The Shrimp with a side of risotto was ok. The shrimp showed up but really didn't impress so the gandules risotto had to carry the dish. Nothing to write home about. For beverages, the Passion Fruit Mojitos were mixed perfectly - and we saw several rounds of Margaritas and Pina Coladas being served. Bourbon is available but they couldn't make Old fashions (not on the menu) because they had no bitters.
Service was very Island friendly. As with most restaurants, it isn't about speed, and English is a true second-language so best to be patient, sit back and enjoy.
A great, relaxing dinner. read more
