    I THINK the one I went to today on Aug 10, 2021 is about 500 feet away from The Surfing Turtle (on the same street).

    **I THINK the address on Yelp might be incorrect, but I'm not sure.** I added a photo of where I think it might actually be and circled the location green. This doesn't look like much, but it's GREAT! Super affordable and only about 500 feet from The Surfing Turtle. The sandwiches were substantial. This was a great little breakfast stop in an area that seems to be a "food desert." A mix of locals and tourists where there. There was also someone always in line ordering, so that was a good sign. We ordered the ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches. There were simple and delicious. They have waffles too! Looks like they open at 5am! I saw they had coffee, but we didn't try it. And....IT WAS OPEN! Big bonus!

    Food was insanely good, prices were insanely cheap, cashier was extremely cool. We came upon this place by accident and we're so glad we did! The food had that homemade feeling that satisfied our cravings for something greasy and delicious (greasy in the best possible way here, folks!)

    Desayuno from this place is legit and what a steal for $3! Also tried empanadas and also very tasty. I will definitely visit them again.

    This place is legit and what a steal for $3 the desayuno plate. I highly recommend them!

    All i could think about one day in Luquillo was Pastelillos! I sent my husband on a goose chase around Luquillo looking for a local small place for pastelillos. We were driving all around town looking at signs trying to figure out where to stop and stumbled across this place! The best discovery! Pastelillos were so good and piping hot becuase they just made them for us when we got there! We actually came back the next day for more. Each time we got 10, half chicken and half beef. My favorite was the beef and my husbands favorite was the chicken! The Owner and his son were both working and both very friendly! My husband was talking to them for awhile while i was in the car with the kids! We also had their rice,beans and pork the one day with pastelillos! My picky 2 year old son kept asking for more it was that good! Such a small place and easy to overlook but please don't it will be worth it! :)

    What an amazing spot! The restaurant offers beautiful beach views and an electric, vibrant…read moreatmosphere--you can really feel the energy from the music and the crowd. It's the kind of place you don't want to leave! Parking can be a bit challenging, so make sure to arrive early and give yourself time to find a spot--it's absolutely worth it. The staff was fantastic--friendly, courteous, and able to handle our large group without any issues. We ordered a variety of dishes to try as much as possible, and everything was delicious. Some of our favorites included: * Mofongo with shrimp * Alcapurrias * Shark bites (a must--especially if it's been a while since you've had them!) And don't skip the drinks--they definitely deliver: * Long Island Iced Tea * Margaritas * Mojitos Great food, great vibes, and a great experience overall. Definitely a place you have to visit!

    We came here for food based on Reddit recs haha. Glad we chose this place! The food was pretty…read moregood, and we loved the energy and the live band here... but what really set this place apart was how friendly the staff was! When we arrived, the main room was packed, and the few open tables were reserved. The host asked us if we'd be okay sitting in another room. I explained that we're visiting, and we wouldn't mind waiting for a table to open up where the live band section is. Upon hearing this, they were nice enough to accommodate us and make it happen. Special shoutout to our server! Unfortunately, I forget her name (it's been a month), but I remember she had this AMAZING makeup on, with lots of colorful beads in beautiful patterns across her face, as well as lovely hands with really fun nails and rings. She was so lovely and friendly, and she really made our night! If you see this, thank you :)

    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.

    The Paseo de la Pared might be the best cocktail I've ever had. The service was very friendly,…read morealthough there were several instances where 1 person of our group of 5 was left out when things were delivered to our table. The waitress (who was super cool) had to go and remind the bar to make my wife's drink. Then, she had to go and ask the kitchen why my entree hadn't come out when everyone else had been served 5 minutes prior. The food was good (especially the churrasco), but this was a very expensive meal. Like, "Holy hell is that correct?!"-when they bring you the check level expensive. We would go back for those drinks, but I would need to sell a couple of non-vital organs before we could afford to go back for a full meal.
