Great sit-down restaurant located at the very end of the Luquillo Kiosks. As an appetizer, I ordered a lobster turnover. It was filled with generous pieces of fresh lobster - highly recommend. I also ordered the mofongo with seafood and it was amazing value -- large portion with a heaping pile of a variety of seafood for a little over $20. Highly recommend stopping by if you're hungry!! read more

La Parrilla - Paella, fried sweet plantains, and veggies - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

After a 3 hour wait for our meal, the food was just ok. We were told the wait for a table would be an hour- that was ok, but after 1 1/2 hours we went to the check-in desk only to find that they were letting others in before us. Once we were sat, it took a while to have a waiter come over and he warned us that our meals would take an hour. We should have left, but we were hungry. We waited another 11/2 hours for our entrees. At this point we were cold, hangry, and ready to leave, but our food finally came out. Our waiter was considerate and helpful about vegetarian meals, but the restaurant was so busy, the service was not attentive. Would not recommend. Not sure why this restaurant is recommended by our hotel. read more

Huge portions. I had paella. So full of seafood. I tried to eat just the seafood and less rice and still couldn't finish my plate.

Service was absolutely putrid. We got here and waited for a ridiculous amount of time. Finally got seated and our order was taken. Roughly 2 generations later our appetizers finally got to the table. They were unbearably mid and that was only followed up by our steak being cooked to an internal of what only can be described as freshly killed. The 5 star reviews have to be bots because there's no way anyone could have a good experience here. read more

Stuffed lobster here looks yummy. It's one of the few places opened for lunch at the luquillo kiosks. It's at the end of the kiosks here in Luquillo. Mostly outside seating. Before the patio are tables, but it's for waiting only. If they served these tables they could get more folks through. They have a few tables inside as well. Tanks full of lobster. It was a 2 hour wait or so tonight. One hour for a table and one hour for the food to come out. Better to come during lunch. Will try for another time then... read more

It's always a treat to eat here, I haven't had a bad experience. A few notes: -It's always super busy pretty much every day, so plan accordingly -It's on the more expensive end as far as PR food goes; probably expect to pay $40ish per plate (or more) -Seafood is always a banger -Expect to wait a while after you order your food on busy nights...literally probably 45+ minutes for your food. You've been warned. -The food is definitely Puerto Rican but not your typical beach fare; go to the opposite end of the kiosks if you want that (fried food). Always love to eat at La Parrilla. read more

Great restaurant on Loquilla Beach. Dine inside or outside under a covered area overlooking the ocean.we stopped in for lunch. The menu has a variety of offerings including authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. We had a variety of seafood entrees from grouper, fried and stuffed red snapper. The food was excellent. The seafood Alcapurria was delicious. They served with their special Homemade hot sauce. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was great. The waiter assisted us with making our lunch choices. The portions are pretty big and it's moderately priced. We dined inside near the air conditioning with a window views of the beach. It's a great place for group dining. One important note as they will only split the check two ways for large parties. Overall, I definitely recommend. read more

La Parrilla - Modo go de yuca con pollo - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

The best Puerto Rican restaurant in Luquillo. This is our stop on the tour and glad we picked this restaurant! Everything is good and delicious. Location: It is located on Luquillo, PR. The location is just right at the beach. There is a waiting list to get inside the restaurant, you have to time yourself cause you might run out of time if you are on a tour. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. The problem is it takes a while to get our food. We waited for an hour to get our food, maybe it is too busy. But we ended up taking out our food rather than dining in cause we have our tour that is ahead of us and we can't stay longer. Other than that the servers were nice. Food: All that we ordered was good, too bad that we couldn't dine in and we ate it at home. SAMPLE BORICUA: all the appetizers are here so get this! It has fried yuca, fried cheese and many more. MOFONGO with SEAFOOD: omg it was so delicious! The mofongo is well seasoned and it has a lot of seafood on it! The sauce is delish as well. PAELLA: omg another favorite, the rice is well cooked and again a lot of seafood on it. FILETE DE MERO: the grouper fish is soft and the sauce is so buttery, very tasty! PINA COLADA: had better pina colada than this, but it was okay at that time. Price rating: 7/10, it was not that bad for the price. Everything was good! Will definitely come back here if I am in Luquillo. Be prepared to wait long and watch your time if you are on a tour. Otherwise everything was delicious. read more

Great stuffed lobster. Then we had quatro leches. Most people have tres leches. It's to die for. Super rich so we could not eat all at

Good service, pleasant staff busy restaurant waited 1+ hours for a table. Food experience: For a restaurant that boasts Lobsters, my Lobster experience was less than memorable. our table ordered( 2): Lobster Stuffed with Seafood Platter, sadly both meals had lobsters that were overcooked, which caused the lobster meat to tough and chewy. and ruined the overall dish. the grouper pieces were probably the only edible part of the whole dish. our table also ordered : Stuffed snapper: good Monfongos ( shrimp): good variety of empanadas : good cheese platter : ok overall experience ok read more

La Parrilla - Langosta Fresca a la Parrilla- Lobster stuffed with seafood - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Tonight was my first night dining out in Puerto Rico after being away for MANY years and the first thing I wanted to have is my all time favorite dish...MOFONGO. A gentleman recommended this place so I had to check it out. For my drink, I had the mango frozen drink (virgin) which was very tasty. As an appetizer, we got the sampler to share that a number of classic fried goodies that Puerto Rico is big on. Now, the main attraction...I got the Mofongo with sweet plantain, jumbo shrimp and covered in holland cheese fondue. I haven't had that combination before so I was intrigued. Man, it was everything I'd hoped it would be!! So delicious! For dessert, I had the 4 leches cake. I wouldn't say it was the best I've had but it pretty up there. Sure, the food was on the expensive side but worth it, I think. The service was decent. Our waiter was pleasant and took care of us. The food took alittle while (not too bad) but it was busy and I was in good company so I didn't mind. It's in a pretty good location. It's right by the ocean so while we were enjoying our meal, we got to listen to the crashing of the waves which was soothing as always. read more

La Parrilla - Yuca mofongo with garlic lobster - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Food and drinks here is ok. Place has been here for years. It's borderline a tourist trap. I've been told to go back and ask for the lobster cream which is not on the menu. I actually did do that but they didn't have lobster that night! I'll try again and then update my review. read more

I had high expectations based on the numerous positive reviews; however, my experience fell short. The server was inattentive and demonstrated a lack of customer service. The quality of the food was disappointing, and I found the owner's professionalism lacking. This has given me a clearer insight into the type of leadership and standards that are reflected among the staff. Sad to see they missed a great opportunity that could have been positive for everyone. Make this a learning opportunity as constructive criticism to work on your customer service. read more

This place was great! As a family of five, we each ordered our own meal. If I would go back, I would suggest we order three meals and share them family style. Portions are huge! We sat in the outdoor portion at night, and it was great. Our table favorite was the shrimp mofongo read more

This place is so unbelievably overpriced and meant only for tourists. Unless you're a rich white person on vacation or just don't care about being scammed then you should not eat here. The food is fine, nothing special. But for the price it's ridiculous. It's not only expensive for Puerto Rico it's one of the more expensive restaurants I've been to. Skip. read more

Mero en salsa d alcaparra y mofongo, divino. Su ensalada incluye granos (no es usual en rests).Estaba bien buena. Aperitivos no ordenamos pero me cuentan que sus alcapurrias son riquísimas. Precios accesibles. Servicio y área excelente (ojo, nos sentamos en el salonsito con aire). read more

Perhaps we caught it on a bad Sunday eve, but the hostess was not having it. We waited for over 30min, and another 10min because we wanted to sit more (inside; closer to the kitchen and lobster tanks). We were finally seated and ordered drinks and an app (which came out relatively quickly). We went to pick our lobsters from the tanks, and NO LIE, they were not served until 1hr later! Although the waiter was MUCH better service oriented than that poor hostess, but it really shouldn't take an entire hour to serve our main dishes. Oh, and if you order the lobster (plain/dressed), make sure you ask for clarified butter (although it claims to come with it). My 'top shelf' margarita was pretty [weak], so I switched to wine. The pricing was great - as the lobsters were fresh. As for ambiance - the place has quite the footprint and can handle a lot of guests - but in this post pandemic world, staffing is clearly an issue everywhere. Have patience friends, the food is worth it. read more

La Parrilla is at the end of the Luquillo kiosks and the restaurant sits right on the beach. The service was quick, but they were doing repairs on the building when we were eating, which ruined the ambiance and we couldn't hear the ocean. Food wise, everything was delicious! We started with the appetizer platter to have a sample of their starters. I had the steak and mushroom mufungo, which I loved. Two other people at my table also got the mufungo, one got seafood and the other shrimp. The sauces on all 3 mufungos were different. While I liked mine, the rest of my table did not like the sauce that came with their dishes (one was a Cajun sauce and the other a white caper sauce). read more

The food was the star here! My fiance ordered the fried red snapper and got to pick it out of a cooler full of red snapper in all sizes. He picked a 3.3 pound fish and they cooked it to perfection, perfectly seasoned and came with mamposteao rice. I got grouper stuffed with seafood, and salad and fries, which was yummy too. The kioskos look kind of run down, but they are busy every day and it's a beautiful setting on the beach. Would definitely come back again! read more

The service was great, we were celebrating my mom birthday and she wanted lobster on top of that the weather was not that great, we had rain so we came here because the place we were staying was close to here. My boys got sick from the Alfredo pasta. I ordered the chicken mofongo and I got sick. Lobster was great here overall everything was great until the boys got food poisoning. The place is not fancy looking it's an open space view of the sea. read more

Came here for early dinner around 4 pm cuz where we were going it was close. We saw they have lots of seafood. This place was somewhat busy there were dancing and music at the beach you can watch. I been having good pina colada at the last place so I order it here. It wasn't as great I barely taste the rum like it had no alcohol. So I was disappointed but also my husband Jack and coke was not strong. So we were hopping the food would be better. Our server male was so nice he did a good job besides forgetting our water but I reminded him so he brought it. The lobster in a plantain bowl was a ok. The red snapper is really good. I had the huge fried shrimp plate and that was really good and it wasn't small shrimp it was humongous I had to take the rest home Prov eat 3 pc. read more

We came to this restaurant after coming from the rainforest. We were seated quickly. The waiters were friendly. There were a bit busy so some of our second drinks did not occur, but we were not charged for them. It is a nice outdoor area under a tent. However, lots of flies come by when the food is ready. The bathroom was fine. The food was pretty tasty. I loved my lobster empanada. The ribs were huge. My friends were quite pleased even though it was a bit pricey. The mofongo is decent too. Drinks are reasonably priced. The pasta dish as a side was actually really good. You can't go wrong just ordering the pasta by itself. It is definitely a touristy place/menu but it has decent service and food. read more

This place looked great from the roadside. And the reviews were strong. But looks can be deceiving. There wait was 45 min for a 2-seat table - which on a holiday is excusable... but the food we got was cold, over cooked and difficult to eat. And it took another 45 min to arrive. Not the best experience to say the least. It was promising... it just didn't live up to reviews nor expectations. And the last kick in the behind: they don't take Amex! Avoid... we could have gone to Wendy's down the street and been better fed with much less aggravation. read more

Food was superb! Had the beef empanadas. You could tell they were made fresh from hand rolled dough. The crust had fork pressed edges like I made them myself.

first of all the ambiance was not great inside .. metal tables with holes adorned the interior, and it could have looked better. but the food was amazingly delicious. we did have an issue with our server not telling us that the lobster prices on the menu were based on one pound lobsters and that they did not have any one pound lobster left and charged us for 1.5 lb lobsters instead and we did not find that other until we got the check. as you can imagine we were furious especially since we were unable to locate our server to bring it to his attention. My daughter walked to the kitchen and asked or the manager who then came and explained the weight difference. we told him the server never told us that the lobsters were a pound and a half had we known we would have chosen another dish. About 30 minutes later my daughter went back to the kitchen to see what the holdup was and finally she was able to get the price of each lobster adjusted to 1 pound other than this miscommunication, which I think is very important for customers we enjoyed our meal very much. If we are ever in the area again, this experience will not hinder me from trying them again because it was that delicious. read more

I eat a plant based life so it's tough sometimes to follow the crowd. They all consumed lobsters "at a great price" they said. Atmosphere was fun as it's right on the beach and it was a gorgeous night. My rice and veggie dish was great. Wine was awesome. ( A lot of fried stuff there) read more

A one-word summary of La Parilla: Fresco. We enjoyed dining on the patio with views of the ocean and fresh air while eating food that was equally fresh and tasty.

This was the best restaurant without question during our short long weekend trip to PR (see profile for other places visited). Prices were reasonable, view was incredible by the water, and all the seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cookedz Mero pasa (5/5) - THE BEST grouper I've ever had. Fish was perfectly cooked, soft and not dry. Sauce was slightly creamy and garlicky but not overpowering, generous w/ onions. Ceviche (5/5) - Fresh, zesty Octopus salad (3/5) - Probably the more forgettable of the three dishes, nothing bad but nothing special. read more
