Food and service was very good. Vibe was great. Very clean and the decor was not gawdy.

Oh man! This is a must try spot! The vibe here is fun, and the food is delicious. We also enjoyed people watching on the street and just hanging out here. read more

We came based on Yelp reviews, had lobster crochets, good flavor, ordered paella, thought it would be typical. But not close. Chaffing dish, rubber calamari, overcooked shrimp and mussels. Other dish was MahiMahi, overcooked and dry. Expected better. Busy place by no excuse for poor execution. read more

Ambiance is great near the ocean, loved the sound of waves in the background. Out of all the orders I loved the fish and sangria. Service was good, got hot sauce as requested but they could improve on the wait time for food after the order is placed. read more

Plenty of parking, beautiful view of the ocean from the restaurant, outdoor dining. We were seated right away. The lobster empanadas were good and full of meat. The stuffed jalapeños needed to be fried longer but overall delicious. The seafood stuffed lobster was the star of the show for sure! It was big and very filling. I recommend sharing with someone. read more

The guy who took my order to go asked us to wait outside the restaurant, even though I was waiting at the bar for the Pina colada. He just moved his hands shooting of us out the restaurant. It was very rude, and I am not recommending this restaurant. read more

Great place for a bite. The Pina Colada was refreshing as was the beer! The Mofungo with shrimp was excellent and seasoned well with wonderful depth of flavors and Chillo Frito perfectly fried and still moist and tender. What really set La Parilla apart from the many other restaurants we sampled is the fried pork appetizer. Served just plain on a plate but had crispy exterior and soft and juicy interior. Other eateries offered chewy and tough limp of pork. Fantastic location and view if you manage to get a seaside view. Staff is friendly and helpful in giving suggestions from their menu. Checked in during our meal a few times without being overly attentive. Get here early as the parking situation is a bit difficult. read more

The food and service was amazing! I highly recommend!. Our friends got steaks, which we tried and loved. Great cocktails, too. Prices were very reasonable as well. read more

This was my first dining experience in PR and was a great first experience dining near the beach. This place is located in a mini strip mall type of place called Kiosk and has indoor and outdoor dining. We began with some refreshing and yummy cocktails with a nice little punch. We had multiple cocktails and are were good. Especially nice was an extra round because the server forgot an item. We ordered the combo platter that had all the traditional fried item. I think they were tasty but way too many fried items for my liking. My main entree was a very tasty Shrimp Mofongo. The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. The mongo was very tasteful and enjoyable and was pretty fulfilling portion. The overall ambience, staff friendly and energetic, tasty good food, and amazing cocktails make my first dining experience in PR a great experience. It's a must try. read more

This place is definitely busy and the place to eat when it comes to the Luquillo Kiosk. Offering both inside and outside seating with beautiful almost sitting on the ocean. Service was friendly; however, VERY SLOW when it came to the food, the drinks however are fast. Drinks like the mojito and the margarita were not as good. The food was in fact amazing! Large portions and you are definitely getting some yummy Puerto Rican food and the seafood depending on what you get is definitely fresh. read more

As a solo diner, I sat at the bar, and the service was a one maybe because I was the only one sitting at the bar, but the young man was very attentive and nice. The ambience is kinda loud, but it's not overbearing sat outside, the bar was literally right in front of the beach and that was heaven from my senses. OK so the food I got the stuff lobster. I took one star off because the lobster should've been taken off the heat about three minutes before they did other than that everything was good the lobster was good it could have been little bit more tender. Just a tad read more

Super disappointed with this place, I will NOT come back any more! At first, we wanted to eat lobster, and pictures on yelp attract me to visit this place. I have to say, this place is so damm expensive! They offered langosta fresca a la parrilla ($45) on that night, although the taste was good, the food did not wroth this price. I really don't recommend paella de mariscoc, I think this was the worst paella I had in Puerto Rico. (I known paella took a long time to prepare. While I waited for a table, I asked the front desk to order one for me so that I do not have to wait that long. I explained 3 times, and that person still rejected me and kept telling me the seat will be ready soon). One of my friends ordered pineapple rice, he thought that was also ok. Here is the worst part, the service was SO DAMM BAD! After we had a seat, our waiter came after 5 mins, told us he would be back soon, then he came back after 10 mins. We waited over 1 hour for food! When we checked with him, he said "the steak need to be cut and will be here in 5 mins". Man, I did not even order steak. Then we waited for another 10-15 mins to get our food. He did not refill water for us on time, and he did not come to ask us anything. When we wanted to check out, he never ever brought us the bill, we had to WALK to him and ASKED him to check out immediately. Since the service was way too bad, we wanted to pay fewer taxes, but then they charged us 15% tips in our bill. WOW, what a "good" restaurant. read more

Great food. Good service and no frills atmosphere. Portions are a decent size perfect for sharing There's parking on the side of the restaurant but this place is busy. The mojitos were strong. But strong good. I will be back for the whole fish dish. A note: the sampler is good but there is a lot of fried food. read more

It's a really cool stop right on the beach if you can't decide what to eat or want to drink. There were literally 20 different little restaurants and bars along the walk way. This is a cool restaurant at the end of the street that was phenomenal but be warned the wait times can be long! However the rest of the strip is no fine dining experience! Flip flops and a shirt or a bathing suit is enforced. read more

Five stars on all of the above. We came in a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The staff was helpful and friendly, food was delicious (we at seafood mofungo and ceviche), and drink were reasonable. read more

Nice spot at the end of the kiosk shops. The best thing about this restaurant were their passion fruit mojitos they are unreal. I ordered the grouper which came with a side and i chose mofongo. The grouper was amazing but the mofongo was just okay. My friend got the mofongo with steak and it was not good. The service was slow as hell. Honestly, i didn't find too many good places to eat in Luquillo, but this place is a solid, if not slightly pricey option. read more

Really miss the pineapple fried rice here. And mofongo of course. During our short stay in Puerto Rico, we visited La Parrilla at least twice. I have also recommended this place to whoever reached out to me for recommendations for Puerto Rico. I will definitely visit La Parrilla again in my next visit. read more

I saw some reviews while we were waiting to be seated saying this was a super touristy spot and the food wasn't that great and they would try to upsell you on the lobster.. which is what I thought I would get. For appetizer- I had the tostones rellenos de longasta 10/10 Thanks to the server for the recommending them. For my entree I had deep fried red snapper filled with octopus, shrimp and other seafood. 10/10 For this dish alone and the service, I would return... to Puerto Rico and to find this restaurant. read more

Had the opportunity to come and eat to this restaurant twice with my wife and children, both times the food and service were on point. Price is acceptable for the quality of the food. You have the option to sit outdoors or indoors with A/C. I would definitely come back to this restaurant next time we visit PR. read more

Great grouper , also lobster was yummy, service was terrific, love the beachside restaurant. Outside patio dining was wonderful.

This is my favorite spot in Luquillo- their delicious drinks and fresh fish, I always make it a point to share this place with friends. read more

This is one of the best spots in Rio Grande! It's in the first kiosk along the highway. The tables are in the back overlooking the beach. Everyone was friendly and the service was great. We started with a couple beers. We had queen snapper for the special. It was pricey at around $25/pound and we split it. It had to be one the fish meals I have ever had. It had a slightly sweet, slightly spicy rub and was grilled whole. Perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth. It comes with a side and we chose the grilled sweet plantains. Love those! It also came with a small side salad. We went back the next day and did the same again. Worth the price. You can't get fish like this in the midwest. read more

La Parrilla - Grilled Queen Snapper - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

This place is so good that we went there two nights in a row. The place gets busy in the evening but the service is great and not once did we feel rushed. The main attraction here are the lobsters, which come in different combinations of full lobster vs tail and stuffed vs not. I got the seafood stuffed one which was excellent. It's very creamy, though, so beware if you don't tolerate dairy well. The first night, I got a whole red snapper, which tasted phenomenal especially with the hot sauce they offer. The appetizers are excellent. This place doesn't skimp or charge an arm and a leg when it comes to the lobster/seafood options. Our favorite was a mini quiche like appetizer with a plantain shell and a lobster, crab, or chicken filling. I would highly recommend the lobster and crab options. Overall, a really great restaurant, and I'll definitely be returning if I'm back in Luquillo. read more

La Parrilla - Lobster topped with seafood mix and rice and beans - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

We were so happy that we decided to grab dinner at La Parrilla during our short trip to Luquillo. We visited at 6PM on a Sunday and there was a ~30-60 minute wait. I don't believe they take reservations - you just put your name in when you arrive. We loved that the restaurant faces the beach - they have an upstairs that we were hoping to be seated at, but the wait was even longer. Our service was quick and all of the food was excellent. The servings here are massive - my husband and I could have easily split one, but we were happy that we tried two entrees. The seafood paella was some of the best I've ever had and the grouper filet was phenomenal. Both dishes were served with a side salad, dressed with beans and tomatoes as well as a choice of a side. I chose the tostones and my husband ordered the "coconut dumplings." The dumplings had a slight sweetness and reminded us of a savory donut - definitely worth a try! We also really loved the yuca appetizer (you can order a half size which I'd suggest if you also plan to get an entrée). La Parrilla is known for the lobster but the other dishes are just as wonderful. We would love to visit again! read more

Party of 4 after hiking Angelito Trail El Yunque Rain Forest. Lobster tail was $75 overcooked and sadly disappointing as it was recommended by someone who is a foodie. The sweet plantains were delicious and a favorite of two, the other two preferred the other style. Snapper was delicious as were the sides. The chicken with creole sauce was a favorite as was the bbq chicken. We probably shouldn't have had the sampler platter as it filled us up too much after hiking. The red sauce was the favorite Our waiter was attentive, we were first customers of the day. It's a very popular restaurant with a beautiful view. read more

This spot was everything!! From the drinks, appetizers, entrees, service and ambience....Superb! The Fish Nuggets and lobster "baby empanadas" were delicious!! I chose to sit outside and the view was the ocean. It was so serene and peaceful. I have no complaints of this restaurant AT ALL! Please note, if you sit outside you will have birds surrounding you and obviously other bugs like flies. So if that bothers you, chose the indoor setting. read more

We had catch of the day (Wahoo) with mixed vegetables. It was very flavorful and the sauce was a nice complement to it. The waitress was very knowledgeable and patient with us, she offered so many different choices for sauces! She gave us great recommendations. The place was very cool too. Nice boardwalk views and rooftop. read more

La Parrilla - Catch of the day (Wahoo) with mixed vegetables - Latin American Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Note: I came here because of all the good reviews but it looks like this is a designated lunch stop for day excursions. When dropping people off for lunch, the touring company tells people this is the best place to eat. I do not believe their rating is organic. The good: They're right off beach so you'll most likely get a good view no matter where you sit. The drinks were good. The portions were generous. The bad experience: I left feeling like a dumb tourist who was completely bamboozled. Be careful of the upselling and the lack of customer service. It could just be the waiter. I asked for the lobster with seafood. The waiter said they're out of lobster but had the lobster tail with butter and cream. I said okay and he asked if I wanted the lobster tail grilled, which I did. He then asked if I wanted seafood with it because it was really good. I said sure thinking this is what I originally asked for and he said wasn't available. The food came out and it wasn't a lobster tail, as you can see in the photo. I asked the waiter what this was, and he said it's what I ordered. I told him I thought I ordered grilled lobster? He said they grilled the lobster and took it out and put it in the seafood for me. I said this isn't what I wanted. He then tells me I should eat it because I will like it. I did not. I had a few bites and when he came back to check on us, he told me you don't like it. I agreed. It wasn't so much that it wasn't what I ordered, but the quality of food. Everything was over cooked. The shrimp, the grouper, the lobster. It was extremely chewy and dry even though it was in a cream sauce. He didn't apologize for the misunderstanding, he didn't do anything but ignore our table for the rest of the meal. When the check came, I was completely floored. My dish alone was $72! I think the one thing that made the experience even more disappointing was the lack of conscious by the waiter. He upsold the hell out of me. I hope this is a lesson for everyone to be clear about what you're asking for. read more
