Thank God we walked all the way to the end! After our El Yunque honeymoon adventure, we ended up here. This food was SO D**N GOOD!!! I cannot emphasize enough how full we were after devouring our entire plates. So much flavor, so much culture, sooo good!! The drinks were just ok but the food lol the food was everything. We still daydream about the red snapper and rice & beans. The view in the tiki bar area is the icing on the cake. Looking forward to our next visit!
Located at the Luquillo Kiosks. This was one of the nicer restaurants with ocean views. They do not take reservations, but we didn't have a wait on a Friday evening. We started off with cocktails - Mai tais and beers. For dinner, I got a beef empanada, rice beans, and the sweet plantains. It was a full meal! My husband got the fresh mahi mahi which came with salad, rice, and beans. The portions are pretty big! Our friends got the chicken stuffed with sweet plantains and the grouper. All good choices. Very chill vibe. Loved the ocean vibes.
SABROSO!!! After a day at the beach, this was a good place to chill and refill. Every single dish we tried hit hard and was so fulfilling. The sampler appetizers were a wonderful way to get ready and try new things. The sweet and savory pork with white rice I had was so tender and sweet and the rice so soft. The red snapper dishes I tasted were so soft and tender and did not taste fishy but taste flavorful. The vanilla and coconut flan was a dream come true - soft, a fantastic flavor on one's palate and wow! And the cortado coffee - don't leave without having it - it's unexplainable. We sat inside with some ac and the view was epic. Our waiter Victor was so kind and helped pick what was best on menu and funny - good dude. Everyone run here - you will refill for the rest of the day.
WOW!!! One of the BEST dinner on the island! Lobster is must have! And the ribeye was perfection!!!!!
Absolutely delicious! We both enjoyed our meals and the ceviche (not pictured). Great ambiance, delicious cocktails, friendly staff, and can't beat the ocean view.
Today was a special day at La Parrilla in La Isla Del Encanto. From the very beginning we were welcomed with with a smile and a sense of happiness. This place was right by the water where you can hear the waves crashing and the food smelling absolutely amazing. The menu was big and our server was super welcoming and helpful. I loved the seating area and how open this establishment was. It felt perfect with the weather and the sounds all around. I have to give a HUGE thank you to the staff who made this night unforgettable and one I will always cherish for the rest of my life. They helped me coordinate my proposal to my better half with smiles and excitement. They made our night special. I will forever be grateful to them and this wonderful place. Now let's get to the food. OMG! ... Our dishes were nothing short of perfectly delicious. I have not had steak in a long time and this was a reminder of how good steak is when is cooked and seasoned perfectly. If you're in Luquillo, you must give this place a try. I will certainly be back here when we make our trip back to Puerto Rico and you should too!
Listen.. this was the longest wait of my life when it comes to a restaurant. I'm talking "questioning my life choices" long. We ended up getting our food to go because we genuinely didn't know if a server would ever appear. Needless to say, service was rough.. long wait to even order drinks, even longer to get them, and everything felt oddly spaced out. The appetizer platter was actually delicious, but by the time it arrived we were practically in a new fiscal year. Maybe sitting inside puts you on the Island Time+ plan? You'd think they'd want to upsell alcoholic drinks, but I guess not. The food I tried later was... fine. Not bad. I asked for rice and beans - got white rice with a cold bean salad situation. Not what I expected. A little pricey, but it is in a very touristy area, so that part tracks. Overall? Too much waiting, not enough wow.
This Area where the restaurant is super cool with a bunch of kiosks to eat at and right off the beach so it has a great view. it's a really popular restaurant so there was a wait time my fried snapper was really tasty but the other fried things we got weren't my favorites. the service was decent but took a while to get our food. the ambience is cool but i wouldn't say this was the best of the best like i was informed
The service here was terrible. I understand there was a party of 16, but our server, Victor, barely seemed to be attending to them either. I asked for water three separate times. The third time, he even asked me what kind of water I wanted--and then never brought it. I ended up getting my appetizer, entrée, and even dessert without ever receiving a single glass of water. We heard to order everything at once because they tend to be slow and forget off the past reviews, but apparently I was supposed to ask for water at the same time too. For reference, I ordered the lobster, red snapper, the sampler plate, and the Cuatro Leche dessert. Unfortunately, the food was just mid--nothing memorable or worth coming back for. To top it off, while I was paying at the front, the table next to me was also leaving a complaint about their experience. It was clear I wasn't the only customer disappointed. Between the poor service and average food, I can't recommend this place.
I actually went here 5 years ago on another trip and so funny we ended up back here haha! I remember last time the food was absolutely BUSSIN and this round did NOT disappoint! We loved everything we ordered including the apps sampler, mofongo, and pineapple rice!
Oscar our server was awesome. He guided us through the menu. Food was good. Some dishes a little under seasoned- surprising but still good overall. Nice open air spot. Mix of tourists and locals.
Great food! I had pineapple rellano and the boys had different versions of shrimp. Oysters were great (pricey, I'll skip next time), service was great, cocktails were awesome, and we had such a lovely time. We'll definitely go back! The tiki bar was the perfect spot for a post sunset meal!
There is a valid reason why it revives so many stars. The staff is awesome. So is the view of the beach. However, by far the best food on my entire trip. From starter to generous and sweet lobster to Mofungo. Even their coffee, I mean espresso is excellent !

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

This place is absolutely one of the best restaurants in the area. Don't matter if you wait, it really worth it. The service is excellent, our waitress, Clarissa, magnificent, love her vibes and the way she treats her customers. The food is a delicacy of gods! Literally the beans cróquets, fish nugget.... everything from appetizers, entrees, and desert, is an amazing experience of art cuisine! Thanks read more

Whether your turning your head for the food, aesthetic, or the people watching you are in for a treat I had the sampler for the appetizer which had a good diversity of pallets to check off the list. The real show stopper though was hands down the Filete De Mero. Where butter, fat, fish, cheese, and fresh flavor meet! It's an incredible dish that is sure to have you on the edge of your seat ready to get to the next bite! I would recommend to any person who is yearning for a fresh fish with incredible flavor balancing. Ps- big enough to split, but you won't want to share it 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

After a long day visiting El Yunque we headed to the Luquillo beach stands to grab some food. Several restaurants were advertising the grilled lobster but this spot had the longest line mixed with locals and tourists so we decided to try it. We did have a wait since they were busy but man it was worth it. My husband and I ordered the Puerto Rican Sampler that had a variety of fried local favorites. We also both had humongous lobster tails with the Puerto Rican Rice. The passion fruit mojito was a refreshing. This was our last dinner before heading home and so worth it. Highly recommend for the Luquillo Beach area. read more

We were told that we would need to wait 45 minutes to be seated, but we ended up getting a seat in 10 minutes. It was super noisy and busy. We got the octopus salad and ceviche as appetizers. The octopus was super flavorful and bouncy, and the ceviche was made with grouper fish that was also chewy. For our mains, we got the fried queen snapper and stuffed lobster. The dishes were priced per pound, so we got to choose our fish and lobster. We even got to hold the live lobster up for photos! Our main dishes took about an hour to come out, but our waiter did tell us that it would take about an hour and a half since they were busy. The fried fish was so good and crispy. The lobster had shrimp and squid topped with a savory sauce stuffed inside. The dishes were super good and the sides, rice and beans and fried sweet plantain, were good as well. It was just a little pricey with the lobster being just over $90, but it was fresh and alive read more

My partner and I had a great experience at La Parrilla, one of the many kiosks at Monserrate Beach in Luquillo. The ambiance, with dining right on the beach, was lovely. The food was delicious - the fish nuggets and red snapper were cooked to perfection. The service was friendly, albeit a bit slow. consistent with our other restaurant experiences in PR. Overall, would highly recommend! read more

What's a vacation without good food and this place does have some really good sea food. Was visiting PR with two other friends and families and happened to drive to Liquillo beach and ended up here after my yelp research. Everything we ordered was just delicious and the lobster, pineapple rice with shrimp and pina colada ended up as the crowd favorites.. read more

The food is great- there's no denying that. I had a shrimp pineapple thing I don't remember the name of and it was honestly delicious. We had a chicken turnover as an appetizer and that was incredible, I could have eaten the whole plate if I wasn't sharing. The staff were also very kind. That being said I was entirely exhausted halfway through eating. The music is basically like being in the middle of a club and there are cars driving around with giant speakers with music. We counted 13 motorcycles blaring their engines to the point I had a headache. It took over an hour to get our food and I really don't know if the food was worth the wait. I might come back if I was feeling up to it but I don't know if this place is for me personally. I can become easily overstimulated. Also I'm not an old lady or anything, I'm 18 so I hope that provides some insight into my review! read more

By far my favorite seafood restaurant in PR. A kiosk turned into iron chef kitchen restaurant with mouth watering, life changing food. Hope they bring the pana mofongo back someday. Everything on their menu is superb. Food melts in mouth and just makes me happy. read more
