OMG! I LOVED Los Piños!! We wanted an authentic Puerto Rican experience, without having to leave Isla Verde. We wanted good affordable drinks, and authentic, clean & delicious food....and Los.Piños checked all the boxes. Iy was nice to not be just surrounded by tourists for the evening. We were able to.get a nice feel for the culture in PR. Everyone was friendly and we just had a great time at Los Piños! Highly recommend!! read more

Checking out local spots off the resort led us here .... There are a few of these, and I believe they are opened 24/7 The food was decent. I had a difficult time getting fresh fruit that wasn't overripe. But the shrimp dish was great. The staff was pretty efficient. We went during the Halloween weekend, and there were many interesting sites in the T Mobile district There was a pretty large group of us, and they were good at keeping up with our food orders and getting the food out fresh and warm. Unfortunately, the wait was pretty long, and there were a few mishaps. Puerto Rico has some of the best food. The flavors and seasoning is always top their. read more

visited this place during my week-long stay last week, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When we arrived, I politely asked our waitress if she could wipe down the dirty table, but she seemed annoyed and visibly upset, huffing and puffing about it. I also asked to use the restroom and was told it wasn't working due to a lack of running water -- which immediately raised concerns about hygiene. We ordered four simple sandwiches (just ham, cheese, and egg) and waited patiently. After some time, we noticed that other guests -- including larger groups who arrived after us -- were being served, while we were still waiting. After both my mom and I asked about our food, we were told it was still being prepared. We ended up waiting over an hour with no food and finally left without eating. I also asked how dishes were being washed without water, and the waitress simply stared at me with no response. The service was rude and disorganized. I wouldn't recommend this place based on our experience. Visité este lugar durante mi estadía de una semana la semana pasada y, lamentablemente, la experiencia fue muy decepcionante. Al llegar, le pedí amablemente a la mesera que limpiara la mesa, ya que estaba sucia, y se molestó visiblemente, resoplando con actitud. También le pregunté por el baño y me dijo que no estaba funcionando porque no había agua, lo cual me generó preocupación por la higiene del lugar. Pedimos cuatro sándwiches simples (solo jamón, queso y huevo) y esperamos un buen rato conversando. Notamos que otras personas, incluso grupos más grandes que llegaron después que nosotros, estaban recibiendo su comida. Le preguntamos a la mesera nuevamente, después de que mi mamá ya lo había hecho, y solo nos dijo que la comida "todavía se estaba preparando". Esperamos más de una hora y nunca llegaron los sándwiches. Terminamos yéndonos sin comer. También le pregunté cómo estaban lavando los platos si no tenían agua, y simplemente me miró sin responder. La atención fue grosera y el servicio muy desorganizado. No recomiendo este lugar para nada. read more

The food was outstanding! I ordered the stuffed avocado with garlic chicken. There was so much food on my plate, I took the left overs to the hotel for a second meal. I wish I could say the same for the service, hence the 3 stars, our server decided to take her dinner break right after she took our order. There was not a server in sight to assist us. I had to go to the bar asking for a second glass of water, a to go box and the bill. I have to say when we go back we will eat there again. For the amount of food and the quality it was a good value. The service sucked! read more

First stop on the PR tour! This spot is right across from the beach (Isla Verde); there was not way when arrived and the restaurant has a bar, dining area, and private space so it is good for large groups. Drink Review (the bar left a little to desire but it wasn't bad) Pina Colada - a little water ftasty and strong Strawberry Margarita - tasty but syrup was very thick Passionfruit Mojito - strong but the flavor was not the best Food Review (now this is where they SHINE!) Salmon - well cooked and flavorful Mashed Plantains - a fan favorite of the group; rave reviews from the whole group Skirt Steak - delicious and flavorful Penne + Shrimp - a little heavy on the penne sauce but the garlic sauce addition made it slap! Fried Pork - dry and a bit overcooked (the only miss from the group) Overall, this was a great first stop and lunch spot for the beginning of our trip! The service was great as well; very friendly staff that gave great recommendations! Tip - ask for the garlic sauce! read more

Food was wonderful! Got the Yuca Mofongo and a Cuban sandwich. Loved both. Friendly service

We had a party of six and we all ate very well and everyone took food home. The appetizer was absolutely amazing with a true spread of wonderful Puerto Rican food. As you can see in the pictures attached to this post there was no shortness nor anything small about everything served to us. The service was wonderful and the owners came out and greeted us and ensured we had an excellent meal. Our drinks were always refilled promptly. They have a great selection of local cervezas to choose from. I had the Ocean blood orange cerveza. As we dined we overlooked the terrace surrounded by huge beautiful pine trees and of course beautiful Puerto Rico . Music played in the background adding to the ambiance of the evening. Such a memorable experience from the moment of arrival until we left. Out of our whole trip to the enchanted island, this was the best of the best in all aspects. It may be a little difficult to find by Google maps but asking a local, they knew exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely return without a doubt! Gracias Amigos for an amazing experience!! read more

My husband and I were looking for a place with octopus salad. We saw this place was 3 blocks from our rental car drop off location. So walked over looked at the menu wasn't impressed. We asked the waitress about the octopus salad she said she did have it. So we sat down and ordered. We were a little nervous, didn't know what to expect. The place was empty on Wednesday evening. The food finally came and oh my word. It was so amazing. It tastes authentic. We ordered the octopus salad with green plantains and a crab yuca mofongo. SO GOOD!!!! Please do yourself a favor and stop by if you want delicious Puerto Rican food. read more

I ate here a lot because it was near my hotel. The food is good and I'm glad I got to try numerous things from their menu.

I stumbled across this restaurant while taking my nightly stroll in Isla Verde. The waitress was super nice. I ordered a piña colada - good and heavy on the rum like I like it. The mofongo was good the shrimp was fresh and correctly seasoned. I can't understand why it was not crowded on a Thursday night. I've been to crowded restaurants where the food wasn't as tasty. The prices were really good. Please visit I hate when good places go down because people don't know they are good and reasonably priced. read more

This place scams people when they give the bill!!! We had 3 mofongos and 4 mojitos and the total was $119!!!! They did not leave a tip area as they "included" it in the total. They up charged the mojitos by $10! It was empty when we got there; after the fact when we received the bill we understood why. Do not go here--there are better options in the area. Going here will leave sour experience on your trip like it did for us. read more

Went to eat here with my wife and brother in law. As soon as we walked in I saw a huge cockroach scurry across the floor. The restaurant is pretty open (open doors in the front and back) so I didn't think much of it. We proceeded to order our drinks than waited a total Of 45 mins. I'm sure you all think I'm over exaggerating but I got so bored waiting I started a timer. The staff were extremely rude and didn't seem like they cared at all. We requested our food numerous times and they said it was coming or they would repeat our order as if they were gonna start making it and needed to verify before they start. I decided it was time to leave and as we were walking out. A female staff member told my wife and I that we were only waiting 10 mins. I proceeded to show her the timer I had set and she went silent. Then began getting frustrated and told us to "never come back". If you want to have horrible service and a disgusting restaurant that's fine, but then to go out of your way to gaslight my family and I into believing we were not waiting for 45 mins is actually insane. Good luck! read more

Nice friendly staff and the fact they are open 24 hrs is a bonus!!! Recommend the Pina Coladas if you like a sweet alcoholic drink. Really smooth and creamy!!! read more

When I walked past this place. I initially thought it was closed. It looks pretty run down on the outside and as if it's not even a restaurant. But once inside it's pretty dark and still looks as if it's an old restaurant that has been shut down. Other than the ambiance.. I ordered the crab mofongo. It was delicious and seasoned to perfection. My only draw back was it was kinda pricey! Which is not surprising due to the fact that it's located on the strip by Isla Verde beach. Its a touristy area so they are definitely taxing at this place. read more

Would definitely go again! read more

Wow the food here is so good! The empanadas were so hot and fresh and seasoned perfectly- the chicken and the beef were both delicious. The mofongo was out of this world, probably the best I've ever had so far. Super soft and just the right amount of garlic. The carne frita was seasoned so perfectly and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and the pieces were big and full of meat instead of too much fat. The arroz maposteao was traditional and delicious. On top of the food being amazing, the server was really sociable and friendly and there was a nice breeze coming through the window while sitting at the bar. You could hear the music playing from the place next door. Definitely will be coming back here every time I'm in PR! read more

This is their service every where it seems. read more

Un lugar excelente. La comida es deliciosa y el lugar muy limpio. El servicio es de primera.

The food and Piña Coladas are delicious. We were introduced to Puerto Rican food. This restaurant/ bar is on the lively road off the beach. We came in after spending our day at the beach. The employees were nice and very helpful on getting around town. They suggested that we take the 75 cent bus to Old San Juan instead of paying a $30 Uber. They also recommended that we go listen to music and dance at the Placista. read more

I used to come to this place 25+ years ago, and it's good to know it's still got it. Moved away a long time ago and came back with a colleague during a work trip home.

As it happens, he comes here all the time. I shall return as well! read more

I was in Puerto Rico for a short labor day weekend getaway and had searched entirely too hard for a traditional mofongo. I stumbled on los pinos while searching through yelp and it was a short walk from our airbnb so we decided to try it. OH MY GOD. This food was amazing. We had a chicken empanada, the crab mofongo, and a side of rice and beans. It did take some time for our food to come out so just be prepared for a wait. However it was totally worth it. The mofongo was smooth, buttery, and garlicky. The best I've ever had. I've had chicken, beef, or shrimp mofongos in the past but never crab and it's definitely my new favorite. I might have to come back to Puerto Rico just for this mofongo cause I can't stop thinking about it. read more
