I went last year and really enjoyed the vibe and the authentic aspect. It does seem that prices have gone up and there are fewer kiosks open. I would recommend the Ceviche Hut (seafood paella) and Terraza (grouper and passion fruit mojitos). read more

The Luquillos Kioskos are not as amazing as Luquillos beach, but they are definitely still worth a stop if you're hungry and in the area around Hwy 3. I'd highly recommend KIOSK #8 "La Ocho de Sylvia." It's a family run place that isn't big on appearances, but the family who owns it and works there are very sweet and make things TO ORDER. This is different than the other kiosks that have old fried food sitting under a heat lamp for hours! Try the pionono de jueyes or pionono de camaron at Sylvia's...you will never want to leave Puerto Rico after those! read more

OMG, authentic, tasty, excellent prices, nice people, on the beach. Great flavors of Puerto Rico!!! A must stop!!!!

Great fun place to get a local bite and find some more continental dishes if you like. Amazing mofongo (local mashed plantains dish), fried plantains, drinks, beers. read more

Anyone that says every stand serves pretty much the same stuff didn't look that hard. I had fresh oysters one day, Peruvian lomo another and pizza the next. Yes, many stands serve fried stuff. But look a little deeper and you'll find the gems here. There is plenty of parking during the day, i imagine at night it gets a little crazier. You're pretty much right on the beach. So sit back , put your phone away, have a cocktail or Medalla and enjoy relaxing in Luquillo. read more

This is a must go before/after Luquillo beach. There are about 60 kiosks all in one row serving both authentic Puerto Rican food and other cuisines. Unfortunately 80% of them were closed when we visited on a Monday afternoon. I believe this strip is most lively during the weekends. I can't vouch for all of the kiosks but try #23 Antojitos - Comida Criolla y Mexicana. We picked this one because we saw some oddly cone shaped food under the heat lamp. Between the four of us, we ordered about 9 Puerto Rican tacos - crab, lobster, and shrimp, 4 coco ricos, and two other goodies. All for $30!! Don't be fooled by the appearance. Puerto Rican tacos are nothing like the tacos we're used to. The filling is wrapped in some type of medium thick dough and then deep fried (see pictures). Think fried wontons/spring rolls. The crab was the best, the lobster and shrimp were overcooked a bit. I also enjoyed my Puerto Rican "shepards pie" ball as well. Don't forget to ask for the hot sauce. So, either take it to go and head to the beach or sit back and enjoy! read more

I had the best shrimp mofongo at one of the kiosks. As a tourist, I felt that this place was less touristy and more authentic than most places I visited which was a plus. This place is a row of kiosks where you can drink and eat your way through. We tried out a couple of the kiosks and the food/dranks never disappointed. The one kiosk gave my friend a shot with fire in it, we had never seen that before. She literally almost burnt the place down lol but other than that it was a fun time. I'll post the video lol. They also had locals riding through with their motorcycles as if it was the thing to do. This seemed like a pretty poppin' spot to check out to get somewhat of a authentic Puerto Rican experience. read more

think a puerto rican food court set by the beach - now take it down a few notches ladies and gentlemen the kioskos it was fun sampling cocktails up and down the kiosks lost count of how many and which one was the best but it was fun at the time there are many vendors that sell little fried bits of munchies from fish fritters to those corn stick thingies and souvenirs it does make a fun diversion for an afternoon evening after beaching or playing in elyunque - just make sure someone is safe to drive the area does look a bit sketchy but give it a shot and have some fun read more

Haww seafood at it's prime, fresh fish, great flavors and friendly service. One of the highlights on our trip, Kiosko Osobuco was fantastic. read more

This is street food and you get what you pay. There are few good kiosks that would wow you. but the rest just serve the same fried food. The biggest concern about this place is the food safety concern. The food are on display and not properly kept warm and they serve you from those display cases. Stay away from Kiosk # 49 and they only take cash and food not properly stored. They served food from the display case that has been there for hours since morning and not properly kept warm. We spend almost $30 on food only to throw them away right there because it was already going bad and taste awful. Eat at your own peril, almost got food poisoning. They don't throw away the food that has been siting in the display case for hours. if you must go here, don't let them serve you food directly from the ones on display. Ask for food from the kitchen grill. If the food is displayed on a dish inside the glass case, don't buy those. If the food is not displayed on a warming tray or water heated pan, don't even try it. stay away. No health inspectors there to check for food safety. read more

THIS WAS OUR GO TO PLACE!!! I wish i remembered the Kiosks numbers but you won't be disappointed. they are all great food! read more

A must see if you are in the area!! They have a ton of restaurants and shopping in about a half a mile radius. There are at least 30 places you can go to there just in case some of them are closed. Plus it's right on the beach which makes it even better! read more

So many good eats here, this is a locals' spot, don't act too touristy especially at night, it's lit especially in the evening, a few spots have ocean view seating, limited parking, and heavy traffic(foot and auto). read more

This place was a recommendation by a friend, but me and my BF were glad that we went to check it out on our trip. Definitely a must-see for any tourists. Don't let the look of the place deter you. They offer various types of foods, but we were looking for more of the local, authentic food. We decided on a Puerto Rican kiosk (beware, the staff doesn't really speak English, but the visitors around me helped me out!), tried the pork chops + beans & rice and he had the chicken + mofongo. I enjoyed my dish, however his chicken was freezer burned unfortunately. Would come back and try a different place... That's kind of part of the fun. read more

Ceviche Hut was fantastic. We had the shrimp in tostones and then ordered the special of the day: grouper. Super fresh, beyond tasty, excellent time. Sit in the back and get a view of the water! read more

Let me say that is has nothing to do with the kiosks themselves. We had some great bbq and brews at #25. This has to do with the parking situation - after not being able to find an open spot, we parked at a location that had no signs that this wasn't an appropriate spot. Well, it wasn't and we returned from plunking down hard-earned money for lunch to a $100 parking ticket. We could not contest, as it was associated with the rental car. At the same time, a party bus parked right off of the highway, with no problems. Beware! read more

Great place to get a taste of Puerto Rican cultural street food! We came during lunchtime in the offseason so many were not open, but it's still an opportunity to eat some great food. read more

Highly recommend a stop here. Great scene. Park on the beach behind the kiosks, work up an appetite in the surf and sand then grab some food. read more

The atmosphere is vibrant, the food is good and the drinks are potent. The beach located behind the Kioskos is fun and clean. The food was fresh and the people were very nice. Enjoyed it very much and can' wait to go again. read more

We stopped at kiosk #24 Coral Seafood. It was very, very clean. The food was plentiful and tasty. There were 6 of us so we had a bunch of food and shared: blood sausage, saltfish fritter, mofongo, chicken breast, fried port chunks, bacolo. Washed it down with a bunch of local beers: Medalla. Highly recommend this place. read more

I have never seen a style of restaurants/bars like this before and thought it was really cool and interesting! We were told to go to La Parilla which was Kiosk #2. It was so great we ended up going back the next night. We both got their lobster special which was grilled lobster tails and the body was stuffed with grouper and shrimp. It was delicious and great to eat somewhere outside of our expensive hotel food. Very easy to get to and safe feeling. Great experience read more

The kiosks are a must taste experience! From the smoothies to the ceviche to the pinchos (kabobs) everything we tried was fantastic! I only gave four stars because you need to be aware of what you are buying; some of the kiosks have their food sitting under regular CFL bulbs and not heat lamps! Make sure you stop by and grab a fresh chilled coconut to drink! They will cut it open for you when you are done, so you can eat the flesh as well! read more

Luquillo Kiosks - Smoothie from the hut in the parking area.. To die for! - Seafood Near Me - Luquillo, Puerto Rico

A wide diversity of local food and drinks but still expensive for what it is. We had a great dinner but it was ruined by a local man masturbating around the corner looking at my wife. Police were quick to respond but use caution here at night especially with children in tow. More police presence needed. read more

What a great place to go to try so many different and authentic foods in one area. Does not appear or present itself to be fine dining, but its the place to go for great food. read more

I've read where people claim the fried food here was no better than other places and they are overpriced. We ate there 3 times, but never ate the fried food. The fresh seafood was the best food we ate while in PR. The service is slow, but that is the PR way. Enjoyed our time here much more than our time spent and food eaten in Old San Juan. Other than visiting the forts, Old SJ was a huge disappointment. read more

Visiting the Kioskos was such a fun thing to do. We wanted to experience some of the local flare and sample the food. We got some of both and enjoyed it. We sampled lots of different fried items (like other reviewers have said...leave your diet at home). The fried mashed potato balls are like Wisconsin cheesy potatoes with hamburger in the middle. Really good...too good! And the kids loved the fried pizza turnovers (we would call them calzones here). Worth a stop if you are in the Luquillo area. read more

Lots of fun! 60 Kiosks with food and drinks, arts and crafts, music and games... All backed up to the beautiful Playa Balneario. Try Kiosco #2 for a nice sit-down dinner, Tattoo Tavern for a weeknight hangout, #60 for some street food and billiards. There's something there for everyone- locals and tourists! read more

We stayed in Luquillo and went here everyday. There are so many places to try and little shops. Most are open Wednesday through Sunday. So make sure you check the hours if you are driving in from another side of the island. read more

My husband and I had just finished hiking at El Yunque National Rainforest and decided to make a stop at the Kioskos for lunch before making our way to Farjardo to our Bio-Luimin. bay excursion. I am glad we did! Lot's of reviews mentioned how "trashy" the beach seemed but honestly--I didn't see it. Perhaps because I have traveled to different countries outside the U.S. and kiosks on the beach is similar to what you'll find at any "LOCALS" beach in Latin American countries or elsewhere. Don't expect every beach to have a boardwalk & colossal hotels drawing hundreds of tourists. We only had time to dine at Kiosk #2 "La Parrilla." I had read about their lavish lobster meals, but since we had another activity booked, we ate light. We ordered a variety of appetizers and one main dish to share. The mahi-mahi nuggets ended being our favorite! We also ordered empanadas of both crab and lobster meat (we ended up liking the lobster meat ones the best!) and we ordered a beef mofongo to share which was overflowing! Overall our dining experience was delicious. Our only regret was not having enough time or appetite to savor the other kiosks. Do make a stop and give the place a try--don't be deceived by it's look. Some of the best food my foodie husband and I have tasted have been from kiosks and "hole-in-the-wall" places. read more

My wife and I parked our rental car behind a row of cars on the right hand side off the road just before getting to the kiosks. We headed down all the various places and checked them all out. All the fried foods looked the same from the windows and it was hard to figure out which to try. We found a guy selling fresh oysters and clams and sat by his truck ad he served us. Wow and delicious. We then found a guy grilling chicken kabobs for 2.50 ea. we bought two and that pretty much filled us up. Then we stood in line for the milk shakes. OMG! You have to get the shakes from a mobile vendor stand opposite around # 55 kiosk. We wandered into the beach area and saw families and young people hanging out. While there we saw lots of Police and felt very safe. We went back to our car only to find we had been given a ticket. In fact every car parked on the side of the street had been ticketed $100! That must have been 75 cars! What did we do wrong? We quickly found a few officers but none spoke english and they kept saying it will bill through the rental car company. We were leaving the next day so we begged and pleaded. One female motorcycle officer took pity on us and helped us find another patrolman who spoke english. We pleaded with him for 30 min describing that in the US it is legal to park off the road as long as there is no sign saying "No Parking". Finally, after finding out who we were and calling the ticketing officer, the english speaking officer said it would be ripped up and to not worry about it! Lesson learned: DO NOT PARK anywhere but designated parking either in front of kiosks or where the locals park around the beach area. read more

Kiosk #20 was one of the best meals of my life. Rabbit, Mahi Mahi, the best red beans and rice of all time. Great service, amazing local live music, nice wine selection. Just an amazing culinary experience. We decided to leave the resort and get a real Puerto Rican dinner, not some over priced garbage you find at the big hotels. Who wants to eat Italian or Asian food when you are in Puerto Rico? If you want to experience the culture of PR, the kiosks are where its at. 2 entrees, 2 glasses of wine each and an appetizer, all for $60. Compare that to a night at the resort when we were too lazy to go out (I know, I contradicted myself). Some mediocre chicken parm and fettucine alfredo, a few glasses of wine for over $100. So glad we decided to go here on a recommendation from a friend. Simply amazing. Can't really say it any better than that. Delicious!!!!! I'll dream about this place for sure! read more

This is a great stop in between San Juan and the rainforest. Lots of authentic food to try - almost street food-style. Right on the water. It's a little pricey read more

Loved the food. was good price and a fun way to try out different things.

Such good authentic Puerto Rican food, mojitos were amazing at two places!! Can't recall which numbers though

This place was cool. Had pasteles de carne and a Piña colada at one of the kiosks. We ended up having dinner at kiosk 57. Mofongo with shrimp & pernil con arroz con gandules, a coke and a pina colada for 34 dollars. Definitely try the oysters at the tent! read more

We went her after a long hike at El Yunque and a visit to Luquillo beach. We thought the concept was cool but the execution of the kiosks were terrible. We got there at 4:30pm and the "hot food" like the empanadas looked good in the windows, but it tasted like they sat out all day. Not crunchy like it LOOKED. Everything was lukewarm. For some reason we kept trying to give them more chances and order stuff from different kiosks. Don't go to the Jugos Naturalos. So bad. She blended it for 10 seconds so all you get it huge chunks of ice in a premade fruit juice from the grocery store. They "try" to make it better with whip cream and candy on top. Not worth it. Overall, spend your money on a real dinner because these people just want your money without any quality to their stale food. read more

The worst food experience you could have in PR. Do NOT go to Kiosk 55 (the seafood place). The mofungo is terrible, and the fried foods are just worse than anyplace around it. The worst part is that prices aren't listed, and if they think you are a tourist, prepare to pay double than a local. Avoid like the plague. read more

There are multiple kiosks in the area but do yourself a huge favor - don't ever stop by kiosk 55 Cuchilandia and seafood. Not only customer service was absolutely horrendous but it was a total scam. They got my orders wrong, took literally 40 minutes to deep fry some pieces of fish (very similar to fish sticks) and white rice and beans, and worst of all upcharged my order by a LOT. Try other kiosks instead if you don't want to go through my experience. read more

#20 for good food and reasonable prices. Beach right behind the row of kiosks. Many to choose from . #2 is very good but overpriced. Edelweiss has strong drinks and good sausages.great tres leches cake at 20 for dessert. Very fresh food. read more

The staff at Wyndham Margaritaville recommended three of the restaurants in this strip but we were attracted to stand #31 (Konga) for 89 cent Modellas (10 ounce PR beer). The bartender, Miguel, convinced us to stay for lunch. What good fortune! My wife and I enjoyed whole red snappers with salads and sides (sweet plantains and mofongo) for $9.95 each. We returned two other times during the week for the inexpensive Modellas and dinner. The grouper, shrimp and baby back ribs were all good and reasonably priced. The owner, Joe, introduced himself and made certain that we were pleased each and every time. We thoroughly enjoyed kiosk #31 and intend to visit one last time before returning home. Update: Returned to Konga (#31) for the fourth time on our final night in PR. We enjoyed that night's special of skirt steak with a salad and a side, along with multiple Modellas and pina colada. Once again, everything was great and the staff was the best. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and affordability of this kiosk during our stay in Rio Grande. We admittedly were first drawn to Konga by the 89 cent Modella and the casual ambiance but, believe us, the quality and taste of the local food at #31 is excellent. read more
