    Brunch Menu
    Guillermo G.

    Came in for brunch, which they serve on Saturday and Sunday from 9a-2p, I believe. It was very good. I had an egg white southwestern omelette. It came with a side of chips and salsa. My wife had chicken and waffles. She thought the waffles were a little dry but the chicken was good. It was well seasoned. My son had the waffles. He liked them. The others in the group: one got the grilled cheese with ham and the other two ordered each the hungry fisherman. The French toast and grilled cheese were served on their house brioche bread. I had a taste. It was good. Service was on point.

    Went with my family and some friends for Sunday brunch. I had the chicken and waffles. I thought the waffles were a bit on the dry side, but the chicken was very well seasoned and tasty. Someone gave me half of their french toast made with the house brioche. That was delicious. Next time, I think I'll go with that. Overall, the experience was very nice. Service was good and the company even better. Afterwards, I took a nice stroll on the beach with my son.

    We stopped into Pelican's on a weekday, when the beach area was actually fairly quiet -- which was very nice! The area around it can be incredibly crowded on weekends, and parking is an adventure. However, during the week, it tends to be fairly quiet. Pelicans is definitely a "tourist" restaurant, and serves fairly standard American foods with some local flavour; its menu isn't that far off what you'd find at a beach restaurant in Miami. Burgers, sandwiches, and the like, mixed with things like plantains and mofongo. The burgers are GINORMOUS, as are the sandwiches, so bring your appetite!

    Great food, great atmosphere, great service!!! Highly recommend especially for brunch!

    My fiance and I are here for vacation and decided to go here for brunch it did not disappoint!!

    We had plans to have breakfast in other place near by and I am glad it was closed!! Breakfast was amazing!! Well, this photo is from my niece breakfast because mine is gone. Sausage was perfect, eggs right it the spot, hash browns, even the toast was perfect!! Service was very good too. Next time I will be in the area, this is the spot. I wonder if dinner will be this good.

    0! Llegamos a comer y a las 9:15 cuando fuimos a pedir comida nos dicen que cocina la cocina esta a cerrada, cuando nunca nos informaron a que hora cerraba. Pésimo servicio.

    I don't get any of the negative reviews. We had a PERFECT experience. The service, food, and ambiance were great. Our son had mofongo filled with Mahi Mahi and loved it. My wife had octopus salad with tostones and Medalla beer and called it "a match made in heaven". I had the octopus cocktail and loved it. Don't let negative people drive you away from this cozy and laid back place.

Drinks: Half of our group went for The Corazon de Melon a refreshing drink, not too sweet but delicious. I had the "I don't give a cucumber"! My husband commented that his beer was perfectly cold. My hubby had the lobster and he loved it!! It was served with the mushroom. risotto. Two members of our party had the chicken and the other two the steak. They chicken was delicious. I opted for the salad with chicken because the night before I had visited another highly rated restaurant in San German and I was so disappointed by what it passed for a salad there. Roberto's salad had fresh greens and subtle flavors. Chicken cooked and flavored to perfection. It was delicious! We ended with two sample desserts: flan and carrot cake. We left happy and satisfied to get this fine dinning experience in Cabo Rojo. Bravo. Roberto. May you continue to hone n your craft and offer this quality food for years to come.

It was one of those places where everyone at the table was happy with their meal. I ordered churrasco with mofongo and it was delicious and juicy with an incredible garlic sauce. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel welcome and checked on us throughout our meal. A huge plus was the parking, it had private parking, which isn't always the case when you're traveling around the island. The only thing I'd mention is that the restaurant is outdoors and doesn't have AC, so it can get pretty warm. But honestly, once the food came out and we settled in, it wasn't a big deal. Overall, we had a really nice experience and would definitely come back. Good food, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out! 10/10

I told the waiter, and she said she was sorry but refused to take it back and told me I still had to pay for the plate even though I didn't eat it. After that, I ordered an appetizer cause I though it will be serve faster, the appetizer "goyitos", came out extremely dark, looked burnt, and tasted burned. When I pointed it out, the waiter said they're supposed to be like that. Between the long wait, undercooked food, and the way everything was handled, the customer service was terrible. This place was recommended by family and I regret coming. I won't be back and I won't recommend it.

When the Churrasco Mofongo ($27.99) finally came out, the portion size was surprisingly small and did not reflect the price at all. For nearly $28, I expected a much more substantial serving and better overall value. What made the experience even more frustrating was that I also ordered four pastelitos at $2.99 each, and those ended up providing more food and better value than the $27.99 Churrasco Mofongo. It's hard to justify paying nearly $28 for an entrée when a few appetizers totaling less than half the price leave you feeling like you received more for your money. To make matters worse, the staff was largely inattentive throughout the visit. It was difficult to get anyone's attention, there were no updates regarding the long wait, and customer service felt like an afterthought, only because the question "Can I have an update on my order" was asked to the staff. A 44-minute wait can be understandable during busy times, but keeping customers informed goes a long way, especially when multiple families sat, ate, and left before receiving the order. Overall, despite the churrasco mofongo tasting really good, between the excessive wait time, the lack of attentiveness from staff, and the disappointing portion size, I left feeling that the meal was not worth the price. I hope management takes a closer look at both the service and the value being provided to customers.
