    I absolutely LOVE this place... I will never forget the hospitality the owner and his wife gave me. I'm a huge customer service kinda guy, and this establishment went above and beyond that. So my March 2019 trip to Puerto Rico had me in the city of Manati. This spot was right off the street, a few miles away from where my airbnb on Mar Chiquita beach. I'd see it everyday of my trip and finally decided to stop by around day 3. I got tired of the fancy restaurants in San Juan and surrounding areas. Simply because I was spending tons of money on mediocre food. So I ended up stopping in this place and asking the owner about the style of food he has. He was disappointed to tell me he was out of chicken, and to come by tomorrow. He kept saying he'd take care of me, and not to worry... so I agreed. That very next day I pulled back in for lunch and he immediately greeted me with a bro-hug and was happy I came back. There was a heavy crowd too, so no wonder he was out of chicken. He offered to sit me in a completely separate room where the bar in the rear was. I definitely wanted to sit somewhere comfortable, so that was perfect. He let me grab my food ala cart style and brung me a drink once he gave me the remote to the tv and turned the separate a/c on for me. That was a good gesture on his part. Once my fat ass starts to eat all his delicious food, he comes back every 5-7 minutes to ask me if I needed anything and of course I didn't. We got to talking about sports, and his son plays in the major leagues. After I was done he didn't charge me a damn dime!!! Such a stand up dude, I appreciate this and am doing this review super late but hey I couldn't forget about the service and food. Will definitely be back!

    We were starving and this guys were in the way im glad that we made this delicious lunch with them. Gracias

    We stopped here after exploring La Cueva del Indio and it ended up being the perfect place to relax…read moreand grab a meal. Sitting outside facing the Atlantic Ocean with the cool ocean breeze was such a beautiful and peaceful experience. The views alone made the stop worthwhile, but I was pleased with the entire experience. The service was great from start to finish. For appetizers, I ordered the Chicharrones de Pollo, which were flavorful and crispy. I also tried one of the mozzarella sticks, but it didn't have that satisfying cheese pull I was hoping for. My man ordered the shrimp mofongo and really enjoyed it, while my brother-in-law was very happy with his snapper fish. For my entree, I chose the Mofongo Relleno de Pollo, a mashed plantain mofongo topped with chicken, and it was delicious. The portion was decent and packed with flavor. For dessert I tried the guava flan. While the flavor was nice, the texture was a bit too tough for my liking. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the oceanfront views were absolutely amazing. If you're passing by the area, Playa Brava is definitely worth stopping by for a meal and a chance to enjoy the scenery.

    Playa Brava has some delicious food! We got a table right outside near the beach and it had a…read morereally nice view. The day was beautiful and it was perfect. I ordered the seafood mofongo and the ceviche. The ceviche was its own meal. It was alot. No complaints from me. It was fresh delicious and i can almost taste it writing this review. service was great. The tostones the ceviche came with were crispy hot and garlicky! The seafood mofongo was super good. All fresh seafood in a garlic sauce that complimented the mofongo lovely. I tried some chicharron de pollo as well. Crispy hot and savory. Yes I would love to come back here and try more food and recommend anyone in the area to do the same!
