One of my favorite moments in Puerto Rico was taking my parents to my dad's favorite restaurant. We started with a sampler of appetizers, and everything was fresh and delicious. I ordered the mixed seafood mofongo, and it was absolutely amazing--full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly, and most importantly, we enjoyed quality time together while sharing great food and wonderful conversations. Moments like these are the ones I treasure the most. read more

Food was good. I ordered the fried fish with sorullitos and mom and grandma ordered the fish mofongo. The food was good but, it was missing salt or some seasoning. The ambience was very nice and you could see the ocean. The service was pretty bad although, they were very busy. Ps. I didn't take pictures of the food, but here's one of the ocean. read more

Was excited to finally eat some "fresh" fish from reading some reviews. Unfortunately, was disappointed with the results. At $23.96 a plate for red snappers fillet, I assumed I would be getting perfectly cooked fillets which should be the most important thing a kitchen should know. But they came out hard. Which tells me the fish was over cooked. Besides that. The mofongo balls ,excellent, the mash potatoes ( combo of different roots) was meh. The service was good. Place was packed with people waiting in line. I would definitely not be back for mediocrity. read more

When visiting my family during the holidays, I told my mom I wanted to have lobster. She recommended Tino's and said that even though they were not great in the past, they had recently changed administration and might be better now. We were a group of ten (10) and we were seated promptly but they did not provide a high chair for my 1 year old nephew. I had to go and get one myself and carry it myself. They took a while to take our order and when they did, the server didn't write any of it down. We were not sure whether to be impressed or worried. Long story short, worried was the way to go. They forgot my stepdad's dish. Every other table got served before us even though we had ordered first. They would bring dishes and ask if we had ordered that or if they had already brought that dish to us. There was no rhyme or reason on the way the plates were coming out. It was extremely frustrating and the food was mediocre. Only thing I enjoyed was their beans mostly because they had pumpkin in them. There are so many options in Joyuda that i would avoid Tino's at all costs. El Bohio is always consistent and service is exceptional. Don't waste your time. read more

Pre meal garlic bread was to die for. Cod croquettes were delicious. Red snapper filet was delicious. Lobster with garlic butter is a must have. Kids meals with fried chicken, rice & beans were devoured by our sometimes picky eaters. Good service to boot. All this at fair prices! This is another definite must try. We haven't had a bad meal in Cabo Rojo. I'm in food heaven here. read more

Dinner meals were flavorful and good portions. Service was extremely poor. Waiter came over to take our order, we asked a question and after answering he walked away, disappearing for 5-10 minutes. We ordered two drinks, and only one arrived. As table was cleared of house salad dishes, he caused dressing to splatter on table. Rather than say sorry and wipe it, he walked away saying nothing, so we wiped it with our napkins. I noticed desserts listed on menu earlier so I asked to see dessert menu after dinner. Instead he started reciting menu items. Asked for cheesecake and coffee for dessert. After 5 minutes coffee arrived but was told no cheesecake available. Hey, maybe I wouldn't want coffee without the cheesecake. Also, the saucer had quite a bit of coffee spilled into it so I had be careful sipping and had to put my napkin in to clean up another mess he made. Food was good but did not make up for the poor service. And they don't have a view of the water as shown in "outside pictures". They are across street and no view. My opinion is the poor service was no accident. One intentionally lousy waiter marred an otherwise good meal with polite, responsive service from other support staff. Avoid the big waiter with glasses if you end up here but you're better off eating somewhere else. Plenty of great options with food as good or better with much better service and a view on the water. You deserve better, go to one the other terrific restaurants in Joyuda. read more

Fuimos ayer domingo a celebrar Día de los Padres y la graduación de mi hijo. Hace unos años había ido y no estuvo mal. Lamentablemente, no puedo decir lo mismo de nuestra experiencia de ayer. Después de esperar un rato afuera en lo que se vaciaban mesas, nos sentamos y ordenamos casi inmediatamente. Los aperitivos, que no fueron nada del otro mundo, llegaron bastante tarde. Ya en ese momento habíamos ordenado, y en ese momento se sentó una familia justo al lado de nosotros. Increíblemente, esa familia comió antes que nosotros, que habíamos llegado al menos 20 minutos antes. Tuve que decirle al mesero que llevábamos esperando demasiado por nuestra comida y de pronto apareció.Al menos si la comida hubiese sido buena, se podía perdonar. Mi madre pidió una chuleta kan-kan que se podía martillar con ella. El dorado de mi hijo estaba crudo y frío, al mar y tierra de mi otro hijo le faltaron las setas y mi pescado es obvio que no era fresco. Eso sin contar que la comida de mi hijo de 8 años no llegó y tuvimos que volver a pedirla y que los acompañantes llegaron después de los platos principales. El agua también brilló por su ausencia. En fin, una total decepción de un sitio que fue altamente recomendado. read more

Stopped in late last night at about closing time but they let us in. They did advise us that they were out of several food items but since just about every other place was closed we decided to take our chance. I must admit I was disappointed because they things they were out of were the things I would have ordered but oh well. The owner was very gracious and took care of us quickly. Drinks came out quickly which was a plus. For my entree I had the churrasco with fries. My girlfriend had the octopus salad and our guests had a fish dish and the other had the fried shrimp. Although I was initially disappointed once the meal came I was very impressed with the flavors and the taste. So delicious. The food was so good. The restaurant was very nice the decor was simple but appropriate. The only reason I gave them a 4 star review was because they were out of several food items which in my opinion should never happen. A Puerto Rican restaurant should never run out of rice and beans and plátanos. Just can't happen. read more

We ate here years ago and were glad to see it is still operating. Closed Monday and Tuesday, we went back on Wednesday. It is still good as ever, great mofongo with shrimp. There is as extensive and varied menu. Service was very friendly and efficient. Prices were equivalent to other places in Joyuda. Definitely one of out go-to places when in Cabo Rojo. read more

We had a fabulous dinner and experience at Tino's! Feeding the turtles was a kick and the whole fish smoked and BBQ'd was some of the best fish we ever had. The flavors were amazing. We then, without knowing what we were ordering, got "Mexican Coffee". Oh my, it was DELICIOUS and the presentation was equally impressive. They cook off tequila and Kahlua and combine those with cream and coffee. So, so good. We splurged and got the bananas flambe which was also prepared table side. The food, service and experience were superb. If you're looking for a great meal in Puerto Nuevo go here one night. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is an update to my old review. In the old review I was completely satisfied with everything. However it's been over 2 years and I'm back to say service and quality have gone down. I recently went to Tino's and had the mixto seafood mofongo. The service was not good at all. I had to wait for the owner to come and take our orders because no one came over to our table for 10 minutes. Maybe the staff was off due to the fact we went mid week. So the service is way below average nowadays. The salad came first. It was so tiny that it was actually funny. It was fit for a toddler. It was delicious though. So we finally received our mofongo and I had to ask the server if they made a mistake because we ordered the large size. He stated the dish was the large size. I then said to him yes but I ordered the Adult large size. He said that was the only large they served. I was taken back by the small portion of the mofongo. I couldn't believe how the restaurant could consider the size a large. I was going to question the manager but my wife said forget it. Just eat it. I ate the mofongo which tasted good but I couldn't believe how little seafood the dish contained. The dish was over $22 and felt they could've done a better job. I left the restaurant still hungry. I don't recommend going to tinos if you're hungry. Go to the other nearby restaurants like el Gatito. Unfortunately the portions nowadays are very small. The food taste good. However they seem to take the customer for granted because they are well known. I believe Tinos is no longer a good buy and you would do better going elsewhere. I suggest you Go to any of the nearby establishments. They will serve you food that taste just as good and will be better priced for their large portions. read more

Tino's is always a safe bet in Joyuda. My mom and I ordered the fried snapper with tostones, and it was delicious! The garlic bread was very nice, and the server did a good job in helping me select a wine for my meal. My dad had the lobster mofongo, which he said was very good. He also gave us very accurate information on what fish was fresh and local. The manager came by our table a few times to make sure we were doing well. They deserve a 5 star rating for both their service and the quality of their food. read more

Tino's Restaurant - Fried snapper, Mofongo and Surullitos. Yummy!! - Puerto Rican Near Me - Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

Overall the meal was just okay and slightly disappointing, perhaps we ordered the wrong things? . We started with the grilled octopus which was neither good nor bad. We also tried a mofongo which was a little bland for our tastes. For the main courses we ordered the fried red snapper and the lobster. The red snapper was fresh, but the batter and method of frying was unremarkable. Both dishes came with a side of defrosted steamed veggies. We also got a side of beans and rice as well as sweet plantains which were good. Service was excellent. The place was not very busy, but neither was Cabo Rojo. It kind of felt like off season, perhaps it is? Anyways, there aren't a lot of food options in the area. I"m sure you could do worse, maybe you could do better. Maybe we didn't know what to order, but at the same time the waiter seemed to highly endorse our selections so I just don't know. read more

Tino's is a wonderful traditional Puerto Rican restaurant with amazing mofongo. The service is spectacular and they put nice extra touches on things.

Accommodated my allergies easily. I had the Mofongo con pescado. Mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish of mashed plantains with a flavorful almost marinara mixed with with veggies or meat. Excellent flavor and service. Our servers spoke great English (and indulged my espanol communication of my allergies.) They were very patient and made an alteration so my Mofongo was dairy free. Feeling very full but great afterwards. Celiac, super-sensitive celiac, gluten-free, gluten free, corn-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free read more

Neighbors at our condo told us Tino's has the best Mofongo in town...here we are. It's the beginning of Holy Week but we were able to get a table, no problem. We ordered the mixed appetizer, Mofongo with fried pork meat and chicken broth, mixed seafood Mofongo and chicken Mofongo. read more

All the food in Joyuda is great, but the mofongo here is AMAZING. I had the mofongo con caldo de pollo. My younger brother isn't a fan of mofongo and had steak. I also had tostones de pana pen. He very much enjoyed it. We all had sangria which was as good as expected. All of their food is made to order, so it was a bit of a long wait which was very well worth it. read more

We had a nice meal here. That staff was friendly and the mofongo and asopao was tasty. Nothing too spectacular, but it was a good meal!

Food was excellent b4 we notice that we weren't eating alone, service was extremely slow place only had 3 more tables occupied...unfortunately won't b coming here again prior to leaving we saw #'s roaches. Approach owner in ref. to it. We even killed one in the table we were sitting he didn't even apologize or gave us a discount...lost my appetite!!! read more

Horrible experience at this restaurant. Would give it 0 stars if I could. I went with a group of friends and their food arrived 20 minutes before ours did. After my friends had finished their food and we still hadn't gotten ours, I told the owner to cancel our order because we had lost our appetite by that point. Owner was so rude and made us pay for the food that we did not eat. A well respected restaurant owner would have accepted that his staff messed up our order and that it was not fair for us to pay for something we did not eat. You would get better service going to a fast food restaurant than going to this place. read more

Great mofongo with shrimps and great with chicken breast too!! Fast service. The small mofongo can let you a little hungry.

Excellent service, but the food was not good. Me and my husband ordered chillo and mero (fish) and werr extremely greasy and tasteless.
