They have parking on a hilled area and you can walk to the restaurant from there. We personally got a cart ride from a nice hotel staff. So I really appreciated that. WAIT You sign up for a table (whether it's inside or outside seating). They put your name on a waiting list. And they text you when the table is ready. Although we came at peak dining hours, I personally didn't feel that the wait for a outdoor table was bad. SERVICE Our server was good. She did check up on us despite having to serve many tables. The wait times for the food can be quite long, so keep that in mind. Don't come here if you are on a time crunch or come super hungry. Be prepared to enjoy the music, ambience, sea breeze and wait. MUSIC The day we arrived, there was a live band playing, which was nice to keep the island vibes. However, we were seated right next to the band that had really loud percussion sounds that it was really hard to hear each other speak and gave my friend a slight headache. So, maybe request a further table if you do get seated really close to them. FOOD My friends and I decided to share the appetizer, AHI TUNA WONTON. The crunch of the chips, the softness of the raw tuna and the sauce meshed well together. It was delicious that we ate it so fast. I personally got the ARROZ CON MARISCOS aka Seafood Rice. I opted for tostones on the side. This is seasoned orange rice with various seafoods inside. There is just a decent amount of seafood inside. It can be quite filling because of the rice. So I think it was worth it compared to the other dishes. But it wasn't super impressive. Overall, the food was okay. The music was super loud. The wait times was quite long. So I would give it a 3 star rating for my experience here.

This roadside eatery had amazing ambience plenty of parking and the most delicious grilled steak. The rice was the best I had at all Puerto Rico. My little one loved the fried grouper. The shrimp tacos were amazing. The shrimp was so well seasoned and we had amazing service with affordable drinks. It was an amazing time and I must eat at whenever I am in the area on vacation, five stars

Every single appetizer was a 10/10, I would highly recommend the shrimp tempura, it was amazing! The risotto was also incredible, the texture was great and the flavor was on point. We also ordered an assortment of cocktails, my favorite was the Wild Berry mojito. The restaurant itself was busy and full of people but we had plenty of space and privacy. I will definitely be back, I can't recommend this place enough.

First, the servers were outstanding, so friendly and helpful that you feel taken care of from the moment you walk in. Even though you'll have a main server, anyone on the team is quick to assist if you need something. The restaurant is very clean and well lit. The only note is that parking is strictly valet, so plan for that. The food was fantastic across the board (just as we remembered it). We tried the croquetas de jamón (ham croquettes) and queso frito (fried cheese) to start, and both were fresh, crispy, and perfectly prepared! For our entrees, I went with the pollo empanada (breaded chicken) while my husband had the bistec empanada (breaded steak), we each got a side of arroz y habichuelas (white rice & red beans). I added maduros and garbanzos on the side, the garbanzos were easily some of the best I've had in Puerto Rico! What stood out to me as well was that the owner, René, he made a point to walk around and greet every single guest, thanking them for stopping by. That kind of personal touch says a lot for me. Overall, I'd recommend Burbujas by Rene to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Puerto Rican comida criolla. Definitely worth a visit!

"Me: Piña Coladas in the rainforest? Puerto Rico: We got that!"…read more After an amazing day of driving through and exploring the El Yunque National Forest with my girlfriend we saw this place on the side of the road on our way out and I told my girlfriend, Stooop! After I saw the piña colada sign. LMAO at her reaction :D Bro, I swear I can't get enough of them while I am on a tropical island. Anyways. They were closing so she ran up and grabbed me one to go and we shared it on our drive back to Condado. Was it great? No! Was it good? Yes! This is just one of those tourist trap places that sell things that people will buy. TBH: It looked like a cool little spot to chill after a hike plus my gf said the guy who waited on her gave us a hefty pour of rum. Much love to that guy for treating his customers right. If you're up in the rainforest make sure to stop by here for some drinks or a bite to eat. I am sure you'll love the vibes :) Disfrutar!

And I squirmed a little when they said everything on their display window "had" to be fried (why???). That said, the service was prompt and polite (if not a bit dispassionate). The chicken shish kebab fresh off the grill was incredible and deserves 5 stars. The tacos were just OK. I felt they were too heavy being double-fried. Overall this isn't a bad choice if you're hungry on the ride home from El Yunque and want to grab a snack.
