We had a very disappointing experience here. From the start, we didn’t feel very welcomed — as a brown couple, we sensed a bit of discriminating attitude from some of the staff. We ordered two appetizers (Crispy Pana & Corn Gordita and Mariscada Martini) along with drinks. The food took around 20 minutes, which was fine, but one of the dishes came out completely wrong. When we pointed it out, the person who seemed to be the manager was quite rude and insisted that we had ordered an entrée — even though the item we mentioned was clearly listed only under appetizers. Instead of listening, she gave us attitude. Thankfully, our server later apologized and admitted it was her mistake. The food itself was just okay for the price — nothing impressive. Overall, the service and attitude completely ruined the evening. Definitely not worth the hype or the price, and we wouldn’t go back.

What a gem right on the Vieques beachfront! El Quenepo offers stunning views that make every meal feel like a tropical escape. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared—and the drinks hit the spot too. Our waiter multitasked as the bartender and handled everything with efficiency despite the busy vibe. Just a heads up: you’ll order everything at once, which keeps things streamlined. We noticed the team could use better communication tools like headsets for smoother coordination (e.g., when we wanted a small tweak to our order, the food runner directed us back to our waiter). But honestly, these are minor nitpicks—the overall experience was top-notch, and we’d highly recommend it for anyone visiting Vieques. Can’t wait to return!

We made reservations through the app on the website and were immediately created with smiles and shown straight to our seats. From the wine list and cocktails to amazing duck and goat dishes, we had an amazing time.

2025 update- our server, Samantha (Sammy) was amazing-extremely attentive and engaging, and excellent at describing dishes we did not understand just from reading the menu. We only ate at El Quenepo one time as a splurge this year. First I had a delicious mocktail, and grilled pears while my husband had “la sopa de la noche” which was a seafood bisque/chowder. As main course, I had the yellowfin tuna “BLT,”and my husband had duck with peas and pomegranate seeds. All were delicious and innovative, as we have come to expect at El Quenepo. Google would not let me write a whole second review or I would include more detail. Quenepo is still the best, most innovative haute cuisine we have had in Vieques, but it is pricey, so we only went once this year. Written in 2024- Quenepo is the best place in Vieques I have found for a gourmet “foodie” meal. We dined in for the second time tonight and it was amazing! We were greeted at the door and escorted to our (reserved) table. Our server, Adam, was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and noted every detail. We started with a piña colada and a tall glass Moscow mule. Adam understood exactly what we wanted, and both drinks were expertly made. Our appetizers were the Mariscada Martini (ceviche) and the mesquite grilled prawns. I cannot overstate it- the ceviche was the best I have ever had-fresh squeezed citrus, tomato, jalapeño, fresh ginger, and cilantro -served with crisp arepas. My husband had the pan seared Long Island duck breast over fontina risotto cake with mission fig ratatouille and pomegranate molasses, and I had the Sicilian shellfish sautee over linguine. Both were outstanding!

Update: 2025 Last year i gave this place 5 stars, this year it’s not even close. It’s hard to judge a restaurant based on one experience, but that’s the business. The service is still slow and not excellent. The fish and ceviche are very good. Do not get steak here! They have no clue what medium rare means and the price is 67$. It’s still an ok choice for fine dinning and still not cheap. The drinks are still good. 2024: Great food, but somewhat limited menu. Probably one of the best on the island. Service is slow, but not unusual for the area. Great drinks. Make a reservation here. Not cheap.

This is our fourth visit to Vieques since 2018 and our second time dining at El Quenepo. Tonight's meal was one of the best meals we've ever on the island, which is saying something, as we've had some very memorable experiences in previous visits, both here and at other restaurants on the island. We are always amazed at the culinary expertise and experience that can be found on this tiny little island. We had the Yellowfin Tuna “Poke" and Warm Housemade Focaccia Bread for appetizers, the Yellowfin Tuna BLT and Filet Mignon for entrees, and the Goat Cheese Cheesecake for dessert. The Filet Mignon was melt-in-your mouth tender and the combines flavors of the Yellowfin Tuna BLT, with the tomato, arugula, tuna, pancetta, and sauce, were amazing. If you've made it to Vieques, but haven't visited El Quenepo, do yourself a favor and make reservations. Be prepared for the "island time" service experience, which isn't a bad thing. This place is always at or near the top of our 'must visit' list when we come to Vieques and we highly recommend it.

I cannot believe how amazing this restaurant was. Creative cocktails and imaginative, extraordinarily prepared food. Service was top notch. Hard to believe this restaurant is in a small beach town and not a big city. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

*This is a review based on the restaurant only* We were nervous to go to a 3.9 stars restaurant initially then I realized the restaurant and the guesthouse are combined which I didn’t think it was that fair. And to the review below, no restaurant is obligated to split bills, they have this rule on their website and the menu. Anyways, our options were limited on a Monday night (same with Sunday) as many places were closed but their menu has a ton of options unlike other places we’ve gone on the strip. I really wanted the whole fried fish but that was sold out just before I got there (around 7:30pm) so I got a trio seafood with 3 different types of fish with lobster risotto. Which was good but not something I’d order again (I don’t like peppers.) My husband got carne Fritas with plantains and rice and beans - which were amazing! Crispy yet tender at the same time. Good flavor too. Generous portions which we took home and had leftovers for breakfast before our ferry ride in the AM. Our “small” hot honey wings came with 10 pieces, which were small and the flavor was alright, it itched my wings cravings lol. Oh and we got rum and coke and mudslide which were not skimmed on alcohol. It was an overall positive experience for us, which made it better with Daniel our server, who was so attentive and kind.

The restaurant is pretty good! Food was great, we ordered fish tacos and chicken tenders. We all really liked our orders, I enjoyed that they uave coleslaw and it was good. Service was great, our server was nice, friendly and warm. However, they don't split checks which is a big bummer! Also, they charge an 18% "service fee", which is really the tip and is OPTIONAL in Puerto Rico but they charge it as a mandatory fee. Should be left up to the customer. And i'm the kind of customer who always tips; but it's a choice.

We ate at Bananas Beach Bar twice during our stay in Vieques, and both times the food was absolutely excellent — big portions, super tasty, and perfectly cooked. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and special shoutout to Kiara, the owner’s daughter and the sweetest hostess ever (give Kiara a raise ). Overall, an amazing experience — highly recommended! 🌴✨

This review is for the restaurant only. We were greeted immediately upon entry. The cocktails were delicious. We ordered the calamari, mahi bites and chips and salsa. All were delicious! They had excellent side dips for the fish. The service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant yesterday. Both the main dishes grilled red snapper (also did not taste as fresh as what you would expect in an island like Puerto Rico) and pork chops seemed unseasoned. The “homemade” guava cheesecake was not good either. Not creamy and the guava taste was almost nonexistent - just a small swirl of guava jam on top. Maybe because it’s off season and all the regulars are on vacation. The drinks (non alcoholic passion fruit shake and a frozen banana alcoholic drink) were also mediocre for the price $7-9. We were the only ones there but the waitress wasn’t clearing our plates before we had a dessert.

Listen I’m never this judgmental about a place because I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. The food was just not good. The burger was burnt and no flavor. The pork chops were soggy and fried to a state that just made it worse. On an island where we’ve been to multiple times we’ve tried all kinds of food and some amazing some bad, the only way to state this restaurant was BAD. Too great of a location to have food this bad. Disappointing.

Service was good, food came out hot and fresh. The food however was not good. Alfredo was watery and flavorless. Lobster risotto was way too mushy and flavor okay. Fish and chips were good. Paella was about a 3out of 5. Shrimps were a pretty good size. Overall, I would not return.

Good, oceanfront restaurant with good food. I got exactly what I expected. The wedge salad was good. A little heavy on the dressing but still. The fish tacos were good but the fish was a bit on the dry side. I think shrimp tacos might have been better. Atmosphere and service were excellent and you can’t beat the location.

We were on a trip, and it was our first time visiting Vieques. Went with a group of friends (5 of us total), and we had a great time! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. It was a fun stop during our travels, and everything came out just right. Definitely recommend it if you’re visiting the area.

Duffy’s was cool! We went for the vegan options which are extremely limited in Vieques. A good portion of the menu could be veganized by substituting with the Praegger veggie burgers. We had the faux fish tacos, burgers, and plantain canoe (maduros). We also had rice, beans, fries, and piña coladas. It was all delicious! The restaurant is situated facing the water and the ambiance is wonderful. It was a little pricey for the portions but we enjoyed ourselves and the service was good.

Duffy's is a great spot in Esperanza to stop for a meal or drink. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was good, we had the red snapper and double double. They have a selection of PR beers and plenty of specials to try. The views are great and worth the stop regardless if you are at a table or a bar swing.

Lunch was chill here, no lines. The fresh fried snapper was AMAZING!!!! The best fried fish ever!! 2 of us finished the 3lb extra large one (we thought we couldn’t but it was so tasty)

This is a very neat place. We only stopped in to grab a drink but briefly peaked at the menu as well as saw others food and it looks delicious. I will be eating there on the next trip to Vieques. Highly recommend the Pina Colada!!! The seats are very creative and add a fun twist

Amazing fish tacos fries and fish fry! Plus their pina colada is amazing! And you get to keep the cup for a free souvenir!

Ate twice here while visiting. Relaxed vibe, kind and friendly staff, nice drinks and delicious food. I eat a plant based diet which limited my options, but I found 2-3 great choices there, and all were made with care (not just meat dishes without the meat). The vegetarian paella was especially delicious! I heard the seafood one was too. Highly recommend.

Restaurante Bili is definitely a very popular restaurant, in a bustling part of town; and it tends to be busy each and every day (for dinner) that they are open!! So, I say all this to say - make sure to make a reservation if you’d like to avoid a long wait &/or disappointment with there not being a table available. We were extremely lucky to have gotten a table with a relatively short wait on a busy evening. Likely because it was within the last hour of the restaurant’s opening!! Now - on to the best part… the FOOD! The creamy pumpkin soup with an arepa was really delicious!!! Full of flavour, prepared with passion and love and I would definitely go back for more! For our mains, my sister and I decided to both have the seasonal fresh caught fish with Puerto Rican yellow rice - YUMMMM! My only regret is that the fish was not big enough… I would have loved MORE! Overall this was a great dining experience.

Absolutely recommend Restaurante Bili! We got right in at 6:30 on a Tuesday. The staff was super friendly and attentive without making us feel rushed. We had the appetizer sampler which was three small bites of each option which was so good and perfect for two people. I wish they bottled the chimichurri they have with the Empanadas! The cod fritters are SO good and not too fishy. Great for kids who like fish sticks. The mofongo bite - delightful. The corn and cheese bites with tomato jelly are the sweet treat of the plate. We also ordered the lobster, as its caught locally, and did NOT regret it! Grilled to perfection, juicy on the inside and served with lime and butter. It was large enough for two people to split, as well as the portions of rice and beans. The rice was cooked to perfection and the beans you could tell had been cooked low and slow, so much flavor! We also saw that the chef cooking our lobster was a woman, even better! ;) Grilled plantains came with the chef as well and were the perfect dessert. So, compliments to the chef it was absolutely delicious! Dont sleep on this spot.

We arrived in Vieques late on a weekend and happened to stumble upon this spot by chance, as many other restaurants were closed. We’re so glad we did! Everything—from the food to the service was absolutely wonderful. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The highlight of our meal was without a doubt the grilled lobster—hands down the best either of us has ever had! If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and make sure to stop by.

This place is a solid 4.5 stars. Everything is good, but slightly overcooked. Drinks were excellent.

We really enjoyed our meal! The staff was so nice and there are lots of options for people who don’t feel like red meat. I had crab pasta and my husband had a great chicken dish. The drinks were good too.

Amazing service. Food is good. We got the sampler and tostones con ensalada de carrucho. Bacalaitos is my favorite. Very flavorful. Then chicken empanadas is my second favorite. I like the chimichurri sauce a lot. I like appetizers better than entree. Grilled lobster and whole red snapper are good, but not the best I’ve had.

This restaurant was recommended and it did not disappoint. The service and food were great. Open air seating, but it was very breezy and comfortable. We enjoy the experience.

Tin Box Treehouse – Dinner Review Perched among the palms just outside Esperanza, Tin Box pulls off the rare trifecta of killer food, laid-back vibes, and service that feels like old friends catching up. Here’s the breakdown of our night: ⸻ Highlights • Service (11/10) Our server, Samantha, deserves her own line on the menu. She greeted us with a grin, answered every “What’s this sauce?” question, and somehow slipped island history into drink recommendations. When my toddler’s fork took a header off the deck, she reappeared with a fresh one before I could blink. Absolute heart of gold. • Ambiance (10/10) Imagine an oversized treehouse strung with Edison bulbs, a gentle trade-wind breeze, and swing seats at the sushi bar. Horses clopped by underneath while a local guitarist played Jack Johnson covers. If you’re looking for a “this is the Vieques I came for” setting, this is it. • Must-order plates • Badass Bacon – Candied, house-cured strips served in a mason jar. Sweet-smoky perfection and the fastest way to shut down table chatter. • BBQ Trio Platter – Ribs that slide off the bone, juicy pulled pork, and smoky chicken—with sweet-potato fries that disappeared faster than the meat. Perfect split for two. • Catfish Tacos – Crispy, flaky fillets, bright cilantro crema, and just enough jalapeño heat. A surprise standout. • Hush-Puppies – Listed as a side, but trust me: they’re dessert. Drizzled with local honey, light as beignets. • Drinks Frozen margaritas here are dangerously smooth—classic lime for me, passion-fruit for my wife. Samantha steered us toward a virgin mango colada for the kiddo, and we all left sipping happy. ⸻ Tiny Quibbles • The Sesame Ahi Tuna looked beautiful but ran a touch salty for our taste—still good, just overshadowed by that bacon. • Island pacing is real: entrées hit the table 25 minutes after apps. Nothing outrageous, but worth noting if you’ve got an overtired toddler. ⸻ Bottom Line Tin Box isn’t just a meal; it’s a tree-top evening you’ll brag about when you get home. Between Samantha’s five-star hospitality, plates that nail sweet–savory balance, and a setting straight out of a surf-lifestyle magazine, this spot earns a solid 5 / 5 from our crew. Go hungry, order the bacon first, and save room for those honey-kissed hush-puppies.

Such a fun place. The service was quick and knowledgeable about the menu. We had sushi lasagna and BBQ trio. Both were fantastic. Fresh, local juices in the drinks

Very unusual place both with menu selection as combination of BBQ and sushi. The baked beans side was amazingly different with heavy cilantro and other Caribbean flavors, and ribs and chicken great too. The multi level seating gives terrific views of the jungle backyard with several varieties of birds. However the choice of background music (80s disco and similar) really negated the ambiance, especially at a loud enough level to make talking difficult. It might be more supportive of the ambiance created by location to instead have microphones amplifying the natural sounds of the jungle for diners to enjoy. That might complement the food, or at least have music like new age instrumental that might lean toward sounds of running water and chines to better complement the sushi theme. The experience while tasty was discordant, creating uneasiness versus pleasure. There’s a lot of potential here to be better by focusing more consistently on what the intented essence is and do that very well. Also while BBQ had so many positives (although not he pulled pork wasn’t anything special), the calamari was way over cooked and tasteless.

This is the first time I've been to a restaurant that had sushi and something else and it's was good. The sushi on its own is great. The smoked ribs were perfection. Jalapeño watermelon margaritas were super tasty.

Cool all-outdoor restaurant with very interesting and unique flavor pairings, fresh ingredients, and well presented dishes. Only frustration was that my initial draft beer request took a very long time to fulfill, but food came quickly after. This place has lots of seating including booths for larger parties.

So good we had to go two nights in a row! The regular sushi had too much rice but I HIGHLY recommend the dragon egg sashimi ball. Yum.

Small, charming, lovely place for an excellent meal. Make reservations! We had the catch of the day served over yucca. This will make you very happy. Also the blackened shrimp with mole was quite good. The brownie with raspberry sauce was quite scrumptious. The cocktails were fun. This was the best meal in Vieques. Seriously, go here at least once. The service is great.

Best meal I had on the island! Lucked out by snagging a bar spot last minute so you’ll definitely want to make a reservation if you’re in a group. The bartender and staff made us feel right at home. Ordered the carnitas and enchiladas which seemed like simple dishes, but they were packed with flavor! It is reasonably priced and you get large portions. Their homemade hot sauces were served as a tasting flight with dinner and are available to buy online so you can always have a kick of Coqui Fire in your own home kitchen. Can’t recommend this place enough!

A fantastic find after a day of exploring beaches and the island. Their menu had plenty of labeled vegetarian options and was easily customizable. We loved sampling their hot sauce, though sadly, it wasn’t carry-on friendly. The chips, salsa, and guac were outstanding, and the drinks were unique and delicious. We tried the veggie burrito and salad, which were both excellent, while a friend raved about the chicken taco. The only letdown was the carrot cake with an oat-based layer—it wasn’t great. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and worth the visit. A must-try spot in Vieques!

From the outside the place doesn’t look anything special, and we were very cautious to eat there, as days before I had very bad food poisoning resulting in stomach sickness, diarrhea, 3-day fever, and skin rash (I even visited Vieques emergency room)… but there was not many places open on Jan 1, so we decided to give it try given the reviews. And oh my - it tremendously exceeded our expectations. We ordered Coqui salad which was simple, fresh, and healthy. My boyfriend ordered blackened shrimp and I got catch of the day - pan seared tuna. The food was tender and flavorful. After 10 days in Vieques it was one of the best meals we had on the island. And the staff were very friendly. And my stomach seems to be more than ok 😊 highly recommend!!

If you are looking for whitewashed Mexican food this is the place for you. Everything was bland and non authentic. I live in Northern California and I am blessed with excellent authentic Mexican food restaurants everywhere, this is definitely not aauthentic. To begin, the rice was basmati, the mole sauce for the enchiladas was ground up black beans, no cocoa or spices, and the chicken was flavorless. Just to make things worse, our hostess is waiting for us as we walk in and in a heavy German or Nordic accent instructs us to walk in and as we walk, stop at a podium, quickly take a picture of the menus and then hurry to the back of the restaurant to our table. Very precise and militaristic. Finally, dessert options straight from Costco, Reese's Cheesecake! Next time I am in Vieques I will make a point of avoiding this place. Not for me.

This is the first restaurant from San Juan to Vieques with acceptable customer service!!! Our waitress, Katie, was attentive, friendly, and welcoming! She answered all of our questions and was informative. The food was TOP OF THE LINE!! This is the best meal we have had our entire trip. Thank you for the finest meal for the end of our family vacation! We are beyond grateful!!!

A gem of a restaurant, everything was done perfectly, from service to food. The drinks were also fantastic. The menu is very fairly priced as well, which was refreshing to see for such a high quality meal. They also make a variety of their own hot sauces, which are all great! Highly recommended, hope to return in the future.

Lazy Jack's is a solid bar serving drinks, beer, shots, and food. It is not a fancy place put the servers are fun and the food is good. I had the fried fish tacos a couple times and tried several local beers. This your only real option after about 8 at night for travelers and locals alike.

Very cute simple establishment! No wait, seated right away! Very friendly staff, drink/food order taken right away. Food came out within 10 minutes and everything was fresh. We ordered Da Big Fish & Chips with fries (this can feed 2 people) and Lazy Jacks Burger with a salad! Our server was Daniel, very nice and great conversations. This is a must try place. If going at night, bring bug spray.

Lazy jacks is just a great place to grab some good grub and chill. TV's, great food, great drinks, great people.

The burger was top tier. We could taste the charbroil, and all the veggie topping were fresh and crisp. The piña colda was delicious, but sadly they were out of whipped creme. The painkiller topped with nutmeg brought this spot from dive bar digs to a place that knows good food and great vibes. They did forget to add our order in the system, but comped an add-on with no problem. Music and music videos were great entertainment along with the baseball game.

First day in Vieques. Not local food but hit the spot. Fish and chips was a huge portion. Chicken tacos were delicious. Service from Katelynn?(spelling) was great. All outdoor seating. Good view of the water.

We stopped in for drinks and had a great time! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the service was excellent. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy a few cocktails and an amazing view.

Lazy Jacks is a solid late-night spot, serving food well into the night when most other places have shut down. It’s often the only place on the street with music and a crowd, night after night. Some might say it’s not a ‘local’ spot, but hey—it’s open! The lively atmosphere, with people loudly playing dominoes, made sure I never forgot I was in Puerto Rico.

So good. Great little mom and pop stand. 2 pastelitos is just right, I went 3 because they are so good — and I’d do it again!

The food and services is amazing. If you get a chance to stop well worth it!

It was solid food at a reasonable price with a nice outdoor atmosphere (simple picnic tables). A lot of locals were eating there.

The food was ok. Though at times it felt it was a bit tasteless. The ambiance was decent but there were red ants crawling all over the place. The food was a bit expensive for the way it tasted. This place could do better!

This was our first time trying empanadas, and I'm worried if I get them anywhere else now, I'll be disappointed, because they were AMAZING here. The steak skewer was also fantastic. Just all around a great tasting experience. Service was also very quick, and had reasonable prices. Only spent 22 dollars for two of us to eat a very satisfying meal.

Great local foods and price. Especially chicken skewers are yummmmyy!! Service is quick, wait 10min and all 5 meals are here. Lady in the food track speaks English so that made it easy too. Lol

Amazing food but customer service could be improved. They are extremely quite and it can be a little awkward to say the least... And I speak Spanish to it wasn't a language barrier thing. Anyways overall the best pastelillos I've had in my life. Hands down will go again.

Location: good. Right next to the ocean so it’s nice to have a view Food: good. I got the lobster scramble. The lobster is very tender. The flavor itself is good, but not out of ordinary. Service: ok. They are busy, so service is a bit delayed.

Great service, great drinks, great vibes, breakfast was probably one of the best options on the island, but truthfully my mahi bites were quite fishy, and the other plates were okay. My espresso martini was amazing! Salmon toast was also delicious, I should have ordered two! Service was so warm and kind and fast, they never rushed us out and let us enjoy our drinks and the beautiful morning in Vieques.

Great breakfast at this little shack by the water. Friendly service. All the dishes were tasty and fresh. Very good latte! Not too many healthy options. Perfect breakfast by the beach.

You won’t regret coming to this place! Very friendly staff and incredible food. We came two mornings in a row! First had the omelette which was delicious and filling, great homemade hot sauce. Came back to try the pancakes after seeing how fancy they looked! Ordered turtles cheesecake and peanut butter banana. They also had incredible coconut coffee. Big thank you from your Canadian friends :)

THE coffee!!!!! Do not go anywhere else for breakfast or coffee. I am so glad we had the opportunity to eat here. We ate here with our 3 energetic boys and the staff could not have been more friendly. But the food and coffee- HEAVEN . They have homemade creamer mixed with coconut milk. It is DELICIOUS the food- wow. Best OMELETTE i have ever had . And THE VIEWS. Holy WOW.

Food was incredible, we got burritos and they were huge. Very flavorful, fresh vegetables, and very filling. The Bloody Mary was the star of the show, however. We weren’t going to get one until someone else recommended it, and wow was it fantastic. Super nice and friendly staff as well, answered all of our many questions about the island.

Friendly people and good vibes. Lots of breakfast options. Everything we tried was tasty. Their pancakes should be famous, really. The acai bowl is delicious, and we really enjoyed their Mediterranean breakfast burrito. The owners are good people.

I’ve eaten a whole fish every day I’ve been in Puerto Rico and this one was by far the best. Everything we order was prepared perfectly absolutely no notes on the food. The atmosphere on the other hand… bring bug spray, we got eaten alive.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Everything we had was delicious, especially the roasted pork. The flavor and tenderness of the meat was world class, easily giving some very famous BBQ joints a run for their money. The outdoor seating is shaded and situated next to a lovely little garden. The owners are a ton of fun to be around, and very kind. My only regret was not coming with a bigger appetite.

This would be my recommendation for those looking to eat homemade, local fare cooked by locals( actually born and raised in Vieques) and people/families who can respect that. My bf and I had a solid, fresh meal here after a long day at the beach. We ordered rice and beans, Pork chops, and sweet plantain, and I had the passion fruit juice. The beans were SO GOOD and the sweet plantain cooked perfectly. I’d probably get the chicken next time. The juice was deliciously refreshing. The eating space is open, and had bug spray to use (came in handy for mosquitos). We paid about 30 bucks with tip. The chef said she cooks Lechon on Saturday and Sunday- which I would hella go back for based on my experience.

Tucked one narrow block off Esperanza’s malecón, Rancho Choli looks like a humble roadside joint from the front—but walk past the order window and you step into a leafy, open-air patio laced with passion-fruit vines and picnic tables. The setting is casual enough for sandy flip-flops yet feels unmistakably Borincano—roosters crowing, salsa on the speakers, and the smoky perfume of a whole pig turning on the spit.  Food • Lechón asado: skin shatters like glass, the meat is glossy and porky—easily the best bite I had on the island. • Mofongo con cerdo: garlicky plantain mash crowned with chopped roast pork and a ladle of jus; ask for a squeeze of their house pique. • Pulpo con tostones: surprisingly tender octopus seared on the plancha, served with twice-fried plantain disks. Portions are generoso; two mains fed our family of three with leftovers for the beach. Prices run $12–$18 per plate—good value on Vieques.  Drinks No full bar, but they blend a killer parcha (passion-fruit) mojito and keep Medalla on ice. Non-drinkers should grab the house-made limonada fresca. Service & vibe Ran by a local family who treat you like cousins: the cashier patiently walked us through the rotating menu board, and the owner made the rounds to be sure everyone was happy. Orders arrive in biodegradable trays; buss your own table. Expect island time—our food took about 20 minutes, worth every second. Good to know • Open Tue–Sun, 11:30 a.m.–8 p.m.; closed Monday.  • Cash is king (they do take ATH Móvil if the signal cooperates). • Plenty of parking on Calle Almendro, but the road is rough—go slow in a rental. • Come early or call ahead if you want ribs; they sell out by mid-afternoon on weekends. Bottom line Rancho Choli nails the trifecta of Vieques dining: honest Puerto Rican cooking, warm hospitality, and fair prices. If roast pork and mofongo are on your edible bucket list, make this your first lunch stop after the ferry. I’d return in a heartbeat—and next time I’m saving room for the pastelillos everyone was raving about.

Went on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. One of the best meals I’ve had in PR so far. Chicken, tostones, and mamposteo (rice and beans), 10/10 would recommend. This is the go to lunch spot after a beach day.

Rancho Cholis is absolutely fantastic! The food is incredibly fresh and full of authentic flavors. The service is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a great meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the homemade rice and beans. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and a wonderful dining experience! Will definitely be coming back!

You cannot miss this place. It’s an easy 5/5, 10/10. The whole fish is a must try and it’s the freshest thing I’ve eaten this whole trip. The owners even started karaoke for my group and we had a great time.

Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is a solid and convenient gateway to Puerto Rico. The terminals are fairly easy to navigate, with clear signage in both Spanish and English. Security lines moved quickly during my visit, and the staff were professional and welcoming. There’s a good variety of dining and shopping options after security, offering everything from local Puerto Rican flavors to familiar brands. One downside: there aren’t any water bottle refilling stations, so plan ahead if you usually travel with a reusable bottle. Also, a heads up for travelers — you cannot bring pork products back to the mainland United States from Puerto Rico, and the airport has agricultural inspections to enforce this. The airport is generally clean and modern, though some areas could use a little refreshing. Transportation into San Juan is simple, with taxis and rideshares easy to find. Overall, it’s a positive experience and a smooth way to start or end your Puerto Rican adventure!

Arriving at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport was a good experience. The airport was clean, organized, and easy to get around. Signs for baggage claim and transportation were clear. My luggage came out quickly, and the whole process was smooth from landing to exit. A nice first impression of Puerto Rico!!

A very beautiful, not-too-huge airport; you can't get lost. Everything is self-explanatory; you can easily navigate from Terminal A to Terminal C. Car rentals are right across the street, making everything simple and easy to maneuver.

Get some seats in the airport, you have thousands of people coming off of cruise ships weekly that need to spend hours waiting for flights and you can’t go through security tell four hours before the flight so people have to sit on the floor. Little kids, the The elderly… tourism is one of the cores to your economy maybe you can find away for peoples long lasting impressions not be sore backs and bad moods

Very limited sit down options in B and C. The priority club was sad. Hopefully you’re not stuck here too long. Margaritaville was actually good with good service. The host told us it could take an hour or more to get food but we were fine on time and we ended up having good service but with a bit of an attitude which I kind of enjoyed anyway. I like a little personality. The food was hot and plentiful. I had the wings and they were good my husband had the tacos and he liked them. I saw the nachos and it was huge. We had to walk out on Metropol restaurant after the waiter had no idea of the items on the menu.

Easy to maneuver around. Get your luggages inspected by the agricultural check point, it will be on immediate right or left when you enter the airport. They will make you go back if you don’t do this. Have it inspected and then proceed to your airline baggage check in. Have your flight ticket(s) and ID ready for the TSA representative. Being prepared is setting yourself for success. Happy and safe travels!!

Easy airport love the vendors they have and the new decoration with all the singers artists looks great 😊
