3. The English Rose Restaurant

Reviewed By Infinitegusto
We have previously visited the English Rose and have no qualms about its orderly business administration (ie., a rather rigorous and usually punctual Reservations system, a relatively diligent service) , its beautiful top of the hill location, its priviledged view from the balcony tables, the steep but intriguing rural road access and an efficient parking allocation in an otherwise limited space. In short, this mainly breakfast/ brunch restaurant offers sufficiently interesting qualities to fulfill a visit with a satisfying, uncommon experience. But, of course, we also go there for its food, right? And it is precisely here where we notice some diminishing elements given its rather elevated menu prices. This time we were surprised about the somewhat unsophisticated aesthetics of dish presentations: mushy greens bed over a significantly burned croissant with meat arranged in a tasteless, unrefined mountain covered by a carelessly placed egg crowned with a thick, uninviting sauce. Perhaps you can argue that their fare is inclined towards a "country", deep south style interpretation of British or international breakfast dishes. Regardless, it appears that the current cook/chef is in dire need of training or supervision with regards to making a dish elegantly attractive and using only the most fresh and crisp embellishment ingredients. Therefore, we suggest owners to take the uncompromising road of excellence in the care of details that could make a difference between running a restaurant for road truckers or gourmet oriented customers.
4. The Pool Bar

Pool Bar Sushi is a landmark in Rincon with its tropical, unique atmosphere and fresh sushi with cold local beers. Surf flicks play on a giant screen above the pool surrounded with tables to eat and drink.
Reviewed By Ana K - Mayaguez, Puerto Rico
Almost six months after Hurricane Maria, I am somewhat happy to say that they still serve the same menu, with somewhat faster service than in 2015 (my last review). The seared tuna is still good. The crab wantons are still bad (unless you like cream cheese overpowering the crab). They ALWAYS run out of decent wine, so if you drink beer, maybe not a problem. Oh, and bring lots of cash, because they cannot take credit cards or ATMs. When sent to an nearby ATM, they were closed, so please come prepared. No photos, since nothing much has changed since 2015, except you can see more nearby dwellings due to lack of folliage caused by the hurricane.

I really like this restaurant. The location is awesome right on the beach of Aguada & the monfongo relleno de camarones was amazing!! However, I'm disappointed that we couldn't use our credit card because the system was down & we weren't told till we were ready to pay. We asked for a cup of coffee when we were finished eating, they had no coffee ready & told us it would take a little while to make a fresh cup of coffee. Well they told us they were unable to make the coffee for some reason. Otherwise, the service was just okay which was disappointing for being such a nice restaurant. The food definitely made up for the lack of service!
6. Guayabo's Tropical Sunset

This was my third or fourth visit to Tropical Sunset. This was on a Thursday evening and very late (9:30 PM). My other visits were at very busy times and this visit was different with very few diners. We were greeted enthusiastically by the waitress who was very friendly and helpful throughout the evening. We sat on the porch next to the railing and the sound of the surf right next to us. There were five of us and two of us had a pina colada. They were the best! All of the food was wonderful. I had Mero with white rice. There were four or five fillets in a butter/lemon sauce. Wonderful with the rice. My lady friend had Mofongo with lobster. Again, very good. We had a 13 year old Gringo with us. She ordered Amarillos for the first time and was reluctant to share - she liked them. We were dining late as we had been at the art walk in Rincon. The bill was very modest - about $55 for the food and drink for five of us. It was so good that I tipped more than usual. We recommend it for excellent Puerto Rican food!

We enjoyed our lunch here...great PR food made fresh. The stuffed mofongo was some of the best we have tasted and the chicken stew was delicious! The location is great- on a river...the staff was friendly and bilingual. We plan to return!

Don't be scared off by the location (on a busy road). The parking attendant was helpful, service was friendly, and the food was delicious. The whole fried snapper with coconut curry (a special) was my favorite meal of the trip, and my husband loved his seafood paella. Definitely worth a visit.
9. Parrilleria Vacas Gauchas

Reviewed By PCmonkey - Ohio
This has been a featured Rincon restaurant for the past several years -- and now it has reopened post-hurricane. In some ways it's better than ever and certainly offers a meaningful up-scale dining experience. It has some unique menu items and the service is appropriately attentive, without imposing diners. They offer a nice but expensive wine list. One slight detraction -- only two beers available. They seem to always provide high quality ingredients. Great to seem them back in business...but be advised, you pay for the quality and ambiance.
10. La Copa Llena at The Black Eagle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 471 reviews
The management team of Casa Islena Restaurant (also known as The Tapas Bar) has proudly taken over the the historic Black Eagle Restaurant, rechristening it "La Copa Llena". Located right on the ocean, specifically the south side of the Tres Palmas Marine Preserve, people have been enjoying the sunsets from the Black Eagle deck since the 1970's. The combination of Chef Brendan Basham's cuisine, Casa Islena's charm, and the view of the waves, whales, and sunsets, provides a singular Rincon dining experience. With the adoption of a larger space, Brendan has been able to expand the menu and experiment more while maintaining the strict standards of quality that the local community and returning tourists have come to expect for the last 6 years. We have included some of our old favorites such as the char-grilled octopus with heirloom beans and papaya salad, and introduced some incredible new dishes like poke (yellowfin tuna, avocado, and seaweed), coconut steamed mussels with homemade chorizo and fresh herbs, and a 20 oz. T-bone steak with flageolet-corn succotash and a yukon-parsnip mash. As always, the menu tends to change upon the availability of ingredients, keeping the chef creative and our guests surprised. Brunch is served Sundays from 10am-2pm with diverse offerings such as brown butter crepes and southwest style chilaquiles (eggs scrambled with fried corn tortillas and green chile-tomatillo salsa). Happy hour everyday from 3pm until 7pm includes $2 Medallas, $3 well drinks, and $4 house wine. And we're excited to continue the legacy of the ever entertaining Wednesday night Bingo starting around 9pm. Sunset live music Sundays from 4pm-7pm.Buen Provecho!

Nice to see this place back after the hurricane. We always try to get at least one dinner here during our annual visit. Once again we were pleased with both the ingredients, preparation and especially the service associated with our meal. I'd certainly give the place an excellent rating except for one issue -- their alcohol prices are excessive. My advice is to have your drink first and stick to the food items.
