Isla de Vieques Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Isla de Vieques
The glowing Mosquito Bay is a vision of bizarre beauty. Thanks to a bioluminescent microorganism, the water is a cool electric blue, looking somewhat like a fantastical sci-fi lagoon. Kayak or hop into a clear-bottomed pontoon boat to glide along the neon waters. Swimmers and snorkelers will adore the pristine, undeveloped beaches. Keep an eye out for the playful feral horses that gallop along the dunes, or visit the stately ceiba tree that’s been keeping watch over the highland for three centuries.

I don't understand the good reviews for this place. The food is good until we received a rare piece of pork that was severely undercooked. We turned it back and the owner promptly informed us that there were articles written 10 years ago how red pork is ok to eat (isn't the customer always right?). She then proceeded to say to order another meal as she didn't want us to be hungry. Assuming that would be comped we complied and were charged for everything and further harassed by staff when questioning why we were being charged for their mistake. Worst experience in a restaurant I have ever had in my life (they threatened to call the police when we refused to pay for their mistake as well saying that this is the Spanish police and you don't want to mess with them). What a joke.

Great breakfast, but most of all GREAT service! We were greeted by Joe (known locally as "Barefoot Joe") who really went out of his way to making sure that everthing was ok on a rainy morning. Great french toasts and coffee was really good which had refill. My wife loved the breakfast potatoes. More on the pricey side but definitely would recommend.

I tried to look for a good meal at this place, but the options weren't great. Mostly it has sandwiches and burgers. I ordered rice and beans it was even cold and with none puertorrican tastes. It wasn't a great option to have a great meal. In the outside the place looks great but you go in, its not so good looking.

Reviewed By Jane R - Austin, Texas, United States
You will feel like a local when you walk up to the gated door and order your fresh bread for the day. Or, opt for some do-nuts. They reach through the gate/door to take your money and hand you your order. Sandwiches and other items available too, if you are a little more hungry. Good place to stop on your way to a morning adventure. Did not seem to be open later in the day. You can sit outside on the few tables/chairs if you want to eat there.

Caribbean lobster, local market fish, house dry aged beef, home made pastas. A menu that encompasses American cuisine with Caribbean flair with something for everyone.

The food was amazing. The pork chop was the best I have had in my entire life. The seafood was off the chart. You must ask for the home made pickles - that's right pickles. Get a Kettle One Martini - and add a few of their pickles - Unbelievable!!

Stopped in with friends after an event in town. We just wanted something light so ordered appetizers and salads. The most tender conch in the tostone cups and the octopus appetizer was so good we ordered more! The salads were made from fresh local greens and you could tell.
