My second time to eat here. Food is excellent. On this particular trip we had a waitress who did not bother to come back and check on you- she was more interested in folding t-shirts sitting at the bar. You had to go to her if you needed something. Let me say our last trip the waiter did a great... More

My wife and I stopped by this dive after a day of snorkeling! Good thing we did! This was the best we've had in PR! We had the conche appetizer, the spicy grouper and grilled dolphin! It did not disappoint! Possibly the best grouper I've ever had.... and I have had a lot! In a fine dining restaurant this would... More

We had dinner here and just loved this place. When we arrived every table was taken and told it would be a short wait. The staff kept coming by to apologize for the wait, which we kept telling them not to worry about. In total we maybe waited five minutes for a table. Not a big deal at all. The... More

Awesone fried grouper with veggetables. Opt for the spicy version rather than the garlic butter sauce; too much butter.

Liked everything about this place. Ceviche was excellent. No reservations so go early or late. Even when we left about 10 it was crowded.

After a few failed try's at restaurants , when we had almost given up.....we went to El Varadero! We were greeted and seated immediately by the host/bartendar, who recommended the Bushwacker cocktail as well as the snapper appetizer - we went with both and they were fabulous! I decided to stay with the trend and asked our waitress what she... More

We loved this restaurant. All the people we dealt with we're great - from the bartender who we spoke to on the phone, to the person who helped us when we couldn't find the restaurant, to all who served us there. And the food and drinks were fabulous too. I had grouper diablo and the grouper was beyond fresh. I... More

We had fantastic service here in a great environment. The food was way above average and just shy of fantastic. We will return on our next trip.

The food was great, and the prices were reasonable, but the staff was the best part! We went twice, and they remembered us the second time - that feels good when you're far from home! Our waitress even brought us conch fish to sample after we raved about the ceviche. Super casual and fun atmosphere - just our style!

This place was recommended to us by many, many locals, as well as other reviewers on Trip Advisor. Our experience was quite different. The location is great. It is located right inside the marina. It is a very casual place. Prices are reasonable. However, we found the food to be unpalatable. Yes, the portions are large, but when we go... More
