La Cueva del Mar | Calle Loíza

Came here after a recommendation from my hotel, and I’m so glad I did. I ordered one fish taco to try and the fried red snapper with tostones. The fish taco was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The snapper took a little while to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. I sat at the bar, and the service was amazing — super friendly and attentive, in both English and Spanish. Great experience overall.

Great fresh seafood and reasonable price. The food was good. We came back a couple times. Shrimps here taste fresh and are great quality. I’m from a seaport town so I can always tell when the seafood place is serving poor quality seafood. We tried two different kids of fishes here so far and they have not tasted fishy at all. The fish we ordered was a little tough and overcooked. We actually saw a chef recheck the ticket, say “shit”, put back the fish in the oven while he remade the sauce. And the server brought that very dish to us. I recommend the shrimp dishes over other dishes.

We went at night on a Friday night, the service was fast and staff was all nice. The waiter recommended some dishes for my friend and I we had the fried fish and the ceviche. It was really delicious. We also had mojitos de parcha which were really good! Definitely recommend 10/10 price was reasonable for quality of food.

I came in today for a quick lunch and Melvin took care of me. I decided to order more food and more drinks because he made me feel welcome , was so cool and nice. I used to be a server for many years and the way he kept checking in me is really the ideal experience. The food is great too. I had the ceviche and sangria , yes the 1/2 pitcher haha

San Juan, PR We didn’t need reservations and were seated right away. This is seafood and meat. Very little for a vegetarian. But a few choices. I had the vegetable mofongo. A cheese empanada. A passion fruit mojito. Bottled water. My husband had oysters, which were from Boston. Go figure. Horseradish sauce served with it was bland. Blue Moon beer. If you know anything about the beer it’s served with an Orange. This was served with a bit of Orange juice in the glass. That’s a new one. Not fresh squeezed either. I also order truffle fries which were good. My husband had Mahi Mahi with capers and a lemon sauce. I’m not sure I’d come again. I’d rather try the other restaurants. Parking is valet or if you’d like to fund street parking you can. The area looks a bit sketchy to some I would say. I’m not intimidated but I think some might be. Try it. If you love seafood or meat, you’ll love this More vegetarian options would be appreciated. Even the rice and beans had meat.
