    This is fresh food, the owner himself is the fisherman, you will not get fresher and the prices are very affordable. He took care of our table, we all eat lobster. I recommend this place and will definitely return. Be aware that they cook at the order, so enjoy some drinks and appetizers before.

    If you are visiting Fajardo there is a little piece of heaven waiting for you. El Pescador is a seafood eatery close to the ocean that delivers on fresh lobster 🦞 dishes and steak 🥩alike. I recommend this casual joint if you care for your food, love the caribbean atmosphere and enjoy the vibe with an outstanding cocktail🍹 in front of you. You cannot reserve a table, but if you wait it is well worth it! The lobster is currently $ 25 per pound including your choice of side and a tasty salad. The next time I am Puerto Rico 🇵🇷I will make a detour and come back again.

    Very friendly service and delicious seafood on the coast; it was the perfect place to fuel up before the start of our kayak tour across the street. The mojito was spectacular, as was the fish and chicken sandwiches. Wish we had more time to try their other fish dishes but we were short on time before our tour. The staff was very kind and informed us which menu items would come out quicker which was greatly appreciated.

    Randomly picked this restaurant while waiting for our kayak tour. It turns out to be quite a great surprise. The hog fish dish was the best fish we had from San Juan to this area. Amazing and fresh. Seasoned just perfectly. Pina colada was too sweet though.

    Absolutely love this restaurant and we did come twice in a row. The food is reasonably priced and the fried fish is the best among all I have tried (stayed for a week on this island)! The vegetables comes with mango and vinegar blended flavor which taste delightful and fresh. One thing you might need to watch out - mosquitoes! That is the only caveat.

    It was a great place to eat. Limited seating so get there earlier if possible. We order the 2.5 pound lobster and the local grill hogfish with grilled veggies and Caribbean salad. Drink: yunque snow and piña colada Everything tasted amazing, we parked across the street, so is an easy walk for us. The parking just fill up quickly. Keep that in mind. Our waiter was very nice and gave us his favorites on the menu. They also have desserts as well. It’s not on the menu you would have to ask we were so full we were not able to eat any, but they do have chocolate cake and flan.

    Stopped here for dinner after finishing a bioluminescent bay tour. The seafood was so fresh. I had the deshelled lobster with coconut pineapple rice and demolished it. Best food we had in Fajardo by far.

    Can I just say, we had the best food ever! The lobster with cilantro rice was spectacular . My husband had the lobster with curry rice and he absolutely hands down was obsessed it the taste. We also had the fish bites that were fresh. Everything is fresh!!! Glad we came and definitely will repeat the visit. The waitress Kay, was really good. If in las Croabas this is a must stop Let me know what you think.

    Crab salad appetizer was unreal. Shrimp mofongo was a very generous portion. Amazing. Long wait times but worth it

    LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE! Delicious food (which is vegetarian friendly!) And massive yummy drinks. Very courteous wait staff and Amazing atmosphere. It's also one of the few places that was open on a week night !

    Very flavorful food with a relaxed atmosphere. 😌 just a walk from the Conquistador Resort. We loved the lamps hanging from the ceiling. They're made of driftwood 🪵 👌

  • 5/5 Connor H. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic meal. I had shrimp in a criolle sauce (lovely flavor) with curry and pineapple rice and it was delicious. The Caribbean side salad was crisp and refreshingly spinach centric with walnut and cranberry. The mojito(s) I had with it were amazing as well. This place has much more class and quality than I expected when I sat down. The meal would not look out of place at a fancy spot in metro city, and it was as tasty as it looked. The staff was attentive and friendly. Food did take a bit (enough to finish the first mojito) but it was well worth my patience. I recommend this place if you have 45-60 minutes and an appetite for high quality, fresh food.

    Everything we had was exceptional! The drinks were large, delicious and strong. The food was light and fresh. We had the lobster and shrimp. The service was friendly as always. Would highly recommend.

    Be prepared to wait for your food for a long time, but when it comes out, be prepared for absolutely delicious seafood. The octopus with criolla sauce was well seasoned and very tender; the best octopus I've had. My friend didn't like the vegetable mofongo as much, but that's perhaps expected for not ordering fish at a seafood restaurant.

    Great atmosphere, owner is amazing but we had to wait a little for a little to get a table and ended up eating outside near the street. The food was alright the calamari was the best I have ever had. Would recommend as long as your willing to be flexible

  • 5/5 Ivelisse L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and welcoming restaurant. Good Sama fish (pink snapper) Juice,tender ànd the criolla (homemade sauce) taste better. I had a really good coconut sangria 😋 Cilantro rice really good but my daughter has allergies to almonds ⚠️ ⚠️ Side salad was served with peanuts,almonds and others nuts for the safety off the costumers with allergies will be SAFE & better if they ask or put it separate ⚠️ 📢 🚨

    What looks like a beach side bar is a great restaurant. Judging by our dinner and the plates served around us the Chef knows what he’s doing. Menu appears to be mostly Puerto Rican standards served with a twist. Service was good, very friendly and helpful. Drinks and dinner were delicious.

  • 5/5 Maia B. 2 years ago on Google
    Our family really enjoyed our meal. It is a perfect beach setting and feeling. The service was slow but we expected that and enjoyed the drinks and each other's company. We ordered the steak and whole lobster with mofongo, conch, and shrimp. All was very good and the portions were large.
