Loved this little spot. It was walking distance from our hotel, and the food for breakfast did not disappoint. The waffle was amazing. My only thought was the ice coffee was a little sweet for my liking, but overall well worth the stop!

The Pina Coladas are absolutely amazing! However avoid the ceviche tacos, they gave me food poisoning and I was sick for the next two days which was really disappointing

Small bar and cafe with really good drinks and solid food options, the fried pork bites are highly recommended. I’d definitely recommend the piña colada here as well. Really great location because you can walk right across the street to or from the beach.

The best PinaLoca and CocoLoco we had in Puerto Rico. Must try for tourists!!! We took a beans taco and chicken taco. Both were good. But drinks beat them all.

I really wanted to like this place a lot more but it was average at best.The food was not great and expensive. Not my favorite combination.The service was good.We were able to watch a BSN playoff game while we were there which was a nice experience. Lets go Bayamon!

This place is horrendous. The only good thing was the strong drinks and location close to the beach. Otherwise, the beef nachos were not good and neither were the ceviche tacos. On top of that, we found a hair in our nachos. We sent it back and didn’t charge us. One redeeming quality was the service. They were very fast and our server was nice.

The food and drinks were great. I had the breaded shrimp and sweet potato fries and my friend skirt steak and tostones. The drinks were just what we needed. The service was amazing. Our server was attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We came when it was slow, on a Monday. We enjoyed every minute!
