Awesome beach restaurant. Views of the beach and the food and drinks are great. You could also sit on the beach and come up for a few beers/drinks or snack if you run out of them.... They seem to make the best Shrimp Pastalillos that I have had across the island so far.

Experiencing a Chinchorreo Sunday Drive is an experience!

Chinchorreos are fritters. On Sundays, you can start in the mountain town of Cayey and have a combination of Mojitos and various snacks and continue on a series of little stores off the road for more. There are 3 main Chinchirreo routes in PR. One starting in Cayey and ending in Aibonito which is an awesome mountain town, a second that goes from San Juan through the Pinones area up to the Luquillo Kioskos and the third on the western side.
