El Likuar

El Likuar on the west side of Puerto Rico is an absolute gem. The owner is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet — genuinely warm and made us feel completely at home from the moment we walked in. Hospitality like this is hard to find anywhere. The drinks are outstanding. I have had mojitos all over the Caribbean and this was hands down the best I have ever had. Not even close. Do not leave without trying the conejo (rabbit) empanadas. Incredible. The kind of food you are still…

A cozy store by the road selling empanadas and other small eats and drinks. The inside is a convenience store-style mart along with some interesting slot machine games. I ordered four empanadillas, one rabbit, one beef, one chicken, one octopus. They were all decent tasting, but the rabbit one was the juiciest by far. They also have some live music here, and televisions playing sports games. If I were a local, this would be a really neat hangout spot.

Chill vibes, but unfortunately the service was really off. Straight forward order and everything came out separately. The churrassco was super salty and there was a side dish we never ended up getting even after asking 2x for it. Love local bars and restaurants but this one was just not it.

Watched Argentina v England at the restaurant and the atmosphere was lit. Folks went crazy when Argentina tied and the scores the go ahead goal. As for the food, we just had empandillas and other apperitivos. The outdoor seating is comfortable and accommodating. The wait staff is super friendly.

Great and happy place! Live music and karaoke on weekends, good drinks and appetizers, fritters, and more. Friendly staff. Nice environment. Definitely a locals favorite!
