Who hasn't felt the thrill of driving down the Cuesta de Guajataca, where you can take in the sea, the sky and Puerto Rico's old train route? You know the view we're talking about, but we're including it here so you can relive that first encounter.
Since you're already out and about in Quebradillas, why not stop for a bite? The following restaurants could be a perfect stop in the well-known Guarida del Pirata.
José and Leylanie, owners of Puerto Costero, are ready to offer you an exceptional culinary experience. You can order anything from a spread of appetizers to full entrées, including seafood dishes and stuffed mofongo. The restaurant sits in a quiet setting with views of the greenery surrounding it in Quebradillas.
What sets Carbón y Leña apart is the creative Puerto Rican cooking by Chef Maceta. Since 2017, they have offered the public a family atmosphere with a twist: on special occasions, they celebrate with you to the sound of plena. Joining in on the fun is Carbón y Leña's official mascot, Pirata Piratita. On the food side, they have classic appetizers as well as house dishes, including La Lomita del Campo and Barco Sobre Tierra.
This restaurant is not only steps from the old bridge built by the American Railroad Company to carry the train over the La Mala creek, it also offers an unmatched view of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy some Puerto Rican food and seafood, which you can pair with a beer or a glass of wine.
José Iván Pérez and Sarymar Barreto, owners of Travesía, wanted to offer the public high-quality, refined cuisine, so they decided to open this space in 2019.
Since then, they have specialized in international food, fresh catch and meats, along with wines, cocktails and craft beers. It's a good place to spend time with family or friends, even if you're looking to celebrate a special event.
If what you're after is a spread of appetizers, you could take the experience up a notch by pairing it with a mojito. That is precisely the specialty of Mojito Mojito PR, on Calle San Justo. Many diners highlight the flavor of the mojitos and the friendly service.
Now that you have several options for a well-earned stop in Quebradillas, which restaurant will you visit first? Enjoy!
