“El Quenepo was great. The buratta was a great appetizer, so flavorful! I had the tuna poké appetizer for my meal and it was delicious! My hubby had braised pork carnitas and they were great as well. Would definitely go back next time on the island.”
“The ceviche was the MUST of the night. Delicious food, overlooking streets of Esperanza. Waiter was kind, good wine selection and easy going vibes, I recommend making reservations during a busier season for a smooth process!”
“My best dining experience in Puerto Rico! We had our last dinner in Puerto Rico here and we couldn't hope for any better! I had pulpo a la plancha and yellowfin tuna BLT, which were both literally delicious. Servings are abundant, the guy who took care of us was great, the price is above average but appropriate for the venue and the menu. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a good dining experience in Vieques!”
“What a gem right on the Vieques beachfront! El Quenepo offers stunning views that make every meal feel like a tropical escape. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared—and the drinks hit the spot too. Our waiter multitasked as the bartender and handled everything with efficiency despite the busy vibe. Just a heads up: you’ll order everything at once, which keeps things streamlined. We noticed the team could use better communication tools like headsets for smoother coordination (e.g., when we wanted a small tweak to our order, the food runner directed us back to our waiter). But honestly, these are minor nitpicks—the overall experience was top-notch, and we’d highly recommend it for anyone visiting Vieques. Can’t wait to return!”
“The atmosphere is great, the server was mediocre but she was only one of many. My seafood linguine medley was very small, not cheap and quite bland, the seafood itself was cooked well but nothing had flavour. My wife had the grilled swordfish which was a better tasting plate, still on the small side. For the price, I expected a lot more. There aren't many other choices for fine dining in the area but I would not go back”
