If you like seafood, you're in the right place. Throughout northwestern Puerto Rico you'll find wonderful criollo (Puerto Rican creole) cuisine. Most local eateries serve deep-fried tapas, commonly called frituras (meaning "fritters"). Offering a break from fried food are dozens of foreign-owned eateries that serve everything from sushi and hamburgers to vegetarian and Thai cuisine. Farther south along the coast options are limited, so you may want to ask the chef to grill or sauté your fish. A trip to Puerto Rico is not complete without sampling Puerto Rico’s most iconic dish, mofongo relleno, made from fried, seasoned and mashed plantain or yuca stuffed with your choice of seafood or meat. Simply head to where locals from all over the island go for fresh seafood—Joyuda. When it comes to beverages, locals usually drink rum and coke or mix it with fresh-squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. You’ll also see people sipping on Medalla Light, Puerto Rico's most popular and affordable beer. All restaurants are no-smoking. Tips, normally 15%–20%, are usually not included in the bill, but it's always wise to double-check.
A dining room facing the ocean is a fitting place to try some of the southwest coast's best seafood. You can snack on empanadillas (fritters), then move on to red snapper with rice and beans or mofongo relleno. This place, in an unmistakable lime-color building on the main drag, has festive music and great views.

Watch seagulls dive for their food while you dine on a covered deck extending out into the bay. The long list of seafood is prepared in a variety of ways: shrimp comes breaded, stewed, or skewered; conch is served as a salad or cooked in a butter-and-garlic sauce; and the lobster can be prepared just about any way you can imagine. This restaurant, on stilts above the water, is about the most charming setting in Joyuda.

Join patrons from across the island for spectacular sunsets at this restaurant right on the beach. Whether you choose one of the small plates or an entrée, fresh seafood is always your best bet. Start with the roasted beet salad or the fried cauliflower, then move on to the steamed mussels in a sambucca cream sauce or the grilled fish of the day with coconut green curry sauce. The large wooden deck, illuminated by strings of lights, is a wonderful spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the views with cocktail in hand. The doors open at 5 pm, but the days of operation vary by season, so verify hours prior to visiting.

One of only a few sushi restaurants on the west coast, the former Pool Bar Sushi attracts visitors from as far away as San Juan. The menu rivals that of any high-end Japanese restaurant, with mango tuna rolls, eel maki, shumai, and wakame seaweed salads. A house favorite is the Starving Surfer Roll: crunchy shrimp and avocado topped with spicy tuna. Their new location is in town is just a block from the main plaza.

The best thing about this bar and grill is its beachfront location. The open-air venue serves a mean mojito, and the deck is a great place to watch novice surfers wipe out on the beach. The kitchen prepares a wide range of unique items, from fresh-fish sandwiches to baby back ribs brushed with guava sauce. On weekends, you can enjoy live music.
