This restaurant is two blocks from our house and we love it! They have the best vegetarian enchiladas on the island, thin and stuffed pizza, amazing veggie lasagna (one dish is enough to serve 3-4), and amazing fresh fish. Definitely order a basket of garlic rolls and eat them hot.

Another island favorite. This one is mid-island/near the house. You can walk, taxi over, or take a golf cart. It is some of the best, most inventive food, on the island. They have amazing coffee and fantastic breakfast! Don't miss out on the breakfast Quesadilla or French toast.

This is another favorite for dinner. It may not look like much from the street, but the food is authentic and service fast. Right next to Angelo’s on Hidalgo. They great tacos, queso fundido with mushrooms, guacamole, and veggie quesadillas.

Fresh seafood and more! Located on the same side of the street as the ferry but towards North Beach. Walk out onto the Pier and you are there!

This is another great breakfast place. We love the ladies who run this place. They are friendly, serve up a great breakfast, and may have the best guacamole on the island. The Loncheria is located on Guerrero Street, next to several other diner-style eateries, and this is the one closest to the street. It’s worth the wait; the omelets, pancakes, and lime soup are excellent. The guacamole is great!

Sports fans love this establishment’s big screen TVs and daily listing of games out front. The menu has lots of choices ranging from American to Mexican fare. The portions are large, the food good, and the drinks cheap. The quesadillas and nachos are also big enough to share. A favorite place to watch the sunset from the rooftop deck.

Wonderful fusion of Middle Eastern – including Moroccan, Greek, and Turkish influenced cuisine in a charming garden setting. Reservations are a must especially during the high season. If you have 6 or more in your party, request the table at the back of the garden, which is absolutely the best seat in the house. Located on Avenue Matamoros between Juarez and Medina streets.

Drinks & Nightlife
Cool tree-house type bar with great margaritas, mojitos, and live reggae music in the afternoon. It closes around 6 so go early and enjoy the food and drinks. Located near Garrafon Park and fun to do if you are driving around the island with golf carts.

Live music and good food on Hidalgo. Same owners as the Joint so if you like the mojitos in one place, you’ll like them in the other. Two sets a night on the rooftop and downstairs. Great happy hour specials too!

On Hidalgo street with the island’s widest selection of tequila. Drinks are two-for-one all the time, and the staff is friendly. A good meeting spot pre- or post-dinner.

They serve only one thing a day like tacos of fajitas but whatever it is, it is amazing! Also the most potent margaritas on the island so beware.
