La Cocina del Navegante

The osso bucco here is very good. This is actually pork which has been cooked to tenderness and then flash fried and drizzled with chimichurri sauce. It has a really good flavor. I have not seen any restaurant with pork osso bucco prepared like this. Quite delicious. The food is good and our drink the pain killer was very good here. Churrasco was good but on the small side. Manposteo was pretty tasty with the osso bucco. Unfortunately there were so many mosquitoes here and we were bitten all over. Come with insect repellent on.

Would have been perfect, but the flies are relentless and there are no fans. We were also charged additional $7 for paying card instead of cash on a $187 bill. The view is great and the staff and owners are wonderful. Food is fantastic!

Such a great vibe and the food was literally phenomenal. Slightly pricey but absolutely worth every penny. I knew from the moment I placed a side order of rice & beans that tasted like you walked into one of the locals grandmas kitchens.

Pretty good place! We tried to go the evening before and they said they had 40 people on their wait list and couldn’t take more! We came back the next night and it was super low traffic we got in quickly. Service was ok, it appeared there was 1 main server. But she did good for being a 1 woman show. The menu is on the wall which can be difficult to read or see if ppl are just standing in front of it. I ordered the crab patties because it was highly recommended in other reviews. They were definitely the best thing out of all the meals. I also ordered the chef special which was grouper and some shrimp, with sweet plantain. My friend ordered the skirt steak and fries, she said the steak was a little Over cooked. Overall, the vibe was good. If you pay cash you get a small discount vs a card.

10/10 recommend coming here for a nice fresh meal. The snapper was AMAZING! Also tried the mofongo, coconut rice, and coconut shrimp. Everything was GREAT! Ask for Tito!

La Cocina in Culebra offers a mixed dining experience. While the atmosphere is nice, the restaurant imposes a mandatory 18% service charge on dine-in orders for 2 people, which feels a bit steep, especially considering the additional 5% surcharge for credit card payments. The spicy crab appetizer, however, was a standout. It was flavorful and well-prepared, setting high expectations for the rest of the meal. Unfortunately, the Mahi Mahi fish fell flat – it was bland and lacked the seasoning needed to elevate it. The salmon, on the other hand, was quite good and offered a much more enjoyable flavor. Service was slower than expected, which took away from the overall dining experience. All in all, while there were some hits, the misses and additional charges left a bit to be desired. A solid 3-star experience.

They served the tastiest mofongo I have ever tried. We tried the one with pork and the one beef. Both excellent. The fried cheze triangles were also very good. The Bushwalker drink was good and strong, no need for doubles on this one :)

Highly recommend this restaurant. Best dinner experience on the entire island. Amazing view! Waitstaff was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Old fashion I ordered was on point! (Needed a switch from rum). This is my first stop when I come back to Culebra.
