Placita

The menu features a handful of vegetarian and vegan options that are incredibly tasty and faithful to the local flavors. The pastel soup was a delight! It’s a little harder for the vegans but we managed and felt quite satisfied with the veggie tacos, rice & beans, and fries. The prices are high but honestly you get good portions and the service is exceptional. If you are vegetarian you also get to enjoy a good variety of desserts; for us vegans we get the delicious sorbets. The ambiance is lovely too. [if it were 100% plant based I would give 5 stars]

Awesome place! Great food, excellent service and classy relaxing ambience! Cobb salad highly recommended. Thank you

I usually tend to stick to home cook gatherings when visiting my little island of Vieques. This time, like it has become a brother and sister yearly visit we opt to have at least a dinner gathering and choose “La Placita”… I had come into contact with Chef Alex you I have worked with in the past but famous “W Retreat & Spa” and he totally sold me on the menu while he described it with pride and passion as he has developed and perfected his culinary expertise. I must say no more than that I was blown away by his mastery of the kitchen and the flavors that he well balanced in every dish… from the croquettes to the Blok Steak, everything that came out was beyond perfection, it was an impressive culinary experience for me and my family. Chef Alex and team, thank you !! But also, let me say that our beloved waitress Belinda was always on point making sure everything was flowing, never did we have to wait on any detail… from the hostest that quickly sat us promptly to Katee the restaurant Manager who we observed orchestrating the flow of things and without hesitation visibly jumping in with her team in every aspect. And Lastly when you come visit here for dinner.. the rooftop is a must while you wait for your reserved time so come early enjoy the view the cocktails and live the life you love….

This is by far the best restaurant we ate at on the island. The food is pricey but good. People need to consider that everything comes from the main island, so it is costly to get food to Vieques. I agree with some of the reviews. El Blok is one of the best hotels, and they don’t even offer breakfast to the guests. Overall, the restaurant is great, and the bar is a nice place for an afternoon drink and a bite. Ensure you have a reservation, as they get booked quickly due to limited options on the island.

We dined here around 9 PM on Sunday and were blown away by the food—it was some of the best we had in Vieques! The burger was absolutely delicious, and the chocolate tres leches was unique and incredible. Unfortunately, our experience was dampened by the service. Our server seemed distant and somewhat hostile, showing signs of annoyance and impatience when we hesitated with our order or needed clarification. To be fair, she was maybe in a bad mood, it was also late at night near the end of service, we were a larger party of six and didn’t always know our order on the spot, which may have contributed to her frustration. Despite this, the food was outstanding, and we would still try it again.

Best meal we've had on the island. Pricey but worth it. The shimp was excellent. The salad was great and the saute vegetables delicious. The strip steak was beautifully done and really good. My husband said the tuna was perfect.

Food is good here—not cheap, but prices and quality of anything you’d expect at a mid-high-end restaurant anywhere. The steak was perfect. Bartenders were nice. The hostess was to “the point” but don’t let that deter you.

Our meal was absolutely delicious. We had the orange cinnamon margarita which is to die for, the pork chop was the special and was very moist and had an excellent flavor. The steak fries are really great, you should make sure to get the pork belly app and the octopus is out of this world.
