Qué PezCa'o

Food was AMAZING!! Best seafood we’ve had on the island! Our server Jonathan was super kind. He recommended the red snapper. And we were offered a free soup cup that super tasteful. Food was authentic and made with love.

Best food we had until now in PR and what an amazing service by Gabriel. Food amazing, I was very impressed, fish was super fresh and the everything super tasty. We had the ceviche, mofongo with ceviche and arroz de marisco. Beer SUPER cold, vestida de novia. I definitely recommend and I would come back.

Undiscovered seafood treasure in San Juan! My visit to Que PezCao was a delightful experience. The food was both fresh and tasty, and the service was excellent. I was fortunate to be assisted by Ayala, who was incredibly helpful, professional, and enjoyable to interact with. The food and drink were served promptly, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

Gabriel was the best and gave great recommendations! The food was delicious. Great variety, something for everyone. Tried ceviche for the first time and it was really good. The atmosphere is good the only problem was it was a little difficult to find for our Lyft driver some additional signage would help.

What I loved the most was the tropical ambiance with live local music. Food was flavorful and I have to say this sorullitos de maíz have been one of the top of my life (crispy outside, tender inside with the perfect balance between sweet and salty. Cooked to perfection). Kelly our serger was the true definition of hospitality. She was knowledgeable about the menu, she personalized our suggestions and had the most beautiful smile and king attitude I’ve see in Puerto Rico for a while. My mofongo with biftec was super delicious. In Summary, I highly recommend.

If you come be prepared to wait - we sat for 30 minutes before getting the menu and then waited 10 minutes before getting our order in. 1 1/2 hours before getting any food. Our server, Karla, was fantastic and very apologetic- it is obviously a management miscalculation. - not expecting a big crowd and suddenly a bunch of people showed up. Three servers and hundred plus people- it was bad. When it finally came, the food was great !

So so fresh!!! We had the red snapper, fried calamari and octopus/crab tacos. Everything was AMAZING! Our server Gabriel was awesome and helped us with the menu in english

Gabriel, our server, was awesome. He was very attentive, and his service was great. The seafood was tasty, fresh, and locally sourced. Highly recommended.

La comida exquisita ! El caldo de pescao, las empanadillas llenitas de marisco y el salmorejo de bueyes en su punto . El postre de lechosa en la madre! Altamente recomendado. Hoy 29 de diciembre estaba súper lleno y los que trabajaron hoy allí hicieron tremendo trabajo y siempre con buen humor . Volveremos

Qué PezCa'o is a super casual outdoor restaurant. If you want something low-key and outside, this is the spot. We ordered the fried snapper and queso frito. Both were good. I loved the guava pineapple sauce with the cheese. Definitely add a sauce or two with the snapper--we added the ajillo, which was super garlicky. Wish we had added the criolla or spicy mango too. The rice and beans were absolutely delicious here. If you don't get an order that comes with them, definitely add them on. Our server was so friendly and helpful. I'd return if looking for casual dining in San Juan.

He comido aqui en mas de una ocasión. Se come bien. La calidad del pescado es buena. Me gusta el caldo de pescado complementario que te ofrecen cuando llegas. Cuidado, que esta bien caliente. Los fish tacos son buenos. También me gustan los mofongos y aguacates rellenos. Servicio puede ser lentito hasta cuando no hay mucha clientela, pero los meseros siempre han sido corteses y atentos. Restaurante es abierto, el cual en días con brisa es chevere, pero cuanto no la hay puede azotar el calor. Hay abanicos para el calor. Nunca he ido al atardecer o noche, así que no se como se pone el ambiente, pero de dic es típicamente tranquilo. Al lado del restaurante venden pescados enteros para llevar.

The food and drinks are delicious here and when in PR I highly recommend this place. The seafood is of course fresh catch and when they serve their food it is so flavorful and delicious with every bite. Seating is outside but with a canopy over and the staff is friendly and informative. (They do speak english) We tried a lot off the menu to share with the table and I love their fresh parcha juice (passion fruit). We had ceviche, fish tacos, mofongo, tostones and pastelillos. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. They have spicy and non spicy items. Everything is delicious and it feels great to be sitting outside enjoying some live salsa music.

Food is good, specially fish. Mofongos really good and they treat you with fish broth whenever you visit. Service is also good they are very nice and remember the clients that goes often. I love the ambience, is simple next to the sea, clean and the plants are always healthy

we had a wonderful experience at qué pezca'o. ordered the grouper "nachos" (basically ceviche w/ a creamy sauce over freshly fried tortilla chips), fried whole snapper with excellent rice and red beans, and the mouthwatering coconut flan. our server alexis was attentive and helpful. very affordable and vibes were great- a casual spot right near the marina. will definitely be back.

Excelente servicio, amabilidad y calidad de los platos.. recomendado para la familia. Pescado fresco

An Uber driver told me that this place was good for lunch. After a long Saturday on the beach, i decided to dine here around 7pm since it was only a 3 minute drive from my hotel (Sheraton). The dining is outside only and when i arrived they had live music (a man and a woman singing)! It was such a vibe but it is loud! They had a window were it looked like you places an order at but i went up and asked how to get a table and was told to just take a seat at any table and i would be served! So that's just what i did! After about 6-7 mins, a gentleman came by (spoke English) and asked how i was and if i wanted something to drink. I just ordered water. He came back with my beverage and a menu. I wanted to order the shrimp ceviche but he said that they were out so i settled for the fried calamari instead. It was pretty good! The calamari was cut kinda on the bigger side for me and could've been much hotter (temp) but the flavor was still there and it was good! Midway eating it with no napkin or silverware, he came back and i had to ask for some. I then ordered the whole snapper fried with beans and rice. It took about 30 mins to come out and at that time my waiter changed to a waitress (who did not speak English). She came by and attempted to take my plate and silverware which i attempted to say no I'm Not finish. She understood. When my snapper came out-WOW! It was so beautiful! The fish had to be straight out the fryer like i like it! The beans were delicious and paired nicely with the rice! It even had this small cabbage and spinach salad on the side with what seemed like a honey mustard dressing! Omg it was alllllll sooo good and i scared i would not eat it all but i was determined to do so! The fish was so buttery in the inside and the skin was seasoned to perfection!!!!! The beans were almost like chili and it was too was soooooo good! My waitress came by a couple of time and put two thumbs up to ask if I'm good! Which i was! I asked for the check and it wasn't expensive it all! She tooped my water off and left me with a mint! She provided great customer service! My pictures served no justice! Would def recommend 10 out of 10!!!

The food was so delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing. I also really love the water they serve, not sure what it's called but it's the water they cook the fish in. Not for everyone but I personally love it. Service was great too. Be aware that it's outside and all the seating is outside.

Food was super fresh, good pricing, and they had a parking lot which was convenient. Loved the fish tacos and ceviche nachos

Do not; I repeat Do Not go spending mega bucks in these fancy, elegant restaurants that serve seafood in San Juan. Don't try to impress your friends, family, co-workers with mediocre seafood at high end restaurants. You want seafood, you want great seafood...well, Que Pezca'o is where you will find it. Listen, this is not a fancy restaurant, they have some mismatched chairs, they have some mismatched tables and some may be a little wobbly, heck they don't even have indoor dining...but what I can say is; that they have the freshest, most flavorful well-prepared seafood dishes you will ever have on this side of the island. Que Pezca'o (whatta fish) that is exactly what we were saying as we left this establishment. Let me start by saying we were well received and greeted, told we can sit wherever we pleased. The atmosphere here is so refreshing, inviting and vibrant, everyone smiling and having a great time and the wait staff very attentive. The music playing, live music, a really great genre mix but it wasn't  loud that you had to yell over each other. I knew the restaurant was located close to the bay, but because it was evening I didn't know how close. But let me say that once we felt that cool relaxing breeze blowing across the place we just knew, Oh yea we're on the bay and it just made our dinner evening even more delightful. We had no language issues placing our orders...the staff spoke English and Spanish and they were super helpful in explaining flavors on particular dishes and how they were prepared. We didn't order any alcohol drinks as we were celebrating my birthday and brought our own bottle of Champagne. They popped it, poured it, and chilled it for a corkage fee, which was expected, but reasonably priced. We started with the Beefy Sampler:  an assortment of just enough appetizer bites to cover 5 people...mango wings, fried corn sticks, garlic fried pork and several other juicy bites. Dinner: Ensalada de Pulpo, Carrucho Mixta w/fried plantains.                                                                   Pescao entero frito w/white rice n beans. Bistec de lomillo encebollado w/white rice n beans.                                                                                             Camarones al ajillo con tostones.                                                                                                                        Carne frita con salasa de aji con tostones. We waited, yes we waited quite some time for our meals, but all of our dishes were cooked fresh as we waited. Every seafood dish we ate was well seasoned, fresh and flavorful...all of them delicious. The only dish which was a little dull was the bistec de Lomillo because it was a little tough to chew. Our entire experience here; the service, food, refreshments and entertainment was excellent and at a great price. We will definitely revisit and recommend and you should too when you're in Puerto Rico!

Ambiance was good , food and service were exceptional! It's outdoor , private parking , only thing I didn't like was the mosquitoes outdoor

Amazing affordable authentic PR good! Great ambiance, music always playing it makes you want to dance. Excellent service and menu items recommendations. Please stop by this spot by the water and please try the fried red snapper. We will def come back.

The seafood was fantastic. Gabriel was our waiter and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely return.

Food was amazing. There wasn't 1 bad dish. Our service was also great. Would definitely recommend

The restaurant is adjacent to a fishing station which is adjacent to the Maritime police so it's very safe. The food was excellent. They only serve fish that is fresh and if it has been frozen before they will tell you just ask the service was awesome. Willing to help and explain all the dishes and all the different types of preparation that they have we all had a one and a half pound red snapper, which is a very common fish in Puerto Rico, especially the north coast with breadfruit toast to Ins and fried sweet potato that's Tostones. For appetizers, we had the ceviche of Marlin and grouper. It also had mango lemon and avocado all fresh. Also, we had an surprising mini Mofongo with with a filing of fresh fish and spicy mango, which were very good service was outstanding, courteous, and efficient. We highly recommend it.

What a great place to eat delicious authentic Puerto Rican food! The ceviche was amazing, the one with the thin green apple slices was phenomenal! The sweet/tartness of the green apples were a pleasant surprise. The mofongo was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Staff is fantastic! They don't have a physical menu in English, but they have a QR code for their menu in English. Super easy. The place is super casual, outdoors and absolutely local and lovely! Highly recommend for the food and the people!

Owner and staff was extremely kind and friendly. The food was amazing. The owner is a funny guy. I recommend the mango ceviche, soursop juice, the fried red snapper, and the fried grouper. Really made my trip, a very authentic experience!

Super delish! This was my best eating experience in Puerto Rico Chillo frito with salad de kole and tostones de panna. Hubby-camarrones criollo con arroz blanco. Sadly all the dishes came out first except Husband's . Will try again maybe service will get right The best part...I was with familia! Hands down- nothing beats that! See you again- hopefully December 2022

First it was amazing the service was amazing checked in with you all the time! The food was amazing we had mofungo in are food it was so good we had to get a side of it! The place was beautiful live music and beautiful outdoor tables lighting was great for photos. Overall it was an amazing experience in San Juan I am looking forward to coming back to this restaurant! :)

Literally a hidden gem. Food is always good and definitely a locals spot. The staff is super attentive and gives great recommendations. On the weekends they have live music in the form of an acoustic guitarist which makes it a beautiful outdoor island vibe. Recommend the chicharrones de pezcao, tacos de pezcao, ceviche nachos and bacalaitos.

had the delmar taco trio shrimp crispy soft taco grouper very fresh ceviche nice tangy flavor ate outside wonderful view of the bay quick service clean

Found this place when looking for a local spot while visiting Puerto Rico. Ordered the red snapper with yellow rice. Snapper was good.. didn't enjoy the yellow rice soo much since it was mushy and it's really rice and beans. Appetizers were great.. ie. Coconut shrimp and empanadas. Great outdoor location.. slow service though.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great and the ambience was just perfect.

El caldo de pescado es delicioso! No dejen de pedir un vasito. Lo he pedido en otros lugares y ninguno como el de ellos. Me gusta el ambiente relajado al aire libre y música acústica. Por lo general pido ceviche.

A waitress at a restaurant in OSJ recommended we try this restaurant, as its known for its seafood. It was a short Uber ride away from the old city and we stopped for lunch on the way to the airport. The place was very busy, but we found a table under the covered portion of the restaurant easily. The menu had tons of options, including all sorts of seafood dishes and mofongos, etc. Sadly however, our server informed us that none of the ceviches were ready yet even though the place had been open for hours. We ended up with the seafood taco trio and a carnitas monfongo, both were very good. Our wait for the food was extreme - like around an hour. Our server did apologize and offered me a beer on the house as compensation. All in all, it was a nice venue and clearly a local favorite based on the crowd.

My husband & I came here on a Monday around noon & surprisingly found it open, with the patio pretty full (biz hours were listed as closed on Mondays). We were seated immediately, ordered & had our food within 20-25 minutes. I ordered the ceviche spicy mango/grande con tostones. The fish chunks were large & definitely fresh. The mango salsa wasn't spicy at all, if anything a bit too sweet, but was still a good twist on a classic ceviche. My husband got the Del Mar taco trio, which was also really good & fresh, & our favorite was the taco mero. The seating is only a large covered outdoor patio, near the water with a good breeze & lots of overhead fans as well. Parking was easy & we will definitely return.

While in Puerto Rico a local recommended we try out the place. It's about 15 mins from OSJ for reference. Que Pez Cao is a gem. It sits along the water and is very cute and unassuming. It's outdoors fully from what I saw, but they have umbrellas. The drinks were great....we both had sangrias which weren't too sweet and had a nice amount of rum in them. Our server, Jacob, was extremely attentive and gracious. The fish broth they bring out as a starter is amazing! We asked for more. We were allowed to try the conch and octopus, which were fresh and so tasty. I ordered the mahi mahi mofongo, which was the fresh fish of the day. The mofongo was so good (5-5) and oozing with flavor and fish. My husband ordered the snapper, and he ate the plate clean! We also had the ceviche appetizer which was so fresh and full of flavor. This place is so awesome and I'm glad we went!

Affordable and special. Inside a Fish Villa. There are some awesome tarpoons fish!!! Best fish tacos, good ceviches. Try the fried red snapper with their Puertorrican Mofongo.

Came here with my mother in law the other day. It was here birthday and I thought I'd invite her to lunch. She had never been here. A friend of hers tagged along, as did my son. We had a splendid time. The restaurant is all outdoors, so during it made for a perfect set up during these times. It helped that the day was nice temperature wise, and it didn't rain. We ordered a whole chillo (red snapper) and the salmorejo de jueyes. We accompanied it with arroz mamposteao, tostones, and amarillos. My kid loved his empanadilla de chapín. He devoured it. And he is not a fish lover. We also tried the lobster empanadas. Everything was very tasty, perfectly seasoned. Overall, the experience was pleasant. I've been here before and have had the fish tacos and they are also very good. I would normally give this place a five stars, but I give it four only because our waitress forgot to give us the fish broth at the beginning. Usually they give you a small cup of fish broth as a starter. She forgot, and didn't remember until we asked her at the end of the meal if they had discontinued that practice. She also forgot to bring the lemonade I ordered for my son. Luckily, she also forgot to include it in the bill, so no harm no foul. She did an overall good job, just missed those times. My mother in law loved the place and suggested we return with my father in law. Hopefully then, the experience is perfect and I can give it the five stars I think this place deserves.

Excelente lugar..... mejores su plato de chillo fresco !!!! Caldo de pescado de cortesía esos chicos son atentisimos

Vine y la pase super chévere en un ambiente cálido como en casa la comida super deliciosa lo recomiendo al 100%

Best fish in a great terrace restaurant, great ceviche. Beautiful scenery, good parking and wonderful service

This place was so great!!! Highly recommend! The fish was SO fresh and the service was great. 100% recommend the fish tacos and the chicharrones. The other dish we got was also great, but I'm so stuffed I almost wish we'd just shared the fish tacos. They're huge and the BEST!!! And those Chicharrones appetizers were so good and the sauce was awesome. We came for lunch and sat right away, it's outdoor and bustling. Casual and beachy. The Mango Frappe was great too. Didn't snap a pic. But, my god, get the tacos and the chicharrones.

A spot with good service and great food, without paying for the fanciness. Socially distanced tables and good offerings. Try the surullitos and the trifongo with some cold drinks - you won't be disappointed. Plenty of parking nearby.

Very hot sunny humid summer day. The restaurant seats people outdoors and has many fans to (try to) cool you down. First thing first, there was only one outdated English menu. We are all English speaking and struggled a bit with the menu . Once the drinks started coming out, we noticed that the juices here taste freshly pressed. Loved it! Just remember no sugar added when you order, but you can mix the not very sweet juices with a sweeter juice. Ordered A LOT of food with my large group and got to taste everything. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The taste was just okay for most of the meals. The pork was too dry, the rice and peas were okay, the lobster and shrimp were a bit bland too, even the seafood fried rice. But the presentation was often enticing. I loved the beef empanada, and the mofongo was a bit of a different taste for me, but not bad. I could get used to it. I was happy to try something I had never had before. Waiter was nice and patient and gave helpful ideas. Overall, okay spot, but maybe it's just my palette.

I always love a place where you can get really good quality food, but you don't have to pay for service or fancy furnishings. You order at the counter, and sit at simple tables outside near the bay. And my fish was quite good, with a filling amount. It's a bit hard to find, but not hard to park nearby. If you have a car, definitely go.

This place is a must try if you are in Puerto Rico. The food is so fresh and everything tastes delicious. The ambiance is casual. They have seating in a outdoor area that is roofed off. The service is great and the staff was so helpful and accommodating. We were starving, so we ordered a lot of stuff. We got a fish taco which was my favorite thing on the menu. You could tell the fish was fresh and it was perfectly seasoned. The pickled vegetables added a nice element of crunch and tangy. My next favorite thing on the menu was the shrimp mofungo. The shrimps were huge and they were seasoned to perfection. The mofungo had a nice texture. They were not too soft and not too hard. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!!

Cute place but poor service. I had a group of 12 and they sat us off the patio in the dark because they didn't have enough space. They were extremely slow in getting our orders (at least 30 minutes) and slowest in bringing our food (over an hour). They were so slow in bringing our food they didn't bother asking if we wanted dessert. I saw other tables receiving dessert so I wonder if they were just ignoring us because we were a big group or for another reason. Food was fine, nice presentation, but the mixed rice and beans were bland. I wouldn't come back.

Great food, fresh fish, friendly servers, fast service. Mom and I had a great dinner!

I had the fish ceviche and mama had the Mofongo which were both awesome. The portions are huge here. One thing that could have been better was the Pina Colada, I should have just gotten a beer. Also be prepared for laid back Island time service too. Other than that I thought the food was on point!

Great spot! Has everything you need: - ample parking - fresh seafood - full bar - quick, friendly service - tasty Puerto Rican dishes Would definitely recommend this spot! Everything we had here was good & fresh. My only regret was not visiting this spot more than once during my stay.

Was seated quickly on a busy Friday night. Ordered a Piña Colada to start and it was refreshing without being too weak. For my entree, I had the salmorejo de jueyes which came with an accompanying salad and side of choice (I got the arepas de coco). The crab was delicious and flavorful and the arepas were perfectly crispy. The meal was really big and filling. Would definitely recommend and it has more of a locals vibe; could not sense any tourists dining.

I love their fish tacos! I highly recommend getting two of them! They offer very fresh seafood meals. You can tell they utilize fresh ingredients. I am so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. The open balcony style restaurant is inviting. It's romantic and a prefect way to enjoy the fresh warm air.

Great piña coladas! The appetizers and main courses were delicious and fresh. A little noisy in the main area, but we chose a table in the corner of the restaurant and enjoyed our meals.

We love this place. We went on a Sunday night and waited about 40 minutes to be seated. The ambiance is very chill. They also had live music that afternoon. We got the chicharrón de pescado and croquetas to start. Omg. Possibly my favorite things I had while in PR. We also got the fish tacos which were very good and the ceviche mofongo which was okay. The mofongo was a little dry. Definitely check this place out if you get the chance!

Overpriced! This is at its best, a truck stop that smells awful, still the reviews were wonderful. It took them over 15 minutes to take our order and over 25 to bring food. Everything was ok, nothing to lose sleep over, unless you see the bill, a swordfish fillet with plantains 19,99$!!! My kid had shrimp, five of them came on the plate, with fries, again 18,99$. It was just four of us, no alcohol, in a freaking truck stop behind a police station that smells like a dumpster, final bill $100!!!

Awesome little spot in Central Park (Parque Central) with a nice view of the bay. I would've never known this place was here if my friend hadn't shown me. Cool ambiance at night with the waterfront seating set a relaxing tone, and the food was really good. The staff was extremely attentive and professional. Definitely a hidden gem. Fresh fish, friendly staff, and a unique setting. Had the fried snapper and it was meaty and well-prepared. Would've loved to try their fish tacos.... maybe next time!

Very disappointed. The food was super salty, we ended up with stomach upset! The langosta is super expensive for the size! So sad, we had great expectations about this place. Save your money and go somewhere else!
