We dined here last night. The drinks (mojitos and the green tea jack daniels special) were excellent. The ceviche was excellent (the conch fritters good). The mofongo special was excellent as was the churrasco. The other two main courses were very good. All and all it was very high quality food with excellent preparation for an island. Other than the... more

We managed to make a stop into El Quenepo on our last evening in Vieques and it was well worth it. Had the cost not been about $100 for the two of us, we might have eaten there more frequently. The conch fritters were amazing and SO much better then we had expected. My hubby got the Squawkin' Moroccan and... more

We received many grand reviews similar to those on this site. Maybe it was the expectations, our distinct taste or the new menu. We went there with high hopes and ordered the ceviche and gonnochi for starters. The ceviche was in huge portions and subpar because of the numerous ingredients that were mixed in. The Gonnochi was nothing to write... more

We were referred to El Quenepo by our guest house owners and got a same-day reservation. Unfortunately they could only seat us at a bar table but considering it was their first day open after a renovation, we were happy to get in. We both enjoyed our cocktails (I had their sangria which was mild but refreshing, and my partner... more

El Quenepo was the first restaurant we went to in Vieques and the food was marvelous, so fresh and innovative with surprising twists. Most of the food is made with locally sourced ingredients, much of it actually picked in the back yard. It way exceeded our expectation and is a true gem in Puerto Rico. We decided to eat here... more

We just returned from an AMAZING trip to Vieques and I had booked a dinner here on the last night of our trip to celebrate and send ourselves off in style. It was a blessing and curse to only have one night left as we might have eaten here every night! Kate (the owner) is lovely and Amy (our waitress)... more

El Quenepo had been recommended to us by the property manager of our rental (Vista Dos Mares) for our group's night out. We went on a Saturday night during the off season (July) without reservations and were seated about 20 minutes after we walked in. During our wait we sat at the bar and had some drinks- the mojito's and... more

We chose this restaurant after reading all of the glowing reviews; and will say up front -- I suspect many of them are warrented. We were greeted warmly by the hostess (who it turns out is the owner/manager), who immediately made us and our children feel welcome. However, through pure bad luck, we did not experience the level of service... more

I didn't expect to like this place as much as I did! But I liked it so much, I found myself back there the very next day for another dinner. The sushi roll was out of this world. It is fusion cuisine that manages to be delicious without being pretentious or fussy. After the two lovely meals I had at... more

This meal was the highlight of our eating experiences in Vieques. We read that reservations were a must, but we did not have them and were seated immediately even on Easter weekend! The restaurant faces on the malecon and features white table cloths and gourmet dining. Our server (very friendly and helpful) recited a large selection of specials available that... more
