Went for dinner on a Sunday, when most other restaurants on Culebra are closed, and were pleasantly surprised by the fun ambiance and really good food. Best cocktails on Culebra or Vieques. Service was a bit slow, but not for lack of effort. The place...gets slammed at dinner time when everyone comes back from the water, so plan accordingly.More

Great food and great atmosphere, the bartender made the best smoked old fashions. Be cautious though, after 4 people ordering 2 drinks a piece and just taco’s our bill was over $300!!!!! Was not ready for that. Found out that the new owners raised their...prices dramatically. Probably taking a break on returning.More

We have been to Zaco’s dozen of times over the years and the food and cocktails are always fantastic and they were this time too. My only concern is the extreme increase in prices. This was our favorite spot on the island and we would...eat here 3 or more times during our weekly stay on Culebra. This time we have only been once and I’m not sure I’ll go back. I understand inflation but make it reasonable, please! “Pigs get fat hogs get slaughtered”More

Esthetically pleasing restaurant with delicious food. Service was friendly and food was great. Relaxing environment, you can we your bathing suit if you are coming from the beach but waiting for the ferry.

Perfect. Good food. Good drinks. Very relaxed. Great service. We got there at 7 on a Monday and had to wait for 10min or so to be seated. We got our drinks and appetizer and then dinners. All great service.

Went Friday night for dinner. On the good side. Food was tasty and hot. Nice ambiance They handle Gluten Free well (my wife has Celiac’s and has to eat GF). On the downside. Inattentive service - staff more interested in chatting among themselves and their...phones than dealing with customers. Way too expensive. Two orders of Tacos, one soda and one not very good Margarita were $70. They were god, but not $70 good. Lime Out on St John would have been $40 and St John is way upscale compared to Culebra.More

Arrived at listed 4pm opening but a sign on the door said something about a water problem, so they weren’t open until 5. Ok, so we took a walk, and were entertained by chickens outside. Once inside, the atmosphere changes to become more festive. We...sat at the bar, and ordered draft local beer (very good) and a signature jalapeño margarita (excellent). Decor I’d describe as Mexican patio. Bartending was top-notch- again helpful with our poor Spanish (we’re trying to learn). Food was the pinnacle. She got the carnitas tacos, and I ordered the “special”, a bowl of shredded meat, beans/rice and tostones. Wicked yummy. Finished by splitting a top-notch tres leches for dessert. We are going back to this place again!More

No idea. But I would call them 787-742-0243 and ask. The holiday is a big deal so it's worth giving places a call as you get closer to your travel. Enjoy the islands.
