The Pad Thai is very good and plentiful good enough for two! Pinchos come with crispy dough instead of plain French bread. Everything is hand made to order so the wait can be long, but SO worth it. Bring your own drinks, chairs and umbrella. Lots of security on the weekends. Come early as it gets packed weekend afternoons.

Being the foodie that I am, it was imperative to plan out all my local food excursions. Everyone has their own taste in food and dining, but for me personally, I was looking for local spots with great local flavor. Sometimes, that led me down sketchy alleyways, but for the most part, I definitely think I got a taste of Puerto Rico. The place was very busy but I only waited about 15 minutes for a seat. It was clear that La Cueva Del Mar is frequented by locals, as everyone was speaking Spanish and seemed to come with their families. There was a very lively atmosphere which made the meal even more enjoyable. What I love about this place right off the bat is its extensive menu. There was so much to choose from I had to enlist the help of our waitress to choose. I ended up ordering 1 fish taco, 1 shrimp taco, and mahi mahi bites grilled with a garlic sauce, but with a breaded option as well. First off, it was huge. It was loaded with breaded meaty fish chunks and slathered in cole slaw but light on the mayo and very flavorful with the added lime juice. The shrimp taco was great as well, but for some reason, the breaded fish chunks had me coming back the next day for more, even with the millions of other Puerto Rican food options around. Perhaps the breaded mahi mahi bites would have been more appetizing. For mains I ordered the Seafood Rice which is basically a Paella with mussels, clams, fish chunks, shrimp, and calamari accompanied by a flavorful yellow rice. This dish was amazing, and completely loaded with seafood.

When in season, opt for the conch salad with tostones or the conch empanadilla, a local version of a turnover. For more substantial fare, order Caribbean spiny lobster, whole fried snapper, or arroz con mariscos, La Cueva's version of a paella.

My wife and I have been frequenting Cueva del Mar for over a year now stopping for a Sunday lunch once or twice a month with our folks. Though the place is awfully noisy dreadful acoustics and those annoying tv screens , and sort of unclean Their food, depending on what you order, goes from pretty good to average, and their prices are somewhat reasonable; you can splurge on some pretty good seafood or you can have a rather decent meal for a modicum amount of money. The staff tends to be courteous and attentive, and some of them, like a young man named Pepe who sometimes tends the bar, are true professionals of the food industry. Others, like today's waitress, can make a good experience feel below average. My main peeves are, my beer was warm, had to ask her for a glass twice, serving us water she spilled some on one of our seafood dishes, lack of boundaries, immersed in her cellphone instead of taking our order, and so on and on. I'm sure we'll be back for all the good qualities mentioned above, but someone should supervise the wait staff or I'm sure they will start loosing customers little by little. We were looking for Puerto Rican food and just happened upon this restaurant.
