This is truly a hidden gem! The chicken was AMAZING, I cannot say better things about the food here. Our server Juan provided such great service and his parents, who own the place, made our experience so incredible. Plus meat on a stick?! Amazing. Please don’t pass by this place.
Delicious food, the shrimp is incredible. Wonderful vibe and service. Its located in the downtown area near the cruise ship dock, it's very accessible and close to shopping.
Star ratings. 1 bad. 2 below average. 3 average / neutral. 4 good. 5 excellent. Was good! Definitely filling don't need as much as your eyes want you to get.
Camara de Lobos is a restaurant specializing in skewers. We thoroughly enjoyed the skewers and ceviche. The drinks were good. The service is quite friendly as well. Would recommend.
I absolutely loved the food! The meat on the skewers was perfectly juicy and tender—cooked to perfection. We came during happy hour and ended up getting a few cocktails because they were just that good. The mudslide and mango daiquiri were the stars of the night—so flavorful and refreshing! The sauces were a standout too—fresh, house-made, and full of balanced flavor. Even if you’re not usually into meat-heavy dishes, this place offers such a pleasant treat with thoughtful flavors and textures. And a nice bonus: if you can’t finish your drink (like me), they’ll even pour it into a little to-go cup for you. Such a great experience all around!
