I'm from PR and I've seen way better. The food does taste good but the price is out of hand. Unless the owner is your server, service will be slow and bad. Long time to even get a drink of water if the waitress even remembers

Great food and great customer service awaits you at Vejigante. Jose the chef is outstanding, he cooks delicious meals using fresh ingredients. He made accommodations for my mother who has special dietary needs, never making her feel as if her requirements were a burden. Jason our server was polite and friendly, answering all our questions with a smile. Try the... More

We stopped into Vejigante after a morning at the beach. This was an incredible find. We were greeted by Freddy as we walked by and he offered a menu and explained the specials. He is very knowledgeable about the menu and was very helpful in assisting with modifications for our party’s food allergies. We ordered drinks and they were fabulous... More

The kiosks in Luquillo are quite unique... Do not let the appearance scare you away! Vejigante is a great place to eat. While the atmosphere is somewhat lacking, the food is absolutely fantastic. Between whole snapper, grouper, and mixed mofongo, some of the best food I had in Puerto Rico. Service was also pretty good. If you can, sit near... More

My family of 4 including two tweens had lunch here twice on our recent vacation in Rio Grande. The Tamarind Glazed chicken is delicious and not too different from General Gao's chicken in a Chinese restaurant here in the US, but better. They have a kids' menu for picky eaters. We also had the fried pork cubes, and grouper filet,... More

Our group of 5 enjoyed our meals. I had the stuffed pork chops. They were generously sized and delicious. The house rice was phenomenal. Others in our party enjoyed the snapper and the churasco steak. The waiter, chef, and staff were friendly and happy to explain the menu items. Sample items from the other kiosks but eat your main meal... More

The food was decent but I have to say, the service was pretty bad. It took at least 30+ minutes to get our meal,and then my son's macaroni and cheese wasn't brought out - and the waiter said I never ordered it, even though I pointed it out like 3 times - then it took another 25 minutes for the...

Had food here twice on our Luquillo visit. The food was very good and the staff friendly and efficient. We tried 3 appetizers and the standout were the cod fish cakes. They were super light and almost entirely of fish with no filler. The outside might have been coated with a little bit of panko, but it wasn't enough to... More
