Having traveled to Culebra for years, we were glad we had the chance to find this place. We were a large group so we made reservations ahead. Once we got there we were greeted by the owner Richard and his wife, very friendly who as he noticed our table wasn't ready suggested we waited for a a bit at the... More

If the food is your main focus when dining out, this is the place to go for a great meal on Culebra. The experience begins when the co-owner, sits down at your table and tells you about the offerings for the evening. While there is a menu, it is much more helpful to hear her descriptions. Then, if you are... More

We ate at El Eden upon the recommendation of our host, and were not disappointed. This restaurant is mostly for the seafood lover; however, 4 of the 5 in our party do not eat fish or seafood and there were options. For appetizer we had the bruschetta; a little strange, but good. One of our group had fresh fish and... More

I'm having a hard time writing a review for this restaurant, I just returned from having dinner there and I may need some more time to process what just happened. We were treated excellently by our waitress, who was not only very nice but gave us a good explanation of the menu with very honest recommendations included. The food was... More

Would be a bit tricky to find on foot in the dark. Not cheap but good value and variety. Lobster risotto with saffron is featured -- I liked it, my husband was unimpressed. Great mussels.

When you walk up, you'll be doubtful that this double wide trailer could possibly be the nicest restaurant in town. But believe it. The decor is fun. Don't mind the coolers. This is romantic outside the box. I had the lobster risotto and it was one if the best meals I've ever had. I can't remember what my husband had,... More

Puerto Rican cuisine relies heavily on the fryer. El Eden does not! After meeting owner Richard and friends earlier in my travel day, I wandered over for an early meal (solo) at the bar. The "liar's pasta" made from zuchnini "spaghetti" was an extremely refreshing, flavorful dish. And the soup of the day (a white bean) was delish as well.... More

Congrats to Luz and Richard for their consistent quality on the food served. Everytime we go to Culebra, this is the place to have lunch and dinner. And when the owners are in, nothing escapes them. The risottos, the seafood, everything is just too good for such a small island and market. How do they do it?

Food was exceptional - fresh stuffed fish full of lobster and shrimp and a generous side of lobster risotto was beautifully prepared. Service was slow - they forgot to bring our drink order until our entrees were served. No one ever checked to see if everything was ok or if we wanted a second drink.
