Back from a great week in PR. We took rick's son, his wife and 12 month baby. We rented a beautiful privately owned Villa at the Villas at Wyndham Rio Mar. We did our own breakfasts and ventured out for great food. One little beach bar in Luquillo, Boardriders, had great drinks and fish tacos. Other than that, we had three dinners at the Luquillo Kiosks; La Parilla, Vejigantes and Conga's. wonderful seafood, Mofongos, churrasco...amazing. These might look a bit seedy from the street, they are nice, colorful and clean inside. Each proudly displays the name of the resident chef. Granted, we ate in the more expensive of over 30 restaurants...lots sold deep fried street food.there were several lively bars, some tourist shops and a few vendors selling seafood from trucks. The sole bad meal we had was from the Wyndham. We got carry out because we arrived so exhausted and it was truly bad! We found the traffic to San Juan to be pretty bad, so we stayed in the eastern part of PR, enjoyed the beaches with the natural vegetation, the rainforest and the nice areas around Rio Grande, Fajardo and Luquillo.
