I recently had the pleasure of dining at Calle 13 Mexican Cantina Restaurant & Tequila Bar in Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant colors and decor set the perfect atmosphere.
The menu boasted a variety of Mexican dishes, and tequila. I opted for the classic carne asada tacos and quesadillas. The flavors were rich and authentic. Each bite was a symphony of perfectly seasoned meat, fresh salsa, and a hint of lime.
The staff's warmth and hospitality added to the overall charm of the place. They were attentive, offering recommendations and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. They have a variety of high-end Tequilas. A shot of "Chaquira" tequila is a must-try – a refreshing complement to the bold flavors of the cuisine.
Located just a stone's throw from Luquillo Beach, this Mexican gem is not only a culinary delight but also offers a picturesque view.
In conclusion, if you find yourself in Luquillo Beach craving the flavors of Mexico, this restaurant is a must-visit. With its authentic cuisine, friendly staff, and scenic location, it promises a culinary journey that will leave you planning your next visit before you've even...
Read moreThis is only the second review I’ve ever written, as I would hate to hurt a small business, but this place was awful. So sad we picked to eat there with the many choices available. As high as the prices were we were expecting amazing food. When ordering we found out that they were out of many things on the menu. Then after ordering when are food was delivered, we were told they were out of more things! Tacos were literally hard, dry meat with raw onions and cilantro. No, pineapple, no sour cream, no guacamole. Literally nothing to put on the dry tacos. Our whole party was shocked at the quality of the food. Tasteless and hard to even eat.

Thought maybe it was just a really bad night for the restaurant, but tons of reviewers have said the same. Would definitely skip with all the choices...
Read moreWhile the waitresses at Calle 13 Mexican Cantina and Tequila Bar were incredibly friendly, unfortunately, the tacos we received fell short of expectations. The steak tacos tasted like the meat had been boiled and lacked any garnish, while the shrimp taco was simply shrimp in a tortilla, devoid of any additional flavor. What was particularly disappointing was the absence of garnishes or sauces accompanying any of the tacos. Despite the establishment's positive reviews, our dining experience left much to be desired in terms of taco quality and presentation.

Charging $20 for a shrimp taco and $15 for a steak taco seemed unjustifiable given the simplicity of the dishes and their subpar execution. This further added to the overall disappointment of our dining experience at Calle 13 Mexican Cantina and...
