Puerta al Sol — Restaurant in Salinas

The restaurant is located in beach and fishing neighborhood, very nice and of course, sunny and windy. The facilities are very nice, with a dining area with air conditioning, an area like a balcony to the sea (you can also feed the fish) where you can enjoy the sea, the seagulls and even see the windmills from Santa Isabel. You'll always see a guy in the front of the restaurant pointing to where you can park your car. The table service is very good too, with the waiters usually checking if you need something and making some great suggestions if you need help selecting a dish from their menu. The majority of food feel fresh and the quality good. The mayo-ketchup (pink sauce mostly made of ketchup and mayonnaise, very common in PR) is serve is a very little container. So if need more for your food, you'll need to keep asking for more. Overall, it was a nice experience and the view is relaxing. It would've been better if not for the music selection or maybe the volume could be adjusted. Although, I guess, when people drink too much they don't...

After then watching a new table walk in, get sat and get drinks before us... we decided to leave. Upon walking out, suddenly our missing waitress shows up and looks confused as to why we are leaving.

I am sure there are other restaurants in Salinas that are more eager for...

In a recent visit to Puerto Rico our intent was to visit some of our known eateries in the Salinas area. While totally unplanned, we landed at Puerta Del Sol and could not have been more pleased. Definitely where the locals eat. The food was simply delicious! From the empanadillas mixtas, the conch salad, asopao de camarones to the chillo (snapper) al mojo, everything was divine and fresh. Topped with the excellent, personable, prompt service by our server Yimari and the staff, clean facilities and the wonderful outdoor seating by the water (which we chose) made this a wonderful choice for our Sunday afternoon. Try Puerta del Sol. We sure will do so next time we come to Puert Rico. It is totally worth it. You will not be...
