| Fam Coop (Edward's Food Mart) - in the little RINCON SHOPPING CENTER right across route 115 from Calle #8. Good selection. We use this one a lot as we want to support the smaller businesses in the town. Work: (787) 823-7700. Mobile: (787) 218-8720. Gmartinez44@hotmail.com | Casa Isleña is very good - 787-823-1525 -- (GPS: N18 22.282 W67 15.219) (11/2010) |
|
| Econo-Rincón - on route 115, on the Casa Aramelle side of town. | El Rincon Cafe, across from Rincón post office.(GPS: N18 20.681 W67 15.001). Nice people, good food, good lunch spot. Not open for dinner. (11/2010) | |
| Rincón Cash-and-Carry - in town, on the square. | Lazy Parrot 787-823-5654 - (GPS: N18 21.642 W67 15.391). Restaurant upstairs for dinner. For lunch, go down to THE RUM SHACK by the pool. (11/2010) | |
| Bakeries and small "colmado's" carry milk and bread and other staples. Can get a whole chicken at EC Bakery opposite Rincón Stadium on rt. 115. Also La Libanesa Bakery is simple, cheap, and friendly; it's in Rincon (leaft side, at the corner of 115 and road to Marina). | The English Rose (for brunch) 787-823-4032 (GPS N18 21.243 W67 15.180) Worth the challenge of getting there. Take narrow uphill road across Route 413 from the Steps Beach driveway. It's a narrow road with tropical vegitation growing over the sides of the road...but don't let that fool you. You are on the right path (literally). Head on up that road, you will pass Tres Palmes Estates and hit a very steep section of road, just keep on cruising up. At the very top of the very steep part of the road the road will turn right...follow the road to the right for about another 250 yards and it will be on the right hand side. | |
| Broadway Bagel, Subway, Quiznos, Burger King, etc. - they're out there, you can't miss them. (No shortage of fast food joints in Rincón) | Pools Beach 787-823-2583. Nice Sushi. It's in the Puntas neighborhood, not far from Casa Isleña. | |
| Fresh fish: Rincón is a fishing village where it is a challenge to find fresh fish to buy! Your best bet is to ask people where and when the fishermen come ashore with their catch - and buy directly from them. | Mahi-Mahi on route 402, almost to Route 2. (GPS: N18 17.937 W67 09.646) | |
| Roadside vendors sell fruits and vegetables - There's an especially good one on Route 115 heading toward Mayagüez, almost at Route 2 (GPS: N18 17.564 W67 10.652) | Das Alpen Cafe - Just off the main square in downtown Rincon. German and Italian food. Open 5-10pm | |
| Sam's Club - in the Western Plaza Shopping Center, Route 2, Mayagüez. You need a member's card. | "The Spot" (formerly the Black Eagle) Quite good food. Expensive, though, we think. 787-823-3510. Call first to make sure it's open. | |
| Farmers' Market: We understand there is a Farmers Market every day in Mayagüez and that Stall 23 has the best produce. It isn't organic but it is fresh. For directions, ask in Naturcentro | Pizzaland - at the southern end of town, next to the Lebanese bakery. Order over the phone, pick it up or have it delivered. 787-823-0606 (11/2010) |
|
| Mexican Restaurant - in the town of Rincon, by the Presbyterian church. | ||
| Angelo's (on route 115 towards Mayagüez) | ||
| The Shipwreck - (GPS: N18 20.711 W67 15.575) | ||
| Tropicale (they say the blue one behind the furniture store on 115 is better than the one in parking lot near laundromat) | ||
| Kahuna Frappe - in Bonet Plaza, just down the road a few hundred yards. Sweet non-alcoholic drinks. Very sweet, very filling, very delicious! | ||
The Horned Dorset Primavera 787-823-4050 (N18 17.967 W67 13.823) has a "Relais and Chateau" rating. (Bring a big wallet. Gentlemen need to wear long trousers.) ..... Flash Update (May 2011)!!! - We hear the Horned Dorset Primavera is a great place to go for lunch!!! |
