Kioskos de Luquillo
A row of beachfront food stalls at Luquillo on the northeast coast, dozens of them in a line running from fry counters to sit down restaurants. It is the classic stop on the way back from El Yunque. The other famous cluster is Piñones, between San Juan and Loíza, more informal and right on the sand.
Example
Coming down from El Yunque, the Luquillo kiosks are right on the way and solve lunch without driving back to San Juan.

Frequently asked questions
Are they all open all the time?
No. They open and close in shifts and weekends are busiest. Midweek only part of the row is running.
Do I need cash?
Many take cards, but cash avoids trouble at the smaller stands.
