Calizo Seafood Restaurant

I will start off by saying that I recommend this restaurant 100%. It has a very inviting atmosphere but that isn’t the reason why everyone should go here, the food is.
We got the mixed seafood croquets to start… wow. there was not even a crumb left of it. My husband got the swordfish (which neither of us have ever had before) and it was amazing. I got the skirt steak. The portions for the steak are crazy. I could barely finish half. The steak itself… probably the top 3 steaks I have ever had in my life.
On top of the nice atmosphere and incredible food, you get amazing service. Our server, Eugene, was extremely courteous, friendly, and gave some great suggestions on food (thanks Eugene!)

stopped at calizo for lunch, their restaurant was close but the cuchifrito side operation was open, every thing tasty and go

It was a good place to eat. The snapper was good, calamari was average, salmon tastes good as well.
Kind of expansive place to eat. The 5 of us spent 200 $ for dinner.
People there are nice, they offered to move us inside when bugs came.
Overall a nice experience.

This is a must visit restaurant. The chef pays a lot of attention to his food and the service is great.
I spent some large $$ on four people and I was happy & so pleased. My taste buds experienced a collision of tropical & local flavors with super fresh meats & seafood.
This is not your average restaurant, it is probably the best in the east coast of Puerto Rico. My diner started withy some huge and tasty shrimp in a coconut and guava sauce. I had to order this 3 times, it was that good! Then for my main dish, I had a huge local lobster tail with some mixed roots (casava and stuff in the potato type) with a jaw dropping presentation. We all had lobster and one with steak, mojitos and some flan they make that is so damn good.
Needless to say, it is on my plan already for my next vacations as a highlight!!!

You absolutely must get the red snapper. Again, if you don’t get this red snapper, you might as well stay home and eat macaroni.
This is absolutely the best fish preparation I’ve had in my life. Not only was it served whole, but the blend of marinade, spices, tenderness and freshness made this a meal experience I am not likely to ever forget.
So, for those who like things listed out, here is what you get:
1. A red snapper that’s out of this world
2. Friendly and homey service
3. Authenticity.
4. A jar of gypsy tears. Kidding, but they do give you am awesome little ice bucket for a single beer. Loved it.
5. Oh, and don’t whine if you get chicken fingers and they aren’t as good as you expected.
