Frommer's Review

A new restaurant for the island, Capicúa looks to attract customers bored with the usual run of the island's restaurants with some original cooking. The selection of tapas varies, but usually includes such things as smoked duck or abalone. And for those wanting something closer to comfort food there are barbecued chicken wings or shrimp al ajillo (with garlic and strips of toasted guajillo chile). I enjoyed the mahimahi encrusted with white and black sesame seeds, which was cooked just right. Salads can be had, too. There is an okay selection of wines and a full bar. The house in which the restaurant is located is decorated with a sense of humor; choose between a dining room with one of those beautiful, old tile floors and an old patio sheltered by a large tamarind tree.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
