Bucanero Review

Of all the restaurants in the Flamenco shopping area, Bucanero, with its kitschy maritime decor, serves the tastiest food. The portions are hearty and dishes are a step above those of its neighbors. There are meats on the menu (includingparrilladas, or barbecue meat platters), but the specialty is seafood. Start with a tangy ceviche, and then have the stuffed sea bass, a rich Parmesan-cheese crab gratin, or jumbo shrimp in a vodka sauce. There are shared platters for groups. Dining is on a breezy veranda overlooking the Flamenco Shopping Plaza -- if a cruise ship has docked you may struggle to get a table. It is also busy on live music nights, with jazz on Wednesday and salsa Thursday and Friday.

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.
