El Ancla

Frommer's Review

This is one of Ponce's best restaurants, with a lovely, informal location 2 miles (3.2km) south of the city center, in the Playa del Ponce sector overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Look out at the water from the dining room and enjoy the culinary delights from the sea. Menu items are prepared with real Puerto Rican zest and flavor. A favorite here is red snapper stuffed with lobster and shrimp, served either with fried plantains or mashed potatoes. Other specialties are filet of salmon in caper sauce, and a seafood medley of lobster, shrimp, octopus, and conch. Most of the dishes are reasonably priced, especially the chicken and conch. Lobster tops the price scale. The side orders, including crabmeat rice and yucca in garlic, are delectable.
