Recs for Humacao (Southeast Puerto Rico) area?
I just went to the most unexpected fantastic restaurant just outside of Fajardo called La Estacion. It was opened by a guy named Kevin Roth who moved from Brooklyn with his wife (she wanted to move home to PR to start a family). the food was a very welcome change from the fried stuff you get all along Route 3 in the kioskos. he obviously knows his way around a kitchen actually, they have a well-equipped outdoor grill area).
Like I said, food was fantastic: Grilled Red snapper with a light BBQ sauce and a (if memory serves) starfruit salsa, grilled corn and Mango salad with cashews and a cilantro-ginger vinaigrette, garlic shrimp with peppers and crunchy nests.
we went on a bioluminescent lagoon tour first, changed into dry clothes and stopped at la estacion as we left town. great way to spend a day. They'll be getting some guide book press soon, so go before everyone else discovers it!
