Third Base

Great beachfront view, but food was ordinary at best. Burger was ordinary, fries were soggy, shrimp mofungo was good, but no sides or sauce to go with it. Overall, Meh.

I got one of their coco loco drinks. It was gross due to the nasty fake coconut alcohol mix which was headache inducing. I would rather just drink straight from a coconut – just coconut water.
The staff was slow but really nice. I saw some people with food that looked okay. There was a steady crowd coming in and out of the place and it was dirty, but clean at the same time, if that makes sense. I think that describes a lot of PR.
The location is unbeatable but I would not stop here again.

I put 5 stars when i have no complaints. Open, comfy, yummy food and drinks. You can go in and out from beach which is across street. In a bathing suit or regular clothes. Friendly people and clean.

We came to this place only because the highly recommended spot next door had no chef. It was great. We were waited on promptly. The Bloody Mary was good. Several people got coco drinks and seemed to enjoy. The mofongo y pollo was great. The food was not quick but made to order with love. Some folks were crying about the price. It’s on the beach so that is expected.

This place is good if you want to grab a quick drink coming off of the beach. If you’re looking to sit down and eat, make sure you give yourself at least 2 hours. The service here is unusually slow. I ordered food midway through the first quarter of an American Football game because we wanted to head back to the hotel at halftime, and I did not receive what I ordered until halftime. The food was pretty good though, and it was not overly expensive. Just make sure you’re not in a hurry when eating here.

Coming from a visitor that grew up eating Alcapuria, this place has the best ones on the beach! They also make a delicious (and strong) coco loco. I never understand all of these awful reviews. Unilocal shouldn’t be abused for Petes sake!

OK. I get it. Beachside bar and grill. Don’t expect too much.
If you need a quick drink and bite to eat so you can get back to the beach, you’d be better off packing your own beer in a cooler or ordering sodas, water and a snack from one of the many vendors actually on the beach.
Our server spoke ok English at best. You’d think they would be more fluent with all the hotels and tourists around but oh we.
We ordered a couple of sandwiches and cokes. Took forever to get drinks and even longer to get our food. I got the triple which had steak chicken bacon and some kind of sauce. It was pretty tasty and it alone is why this place gets 2 stars instead of just one.
There is just absolutely no team work here. Everyone seems to have the mentality of «that’s not my job». The bartender would just stand around if he was not fixing drinks and the cooks came out into the dining are on more than one occasion to just hang out when I know they orders to prepare.
The absolute worst part of ll was we ordered another triple to go for someone who was keeping an eye on our kids at the beach. We waited and waited and when we finally asked what the holdup was the server advised us that they ran out of bread and had to send someone to get more. Really?! You could not have told us this prior so we could have the option to order something else? The kicker was, when the person got back with the bread, she had another bag in her hand containing some kind of bottled spray, we were guessing perfuming. Ugh you went personal shopping while running a company errand? All in all it took about and hour and fifteen minutes to receive a sandwich that should have taken 5 minutes to make.
On a plus side, they do serve drinks in coconut shells if thats your thing.

There is beer.
There is food.
There is beach.
I don’t know what anyone else is expecting, but you won’t get towel service and lobster tail here.
But if the heat hits you on the beach and you need alcohol to cool down, then there are worse places then here!

I enjoyed the cocoloco here. It was delicious and deserves 1-​star alone.
We were a group of 6 who ordered 4 appetizers and 3 entrees. The apps were ok, what you can expect from a sports bar. The 2 ceviche appetizers we ordered should not be called ceviche. It was just a mess of frozen flavorless fish drenched in oil. The mozz sticks were ok.
For meals there were 2 sandwiches which the guys devoured. But were also just ok, passable for bar food. If they weren’t starving they wouldn’t have eaten them.
The grand slam fish entrée was a mess. Cold sides, not fresh seafood which was drenched in oil to mask the flavor. Service was mediocre at best. However they waitress was very understanding when we returned the grand slam entrée.
Over all. I say for drinks and location this place is good. For food, service and anything else, try something else. It’s an American sports bar on the beach. It has nothing else going for it.

If I could give zero stars, I would. First, we waited over 30 minutes to be given menus and then about another hour for the food. The service was beyond poor but I don’t blame that on the waitress. She was the only server with about 8 tables. There was a man behind the bar, which I believed to be the owner. He was pacing back and forth not doing a thing! The least he could do is pick up the slack and help the waitress with the overwhelming number of customers. But of course he did not. It appeared he couldn’t even be bothered with printing out the checks for the other customers who waited for a very long time. Our food was less than mediocre and cold.
Words of wisdom: Don’t waste your money or your time with this place.

First we wanted to eat at somefhere else. But it was full of people, so we needed to come here. I ordered piña colada and it was delicious. I ordered two of them. 2 star is just for the piña colada. Appetisers, fried calamari, was greasy and the sauce was not real tartar sauce. And my seafood salad was not bad, but the octopus was so rubbery it was hard to chew. Shrimp&fries were good. 1 star for that. Our waitress litterally didn’t even cared about us. We ate the appetisers with our HANDS because she didn’t bring the silverware and we asked for it twice. Her english was not good lets hope its because she didnt understand. Service was slow, really slow. My dad regret because he ordered a coffee. İt took 10 min for just a coffe.
PRİCE: ıt was much more expensive than the other restaurants which they are much more better than this place. We payed 67 $
For 2 person.
İts not worth it, go try somewhere else.

It’s a small place, but the food was very good. I also had one of their signature drinks, coco loco and it was great!

The place is very mediocre. We pretty much came here because the place beside it (Alambique) was full and had a long wait.
The coco loco was pretty cool since it came inside the actual coconuts.
The food was average and took forever to come. I think they only have 1 server and 1 cook in the entire place.

Fun place. Quick to get drinks and food right next to the beach. If def come back. Laid back and chill

mediocre food, but prime location on the beach.

Ha… poor service but this place its just your typical hang out spot after the clubbing if you need a drink or two.

Just terrible! We showed up at the restaurant/​bar and nobody showed us where to sit… so I seated myself. I’ve seen the waitress pace past us to serve the two other tables that were there. After 25 minutes the waitress never came by to say I’ll be right with you or get the drinks order. I’ve seen this is a common experience here from other Unilocalers. Save yourself some time and go next door for a better meal and faster service.

The drink that comes in a coconut is actually pretty good… But overpriced fur it’s size. A good picture opportunity for sure though. Everything else was just below average.

Horribly slow service, I went there to get the coco loco and triple play drinks and waited for 20 minutes. I first received the coco loco (very weak) drink then waited another 10 mins for the triple play after my first drink had already melted. I also witnessed other costumers complaining about slow service and requesting their money back. I would recommend going to the alambeque bar instead. Not worth the wait.

Debated between a 2 and 3 star, should be. 2.5. Food was good but the service was SLOW. I ordered the mofongo with shrimp, only got 3 shrimp but the actual mofongo was tasty, lots of garlic and the favors were very nice. Someone else In the group of 4 ordered the fresh fish and it was not fresh, smelled a few days old. Daughter got a burger and it was typical bar burger. The service was horrible, food took over an hour to be served and there were only 4 tables. After the server took our order and delivered our drinks she never came back until she brought the food. Asked for another round of drinks and they got delivered at the end of our meal. After leaving met a local who said el ambique (spelling?) next door is a much better choice.
