Lifeguards Of The Reef Cafe

This place was within talking distance of our hotel (coral by the sea). They have the best happy hour prices that we found as well as beach front. The staff was helpful- fun- and recommended THE BEST fish tacos I have ever eaten.

The most horrible experience and food of my entire life!…If you want to start your day with horrible food, a server with an attitude, stiff old fried fish, and good drinks. You should go here; this is definitely the place. From the minute the server came over to the TBL, she already had an attitude. I asked her a question about one of the drinks, and she gave me the most disgusting face. We ordered 2 fried fish, and they were super dry, oily, and old. 1 spicy crab salad, which wasn’t crab at all, and we ordered steak, and we got fried pork, “which the server kept being defensive about, saying that it was steak,” like you can’t tell the difference between pork and beef. Even the onions that were served with the fish looked disgusting. The amazing server with her great attitude literally disappeared for like 30 minutes because she was outside talking on her phone. We wanted to complain about the situation, but nobody was around to do so. We finally went to the bartender and told him about the situation, and he even asked, “Where’s your server?” “Like I was supposed to know that. When the bartender finally got her to our table and we complained about the food, she made it seem like we were crazy and that pretty much she didn’t care or wasn’t going to do anything about it. This lady’s life is so miserable, and it’s not even funny. Even the people that were sitting next to us were waiting for their food for the longest, all because she was busy on her phone. We ended up leaving this crappy hole with the worst experience, upset and hungry. Completely ignored our complaints and still charged us the full bill for food that we didn’t even touch

Yummy little spot by the beach. I ordered the French toast with ham & it was fluffy and delicious. Does come with a little salad, which was interesting at first but adds a refreshing touch to the meal (I just moved it to the other side as I didn’t want syrup on it lol). Also has great views of the beach while eating. The iced cookie butter coffee was fantastic as well. Highly recommend to stop by and have brunch or lunch here. Just fyi, eggs are an added cost to the meal, but wasn’t too bad of a cost.

The food and drinks were great. I had the breaded shrimp and sweet potato fries and my friend skirt steak and tostones. The drinks were just what we needed. The service was amazing. Our server was attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We came when it was slow, on a Monday. We enjoyed every minute!

This is a quaint little hidden gem and a local favorite! It’s a great spot for local fare. The establishment is just off the beach and the size of a garage, probably 10-12 seats. The servers were fun and aimed to please. The drinks were tasty and the food was good! We ordered the cirviche and the smoked pork. The price was a little higher than we expected but the experience was worth it.
