Excellent service, extremely cold beer and really good fresh fish. Tonight we tried the pinchos de pescada. Grouper and tuna skewers grilled. Tuna was medium rare and grouper was fully cooked both were excellent!

My husband and I stumbled on this place on google reviews. We tried stingray and shark for the first and it was AMAZING. Their curried tortilla chips were an amazing combo I didnt know existed. Fish is DEFINITELY a specialty. The grilled (mahi) and deep fried (shark) fish skewers were amazing. Definitely try both as the fried one isn't battered and it was soooo good. The cwrribean ceviche was bomb. Fried rice was bomb. Mapoenga (their version of rice and beans) was bomb. 10/10 will come back before the end of my stay :)

Our friends recommended we come here . I wasn’t expecting much bc of the rustic feel with outdoor picnic tables, but the food was amazing ! The fish I had with their rice and veggies was the best meal I had our entire trip in Rincon and the service was very good . We will be back someday for sure !!

We arrived hoping that after the third night in operation that the kinks for a new location would be worked out. Guess what, the ownership does not have their act together
I ordered sparking Pellegrino and the bottle was warm.
We ordered a nice $45 white wine and it was warm and should be served very cold.
The shrimp app was nice but $$$$ at $18
My main meal was Blackened Tuna which was well done and loaded with too much spice and NOT Blackened as the meal should have come.
My wife’s fried Snapper was really great and the shrimp topping was loaded with TOO much Salt.
The veggies had a copious amount of salt
I asked for ice for the Pellegrino and the kid never brought it. I got up and asked for more.
Had to use the rest room and there were no paper towels to dry ones hands.
Lastly my stomach has been upset all night so maybe I got a bad piece of Tuna.
If you have read this to the end congrats and what does this tell you…. It all starts with the management and ownership.
They spent lots of money renovating and I wish them the best.
Sue who is the hostess was very nice and friendly. Our server Camilla was super nice and helpful.
I will leave it up to anyone who reads this to dine here. My vote is give them some time to get their act together and get the owner to meet and greet his customers.
Merry Christmas to all.

La Cambija used to be legendary, the place to go for authentically prepared local seafood in Rincón. Not anymore. The food is still good, and the service is excellent but it’s just… not authentic and local. We used to come here year after year to experience real Puerto Rican food, but this year something radically changed. Everything is in English now. The empanadillas used to be amazing, now they’re nothing special. They put sugar in the ceviche now. It’s so sweet and syrupy it made my teeth hurt. You can’t even taste the delicate fish flavor. They serve fries with the burritos (?!). They offer beyond burgers now. They also offer jackfruit, which is cool, but it’s smothered in sugary bbq sauce. Everything is overly sweetened and salted. It’s mainland, boring and blah. They still have pinchos, thankfully, but they don’t even call them pinchos, they’re skewers. They play smooth jazz and elevator music instead of salsa. So disappointed. This used to be a highlight of my visits to the area.

Stopped in for dinner after watching the beautiful Rincon sunset. It's a very small place, was told 15-20 min wait but got a table in about 5 min. Our waitress Angelica was very bubbly and helpful. We all enjoyed the fresh watermelon drinks. I had the watermelon mojito hubby had the watermelon margarita. Kids had fresh watermelon juice. The food was fast and fresh! Great seafood. We all enjoyed it. We will definitely stop in again next time we're on this part of the Island. Definitely a little gem of a restaurant in beautiful Rincon.

La Cambija is an outdoor casual restaurant. Note that it is not open every day so check it's website for hours of operation. The food is wonderful...especially the Pinchos. Skewered & lightly fried with bread crumbs & a delicious dipping sauce. If your lucky enough to get Kitty as your server you will be happy indeed. Her food recommendations are always spot on. It's a happy place to have dinner. The pitchers of rum punches are marvelous. Give it a try I don't think you will be disappointed. Enjoy!

My wife and I ate at La Cambija multiple times while staying in Rincon February 2021. The rum punches and mojitos were great starters. On different nights we chose beef empanadillas, grouper pinchos (skewers), churrasco, grouper filets. One night a special was fried shrimp dumplings with kimchi aioli (my wife's choice) that she said was excellent and recommended it be added to the regular menu. The servers were all very polite and attentive. Overall the prices were reasonable and the servings (portions) were enough for two meals!

We thought we would go to an upscale restaurant on our last week in Rincon, and this place was ranked #2, what could go wrong?
First of all, its very difficult to make a reservation, many times the phone went unanswered. There is no website for reservation. So one evening we just drove there, and the guard at the entrance of the parking lot gave us a phone number to reserve a table. This place is very popular and it has a huge following. We came on a saturday evening @ five pm; we were seated after ten minutes. The decor is outdoor modern, the staff professional in attire. We enjoyed their house salad; assorted greens, carmelized pecans, fresh corn, fried noodles; and delicately dressed. But large pieces of red onions seemed out of place. The only highlight of our meal was the 'Poke'
My appetizer came in a nest, wrapped in a thin rice paper like pancake; the tuna was fresh and nicely marinated. Our main courses however were not exceptional. Mine a filet of grilled tuna accompanied by fried rice. The Tuna was more 'well done' than I liked. It was thin and a little too sweet. My wife opted for the panko-crusted mahi-mahi, with lobster risotto. The fish would be tastier grilled, it lacked any flavor since the crust dominated. And the risotto in any quality.. Italian restaurant would not pass; it was not creamy and soft, the rice used was not arborio; the only short grain rice that cooks properly in a true risotto. At the end of the meal I asked for coffee, and was shocked to hear that they did not serve coffee? wow? So all in all, we were disappointed, obviously this place could never qualify for a 'James Beard award. and the number two rating is surprising. ~tiaotse~

This "restaurant" is nothing more than a house converted to a restaurant, with outdoor seating only, so dress very casually because it can get a tad hot and humid at times.
The food is as fresh as you can get. We ordered fish tacos, fish burger with fried plantain and lion fish empanadas.
Don't be fooled by its looks, it is a great place for seafood.

Great food, but the service was really bad. They charge you for extra butter or bread. My wife ask for a salad without dressing and the waiter brought the salad with the dressing and basically called my wife a liar.

One of my favorite meals I’ve ever had. Our family (including kids) loved the Caribbean ceviche, fish tacos, salad, and fantastic veggie nachos. We also loved our Jamaican flower and passion fruit mojitos.

Cute restaurant with a fun vibe. Overall, a delicious meal! The fish skewers, tostones, and beans and rice, and salad were tasty. Drinks were good. I would avoid the nachos unless you like baseball game style "cheese sauce." We sent them back because it looked like a soggy mess. Service was good and they let us order something else instead. Fun place to eat in Rincon.

The restaurant is a small, nondescript building on a small side street in Rincon. Best fresh fish I have ever had, amazing presentation as well. The Hibiscus juice (yes juice, not tea) was fabulous and the Copa Tre Chocolatie dessert was outstanding. By far the best meal we had in Puerto Rico during the week we were there.
