Los Kioskos de Luquillo
The kioskos are a row of family-owned stalls on Calle Marginal, selling food, drinks and souvenirs. Discover Puerto Rico says they vary in style, taste and price, that all are open-air, and that some face the street while others look out at the beach. Our Luquillo Beach guide places them close by along PR-3, suggests grabbing frituras from the kiosks after a swim, and covers parking and the beach itself, and our street food guide covers the dishes.
