Daily Costs for food?
Culebra, Puerto Rico

My husband and 18 yr old son are trying to plan a trip to culebra mid-march. Can someone give us an idea how much it should cost us to eat each day. We don't need to eat anything fancy, we're pretty laid back. We'd also like to taste some of the local food.

Can anyone help me.

It just depends on whether you will have a place to cook your own food, or will eat all meals out. You will find that food in the groceries on the island are certainly higher, but you should be able to get all your staples, should you choose to cook in. You can get inexpensive food at the kioskos at Flamenco and it is local. Look under the food and drink tab above and to your left and this should give you some idea of what is available. Good luck and have a wonderful time.

I think it depends where you live right now. I find comparing it to the prices we pay at home for groceries we pay less in Culebra. Some items are about what we pay here in Montreal. There are several groceries about the Island, and they all have better prices than others on certain items. You just have to shop around.

As for eating out Mamacitas wraps were huge ( fatty love fed me for 2 days ). My husband and teenage son who have big appetites were satisfied (which is rare, especially after working up an appetite snorkeling). I believe all the sandwiches and wraps are in the $10 range. Heather's pizza also fed us well, and with 2 for 1 drinks and slices during Happy Hour, well you can't beat that. There are plenty of other places too but those two were the favorite with my boys.

Culebra is a great place to Vacation when on a budget. Even with its lack of "tourist traps" the children had a blast.
