The Piñones area (where we are located) is an extremely popular area in Loiza. Hundreds of Locals and tourists come to enjoy the traditional fritters, the cold coconut drinks, and the charm of this cultural rich coastal town. Due to its popularity and its limited entry roads, the weekends tend to get packed and getting in and out of the area during the summer produces traffic, especially on Sundays. Saturdays expect 5-10 min delays. SUNDAYS coming in anytime after 11:30-12pm and getting out of the area after 2:30-3pm expect 1hr delays or more.

We suggest another route OUT of Piñones on Sundays that are longer in distance, but faster in transit; could be about 45min drive from DRIFT to Santurce or Condado Area. We recommend coming in early to enjoy the vibe of the town, and head out anytime after lunch or head out through the back way. We do have some awesome specials you can enjoy from 3-8pm and wait out the traffic with a beer in hand.
