We were in search of some true Island cuisine and we found it at Villa Morales. Each of us got a different plate so that we could share and taste...and just everything was delicious! Jen our waitress was super cool and very helpful. JT and Anige the owners graciously came to our table and introduced themselves which made our night... More

Wonderful food at reasonable prices close to Fredericksted. We had conch chowder, two types of conch and two types of goat. Each was delicious. Okay, the food is out of this world, but you've got to save room for the mojitos. By far, the best ever.

If you only go to one restaurant on St. Croix, this small local restaurant is the place to go for authentic Crucian food. The chef, Angie and her husband J.T. run this family operation on Thurs, Fri and Sat only so make sure that you plan accordingly. I had the conch chowder which was way different than the normal chowder... More

Villa Morales is just off the "Center Line" of St Croix nearer to Frederiksted. It offers local quisine in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Be adventurous but go early. You can't go wrong. I had 1/2 and 1/2 of the buttered conch and stewed conch with rice and beans. Delicious. The mussels as an appetizer were rich with garlic.... More

Villa Morales has been my favorite restaurant on St. Croix since 1971! This is a restaurant with a family tradition that holds dear the flavors of St. Croix and the Caribbean. Angie and JT have a staff that is so friendly, you feel at home as soon as you enter the place. I love their fried chicken, have to have... More

Villa Morales is a Latin/Caribbean gem off the beaten path near Frederiksted. As noted, it's only open 3 days a week for lunch and dinner so plan accordingly. The mojitos are VERY refreshing and the food is just delicious...not fancy or trendy. Just great home cooking. Lunch is a little sleepy but dinner service is jam-packed so reservations are a... More

This is an island gem. It's only open Thurs.-Sat. so you have to plan ahead but it's worth it. I have eaten Puerto Rican and Caribbean food all over and this was some of the very best I've ever had. I don't know how you make beans like that, but they were incredible. I enjoy eating goat and the stew... More

We've returned to our favorite Saturday night dinner spot at Villa Morales. It is more like being at home....whether a frequent guest or a new guest you'll not get a warmer welcome than at Villa Morales. JT's mojitos are the best, the food authentic, Angie keeps things running smoothly, Joyce and Carmen take good care of you at the table.... More

My wife and I are spending our first-ever trip to St. Croix and stumbled on to this local eatery. We had lunch there twice and enjoyed both visits. Family-owned, we got to know both JT and Joyce. JT is a fellow Lion and their local club meets at this restaurant twice a month. I knew it would be good because... More

Vila Morales, a family owned and operated Caribbean eatery ;ocated near the West End of the Island of St. Croix, has been a weekend refuge for my family and me for decades. They have been in business for well over fifty years; there is also a guest house attached with very nice, cozy rooms as well. They offer classic local... More
