The best seafood restaurants Pacific Coast

Neutral element in the seafood war between Pelicanos and Maria, Mario baked chickens in his way.

A small restaurant serving fish fillets and dishes not exceeding 100 pesos. Its specialty is the sea. For example, eat a chili relleno of mariscos (pepper stuffed with seafood).

On the main street, the Barracuda is a small, simple and pleasant place with a few tables in the shade on the sidewalk. It is by far the most popular and famous place in the area: it serves all the small specialties of the Pacific coast based on fish and seafood (crab, shrimp, octopus, scallops, etc.), starting with tostadas, tacos and aguachiles, served in huge portions. Of course, the menu also offers the little family mezcal, to quench your thirst after a busy day.

Why do we recommend Alejandra rather than the other palapas that are located at this end of the beach? Simply because here, the shrimp cocktails are absolutely divine, surely thanks to that little zest of orange pulp that makes all the difference in the preparation. And, as the rest of the menu is also successful (especially the breakfast dishes, copious and well done), this is where it happens, on a reclining chair with your feet in the sand (literally), facing the ocean. In full immersion.

Under this palapa decorated in the colors of the ocean, which offers a relaxed atmosphere at all hours, here is the most famous place in town to taste the freshest fish: grilled fish, fillets, shrimps and octopus. Here, we fish (we can take you, if you wish), cut, prepare and serve only what is worth cooking in the purest Mexican coastal tradition. The cooking is invariably successful and, oh miracle, you can even find shrimps in their natural state... Efficient and tasty.

I love this place which has kept a sincere simplicity despite the success of its cuisine: no fuss, you sit here with your feet in the sand, in the shade during the day and lit by candles in the evening. The dishes are very copious, everything the sea has to offer can be found here: octopus served with a deliciously spicy sauce, fish fillet, shrimps, etc. Also burger with fries and salads. This place could quickly become your cantine in Zipolite, especially since the margaritas are to die for.

Pleasant restaurant to enjoy grilled shrimps and fish, between two swimming pools.

Very good restaurant serving fresh seafood, but also very expensive. It offers a beautiful view of Zihuatanejo bay.

Small restaurant on the edge of the main beach which serves good fish and fresh beer.

What could be better than eating a ceviche con leche tigre with both feet in the sand, equipped with a bizarre spoon that doubles as a fork? Since 2016, it is in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that the young staff of Chicama offers a menu of Peruvian fusion cuisine to which one cannot remain indifferent. Lulled by the melodies of Manu Chao and Celia Cruz, cooks and waiters alike dance and sing along as they prepare fresh fish dishes, tiraditos and delicious house cocktails.
