If you wanna taste real Acapulco food, this is a right place. It's been doing food service since 1975 or something, therefore you should expect really good dishes

Very authentic and delicious South Mexico seafood. You can dine on the beach level or above with a beautiful view of the bay. Kind and prompt staff.

Great seafood, always fresh and well prepared. This family run restaurant has been our favourite for years!

Great place to enjoy your food with a wonderful view. The food is tasty and an excellent service.

The food is delicious and the portions are ok, a little small but service is great. The pescadillas (fish tacos) are really good.
