Perfect dinner here overlooking the harbour. I had a delicious guacamole followed by a fish fillet (catch of the day) in garlic, with rice and assorted vegetables. Superb service. Recommended

Service was great since I got there. View I would say isn't the best. I ordered a tostada de ceviche and a fish fillet and 2 beers. All was real good although fish was a bit dry. Bill came back a bit unreadable and for $450. I asked and they corrected to $335. I was told by a taxi driver that it's one of the oldest restaurants around. I would come back for the good service and fresh taste.

Great location with several seating options including beach, patio, or near the street. Great menu selections with friendly knowledgeable staff. I’ve eaten here twice in the past weeks and always love the amount of vegetables they serve with each meal - yummm. They have also brought us a complimentary fish tapenade both times.

I had breakfast here twice because it’s so lovely. My cheese and mushroom omelette came beautifully garnished with slices of tomato, avocado and onion and, of course, a generous helping of refried beans with cheese sprinkled on top. Good “espresso” coffee too and charming staff. With views of the ocean and cooling ceiling fans, what’s not to like?!
