Restaurante Big fish — Restaurant in Flores

I'm not used to giving bad reviews. I tend not to give reviews if they are bad, but this time I decided to do it because I want this to be an opportunity for improvement for Big Fish. This was surely an unfortunate evening, and I'm sure it will be better next time.

We ordered some tacos and a mixed ceviche. Two drinks, and a bottle of water.

The tacos dough was very soft and, I think, undercooked. The ceviche was just not acceptable. The major ingredients for marinating the fish was missing: no lime nor lemon.

Perfect guacamole, tender breaded shrimp, oil and vinegar on the side for the salad….open til 10:00 pm....

My family and I had an incredible dining experience at Big Fish in Flores, Guatemala. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Alexander and Selenne, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.
