Rancho Bella Vista Lago de Yojoa — Restaurant in Cortés

📍 Español:

El lugar tiene una vista muy bonita y la infraestructura también es agradable. Sin embargo, la atención dejó mucho que desear, ya que parecía que nos atendían con poca disposición o de mala gana. Éramos un grupo grande, aproximadamente 17 personas, y pedimos una variedad de platillos: pescados fritos, sopas, hamburguesas y pollo.

El pescado estaba muy rico, al igual que las tajaditas y el encurtido — sin duda, fue lo mejor de la comida. No recomiendo las hamburguesas; no tenían buen sabor. Entiendo que es un restaurante de mariscos, pero para quienes no consumen pescado o son alérgicos, no lo recomendaría, ya que incluso la hamburguesa de pollo sabía a pescado.

La sopa no fue buena, era muy líquida y le faltaba sabor, especialmente leche de coco. Las jaibas no estaban bien limpias, ya que el primer bocado sabía a tierra o sucio. Aunque el plato se veía grande, en realidad era muy ligero.

Lamentablemente, 10 de las 17 personas del grupo se enfermaron después de comer, por lo cual no recomiendo este lugar. En general, fue una mala experiencia.

📍 English:

The place has a beautiful view and the setting is quite nice. However, the service was disappointing — it felt like the staff was not very willing or friendly. We were a large group, around 17 people, and we ordered a variety of dishes: fried fish, soups, burgers, and chicken.

The fried fish, plantain chips, and pickled vegetables were delicious — definitely the best part of the meal. However, I wouldn’t recommend the burgers. They didn’t taste good. I understand this is a seafood restaurant, but for those who don’t like seafood or are allergic, I wouldn’t suggest it — even the chicken and fish burgers tasted like fish.

The soup wasn’t good either; it was very watery and lacked flavor, especially coconut milk. The crab wasn’t cleaned properly — the first bite tasted dirty or earthy. While the plate looked big, it was quite light.

Unfortunately, 10 out of the 17 people in our group got sick after eating here, so I do not recommend this place. Overall, it was a...

Definitely recommend this restaurant to all, arrived about 20 minutes before they closed and they still greeted and served us with out rushing us or anything like that. I got to pick the fish I wanted to eat, was huge for 2 and they even sliced it in half and served ir in two plates for us and it was really good. The only thing I think they should improve is the temperature at which they keep the beers but it could also had been that they had restocked for the next day by the time I got there. The place also has multiple seating areas and a deck decorated with many flags which is a great place foe pictures and a nice view...

The place is a great stop if you pass by the Yojoa Lake. The fried fish is delicious and well-cooked!! So that is a must try. The people are nice (a bit slow sometimes but they will still treat customers nicely). The only thing is that maybe is better to eat inside the proble outside is the amount of flies, management should do...
