We don’t take pleasure writing a critical review. To be fair, the food was not bad honestly, however it was way over priced. There are many places offer better and more affordable options. Usually, that’s not enough for us to write a review, but we dined in a couple of days ago, sitting outside. The chief prepared a local’s food and my after. We pretty much order the same dishes, however the quantity of seafood was 3 times more for the locals than us. It was just sad this was the case, I know we are tourists, but we hope for some kind of fair and reasonable service as well. We ordered a $300 pesos dish, only with a couple of shrimp, tiny bit tuna, and a thin leg of octopus, which is not the norm because we went to many other restaurants with much better quality and quantity. Majority of our dish was cucumber, tomato, and onions.
We don’t take pleasure writing this. We actually understand that tourism may bring challenges and devastation to the town, indigenous people, and its community. But, if the restaurant makes it’s business by tourists and I am not sure the best thing to do was to mistreat customers - tourists or not.
The waitress was kind rude in a sense as well. She made no efforts to interact with us, which was actually great because we don’t need to be “served” honestly. However, when it comes to payment, she said tip a few times and when we said no, she was visibly annoyed. To be fair, the owners of the place...
Read moreMariscos Paseo del Centenario is a small spot with a casual vibe. The place is not very big, so it can get crowded quickly, and the service was on the slower side during our visit. That being said, the food really made up for it. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, and the callos de hacha were definitely the star of the meal.
The salsas, especially the habanero ones, were amazing and added the perfect kick to everything we ordered. Prices are fair for the quality of food you get, and the flavors make it worth the wait.
If you’re looking for a casual place with delicious seafood, this is a good option. Just be prepared to wait a bit for your order, especially if it’s busy, but once the food arrives, you’ll see why locals...
Read moreFood was great. The seafood globe? AHHH MAZE ING, AMAZING. the bacon wrapped fish stuffed with seafood (pictured) was cool too but I tasted that seafood globe first and almost lost my mind. It's so tasty.
For appetizer, we got the ceviche. The spicy one with avacado. I forgot the name cause it's so many they have but find those ingredients and that's the one we had. It was good too. Definitely enjoyed it.
Service was kind of weird though. The service just wasn't attentive. She take a request and leave and never come back. My friend ordered a water and never got that but got his beer he ordered in the same breath as the water.
All in all, I'd definitely come back and recommend the seafood globe I believe...
