La Casa Vieja — Restaurant in Guerrero

I visited on a quiet Tuesday, which gave me the rare pleasure of having the place almost to myself. The serene atmosphere, paired with a soundtrack of classic Spanish oldies, think Pedro Infante and Los Panchos added a delightful layer of nostalgia and warmth. It felt like stepping back into a more romantic era.

The Food: I indulged in two standout dishes: the Shrimp Fajitas and the Mixiote of Fish and Shrimps. Both were absolutely terrific, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. A word of advice, though: Order just one at a time. The portions are generous, and sharing (or saving room for dessert) is the way to go!

The Service: Jaime Ricardo took exceptional care of me, attentively checking in to ensure everything was perfect. His professionalism and warmth truly elevated the experience.

The Value: While the dishes are priced above average, the quality, ambiance, and service make it worth every peso.

Final Verdict? 100% recommended, a perfect blend of exquisite food, nostalgic charm, and impeccable service. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful solo meal or a romantic evening, this...

Whenever we travel, we always ask the locals for restaurant recommendations. Our taxi driver, born and raised in Zihua, recommended La Casa Vieja. We just love this restaurant. The food is so fresh, authentic, and made from scratch. The homemade tortillas come hot off the grill. We ordered extras to bring back to the hotel. They threw in melted garlic butter, yummy 😋. The highlight was an anniversary party for the owners 41st wedding. Live music with guitars, violins, and wonderful singers. Our waitress Tina could sure belt it out ! The owners bought us a round of drinks to help celebrate. We had SO much fun we had to come back. Not just for the delicious food but the atmosphere. I had the Shrimp Chili Relleno, and my husband had Shrimp Fajitias with rice and tortillas. We came back a second time, and I had the Avocado Shrimp Tower. Our best friends had the soup with a ton of fixings: delicious. There was music again. Please come visit, you won't be disappointed. Very family friendly. The family is so inviting. ...

To start, the singer-pianist rivalled Buckwheat in his unique reinterpretation of the old standards, so bad he was good, but way too loud and the management didn't seem to twig to the fact that everyone was choosing to sit as far away as possible. We started with guacamole that was fine, but when finished it sat in the centre of the table for ages despite the staff outnumbering the clients by some distance. My costillas were succulent but the rich plum barbecue sauce was too sweet for my and my wife's taste, though my son enjoyed the rib I gave him, and he and our daughter enjoyed the pork dishes they ordered, while my father in law thought his arrachera dish was excellent. The space is airy and pleasant. But the music, oh...
