La Lonja Steak Station — Restaurant in Guerrero

UPDATE - April 28, 2023 I guess all good things must come to pass! My wife and I are back in Zihua after a three year absence and are disappointed to discover that La Lonja is no longer open for dinner! We were looking forward to a return visit to our favorite restaurant in town. Will not be paying them a visit for breakfast, so cannot update my food review.

FROM 3 YEARS AGO: This little hidden gem was recommended to us by another restaurant owner in the Ixtapa area. I would highly recommend you add this to your "must eat at" list while vacationing in the Zihuatanejo / Ixtapa area.

I would rate it as being slightly above average for prices, but the service was great, cocktails were on for 2-for-1 and we were eating dinner in Zihua - who can complain?!

My wife had the ribeye steak while I decided on the grilled octopus. She chose a side of grilled vegetables, while I had a bake potato as the side with my meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty. The chimichurri sauce for my wife's steak was also excellent.

For starters we split an appetizer of breaded calamari and a bowl of clam soup. The soup was more of a creamy bisque, but was rich and flavorful. The calamari were tender and served with a marinara sauce, which was not what we would call a marinara sauce in Canada, but it was still delicious.

I have come to realize breaded calamari in Mexico does not truly mean breaded (as in bread crumbs), but apparently battered and fried like pub-style fish and chips. I initially discovered this at another restaurant I reviewed where it was a huge failure. At La Sonja, although battered instead of breaded, it was still tasty and cooked properly.

We finished off dinner with a crepe served with Nutella and a side scoop of ice cream. It was very good and just the right amount split between two people after a big meal.

As I mentioned, I would definitely suggest you add this to your list of restaurants to go to in Zihua; I can't imagine you would be disappointed. Not sure what forms of payment are accepted;...

Great little place with amazing food and service! We went for breakfast and will definitely be coming back to try their dinners! Very fresh and delicious dishes and everyone there was friendly and helpful. They let us bring our dog and even brought out a bowl of water for him which was very thoughtful. Thanks so much for a great...

The stakes are great!! $12.50 for divine filet mignon. Yum! The fish however is vile!! Avoid the fish at all cost or you will get Delhi belly. The ribs are also disgusting! Got to be very careful about what you order here only the steak if you're in the mood for fish...
