La Sirena Gorda — Restaurant in Guerrero

Not sure if all of the reviews are real.

Shrimp cocktail had a very strange taste that made us question the freshness. Wasn’t expecting it to be like a US shrimp cocktail but was more like a bland ceviche like dish. Pic attached.

Fish strips were also a little different than expected. Raw fish like ceviche. Better than the cocktail though.

Shining stars were for the tacos. Got fish and shrimp pastor tacos that were both fantastic. Expensive for what it was but very tasty and unique.

Got the flan for dessert which was not like any flan we’ve had - more like a cheesecake. I actually loved it but my flan loving girlfriend did not approve. Not your typical custard-y flan.

Artwork...

The food was OK. We come here every year with family from Mexico City and the United Kingdom. Always a good experience..except for this last time: the owner/manager comes to my table of 10 people to asks if we had taken the Virgin Mary figurine from the shop without paying for it! We spent almost 3000 pesos in food, drinks and gifts and then we decided to steal a figurine!? That was very nice...implying your customers are thieves. Keep treating your customers that way and see how long your restaurant lasts. Not really feeling like coming back again or recommending the place to friends...

I’ve been going here for over 35 years. Sometimes 3-4times in a week vacation. Hope you don’t want to actually eat. Ordered pescadillas which were a bit different but delicious. Also ordered with the host’s recommendation the crab and shrimp burger. Waited over an hour, never came. Got the check and left. No explanation from the staff regarding my order. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Loved the place. Was going to buy 4 tee shirts but not after that experience. Appears the the boss needs to show up and keep an eye on things as in the past. Was so looking forward to it but really...
