Arrecifes — Restaurant in Jalisco

Despite the mediocre ratings on Google, we were thoroughly impressed with the food here! The wife got the filet and shrimp with potatoes. The filet was tender, juicy and had a delightful seasoning that really made it pop. The shrimp also were uniquely seasoned, and really tasty! Even the potatoes were prepared with a creamy, cheesy blend. I got the seafood linguini that had a perfect blend of garlic and spices, fresh, tasty seafood and a fantastic garlic bread! The empanadas were an unexpectedtly tasty appetizer - crunchy and savory with a yummy sauce. The atmosphere could be brought up a notch by losing the bright, white Led lights, but it's cute and charming, and the service was outstanding, and it was an excellent value. I haven't read any of the other reviews, but I was reluctant to eat here, given the mediocre rating. But I highly recommend...

Fair. Not Great, but Not Bad.

Shared chicken fingers (chicken nuggets) and fish fingers and fries (fish & chips). Also ordered chips and guacamole. The food tasted fair. I've had better fish and chips, but had worse. The chips and guacamole was great. Old school corn tortilla chips and fresh guac. Although there are many cooks, bartenders, and dishwashers, there are few serving and wait staff. So doubt if they'll come by the pool, and even table service is slow/inattentive.

At poolside they need a signalling device to show you want to order, i.e., small piece of wood red on one side green on the other signifying you want to order, or...

When they reject you for not already having reservations...go to the empty bar next door, it is the same kitchen and menu.

That said it isn't great. For appetizers the ribeye volcan was decent as was the empanadas but the tacos were bland and dry. The cheese stuffed onion rings were just weird flavoring(blue cheese). Italian offering were not good(thick and gummy pasta and risotto). Steak was serviceable. Desserts were bland and dry. Cocktails...
