This ugly little place is practicing a scam as old as time and so common throughout Mexico. You're told one thing and then the bill comes with something entirely different. We were brought here for lunch by a local who promised something great, we sat and reviewed menus while ordering drinks. They suggested that 5 of us, rather than ordering individually, should get a large "seafood platter" instead, insinuating that it would be a better value. It turned out to cost about 4x what it would have if we had ordered off the menu. Judging by other reviews, this has been happening here for years. The "platter" was a tin foil covered baking sheet with a small lobster, 3 shrimp, 3 tacos, half a fried fish, some French fries, a pile of rice, and some misc garnish- not much food for 5 men. The price was almost $4,000- insanity. The restaurant is dirty and the bathroom is horrendous. The food is slow and the flies are abundant. The sand at the restaurant is filled with ants that will crawl all over you. The dogs stay near your table looking for scraps while the fleas jump onto your legs. The bay itself is also dirty, with floating sewage and many fishing boats that dump their waste in the water. I would not advise going to the area at all, but if you do, definitely do not eat at this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and visit Mazunte or Zipolite instead. Both are beautiful with a variety of great restaurants that don't need to scam people out of their hard earned...
Read moreIt takes a certain type of entitled arrogance to visit a small town beach with literally 4 restaurants and give one of them a 1-2 star review.
The service at this place is absolutely great! We stayed in Puerto Ángel for a month, and the waiter Rigoberto never forgot us. After the first visit, he recognized us on the way to the market a few days later and said hello! He offered us tips on boat tours and was always very helpful at the restaurant.
As long as we stayed away from the non-Mexican dishes here, the food was good! Great salsas, very good carnes, and the drinks were exactly what we’d expect. The location can’t be beat, although sometimes at dinner the tide can start inching a little close to the shoreline tables.
Overall, this place was great, and they really won us over with...
Read moreUn lugar sumamente horrible, llegamos a la playa e inmediatamente un señor comenzó a seguirnos e insistir promocionando su “restaurante” si es que siquiera se puede considerar uno, en el cual podríamos sentarnos por el consumo en general, llegamos y la señora que nos atendía no paraba de insistir por un recorrido en lancha al cual aceptamos por un alto precio, prometiendo el avistamiento de delfines y tortugas así como un tiempo de mínimo 2hrs y media, en el recorrido no vimos absolutamente nada, lo cual es comprensible ya que no es de su control, sin embargo, no cumplieron con las horas prometidas, quitándonos más de media hora de recorrido y casi obligándonos a consumir unas bebidas. Dejamos pasar eso y nos sentamos un rato más, pagamos lo del consumo de bebidas y nos dijeron que el costo de la mesa era de 500 pesos y que únicamente podría hacer válido lo prometido si se hacía consumo de alimentos, cosa que nunca antes nos habían mencionado, y que a pesar de haber gastado más de 3000 pesos entre la lancha y bebidas no se podía descartar lo de la mesa. Básicamente nos obligaron a consumir lo equivalente al precio de la mesa, y era eso o nada. Todo eso en un tono soberbio y entre gritos ya que los que atienden son sumamente maleducados. Posteriormente pedimos un plato de un precio equivalente el cual estaba pésimo, las verduras parecían echadas a perder y no valía para nada el precio. Preferentemente ahorrarse conflictos asistiendo a este lugar tan desagradable, si pudiera le...
