Restaurnte Playa Norte is one of many restaurants on the Malecon with the Palapa style roofs right on the beach with ocean views. This restaurant did have great views and was in a great location. Nevertheless, those are the only good thing I can say about this restaurant. The meal that was ordered consisted of a shrimp ceviche with minced seafood, chicken fajitas and guacamole. The shrimp ceviche was not fresh, it was warm despite it being a cold dish, the shrimp was not cleaned well and some still had parts of the shell on them. The minced fish was inedible. The chicken fajitas were OK at best, but the guacamole was actually quite nice. The service was slow, the drinks were not very tasty and the menu did not have any English translation despite being in a super touristy area.

La comida, un desastre total: sin sabor, sin condimentos, sin alma. Pedí una sopa de mariscos y me trajeron lo que parecía agua sucia de trastes.
El ambiente es otro engaño. Estar junto al mar y al monumento suena bien en papel, pero en la práctica es decepcionante, incómodo y ruidoso. El precio es un insulto: cobran como si sirvieran alta cocina, pero lo que ofrecen no lo salva ni una fondita de paso.
Este lugar no vale ni tu tiempo ni tu dinero. Ojalá hubiera leído las reseñas antes de caer en esta trampa turística. Me hubiera ahorrado el coraje y el mal...
