Stopped in for lunch and we're pleasantly surprised. Service was quick and friendly, food was excellent and large portions and perfect ambience.Drinks were excellent, we have been to Loreto on 4 occasions and this was a first for us, we would have gone for dinner but evening temps were a little cooler.For the best table sit at the left front table and watch all the birds in the tree.

What a wonderful night out. Not only did they stay open late for our group, but they did it with finesse. Every meal was wonderfully cooked and served by a warm and friendly staff. Bring your translator if you don't speak the language. This is true blue authentic cuisine. The shrimp consomme was an added delight.

We ended up here by accident. We caught a Mahi Mahi and were told of a few places that you can take the fish to be cooked. Ask around and would up here and are so glad we did. We showed up 30 minutes before closing time but did not feel rushed at all.The food itself is amazing, we ordered from the menu but also surrendered our fish to be cooked by the lady chef to her liking. The pictures I posted are if what she did. Sashimi, fish Tacos, garlic filet. We also ordered margaritas which were deliciously fresh, chile relleno, ceviche and other things. The pictures are of the Mahi Mahi

It’s a bit misleading being g right off the highway but this is a great place, I had the tacos de enchilado that were muy picante!

This is where the locals go for seafood. Really nice people, very helpful and patient with our bad Spanish. They did only take cash, but were upfront about it. The prices were very reasonable. The food was excellent. I had the garlic shrimp and it was perfect. My husband had the fish fillet with mustard sauce and it was really delicious. I'm glad we ordered tortillas to go with, because we needed them to soak up all of the delicious sauce. Both meals came with a salad and rice, and the rice was also delicious. It is a beautiful palapa restaurant, we will be going back. Besides, anywhere you can hand feed a chicken next to the table has my vote.
