Our Guestbook
“ Our tour guide, Jose Banda, recommended this restaurant, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The food was absolutely delicious. We shared a starter, then each had a main course, and the portions were so generous we could barely finish. The service provided by our waitress, Anna, was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and professional. Thank you for making our visit so memorable! ”
“ If you like crab this is THE place to go! Get some fresh ceviche for starters then the "tacontento" and I guarantee you'll be more than contento. No less than 3 whole crabs with 3 colorful tacos on the side (ask for the level of chili when you order - it can get hot!) With a perfect location facing the laguna and friendly service, this was one of the seafood highlights of the trip. ”
