Best ocean view in town! Great breakfast lunch and dinner
I eat here often but just discovered the Sunday breakfast buffet. It was great. They have some of the best fried shrimp in town, good fish also. The everyday breakfast is very good with the view of the bay. The building isn’t much but the view is exceptional. Parking is easy but I usually walk there.
Excellent fish, seafood, and drinks for very reasonable prices. Our group of seven had friendly and attentive service and most of us enjoyed a variation of the sea bass that was the catch that day (Veracruz, d’aglio, and garlic butter). One of us had coconut shrimp (which was fantastic and beautifully presented) and the tortilla soup. The setting has a great view, though the interior is not terribly fancy. Nonetheless, it was well worth the stop!
Good breakfast place, friendly staff, and a beautiful view
The SPBA Follies were held here and the servers and staff were very helpful.
Yet another excellent restaurant in beautiful San Carlos. Right on the water, relaxing atmosphere and cool hanging beach chairs. Amazing Pina Coladas and Chilaquiles. Almost every meal was under 150 pesos, yet super tasty and had me wanting to order more. The only thing I'd critique is the wait. If you are short on time. Our group of 7 took over half an hour, but we run on beach time so no problemo
Not really expensive and iy hss good food, view is nice and it even has a pool.
Food could stand improvement, but service and views are among the best in town. They have a nice pool and if you eat and drink there, they don't mind you using it. Super staff and the owner is darling.
