We had the Mahi Mahi tacos which were lovely . They had lovely sauces and not the usual which LA Terracita tends to be all about . We also had the sliced raw tuna with a delicate but delicious sauce . The pork ribs were meaty and big even tho there were only 2 of them . This is our 2nd x here in 2 days . Yesterday we had lunch , the best mole enchiladas and chocolate milkshake with what tasted like a marshmallow whip.on top. The view and atmosphere is the best .

Great place for breakfast. The view is spectacular, the food is great and the service is very good. I had the costenos and my wife had the benedictines. We shared a fruit plate and both had coffee. 490 peso so reasonable prices. We would highly recommend it and will definitely go back.

One of the best breakfast/lunch place in Zihua! Great food and service but also some of the best views of the bay as you are above ground right in the middle of the bay. Often with a nice breeze as you enjoy your meal with some fresh fruit juices...

I had the most delicious French toast, special of the day. Sweet, but not overly so, with a subtle orange taste. Such a perfect combination with my cafe’ de olla. Everything about the experience was fantastic! No wonder, it’s my favorite place for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

As most locals do l'm starting breakfast with a pastry of some form. In this case a coconut pastry bar and then onto the entree of Pobretones which are scrambled eggs with pieces of fried tortilla, topped with red sauce, cream, cotija cheese, onion, cilantro, and served with refried beans with chorizo and house-made tortillas. The view is fantastic here. Excellent food, service, reasonable prices and this view. No doubt l'll be there a few times.

This is a beautiful restaurant off the beach. Many friends of mine enjoyed their meals. We had baguettes and these had great flavor. The "asadero" was well worth it. The salad was extremely salty so it was hard to eat. The French toast is shareable. It's quite a big dish. The staff was friendly and very attentive too. We were a large party and we all were well taken care of. We hope to revisit in the future.
