Restaurants in Acapulco

In Acapulco, you’ll find a wide variety of places offering the best in international cuisine. Among the port city’s traditional dishes are: ceviche prepared with Sierra fish, octopus in vinegar, clams, various seafood cocktails and the famous pescado a la talla (the grilled catch of the day). We also recommend that you try the stuffed suckling pig or the picaditas in Puerto Marques, which are made by frying tortilla dough in lard and topping it with various ingredients and a spicy Serrano chili pepper sauce.

Another tasty treat is the pellizcada, which in Acapulco is a type of gordita filled with fish, olives and spices. You’ll also find fish tamales with Mexican pepper leaf, white rice, white or Guerrero-style green pozole and coconut sweets. To accompany the feast, have a drink of petaquilla, a mescal derivative prepared with local grapes, or sip on a regional drink called a tuba, prepared with coconut or regional fruits.

La Vela
Carretera Escénica km.14 Baja Catita 18, Camino Real Hotel

Set on a wharf that juts out into Pichilingue Bay, this open-air dining spot is protected by a dramatic roof that simulates a huge white sail. It's very atmospheric after dark, when a stillness hangs over the bay and the lights of Puerto Marqués flicker in the distance. A variety of fish and shellfish dishes are on the menu, but the specialty of the house is the red snapper a la talla (basted with chile and other spices and broiled over hot coals).

La Perla
El Mirador Hotel

The cliffs of la Quebrada, the moon and the stars are the unique romantic setting to spend and unforgettable evening. Enjoy the famous cliff divers show while dining in an elegant and fancy atmosphere, and admire the pictures & signatures of the rich and famous in their "hall of fame".

La Cabana de Caleta
Playa Caleta Lado Ote, Acapulco, Mexico 39390

In the 1950s this local favorite was a bohemian hangout that attracted renowned bullfighters along with Mexican songwriter Agustin Lara and his lady love, Maria Felix. You can see their photos over the bar and sample the same dishes that made the place famous back then. For traditional Mexican cuisine with an innovative twist, try baby shark tamales - they're the house specialty. The steaming seafood casserole and curried shrimp sautéed in garlic and sea salt also win raves. Non-seafood eaters will enjoy feasting on spicy chicken tacos. La Cabana offers lockers and showers for those that want to take a dip in the warm waters of the bay.
