Reviewed By olofink - Dusseldorf, Germany
the restaurant is located directly on the beach. we had a great family lunch, on a quiet Monday afternoon. the place was only 10% occupied - which made it a super experience - great attention, quick service, no rush... The fish platters are great, try them with one of the additional sauces, e.g. 'salsa de camarones'. the view from the Terrace is relaxing (see pictures). not sure how crowded it can be in summer time / long weekends, but in off-season it's a 'must' location to visit!!

Pica Mar Adentro doesn't look promising from the road, but once you are in there is a clean, modern restaurant, professionally-administered with quite good seafood. It's important to realize that the portions are really quite large and you should look for opportunities to share. The...MoreThanks for your opinion welcome back any time

I went there in early September I enjoyed very much the sea food I had. It was well prepared, excellent taste and well presented. Main dishes have fancy names so you need to request description. The service was also very good. I highly recommend it when you are visiting La Serena

Great seafood restaurant. They definitely don't skimp on the quantity of fish you get in each dish. Although there were a few ' lost in translation' moments the very helpful waiter produced a special gringo menu. Very pleasant experience and can definitely recommend.

We are not vegetarians, but got tipped on this restaurant with recent new French owners. The food was delicious and we got a starter on the house. It's not cheap, but really good.
7. Jack Fish

Reviewed By Eric K - Fribourg, Switzerland
We discovered the Jack Fish by following another excellent recommendation recommendations of the "Primera hacienda" owners (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g303674-d8132721-Reviews-Primera_Hacienda_Hotel_Boutique-La_Serena_Coquimbo_Region.html)
This a tiny place, 4-5 tables inside, 2 outside, and the first thing you discover is that the place is Rock'n'roll. The menu is based on famous rock/hard-rock bands, there's rock music on the TV and the staff are of the same material.
We got an amazing contact with the waiter(owner ?) and ended up by returning two more times.
I'll definitely recommend the Ceviche's which are famous
Wonderful time here !
Gracias amigo

My boyfriend and I popped in here for a quick bite before a theater show and were pleasantly surprised by everything! First, the location is off the main road, inside a quiet patio. The service was efficient, and the food of good portion, executed nicely. Good Piscos, great price....highly recommend!

The Sandwich was intense and huge. Okay, I have seen other big sandwiches here in Chile but most don't have a lot of flavour and the food tends to be a little bland and pedestrian at most establishments. Hold your horses though, this place was awesome. Good price, delicious Sandwich. Intensely huge. Jugo Natural piña was delicious too! Second best overall meal I have had in Chile and definitely by far the best Sandwich, relaxed atmosphere and great service. Gracias!
10. Burger Club

Reviewed By M Alfredo G - Svendborg, Denmark
In general, the place is one of the two best options for hamburgers in town. Compared to Ciudad Capital, I'd say these hamburgers are look better and are more stable in quality. Great service, food arrives fast and tastes as good as it looks, which is great. There's not much other than burgers here, there are some veggie options, meat or chicken (haven't tried those). Dessert options are limited, as well as drinks and juices. The place looks well kept and clean, though it does feel more like a fast food place (get in, eat and leave) than Ciudad Capital (where the environment is more welcoming and homey), which is the obvious competitor. Like burgers, you can't go wrong with Burger Club.
