This was a great find thanks TripAdvisor! Once you see the police station in the Pueblo turn right and it will be down one block. It closes at 8 p.m. not 9. This is family owned and they take pride in the restaurant. My son said it was the best beef tacos he's ever had. I had a Mexicana quesadilla and that was fabulous. I love going to a local places! Great food and cheap. We rode our bikes here the first time. The second time we took a taxi from Del Sol condos it was 6 US dollars.

We saw our neighbours at the condo having a great dinner delivered at home and we asked them about it. We decided to call and all I can say is that they well exceeded our expectations. We tried the seafood paella and it was just excellent.

I almost hate to post this review because La Palapa is already 9almost) too popular! Excellent, excellent local restaurant with terrific local seafood and shrimp, and surprisingly good pasta! Live music several nights a week. Wine and beer prices are very good and the margaritas are fantastic! Proprietors Carlos and Tony -- and extended family -- will be sure to take god care of you! Our favorite!

Here with friends a couple of times and this place is worth the short detour off 307. Excellent guacamole and delicious shrimp empanadas. Staff are friendly, pretended to understand my Spanish, and do a great job. VERY reasonably priced.Recommend a visit if you find yourself in the area.

The Divot offers a charming and peaceful outdoor setting with views overlooking the Puerto Aventuras Golf Course. Ingredients are fresh and locally sourced when available. Stop by for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner. Ask to try Chef Miguelâs specials!

We had an enjoyable lunch here with some friends. The food was good but not spectacular considering the cost. Our granddaughter's chicken had to be returned as it was served cold. The tuna dish was good but it was all fish with very little vegetables or potatoes. I prefer a meal consisting of less protein and more vegetables.
