Surf clubs abound—catch a wave with an expert instructor if you’re a hang-ten rookie, trying to hang with the surfer big boys.

El Pescador

Reviewed By Cynthia A

Came to town for lunch off a cruise ship. The food is good and the portions very generous. I got the Pulpo (octopus) in red sauce and my husband had the skirt steak with Chimichura sauce. It comes with a small green salad, rice, and fries, All for around $10.00. Neither one of us could finish it. I saw a whole grilled fish at the next table and it looked excellent too. Local beer Tona is 1.50. It is a bit of a longer walk from pier, but worth it and a pleasant walk.

Now this is place to eat. Big portions, very inexpensive and delicious. We loved everything about the authentic outdoor BBQ here. They may be cooking on the street and it looks sketchy but we ate there twice and had great meals both times. Beats paying a fortune for the meals on the beach.

Very poor cocktails - my mojito looked like pond water. You couldn't take a sip without getting a mouthful of rotten mint leaf. When we politely tried to explain to the staff their rude response was "well that's how we make mojitos." They took the mojitos away and still charged us for them?! Don't waste your money here - head to any of the other (better) bars on the beach.Thank you for your comment,so sorry we try to do better and not was possible

The place is real local, simple and nice.The food is OK (fresh fish and seafood) but after a couple of tries, you get tired of it 'cause you always get rice, platanos and salad with every dish.

This is the largest and one of the oldest restaurants in San Juan del Sur. It is the most popular restaurant serving traditional Nicaraguan beach fare. Located right on the beach! Full service, full bar. Fabulous sunsets!

Our Son ordered the mixed seafood appetizer and it arrived in a deep fried tortilla bowl. There were lobsters as well as other seafood and vegetables in a wonderful tempura. The octopus was flavorful and tender, which can be a challenge. The chicken au gratin, recommended by our waiter, was delicious. It came with rice as well as tempura yucca that looked like French fries. Deeelish We all left extremely satisfied with our meals and service. I believe our waiters name was Reynaldo. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Very pleased

This is still the best place to have breakfast if you want something different from a sandwich. They have Nicaraguan breakfasts, American breakfasts and a variety of other tasty food. It is a bit expensive for SJDS but it's definitely worth it.
