We are a small establishment located at the main street (sonora#13). We opened our doors in 2002, and since then we put all our efforts to provide a pleasant stay accompanied by excellent service and delicious dishes. All our dishes are made at the moment

We enjoyed delicious pancakes, coffee, hash browns and eggs mexicana. They make everything the way you like it and with excellent service. It's not on the water but right on the little street where you can see the going on of the town.

This restaurant requires a boat trip out to the tip of a peninsula which is provided free of charge by the restaurant. Service was great and prompt. Food was priced fair and drinks were good.We sat on the open air deck projecting out over the water.This is a good sized restaurant.

Restaurante Colimilla

Reviewed By pickybiz

Visited the restaurant with a large group of friends. We took a short boat ride from our hotel and we were greeted by very friendly staff. The place is very rustic with plastic chairs and metal tables but very authentic. Did not particularly like my shrimp cocktail or their special "fish roll"... but some in my party got grilled lobsters and they looked amazing... very affordable too! Good place to chillax and enjoy a true Mexican seafood place. Bathrooms were spotless! A definite plus!

Battered shrimp was over cooked and hard to eat . The battered Marlin was over cooked as well, so the edge of the serving was not edible. I have not been served shrimp with the skins on for a long time. When garlic shrimps are cooked with the skins on there is no flavour to them.The location was nice but the food leaves a lot to be desired.

This is not a large restaurant and it is along a side street. It is a family-run restaurant with great service and very enjoyable food. Don't overlook this gem.

We came here for dinner and stayed for 5 hours! Lovely setting and good food. What made the night was the staff and the entertainment. Our waitress Fatima (hope i spelled that correctly) was amazing. Froy is wonderfully entertaining and funny and Salvador was playing some great tunes. We will be back!!

El Manglito

Reviewed By bradg352

I can't imagine slower service. The first trip here the food was quite good but we waited 45 minutes after twice asking for our check. We went a few days later and the portions of molcajete we're drastically smaller. We ordered two portions to share amongst four people which was plenty the first night. The second trip the portions were drastically smaller. We also ran out of tortillas twice and finally gave up asking and finished without tortillas. I felt the service and inconsistency are not worth the higher prices charged here. Much better food, service and prices can be found in Barra.

All I can say is that previous reviews are right on. This is a unique experience in Barra de Navidad, serving up excelllent food, charming service, an informative and extensive tequila experience, and the all-important marshmallow toasting.I should underscore that the food here is consistently good, something that is unusual in this area. Most other restaurants might offer good fare on a given night, but it's hit and miss most of the time. Barra Galeria is one of three where you can be reasonably confident of getting a good dining experience (Marlena's and Simona's are the others).
