We were led to this restaurant by a local salesman--and it turned out to be amazing! It was Labor Day in Mexico, so traffic was diverted down the street onto which the place opens. A touch noisy, but the food more than made up for it. The staff, particularly Edgar, was most engaging! We were there for breakfast. The omelettes... More

We ate at this restaurant twice (supper and brunch) and the food was excellent both times. During our supper visit, we received free tequila shots and appetizers as well as the usual unlimited nachos and salsa. The waiters were very friendly and courteous. It’s very well located, just a few blocks from the Malecon. It’s not very big so you... More

Kinda just found this little place just off Melacon (boardwalk) about a block or so up. Wonderful Waiter (Edwin Garcia) made us feel very welcome with a shot of tequila and a description of such as well as a very nice appetizer. The meal was VERY enjoyable and reasonably priced. Edwin was great and we would most definately revisit this... More

I chose to try El Sazon del Aca strictly based on the reviews I have read here. I was not disappointed. This is a quaint little place you would probably never find on your own. Located a couple blocks inland from the famous Malecon and equal distance down from the central flea market, it's tucked away on a small side... More

Apr 30, 2013: Would never have found this place if not for the beach vendor who hassled our group on the boardwalk and I could not be happier that we took the chance! The vendor showed us a bunch of menus as we walked by the boardwalk and after one of us asking him if he knew where bacon wrapped... More

We had an exquisitely delicious shrimp dish (and these were REAL jumbo shrimp) stuffed with almonds in a scrumptious sauce and then wrapped in bacon! OMG - Ive eaten in lots of different countries but never had this originally prepared dish. Props to the cooks; also props to the very wonderful and friendly wait staff! Truly enjoyed visiting from Perris,... More

We asked a local man for a recommendation for good ceviche, and he walked us to this wonderful local restaurant!! Excellent pescado (fish) ceviche!! Edwin Garcia, the owner, was very attentive, helpful & friendly. They have a great menu, with lots of variety, including items with a gourmet flare right down to basic local fare. It is a small, quaint... More
