Went here for lunch last month, service was extremely slow. Food just ok and not worth the price. View was great and some horses ran by on the beach while we were waiting for our food.

We went here 3 times during our week in Samara. Once to eat and the other 2 times for Mojitos. We timed it so we could enjoy our last sunset in Samara at a table on the beach sipping on Mojitos. I have been to Cuba a couple of times and this recipe rivals anything we have had there. The... More

We chose this restaurant as we heard it had a good reputation for fresh fish. Neither of our meals was that special, and my wife said hers tasted like a "boil in the bag" meal. Service was painfully slow, taking almost an hour to get our food after ordering it. Little in the way of smiles from the waitresses who... More

Great food on the beach, listening to the ocean, in a tranquil setting under the trees. And nice cold beer. If you go to el Ancla, be sure to try their Caribbean Chicken, Filet Mignon with red wine sauce and mushrooms, breaded squid, chicken cordon bleu or for a lighter meal, their fish sandwich. All excellent and served with a... More
