“Great place for Americans to feel at home.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012 via mobile

Stayed in Samara for one week. Spent a lot of time at Lo Que Hay talking with the owner and staff. Friendly ex-pats. $2.50 beers and pretty good food. The atmosphere couldn't be better. Right on the beach. Definitely have a Pilsen and the choripapas (steak fries smothered in queso, chorizo, and pico de gallo.

“Taco Tuesdays is a must!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Good atmosphere and good prices. I traveled alone and joined a big table with wonderful conversation, right on the beach. Their Tuesday Taco special is pretty hard to beat: 1 chorizo sausage taco wth a beer for $3!

“Enjoy, it is always a great place to be!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

Whether you are sitting out on the beach enjoying the sunshine, under the trees in the shade, under the ranch enjoying the great music or in the bar watching a bit of sports on the TV, Lo Que Hay is a favorite place to join in with others, or just sit and enjoy the beautiful beach with a cold one in hand! Super service and tasty menu!
