Lily and Francisco were typically our servers, but there were many more wonderful staff at the restaurant that we interacted with and had a really great time. If you Google the restaurant, you'll see the photos and it's exactly what it looks like right on the beach steps away from the surf. We had great Negronis and margaritas and a number of dinner specialties. Zihuataneo is known for seafood, and we took advantage of it. We hope to return again in a few months and look forward to seeing all of the new friends that we made having more fabulous food and drinks!

Service was very poor! Took forever for order to be taken. Food was good when we received it but…read moreservers never came back to see how we were doing or to ask if we wanted another cocktail. There were only two other tables being served so it wasn't like they were busy. Ambiance was very bright meaning overhead lights too bright. And there were servers standing around doing nothing. We had to flag them down for all our services. Awful experience especially after eating at the Hyatt restaurants. Shame on Doña Prudencia. I won't be back and I'm spreading this awful experience to friends who will be arriving soon.

The bad first, ordered the Lamb Rib. Do not recommend unless you like it very fatty. Sauce was tasty, side vegies steamed. Now the highlights. Beef fajitas were great! Finished meal with Mexican coffee which was to my surprise a table side entertainment flame show (see photo). Then came the banana flambay. Another table side flame show (see GIF). Both were entertaining and delicious. I heard from another couple that the pasta was also delicious. Recommend this place with exception of Lamb!

Its located at the end of the town walking path and has a good flow of people the come by. The restaurant is laid out like many others in that there is both a patio that flows to the indoor outdoor atmosphere. There are a lot of great choices but I always love eating grilled octopus (pulpo). It came out perfectly cooked with avocado and spanish rice as part of the dish. From the menu there is an assortment of other dishes and varied seafood tacos. There is an assortment of drinks too, but I had the Hugo Spritz which was perfect for that time of day. I look forward to my next visits and will for sure try other tasty options from their menu.
