It was very hot while we dined and there was no breeze. A fan would have been wonderful! The bad: You choose 2 or 3 courses for $1300 or $1500MXN. At this price, you expect really exceptional food. This just wasn't the case for us. I ordered the steak, which came with a green sauce and potatoes. The potatoes were delicious. The filet was more like a sirloin but was more tough than a sirloin. It was very disappointing, but more than that, when the server asked how everything was, he seemed as if he already knew the steak was tough. I ended up getting the coconut shrimp (4) instead. They were served on a bed of cooked and spiced apples along with a salad rolled up in thinly sliced jicama similar to a sushi roll. The second course I ordered was dessert. The pictures don't do the presentation justice because it is so dark, but the food is beautiful. Paying this much for coconut shrimp and dessert (basically a molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream) really left me feeling very disappointed. Would not recommend nor return.

This outdoor restaurant gives you all the romantic dreamy vibes. We enjoyed so many of their dishes. I only regret, not paying more attention to what it is that we had. The octopus was delicious and we managed to order all four of their desserts are such a beautiful, quaint setting.

My wife had the sunset shrimp which were done " Al punto". I had the seared ahi tuna steak in garlic which was truly excellent. Drinks were well made and tasty without overdoing them.

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!

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!

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.

Hopefully they will update some I let them know it was open. This time was perfect. The ambiance was lovely. It is not by the beach, but is really pretty with a water feature, open airy feel and live music. This year the music was nice, and we all got up to slow dance. Very romantic and fun. Our best friends that we were with also enjoyed and both couples enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. JD, the captain of the servers, was super friendly and attentive. Judy our server was super sweet and attentive. Top notch service for sure. The BBQ ribs were great! Our friend had the quail, and she was not impressed. Pork chops were really good also.

We had Caesar salads (fresh, crisp, not overdressed), my husband had the shrimp chile relleno (I did not get offered the traditional bite to taste and his plate was wiped clean, he said it was really good) and I had the snapper and shrimp in a cream sauce with mushrooms and jalepenos and veg/rice - the fish and shrimp was very good, not a bit of that left; the vegetables were cooked properly, not overdone, rice was also properly cooked. We shared the Z lime pie for dessert, which had a sorbet type consistency vs a custard - very cold and refreshing. Our server was attentive but not overbearing and was fun to visit with.
