    Shrimp with garlic butter
    Placido D.

    This is a legit local joint for seafood. Located a 5-10 minute drive away from the touristy malecón center in La Paz. El Toro Güero is very popular with locals. The menu choices are numerous and varied, the seafood is very fresh, portions are large enough to share and prices are very reasonable. Lots of easy streetside parking. Ample open air dining under a huge palapa-like roof and roving mariachis during evenings. If you are searching for a great fish or seafood meal at a reasonable prices, make your way here for the real Mexican experience.

    Grilled octopus.

    Didn't have to walk too far from our camping area. Very good and reasonable price seafood. From fresh fish to octopus to clams and their infamous cocktails. We ordered the grilled octopus and ahi tuna with garlic sauce. The portions are huge can't fish mine. They come with shrimp soup/broth with dinner. All the condiments to your choice. Service is very fast and friendly. Very island liked place to dine.

    Ceviche

    Great restaurant! Service was great, seated us right away and only took 10 minutes for food to come! Food was absurd! Especially their shrimp stuffed potatoes. It was made perfectly aside from the cheese being a tad too heavy. Vibe was nothing to write home about. It was Mexican style but more quiet which made it calmer. This restaurant was excellent in total! I highly recommend this as a go to place for La Paz seafood restaurants!

    Fish tacos
    Samantha G.

    So good! Our whole dinner was fabulous! We got mango juices and it was really good. The soup appetizer that they handed out was good too. We got the fish tacos, shrimp empanadas and coconut shrimp. The empanadas were amazing- so flavorful and crispy. The only thing that I wouldn't get again would be the fist tacos- just not that good. We would definitely come back again.

    Oysters are .64!! Cheapest oysters we found but not the best, still worth it though. Clams were bomb and actually everything was amazing

    It's a was meh experience. So many positive review and our friends have been here numerous times and heard nothing but great things. However, this visit with those friends were subpar. The food were overcooked, burnt and lack taste. The lobsters dish was very good and cooked well. The giant ship boat, "Fiesta de Camarones" was over battered in old oil and was mostly untouched by the end of dinner. The staff was great and services was fast.

    This place is sooooo amazing. We all ordered something different and I was shocked at how delicious and fresh everything was! And in American dollars you really can't beat it or find any comparable in the states . Please head on over if you're in the area!

    If you ever find yourself in this magical town, make sure you come here. This spot is popular among the locals. You know it's gonna be good if the locals eat here! We had everything from the mixed seafood app, oysters, cevechi and shrimp aguachile! All heavenly.. amazing fresh salsa, they also have habanero salsa, just ask!! You can take ceviche to go for a yummy snack for later, trust me you will want some later after swimming and living life in beautiful La Paz. I will be back!! From San Diego, CA

    Servicio súper rápido, mariscos deliciosos! El Molcajete maléfico estuvo para chuparse los dedos. Los tacos al gobernador de marlín ricos ricos ricos. Llegamos como a la 1 de la tarde y no estaba tan lleno de gente.

    Tostada de camarón y pulpo

    This place is a must for anyone craving fresh seafood! All our expectations were met! It's not a fancy place but the food is superb! The servers are quick and attentive. I wish I lived closer.

    Shrimp empanadas
    Franny Z.

    We wanted fish tacos and were recommended by one of the servers at our hotel to come here. I had the camarones gobernador tacos and the shrimp empanadas. They were both good. My friends ordered the fish tacos but they were kind of disappointed that they had to assemble the tacos themselves. My husband ordered and liked the aguachiles. My strawberry margarita was strong.

    Sashimi
    Mark P.

    Allow me to tell you my opinion of El Toro Güero.. first off I gave the restaurant 4 stars and here is why... We were a party of 10 they sat us very quick, slapped some menus on the table and returned in 10 min to take our orders. We ordered everything from sashimi, shrimp cocktails, fish tacos, oysters, lobster, empanadas, and whole fried sea bass. Everything was tasty but the fish tacos can be better they were lacking flavor. We were told that this place is a tourist restaurant not really a place the local visit, however this does not change the quality of the food. The mix drinks were strong and delicious. I would return to this place (after finding a local favorite) and would recommend to friends. - temperature check when entering - servers were mask - restaurant / restrooms are clean - service was average - would recommend and return - if you want the best fish tacos (IMO) go to El Zarape Malecon you won't be disappointed

    18 Oysters. $18 Mexican pesos each

    Cercas pero no tan cercas a la zona turística. Los mariscos son excelentes. Ambiente familiar. Y la comida esta muy rica para todos.

    Phenomenal. If you have the opportunity to eat here do it. Freshest and best Octopus I've ever had. Can't wait to eat there again.

    Locals favorite, reliable mariscos in an old school palapa right on the main drag. Nothing standout on the menu but no big letdowns either

It's a beautiful setting, their attention to detail is readily apparent. Modern and masculine with just enough rustic features to remind you they're cooking meat over flames, you immediately know that you're in for a treat. We had bone marrow served with refried beans (Who knew this was a killer combo?!?), Caesar salad (fresh and traditional), fish tacos (savory and snappy with zest), elote (maybe the highlight of the night, perfectly prepared tender corn oozing with flavor), whole snapper roasted over mesquite, rib eye (perfect medium rare with crispy rendered fat)...oh man...what a treat! Probably my 6th time here over the last decade and they've always been good. They now might be at their peak. It's expensive, likely one of the most costly meals you'll have in La Paz - we ordered wines, drinks, multiple apps, entrees and desserts - and spent around $100 US each for a dinner that would cost twice as much stateside. If you like fine dining, this place is an absolute must.
