    Pear and friend goat cheese salad
    Lucy R.

    We have come here years ago for breakfast and thought it would be a great place to come for dinner so this year on our return to zihua we did just that and came with another couple. We ordered appetizers to start which everyone enjoyed what they each ordered. For dinner my husband has the rib eye steak and quite enjoyed it as well as our friend having the rigatoni in beef stew. Service is very friendly, but if you are in a rush ( which you shouldn't be since you're on vacation) you will need to patiently wait until the cook your food fresh

    The food was amazing here at El Vigía! From dinner plates to dessert it was great! We had a blast! I really enjoyed the Mahi Mahi dinner plate! The arrachera was also amazing! Will def be eating here again!

    We have been coming here for three years and it doesn't disappoint. Great for kids, gluten free options, and the setting can't be beat. I have tried them all and I promise you this is the best piña colada in town. The parrots provide awesome kid entertainment while you are waiting for your yummy eats. El Vigia is perfect for folks who have spent the afternoon at the beach and are willing to walk 150 yards off the sand to get a superior superior meal. Delicious. Tranquil. Authentic.

    Our meal was just so-so. The watermelon salad was good but the mojitos was horrible. Setting is pretty and staff was nice.

    The good: The stunning location and ambiance cannot be beat. The walk down through the beautiful Le…read moreCasa Que Canta was a treat as well. The service was excellent as well. 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.

Since we are celebrating 30 year anniversary, we wanted something special. Located on the Promenade near the fishing boats. It was authentic, and service was friendly and prompt. Our starter was Guacamole with thinly sliced and fried plantains, with crumbles Mexican cheese on top. A green spicy salsa, and one that I thought was sundried tomatoes but was charred plantain and chilis, which was sweet and amazing. It was delicious. Another appetizer was tuna (catch of the day) tartar. Fantastic. The main dish was catch of the day. Mine was charred Red Snapper with chili's and corn garnish. It was so good, I even ate some of the skin. The fish was cooked perfectly, moist, melted in your mouth. My husband had Seared Tuna, he said was the best ever. We are foodies from San Francisco, California and felt this dish would be in the Michelin Star category. We forgot to take pictures of the food, but now that the book is finished. Go there, see for yourself. Hopefully, you'll also have a fantastic experience.

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 came once before and will be back in the future

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. Am so glad we decided to try La Casa Vieja, we definitely will be back now that we know what we've been missing.
