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.

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.

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.

The hot chocolate was ok, but I'm a snob with that beverage. Smoothie was perfect and the toast with jam was great surprise. I give it 5 stars, it's also really affordable and made with quality ingredients. Full breakfast for under $20. Sadly, many Canadian & US citizen tourists complain that prices are high. They are a 1/4 of the cost of your home countries. Mexicans need to live, too. I will say to the negative reviews, you don't order steak or beef in Zihuatanejo. Only a few places do a ribeye ok. Chicken and pork based meals are done well.

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.

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.
