His goal is to treat his guests like royalty. Beware, the food is excellent! The restaurant is old school, simple and near the road. The menu is local and creative. One of the trademark items is a Cesar salad made at the table. Another is the Camarones Flambé. Finish with Bananas Flambé (he like to flambé). On our second visit, I called ahead to request a Chile Relleno (off menu). I was treated to a choice of three styles and decided to try the seafood. The pepper was filled with a blend of cheese, mushroom, onion & cream and topped with fish & shrimp. Amazing! Meanwhile, we we enjoyed classic Latin folk music played live by three men with perfect harmony. We will always dine here when we return.

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.

I would suggest to try their aguas/natural fruit juices as they have a variety. We ordered the naranja y piña (orange w/ pineapple) and it was very delicious. It was very refreshing after a walk around the downtown area in the hot/humid weather. Their meals are hit or miss based on your expectations... Ordered the chile relleno, and although the flavor was there, it just wasn't cooked all the way so the chile was still too hard/crunchy. We also ordered the camarones al mojo de ajo, with a special request of mild spicy level and those were pretty flavorful but not spicy. Just beware that they are made/served not peeled so you need to get down and dirty peeling all your own shrimp. They have room for improvement but I'd give them another chance.

On this trip we stopped by an afternoon snack and a couple of cocktails (of course). The Pearl has a large beachside patio and a restaurant with a full bar. Classic rock is always playing at the bar and they will set up a large screen TV for you if you wish to watch a game. You can easily split their Apps and entrees. The seafood ceviche is one of our favorites. Prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. You will see your favorite server year after year as there is minimal turnover. The vibe here is laid back, very laid back. On this visit we arrived in our swim suits and I was sans shirt. No shirt no shoes no problem here! As a bonus they do accept CCs for payment.

We had great Negronis and margaritas and a number of dinner specialties. Zihuataneo is known for seafood, and we took advantage of it.

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.

I won't be back and I'm spreading this awful experience to friends who will be arriving soon.
